Hi Ladies I bought my dyson back in the UK. Where in Dubai can I buy one? The one I had looks like this one, in fact exactly the same. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Dyson-DC08-Origin-Cylinder-Cleaner/dp/B00080F6G0 Now that were in apartment not sure whether I should go for the same one or go for the Upright. Can you lovely ladies kind to share where you bought a dyson and which one did you go for and why, how much it cost in Dubai. Times like this you wish there was a sale ... TIA x

Thanks ladies for all suggestions...sorry for the late response I went to sephora and got a sample of Urban Decay complexion potion and mattifying gel so trying that out atm. Ive tried smashbox after few hours the shine was back but not as much. Has anyone used those Fix up spray to set the makeup do they work? The brands ive come accross clarins, sisley and urban decay,,anyone tried them is it worth getting??? @SueR Ive used the city block one and yes that sets well but am wanting to try other brands. Am off to a wedding abroad which willl be on the beach and i want my make up to stay put wothout have to phaff around with adding on make up in case it slides off and dabbing sweat off my face every minute ... @river85 I found the bobbi brown one heavy too. Looks like the Bare Essentials is a popular one might try that one next. Thanks everyone you all been a great help will try and post back once Ive decided which product that has worked for my skin type. Would love to hear feedback--I wondered about the UD one, myself. I have used both the Laura Mercier Primer and the Lorac--can't find them here. Currently using smashbox on the days that I care enough to. :) On the Clarins spray, are you referring to the skin care spray that's named something like rp3? I've never seen their foundation fixative spray...the skin care spray did not fix my makeup although the associate was selling it as a fixative. More like an energizer. Sephora's own PL brand used to make a fixative spray which I really liked. But as much as they discontinue and reformulate, I don't know if it is still around. Hi Beebers [b'>On the Clarins spray, are you referring to the skin care spray that's named something like rp3? I've never seen their foundation fixative spr[/b'> Have no idea? the one I know of is called Make up "fix Up" no idea if they have changed the product. There another spray think its more for ppl who looks tired etc its called "expertise screen mist"

Hi Ladies Am literally on the edge of chucking all my Make up, had a clear out at the weekend and today I though I should've chucked everything, I kept a few because I like the colours of but they go way back, am such a holder! I need to move on and buy new ones and keep it minimal so ladies am in the mood for make up shopping and lets hope its a joyful trip and not having the sales assistant down my neck and wanting a sale.. Your help is appreciated. TIA.

Hi Ladies Does such think exist?? Do you have to purchase separate ones, one for the eyes face and lips or can you just use the Face primer for all? TIA

Hi Louise and Burnsie Thanks for your advice ladies really appreciated. I have my MRI scan on Sat so hopefully will get some answers and get back to losing all this weight so determined! I did the JM in the pass and assume the "Jumping Jacks" might have done the injury to my ankle... I have been under the weather for 2 weeks and now with the weather warming up I hope to do a bit of swimming. So again ladies... Thanks x

FB, are you sure your skin became oily/comb.? asking you cause for years I thought my skin is oily, but recently I've found out (through some good beautician) I have a dry/comb skin, just my skin produces more oil. But overall, I like Clinique range Hi Dramaqn def. I think its oily/combo maybe I need to see a good beautician. Atm am using clinique too, the Superdefense range. Can you share your beautician? Thanks.

I was doing Aerobics zumba and 30 day shred few months back.. I have no idea how i did it, not sure if it was the dreaded jumping jacks from that 30 day shred...they are horrible! Seen the dotor, gave me inflammtary tablets, gel and advised I get ankle support., done all of that and still im in pain cant stand on my feet for too long it swells up ..went back to doctor again last week took xray - no broken bones ...and now doctor advised I see a bone doctor..which is scheduled next Tuesday... Am so fustrated Iost a couple of kilos just before xmas; kept the weight off duiring xmas (which I was quite surprised about) and now 2 kilos is back on only because I havent done no cardio for couple of months (proper excercise that will help me lose the weight) .. been walking only to the malls and around where I live) and doing windsor pilates which I feel I need to combine with cardio... Ladies, your help and advise is appreciated if you can share some info or anyone who has had a similar experience ..am so detrermined to lose 2 stones by november this yr ...now I have this injury...the timing couldnt come at a better time...sods law!

he asked if i had bought a card, as if i had he would go out to get one for me, then announced he had booked a game of golf that night with a few friends, when it finished early due to unfortunate circumstances for a member of his team he asked where dinner was when he got back.! hmmmmmmmmm lets just say i didnt say it will be on the table in a minute. he got his own. :) i had made myself a nice dinner and had a box of chocs and a glass of bubbles, with my candles lit, i was relaxed and happy and was in the process of watching a cute chick flick movie - so i wasnt moving - ah the joys of being married to an unromantic man.

Hi Apparently Alseef 2 and 3, Tamweel Tower, Medina Tower and Green lakes are the best ones. They are huge. HTH

I have fine curly hair which i have a lot of; after washing it always has a volumn to it. Any of the treatments mention below will that help thinning on the crown?? TIA

Thanks everyone for all your suggestions. @ Shamat - DH not keen on Burj al arab but found out he prefers Burj khalifa - Atmosphere, will check what the menu like. @BNBH - Have to be organised here, whereas if it was back home no problem everything at your door step. The mall that I think your on about is it the Town centre one (Zaks Uniform shop is) I think that what Cornish Pixie mentioned below? Good luck with your prep. hope you managed to sort something out. @Dibdab - would you know the name of the the shop and whereabouts in DIFC? thanks. @UAE2012 - Shame that one has shut down. Anyone else has more suggestions ... Another thing, what about the boat restaurants @ the walk I think it was call "Venus" cant recall the name. Would anyone know. TIA

So how many days have you done in total? And are you eating healthily as well? I found I started to see results after about ten days, and I did it five days in a row in the week and tried for at least one weekend day as well. The other one was written off for a hangover :D. Don't give up. I know it's hard - I swore at Jillian and the TV far more than I did giving birth - but it's worth it in the end. Well, at least, it was for me because I knew I couldn't be bothered going to the gym for an hour! Ive done 13 days in total with breaks inbetween..I think a lot of it is the food intake and I love my food Mornings if im in a rush I have a protein shake. I will look into my diet bit more. Thanks everyone ..will try and stick to it.. <em>edited by Fr!zzyBusY on 25/10/2011</em>
