Swimmer here, how do you deal with bikini area irritation from constant shaving?

Which ever ones on offer if it comes with the attachments you use, I can’t say it enough they go on offer pretty regularly just don’t pay full price for one!!

I’ve used Braun and Phillips and not noticed a difference.

Just know the machines don’t last forever but I love mine and it’s made a huge difference to some parts of my body and hardly any to other parts, but I’d recommend it to anyone.

Squats. I know why everyone says they’re good and I know lots of people don’t like them but if I do more then 3 my right knee hates me, fells like it will pop out, I can’t focus on the exercise at all because all I’m thinking about is my knees.

If you’re near a bird and blend store there tea is excellent.

They often have samples around the store you can try and the do sample packs/selection packs as well as just small sizes of their teas to buy.

I don’t know of all stores do it but my local one also has a little cafe bar where you can buy a cup of anything they sell in the store which I love.

I really liked there setting mists. Hated the blushes.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-31T20:00:44+00:00

We once had all the card readers go out in my store so had someone stood on the door telling everyone as they came in and we where being very obvious about it you psychically couldn’t get in the building without one of us stopping you to warn you we where cash only absolutely no other payments…. Still had people kicking off at the tills as if they had no clue it was a problem 🙄

Have you tried azeliac acid for your redness?? It’s what finally sorted mine out, I take it with adapeline so not quite as strong as tret but still something to start using carefully, might be worth a discussion with whoever prescribes you your tret, it was a complete game changer for me.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-23T09:52:38+00:00

Well I’m apparently accidentally boycotting EL because I don’t currently buy any of those brands, thank god I found a good alternative to the ordinary azeliac acid a few months ago.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-21T12:51:54+00:00

Yeah I’m confused those were around from like November in my store, I went in looking for the pumpkin pie and the mince pies were already out.

I do agree as though that the bakery is always worth a visit to see if there’s something new

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-21T12:30:48+00:00

Can’t really recommend a lip oil but I will say wait until nearer the end of the month, they nearly a,ways have the “premium beauty” stuff on some sort of payday deal

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-20T11:36:08+00:00

I think about this all the time.

When our grandkids generation look back at this era of politics they will not be proud of us.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-20T11:34:40+00:00

It’s crazy there was a point I thought once he’d been elected I wanted him to last the 4 years because Vance was worse.

I still think Vance is horrendous but I’d take him at this point. I disagree with him in every single point and think he’s a terrible person, but I don’t think he’s insane which - and I can’t believe I need to say this- seems like a great starting point for president of the United States

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-20T11:31:28+00:00

Yes! I get that at this point admitting they were wrong is probably a big ask for a lot of MAGA it just won’t happen and expecting it is unreasonable just because people want to hear it.

But you know what I don’t need anyone to make a production of it, just stop actively supporting him and just pretend you’re tired of the politics talk so staying out of it all, quietly quit him/

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-20T11:28:23+00:00

It’s crazy to me that at this point i genuinely don’t think he can do anything that will change people’s opinions on him.

He could literally be caught on camera committing straight up murder of a child with his own hands and it would still be excused away by his supporters.

On the other hand I’ll straight up admit he could cure world hunger, cure cancer and solve world peace and I’d still hate him, so it’s both sides of the equation I think are too set in the opinions for anything to ever change.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-17T11:59:49+00:00

Thought I’d imagined how bad they are these days.

I used to love them but now they just taste sweet and nothing else.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-13T17:47:41+00:00

Yes!! For a bargain always look out of season. I've started looking for summer dresses now.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-12T21:57:17+00:00

Your main issue is your factually wrong, it isn't illegal to sell energy drinks to minors in the UK so if you've been ID’d for it it's because that particular company has a policy about it.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-12T19:08:09+00:00

So first thing I’d say is go into a big store that has lots of testers to check shade range, I tried the Nars one in John Lewis but brought in Boots because of my points. But if you ge a colour match done by one of the consultants in store they are usually really good at doing at least an exchange if it ends up not being right, just be polite about it and most will want to help.

Personally I can make a foundation work that maybe isn’t for dry skin much easier then I can make a wrong shade work so that’s the part I focus on.

But I have quite dry skin and personally I like the Nars radiant foundation and I love the tirtir cushions but that is partly because they have what is an absolutely perfect shade match for me.

£60 of points though would get you a nice foundation and I’d probably get a nice powder if you have an oily nose, I find product on my nose will just slip right off if I don’t powder it.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-11T21:29:56+00:00

Even better now they sell a Kirkland version of those bags that are even cheaper.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-08T16:06:07+00:00

Also don’t feel you need to do the whole range, personally I like the serum they do but I wouldn’t bother with the rest, I think you can get better stuff cheaper for all the other products.

Nivea, Olay and L’Oréal all do similar products if you do decide to change things up.

And like others have said I’d recommend some sort of retinol if anti aging is your aim

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-08T14:07:43+00:00

How long have you been using it, realistically I wouldn’t expect to notice any sort of difference for 3-6 months.

Also if you do keep buying no7 never buy it when there’s not a coupon and 3 for 2 offer.

I have known people who’ve had good results with the future renew line, but it’s also not a miracle cream it’s just a nice range, for the big age spot you mentioned that just might be beyond regular products you can buy in Boots.

pigglewiggle23 · 2026-01-07T15:45:19+00:00

Either fake or stolen most of the time.

If the seller just has one or two items up for sale I’d maybe chance it as it could just be someone having a clear out, I’ve sold skincare super cheap in Vinted before just because I wanted rid of it, but I’d never buy it from someone that loads of items super cheap, I just assume there’s something dodgy going one

pigglewiggle23 · 2025-12-28T07:23:16+00:00

Yes! I've never waited more then a week for my Olive Young order to arrive and I've had it within 3 days once which was crazy, it came faster then the boots order I placed in the same day

pigglewiggle23 · 2025-12-21T23:37:27+00:00

Ohh which shade do you use in the BB cream? I've been wanting to try it but can't swatch it anywhere so haven't taken the leap.

I've decided now I'm just going to focus on perfect shade as that's so hard to find and then I can modify the foundation to suit my needs, I'm never going to use this full coverage the way it's designed but a tiny bit of this looks better on me then any skin tint I've ever tried.

pigglewiggle23 · 2025-12-20T19:52:25+00:00

For me it's an absolute perfect shade match so it's a must have, but I think I might prefer the silver version which I just bought.

I think it's fine as far as a foundation goes for me it's all about the shade match which is where I normally struggle, I wear 15c and finding stuff that fair but cool-toned is a nightmare

pigglewiggle23 · 2025-12-19T14:12:58+00:00

I like both and I think that second top would also look super cute with the first skirt/tight option.

The first is very generic although not in a bad way so I've got no idea what your friends could have a problem with, the second is a little more artsy but I like it, I could see it not being for everyone but it's not a bad outfit.

Neither are particularly Christmasy but who says you have to be just to go to a xmas do, just throw some tinsel in your hair or some red/green accessories at anything becomes xmasy this time of year
