Sali Hughes #25 Gifted. I try very hard to pay but she will not have it

[Mustard]

I’m with you on no 7 - never rated a thing I’ve tried over the last 20-25 years!

I used to like a green coverup cream that they did years ago. It worked really well for high colour. An ex boyfriend of mine used to use it fit his job as a TV reporter. I don’t think they do it any more.

Tell us more about the TV reporter boyfriend
That sounds glamorous!

Affluent looking Amber & Leather. Top notes of crying troll.

Maintenance Shag. A floral bouquet of resignation and reveries of lying back and thinking of England.

I think you mean Wales surely.

 

[Skiddidlydaddle]

I was burning a teak and tobacco candle last night and have just ordered an amber and moss one. I can't stand those cloying spicy, sweet ones. I love the ones that smell of death and decay

Me too! There is a nice, rotten one from Zara, Nordic Leather which is very, erm, leatherish. Like a warm leather belt.

Perhaps you'll enjoy our line called "Yellow"

I think you mean Wales surely.

I do, I do. Apologies for my English Imperialism showing through.

And what the duck is this about a candle in the glove box??

This might be hands-down the dumbest thing she's ever said

Maybe she should change the habit of a lifetime and oh, I dunno, do some research?

She is entirely without self-doubt, so research probably doesn't even occur to her

It’s this one - not cedar wood as I said but teakwood

Soy Candle [Teakwood & Tobacco]

Hand poured soy wax candle from P.F. Candle Co. in an apothecary-inspired amber glass jar, with signature kraft labelling.

This is the one I have too

Nice! What will you get?

You know, considering Sali gets sent a load of nice things to try on the regular, I find it astonishing that she looks such a mess. Look at her!

Blimey that foundation is just the wrong colour. So orange.
And it's her personal choice obviously but her hair is not doing her any favours. Yes sounds bitchy but she gets free high end treatments from Hershesons and free products no doubt which she promotes so commentary is permitted I would think.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

It’s frightening how good you are at this!

If I could go back in time, I'd add some smutty notes to the Lipstick and Lube candle, just to denote the lube part. Crushed lipstick at the bottom of Nan's handbag with a hint of animalic civet

 

[rosemarina]

I do, I do. Apologies for my English Imperialism showing through.

You literally erased her heritage there.

If you're not careful, Earl of East will make a candle based on your flat - although there might be too much overlap with their "The Local" candle (notes of spilt beer, sticky carpet, pork scratchings & cigarette ash). https://www.earlofeast.com/blogs/journal/scents-of-normality

I am sorely tempted

Lipstick and lube

Lipstick and Lube smells like your Nan's favourite lipstick and the bottom of her handbag

Lipstick, Lube and Liberalism

And what the duck is this about a candle in the glove box??

Hopefully not a euphemism.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

And how could we forget the Valley Girl candle? Notes of daffodil and Welsh mountain spring water

Sorry I know I keep suggesting thread titles but this is perfect!

Amber & Moss is one of the ones I got on Black Friday! It's lush.

 

[SqualorVictoria]

I ordered that Scalpy thing. Am big into looking after my hair lately, have gotten into the habit of applying a deep conditioner as a pre shampoo treatment and I think it's making a difference

 

[Badabing101]

@cholulamare You’ll be cheered to hear I’ve just got back from John Lewis and had a good sniff on the Cire Trudon candles - my olfactory craving has been satisfied.

He worked for ITV. Had crazy shifts including very early morning starts which were not glamorous. I hated getting woken up so early. I can’t believe I used to iron a shirt for him too, because he’d not done it himself.

Speaking of candles, I have just discovered a fresh and unused Tobacco Absolute candle from Molton Brown! I feel like I have just won the lottery (lookfantastic has stopped offering discounts on Molton Brown and I hate paying full price for anything).

And Sali’s latest video is up.

Why is her face so orange?!

And her neck is a completely different shade. Utterly bizarre.

which preshampoo treatment are you using?
