I was debating with myself whether to post it or not in case it was a bit inappropiate, but I was raging no one told me about the last one and I found out too late when it was sold out, Im glad someone benefitted also as squeakyduck kindly pointed out to me you get 50 per cent off any other waxing when you use that voucher, happy days!

Lol there's been a few waxing threads on Boards so I don't see how it could be viewed as inappropriate lol

Didn't know about the 50% off other waxing treatments with this voucher, thanks for letting me know

Does anyone know if the O.P.I nail polishes are any good?

Thanks!

Anyone know any fake tans that don't come off in the shower very easily? Going away in a couple of weeks, won't have time to be redoing tan every day. I'm like really pale, so I don't want it to be very dark...less translucent white would be good :P

I have 3 of 'em and they're not bad. That said, I would invest in Rimmel before OPI as I find the brushes way better and the consistency less water-y. Not bad, but not great.

They look gorgeous you should go for it!

Gorgeous BarleyBooley, I'd be a bit wary though, those glittery shoes have a tendency to shed the glitter and can look a bit shoddy after a while..

LadyMayBelle

Not been round here in a bit..where's Sapsorrow disappeared to? I miss gunesax dresses!

Good lord, another awful make over on Off The Rails.

I saw the Off the Rails book on sale in Eason's after Christmas for €1 and very nearly bought it for the pictures. The advice was so awful and generic that even €1 was too much to pay for it! :eek:

I find Sonia Lennon a bit overbearing I saw her on the model scouts giving style advice and she came across very badly, I think it's a pity it's thew only style show on RTE and it's absolutely desperate, No wonder people think Irish people have no fashion sense. There is a host of young presenters who could give it an edgier feel.

I didn't like what they did to that woman's hair at all, and I thought the make up they put on her eyes was too dark and practically made her eyes disappear.
Plus, what was with the spring/summer tip bit? Most of the stuff was ridiculously expensive! Like a dress for 6 hundred euro. I doubt there were many people watching who'd want to or be able to spend that much on one item of clothing.

Her eye make up was awful! Her hair was lovely the original colour, all it needed was a stylish tidy. And the husband. Well, my god, I don't know what to say! They're working, young, parents, should they not have given them better advice for day to day? I mean, the dad is hardly going to wear his pink cashmere sweater and loafers down at the park, or bringing the kids to school. And she's not gonna wear shorts and four inch heels doing the shopping. There definitely needs to be more practical advice, as well as the glam side.

Yep, way too expensive. Fair enough show us the cat walk inspiration, but then let us know where to find one for cheaper :pac:

Exactly! Her hair was much nicer lighter. Oh, I know! The husband! I couldn't believe some of the stuff they were putting him in - those cream chinos with the sweater and the blazer! He looked way older than he actually is, and it was just so... wrong!

Or the under fifty euro look. Sonia's wasn't even under fifty 'cause she didn't include the price of the shoes, just the top and skirt and I thought it was awful anyway!

God I am so sick of shops with their vanity sizing. Was at topshop yesterday and the dresses in the "love" range (some of which are very nice) are swimming off me in the s/m size! I'm not that small...what about very skinny people! And there were a dress in the topshop own brand range that I liked which was way too big in an 8. Are clothes just getting bigger everywhere?!

+1 to this.

In London a few weeks ago I tried on [URL=http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?beginIndex=0&viewAllFlag=&catalogId=33057&storeId=12556&productId=2109870&langId=-1&sort_field=Relevance&categoryId=208523&parent_categoryId=203984&sort_field=Relevance&pageSize=20&refinements=Colour{1}~[grey]&noOfRefinements=]this[/URL]and looked two sizes too big on me!

It's difficult to find nice knitwear as it is then when I finally find something, it's too big!:(

And everyone got rid of their size six! An 8 is like a 10 in most places now, I can never buy anything and the 8s were too big on me to begin with.

There is an awful lot of oversized stuff in too though which as I've mentioned before irritates the hell out of me. Topshop are particularly guilty of it. There was an off the shoulder top I thought looked nice, Im normally a size 12 and had to put on a size 6 so that you could actually see that I had a body underneath it.

Sibylla

This can be a killer with online shopping, If you order your own size the dress can look like a tent and it looks like you have no figure. I find Darling, Mina and Modcloth the best in these situations.

Saw this dress and this one in Oasis yesterday, want both but can't really justify dropping that much money on clothes after I spent quite a lot in Barcelona last weekend :mad:

On a slightly related note, wanted to buy another dress in Promod in Barcelona but they didn't have my size, went to check the website and it's €20 more expensive on the Irish website than it was in Spain! :eek:

Twee.

The second dress is beautiful!

I tried this dress on today in River Island. So lovely, but I can't really justify it. €53 isn't obscene, but I wouldn't be able to wear it for ages, until the weather gets better.

Yeah that's really bloody annoying. I got a lovely scarf in Promod in Germany, lost it, then went to buy it online from here and it was almost twice the price! :eek: Nearly rang my Dad to get him to buy it in France for me and just post it over!

I am such a genius, bought the wrong size shoes in Penney's Gonna have to go in tomorrow to change them because I want them for tomorrow night!

Anyone know any good second hand shops/markets in berlin?
