HooArghh that's fab - well done!!!

I've been mega busy. I did full on 80s face for our work Christmas party on Thursday. My style idol was Dee Snyder in this pic Wink Blue eyeshadow up to my eyebrows (super messy because I laughed so hard), heavy black eye pencil, neon pink lipstick layered with neon pink gloss, a pouf of backcombed hair, half a can of hairspray and a neon yellow headband. Worn with this outfit, vintage aerobics shoes and turquoise mini dumbbells. Wink

Updating DIY advent calendar, have just spread yesterday's Missha Super Aqua Snail cream sample on my face and today's Immortal Youth Moisturizer on my neck and decolleté. I got a sample of L'Oreal Revitalift on Day 8 and will slap it on my legs because it is full of cyclosiloxane. (Not TTC but it appears to be harmful to the aquatic environment - Do not buy!)

Oh, and I'm going to do Red December: I'll wear red lipstick every day until the end of December. Started yesterday with an über chic NYX matte red.

Bye bye muted mauves!

MimieD · 10/12/2016 08:44

ememem84 · 10/12/2016 09:50

Is today going to be the day I finish my eye balm???

I've not been doing too well. Have been slacking on my skincare routine as have been feeling so tired. Probably this is when I needed said routine the most.

DragonNoodleCake · 10/12/2016 11:59

Well done all!

Frustrated - I'm going for red lips today too!

Operation glam up a dragon had commenced! I've using stuff up too! Meeting colleagues (the ones I get on with anyhoo) in town later for afternoon cocktails and tapas.

I've got a really nice dress from phase eight (pictured) so I'm planning shimmery beige eyes with good old fashioned black liquid liner flick and red lippy!!

My Lancôme hydra intense mask is finished. Just off to use up an anti yellow platinum conditioner now!

StrawberryandCreamPips · 10/12/2016 16:28

Love dress and eyes Dragon

Feeling a bit shiny after first day of argan oil use but then again it could be hormones ...

Oh, and trial pot of Lush Bubbly shower gel I got yesterday already used up this morning - nice orangey spicy fragrance

Trundle13 · 10/12/2016 18:21

kwick sorry can't help on the LF calendar question, but "Miranda" is a Lush soap (with a lovely tropical fruit scent at the start, which sadly wanes...especially unfortunate as the sodding thing goes on for MONTHS Angry)

Trundle13 · 10/12/2016 18:22

Ah sorry my fellow Miranda pal/victim another had already answered the question Smile

Indecisivejo · 10/12/2016 19:16

kwick I return them and say I had an allergic reaction.

kwick · 10/12/2016 20:36

Great eyeline dragon Grin

kwick · 10/12/2016 20:38

Wow inde don't they ask to see the reaction?

DragonNoodleCake · 10/12/2016 21:43

On the bus home!! Lasted 8 hours, 8 drinks, 2 cocktails, tapas, cheese and 2 liquors. Well pleased

Ashamed of my beauty product hoard - Part 3
Indecisivejo · 10/12/2016 21:51

No they just ask what happened and I say it stung or gave me a rash (usually true to be fair) sometimes I have to fill in s form but not always

AnotherPinkiePieStory · 10/12/2016 23:07

dragon wow looking good.you give good eyeliner. Who's is that?

I'm wearing Charlotte tilbury lipstick and fear to look in mirror! Bet its smudged and run. But tbh quite a few Wine so not sure I'll notice. Glasgow to Edinburgh train is rocking tonight and I'm not sure other punters will notice either!?!

FrustratedFrugal · 11/12/2016 08:40

DragonNoodle you eye makeup looks fab before and after

The sun is out! I will wear sunscreen today and bask in the golden light!

Today's advent calendar treat is Vichy Idealia sleeping mask -
saving it for the evening.

kwick · 11/12/2016 08:43

OMG frustrated I forgot the advent until I saw your post!!!

kwick · 11/12/2016 08:47

Yay!!! Something I can use!!!

dragon wow that held up well? Did you use a primer?

Another empty: Garnier Micellar water - pink one, large bottle. Was a gift. Do not like much. Am continuing my quest for a dupe for Bioderma - have a Superdrug one lined up.

Must dash - off for a scan!
