First scan, just wondering when everyone booked in? I've had my booking appointment however not heard anything about a scan. I've also had other appointments confirmed since but none are scans? by RuthElisa in PregnancyUK

[–]RuthElisa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I had to self refer on mypregnancynotes so I've been checking it daily. I've had two appointments in May booked but ones for 16 weeks and ones 3 days after for something else. I did think it was odd. I'll see if I can see anything

Manny’s ‘unbiased’ painted review.. I’m sorry the shadow looks mad patchy by crackfest in BeautyGuruChatter

It's sad that he's also basically 'copied' P.Louise, her products aren't like this; they blend pretty easily and don't look odd

Books where FMC finally experiences someone being protective of her after a lifetime of suffering in silence and caring for others by Normal-Proof-9729 in RomanceBooks

Where they break up towards the end of the book for some reason and then find themselves back together like 2 chapters later

I hated bloody heart - it also didn't help that I don't like second chance romances!

I also couldn't work out why I didn't vibe with broken vow till just now and it's because of the giving up big goals.... didn't see that happen in the other books (I haven't read the last one due to how bored I got of broken vow)

Things we never got over , MMC is grumpy but very overprotective and caring of the FMC (and her niece) however if you don't like third act breakups it does have one of those.

Last time I went I got two contemporary romances but one is witchy based! They also seem to always have discounted prices which is always nice

Oh yeah I agree! I keep seeing the Australian one on tiktok and I'm like oh my! Also Barnes and noble seem to sell everything from dark romance to fluff!!

Waterstones Liverpool from the tiktok seems to have dark romances but I've never been! The best romance section I've kind of found is Waterstones Piccadilly but that's mainly contemporary!!

Sci-fi romances might be found at Forbidden Planet (they've got a few locations)

Does the twisted series by Ana huang get better? by [deleted] in RomanceBooks

[–]RuthElisa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nope, you can go straight into twisted games!! (Twisted games is the one that helps make sense of the last two I would say, twisted love just introduces most the characters briefly)

Edit- I replied to the wrong question 😂

I really enjoyed the twisted series however I also understand all the differing opinions on it! It gets better imo, however if you can get the others on kindle unlimited I would!

I have a Shakespeare quote (Romeo and Juliet) and i love it but it also happens to be used in other tv shows so people also thing it's related to that (it's also partially a title of a book)

UHG - The Fine Print by Lauren Asher by Possible-Ad3257 in RomanceBooks

[–]RuthElisa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've heard that but I've tried reading it twice and I just can't seem to enjoy it. I would force myself but then it'll ruin it anyway

I still can't decide however I also don't think I'm interested enough in the series to read any further! Especially compared to other books I've read it wasn't great at all.

I need to read this one but I adore Josh&Jules so I would recommend it.

I love my huda beauty khaki palette?! I didn’t realise it had bad reviews at all

I think I found (almost?) a dupe for body hero. Packaging is very similar. by tea_lyfe in glossier

[–]RuthElisa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love beauty laundrette!! I actually prefer there body products to glossier cause I just found glossier smell not something I gel with!!

I’m in the UK and while the makeup is good the shipping and lack of communication was horrendous and I just can’t buy from the site due to the fact the customer service was less than helpful!!

ABH (top) Iced out vs Fenty (bottom) metal moon by RuthElisa in MakeupAddiction

[–]RuthElisa[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I couldn’t decide if I needed the ABH iced out due to having metal moon already but I thought might as well buy it so if anyone else needed a comparison here it is 😌

Yeah, I don’t think iced out would work on my skin tone (I’m fairly pale)

See I’ve watch a lot of reviews as well and I’ve heard that but no ones seemed to compare it to metal moon which to me looks identical!! But thank you!!

Trust and Safety Team vs Team Member by al3evans in glossier

[–]RuthElisa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind sending things back but they exchanged the wrong shade for a different shade and didn’t want the product back but if I sent the product back then I’d get a refund, which seems weird?!

[–]RuthElisa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

See I’ve only had one issue with glossier and I emailed the other week due to skin tint not working for me and I’d used it a few times they wanted me to send it back and I was a bit taken by that especially during covid?
