    UU:

    Hesperides Grapefruit Eau de Parfum 30mls. Already replaced. A favourite citrus scent for work.

    Lancôme Cils Booster XL Mascara base. It was a "deluxe" sized sample that is almost identical in size to the one you buy (which I did). Lashes aren't breaking anymore and don't seem so dry when the mascara comes off.

    Got two face creams and a wash that should be done by the end of the month.

    I'm finally getting to the point where I can toss things without feeling guilty.

    The push is too use up samples, the little foil packets that multiply and take over you counter top.

    One UU this morning:

    The Body Shop Shea Body Butter 50ml WDBA. This is my favourite range from The Body Shop and I'm tempted to get a big tub but I don't know whether I'd use it all up before it went bad. I've got a £5 voucher at The Body Shop to use before the end of the month. What to buy?

    Well I ended up buying three things. I got the Almond & Honey hand cream, another tub of the Camomile Cleansing Butter and a big tub of Shea body butter. But I did save about £14. It came to £29 altogether but there's a 30% off code on the website and I had a £5 reward, so I only paid £15 for it all :)

    I have a uu

    Yes to Carrots Nourishing Mask 50ml - I like this but find that it is deep cleansing not nourishing, it is a clay which dries quickly so all done in just over 5 minutes. WBA.

    and a GA

    Barry M Light Reflecting Concealer to DD to replace her Collection one.

    One UU from last night:

    The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml WDBA and have. This is my HG cleanser. It's nourishing and gentle and hydrating. It's perfect and it smells divine. I'm going to start using the Clinique TTDO balm to see what it's like, I've heard good thing about it. But I've got another tub of this on it's way to me :)

    UU
    The Body Shop - Spa of the world Scrub-in-oil - 350g. There was lots of oil left so I added some table salt but oh no left me itchy and I've now wasted the oil, lesson learnt. Can anyone recommend another really oily scrub?
    La Roche Posay - eye cream - 2ml sample. Don't think I'll get to Aldi this week, any recommendations for a cheap eye cream available at Boots?

    IN
    Boots dry shampoo

    Hi ladies!

    I just got back from holiday late Saturday night, so I’m a bit behind – but caught up on the thread now I think.

    I had quite a few UUs while travelling, but can’t remember them all  Something like:
    - Pack of Boots cucumber face wipes
    - Travel deodorant
    - Several sachets of moisturiser
    - 5 x travel bottles or sachets of shampoo and conditioner
    - 1 travel toothpaste
    - 1 sachet body lotion

    And 1 UU last night:
    - Elemis frangipani monoi body balm. WBA, on offer. Love this scent, love Elemis body stuff, just refuse to pay full price :D

    Also a few ins, taking advantage of shopping abroad:
    - Replacement travel deodorant
    - 2 essence nailpolishes
    - 2 matte lipglosses – 1 Kiko, 1 Essence
    - Eyebrow brush (essence)

    So not too bad, honest ;)

    My skin is now a little unbalanced from travelling though – so some pampering this week will definitely follow! Also did my nails last night – a deep teal fine glitter polish from Sephora, and Seche Vite on top. I had to revive the Seche vite with some Seche Restore, and the Seche vite is definitely getting low. I’ve plenty of other top coats though, so hopefully it’ll be done soon.
