I’d love a proper quality set of brushes, but I don’t really wear enough make up to justify it...

Haha ok will do later, have a conference call (meant to be working but getting distracted!!)

Ninkanink · 17/03/2020 11:15

Ok, fine, I guess work should probably be a priority...🙄😆

Congratulations on your wallet, it’s a thing of beauty.

Ohhhhh that gorgeous red! And the damier ebene.....

I don’t want to wait five years to get my first LV!! 😭😭

You will feel fantastic every time you take that wallet out of your bag. Are you sitting and stroking it while you work? Because that’s what I would be doing. 😆

Really happy with the above purchase. Ready for spring (has Spring Sprung, I guess it has!). Dior - Rouge Dior Ultra Roude 555 Ultra Kiss is a lovely pinky coral shade. At least that is how I would describe it. Wearing it today to cheer myself up. And wearing Rimmel Pink Libertine nail polish which is a lovely pinky colour - again a corally pink.

I have finally bought the ABH Moonchild highlighter palette, I've wanted it for YEARS and can't wait to get my hot little paws on it. (Half price, couldn't say no to that!) Even my beloved Revolution Cool Glow highlighter palette (which I got to distract myself from the pretty ABH ones I wanted) didn't help. Blush

@BusterGonad
Yes, you are a woman after my own heart! Happy lipstick hunting! I found Orange Meringue and love it. Grin

This should work, shows you all the colours. Smile I don't know how I feel about them mattifying some of their classic colours though. Cherries in the snow is sacred and should not be messed with!

dudsville · 25/03/2020 07:53

Ooh, i found you all again.

Those birkenstock mules upthread do look lovely, i have the Arizona version. And the sandals i bought were also Arizona nink, i love the narrow fit and soft foot bed and, so comfy. I normally choose suede to add to the comfort but these were a distressed dark grey in leather so i took a chance, i love them!

I'm now waiting on a delivery of too many pairs of trousers from the toast sale and trying desperately not to look for that pretty lip balm shown upthread.

Hi everyone 👋 👋

Been busy lately doing not much at all, heh!

I love being able to wear my pretty pyjamas as loungewear (I don’t wear pyjamas at night so they are normally evening wear and leisurely morning wear for the weekend; I’ve just extended it to all-day wear now 🙂). This was yesterday’s outfit.

My highlighter palette arrived today, it's so pretty! I want the Aurora and Dream glow kits next. Dream is half price, Aurora I can only get full price from the USA with £15 postage on top.

Ninkanink · 30/03/2020 12:49

Oh I do love a new palette! I’m having to work hard not to buy at the moment. Want to wait for now and then treat myself to something nice for my birthday.

I received the two pairs of pyjama trousers I ordered from The White Company - light brushed cotton, white with blue grey dotted pattern. They are so comfy and lovely, and they were half price with an additional 20% off! My spring wardrobe is going to be nothing but pyjamas and loungewear. 😊 I’m waiting on another pair of fluffy slippers and a couple of long nightshirts/dresses.
