    A few UU to list, been a bit slack with my posting lately so better catch up!
    Elvive Colour Protect Conditioner WIBA? No. Was OK but I prefer Aussie
    Crabtree & Evelyn Iris Body Lotion and Fragrance freebie. Nice but wouldn't buy it.
    Britney Spears Radiance Sample- might buy it, quite sweet but nice.
    Paco Rabanne Lady Million sample- wouldn't buy it as there are perfumes I'd rather buy but might get the "type" from Perfume Parlour.
    Radox Smoothie Shower Gel- very nice smell, lathered up well, WIBA? possibly after I've used up all the BS stuff I got on offer and all the travel sizes I have in my stash:o

    Finished off my conditioner this morning so another 10 to go. Fortunately/unfortunately a bottle can last me 4-6 months so no need to worry about using those other bottles up any time soon.

    Also my hand cream is on spluttering stages and am thinking of being really good and cutting the tube open to get the last dregs :A

    I had a sort out yesterday, so some outs :D

    Clinique foundation, had it for a few years and it had split.
    Clinique mascara x2 both freebies and rather elderly.
    Veet waxing stuff, it was a sticky nightmare when I used it, so why I kept hold of it for another 6 months :eek:

    But....I did buy a new Clinique foundation, which I intend to use :D my mum was also buying some clinique, so I managed to use my advantage card and got 1750 in points....so it was almost free :D:D

    My Aloe Vera order arrived this evening so here goes:
    1 aloe heat lotion (like deep heat)
    1 aloe moisturizer
    2 avocado soaps
    1 aloe toothpaste
    1 deodorant stick
    1 large liquid soap
    3 lip balms
    1 lipstick

    I also got sent a pack with 1 aloe vera gel (to drink), 1 liquid soap, 1 aloe vera gelly tube, 1 deodorant, 1 aloe jojoba shampoo, 1 toothpaste, 1 mosturiser, 1 lipbalm (should be 2 though?), 1 propolis cream and a conditioner. Bit scared as this should be over £100 and I didn't order it. I'll text her and see what I'm supposed to do with it! To be fair, everything in there will get used except for the drinking gel but I already spent £76.96 on what I did order so don't really want and can't really afford the other stuff.
    Hmm, I'll see what she says and update you all tomorrow. Off for my bath now. I didn't sleep well last night so am hoping for a better night tonight :)

    Finished another nail polish off today Boots 17 fast finish WIBIA? No i always wear black and this is hard to apply for me as it needs at least 3 coats and seems to start drying as i'm applying the first coat then the second one takes forever to dry.
  • another couple of UU's to report:
    clinique repairwear eye cream - this was a little gwp pot and I do really like it but have a couple of others to use up so won't be buying this for a while
    dove silk deodorant - will be buying this again eventually when I've used up the other deodorants in the stash
