    Well, you could do the whole face in it.

    Try telling her that.

    I'm just saying you could. It would look hilarious but you could. These are the rage at the moment and I can't see the difference between them and putting eyeshadow on your face. It's blue, green or purple sparkly powder for a ''celestial glow''. Like a cross between one of those creatures from Avatar and a fairy.


    Blue Ice - Diamond white with an icy blue reflect
    Star - A moonstone fusion of mint, platinum and silver reflect
    Purple Horseshoe - A glittering lavender with an arctic blue reflect
    Pink Heart - Pearl white with a pink opal reflect
    Lucky Clover - A shamrock-infused gold with canary yellow diamond reflect
    Blue Moon - Frozen blue with a silver reflect

    Although, looking at Google images, they look class on black skin. I'd wear them if I was black.

    I'm afraid your knowledge of make up has vastly exceeded mine. Out of curiosity, widdershins from books of the fallen?

    I had to Google that. No, just Widdershins as in anti-clockwise.

    Hmm no doubt about it a barbie doll house with no furniture or doll is the worst present I ever got. I'm after opening a present there that comes a close second but I know I should think of the homeless and those less better of than me ( mind you I work my arse off for the bit of money I get as do my friends so I feel like a bitch for complaining)

    an Axe! from the in-laws once - and wife got a box of matches one christmas ... wrapped up in christmas wrapping paper, from her parents .... they were weird anyway


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 47,336 ✭✭✭✭Zaph


    A tin of Andrews Liver Salts in a Secret Santa in work. I reckon the guy who gave the present just had them sitting in his desk drawer as he was notoriously tight.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,551 ✭✭✭swiftblade


    I'm legit happy if I get any present now. :(

    /sappiness.

    Worst was probably the promise of a voucher for a specific shop (was "in the post"), but never actually got it...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,882 ✭✭✭Rattlehead_ie


    I got a packets of seeds one. I was thinking of maybe there is something to go along with it.....but that was it. Just seeds for some elderflower or something like that. Never sown anything in my life and suffer from hayfever.

    I have realised it is time to move on with my life and the people in it. I know I'm hard to buy for and I really don't expect much but I have dropped enough hints this year. " I'm running out of my favourite perfume" " I love dolce and gabanna" " god If I could have a bath of that dolce and gabanna light blue I'd be happy" hint hint. Selfish and pretentious I know.

    I got a second hand racer one year, it was single speed but in fairness my parents were broke. I was about 12 from memory. Seeing my mate on his brand new Raleigh on Christmas Day was hard. Tough times.


  • Registered Users Posts: 70 ✭✭Dancewithme


    Hmm I'm sorry Hugh Mungus I have put blood sweat and tears into listening to this persons ****e. A donation to some charity doesn't cut it. A donation to my perfume collection would have been perfect.

    My ex husband bought me a deep fat fryer after he broke ours and the following year a lady shave. Note I said ex husband!

    were weird.

    At least you put the axe and matches to good use.

    Joop. I split up with her shortly after....

    Bust Beauty Gel to prevent my breasts from ageing and sagging that was given with malicious intent from my flat-chested bitch of a sister-in-law.

    The Christmas Eve storm of 1996 and no electricity for most of Christmas Day.

    Was it 96'? I remember one around 99/00 where we had no electricity down in Cobh and it was the best Christmas ever. Played monopoly by candlelight for 10 hours, drinks were had, arguements, double crossing... It was a great day.

    Friend got in a major Christmas tiff with his girlfriend cos she got him Laphroaig and Hugo Boss for Christmas. They're going out three months, I thought it was a very worthy present considering the time, but there you go. :(

    I got a beautiful Mucha-decorated notebook that's long enough to write my poems and songs in and I got himself the Attack on Titan compendium. Stuff is just stuff but that's great stuff :D

    A One 4 All voucher with 0 on it.

    My older brother got a racer I got a girls bike, which I was very disappointed with, but obviously pretended I wasn't. Thankfully there was something wrong with it, so we took it back, got a full refund. I then bought a second hand racer off a family friend, it was too big for me, so my brother and I swapped and I ended up with his new yellow racer. We were both happy,he put cow horn handle bars on his, resprayed it and thought he was very cool :)

    Along with some passive-aggressive festive cheer?

    "I'm tired of you burning through my bread and walking all over me, happy Christmas"
