Oooh, reference the freebie, does it come with the magazine or is there a coupon inside that you have to redeem in store/by post?

I'm feeling tempted....

Its a voucher towards the back of the magazine, so will cost you £1.95 for the magazine.I love Grazia,so worth buying the mag anywayx:)

How and ever, I have one and I really don't like the scent of lavender (much more a frankincense and geranium girl myself! ), so you're more than welcome to have it, if you want. It's only been opened to smell it. Just PM me if you do

That's really kind! PM on it's way, thanks x

Ladies, I may have found the best ever eye makeup remover! I'm tough to please in this area - previously the best I've found was Clinique's horribly pricey take the day off, however at the moment I'm using L'oreal gentle eye makeup remover and it's fab! Really leaves your eye area feeling refreshed, and only needs the gentlest of sweeps over the lid to shift even mascara. Not tried it on waterproof as I don't wear it, but brilliantly good on normal stuff. Best of all, only about £2.99 - bargain!

Hi all - finished a Botanics shampoo - would buy again, but have at least two more anyway. And finished a box of camomile tea too!

Hi everyone, well I’ve spent a productive day of rest finally listing my stock of toiletries. I always knew I had a lot but putting it on a list has sickened me (even if I can guarantee that I didn’t at least buy the gift sets). I’ve still got the bedside draws and dressing table to list along with my meagre supply of make-up. You’ll find a lot of Sanctuary products as it’s one of the few ranges I can use with my eczema ridden skin. Obviously I do not need to buy any toiletry products for a very long time! If it’s got a * by it it’s been tested/used.

Have made it through June and July now almost unscathed! My one purchase was for a Simple Eye Cream, since it was going so cheap in a euro store. Anything else I bought was for DD's so I guess that doesn't count?

UU - Cyclax vitamin E body lotion. WIBA - was ok but nothing amazing, plus I haven't seen this around anywhere so I think it's discontinued.

UU - Green People Body Comfort Lotion. WIBA - again ok but nothing to write home about.

Afternoon ladies
A few UU's
BS Moroccan Rose Body Spray-beautiful and long lasting, will be buying again
N Spa Blueberry Body Wash-lovely fruity smell, WIBA?Probably as it can also be used as a BBath too, so double the use
BS Wild Cherry Shower Gel-i cant stand cherries,but this smells gorgeous,WIBA?If it was in a glitch,but wouldnt normally pay £6 for a shower gel
Dove Roll on-green one, fresh smell and kept me fresh,WIBA/Yes, just bought 3 from Boots as only £1 at mo,bargain...

Have a good weekendxx

Thanks for the tip my lovely, I'll store that nugget away for when my BiFacil runs out.

Well done on doing the list Lemon Tree. It's a bit of a kicker isn't it? :eek: When I did mine though, it really brought home to me what my weaknesses are, and underlined that I just plain have tooooooo much of everything!

The hardest thing I have found so far is not stocking up on my staples when they're on special offer. And I daren't go near a beauty counter at gwp time! :eek:

Hiya girls, I'm just posting an anticipated UU list for this weekend as I'll be too busy with birthdays/dissertation due/going to watch celtic v arsenal lol

Asda Spa minerals invigorating shower gel WIBA yes it was one of those 4 for £3 offers and they last ages, lather up well and smells really fresh. I think I have a creme one to use next but can defo recommend this one and its unisex too - i notice that my dad has been using this in addition to my brunette hair care ranges, body butters, face mask (don't ask, so funny walking in on him trying to put it on 'secretly' before his bath!) etc etc! If i didnt know better, i'd worry!

Charles worthington brilliant brunette shampoo WIBA got this on the tesco glitch, bored of it now so using them up quite quickly. Its nice but i prefer the john freida ones, and i'm craving a change!!

Have a good day ladies x

UU Ren Oat Shampoo 100ml WIBA? Not sure. This is the first Ren Product I've ever bought that I haven't loved. I bought it for the integrity of the ingredients list - but I'm having trouble getting used to the lack of silicones and surfactants in it! It takes work and two shampoos to make it foam and my hair seems like a dried out tangled mess after rinsing until I apply conditioner - and then it's fine. My hair's actually lovely at the end but I'm not sure I'd go for this again if I can find a no nasties shampoo that foams.

UU Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant 30ml WIBA? No. As well as not being keen on the ingredients I think this stuff is too harsh for my skin. I had problematic skin a couple of years ago for about a decade and this was a throwback to those dark days.

UU Elemis Liquid Layer sunblock 15ml WIBA? Probably not. It has quite a heavy texture that I only really feel comfortable using on my neck and decollete which can tolerate it. I couldn't stand it on my face.

UU Ren Detox mask 5ml WIBA? Yes, definitely. I like the smoothing brightening effect that lasts a few days. Whenever I do an at home facial I use this - that's why all my other masks are so neglected. I'm pushing to do face masks at the next Swap Fest so that I can use some of them up. Luckily I have a few of these in The Stash so I shouldn't need to buy any for a while.

I also have to confess a purchase of some more Dermalogica Hydro Active Mineral Salts - but they were bargainous on eBay.

I've also seen the dermatologist and got prescribed some Lotriderm Cream and Epaderm Ointment for my horrible dry flakey lips which have been diagnosed as lip eczema. I'm not allowed to use anything else on my lips until I see her again in about a month. (no lipgloss! :eek:)

I've got lots of things on their last squidges so I hope to have some more UUs early in the August thread.

Have a lovely weekend everybody! :j
