    3 more UU's to report tonight:

    Lush Blue Skies shower gel 500g: This took me aaaggggggeeeeessss to use and finally I just threw the last lot in the bath for bubbles tonight! WIBA? Yes, I find the scent really calming, perfect for an evening bath.

    Lush Calacas Shower Jelly: Really fruity, sweet scent. WIBA? Well it's discontinued now but I hate the shower jellies full stop!

    Lush Chameleon ballistic: love the scent and colour of the ballistic.

  • Nice to see you back Tara :).

    Noynoy - Is there something really nice in your stash that you have been saving for best or for a treat? Now may be a good time to open it and get stuck in! There's always the freebies board as well if you need a little fix. Alternatively, are you likely to be asked what you want for Xmas by friends/family? If you know you are going to get some goodies at Xmas maybe it will keep you on the straight and narrow for a little longer?

    I have been using an oil burner tonight to scent the lounge. I've used a Body Shop Vanilla Spice oil. The room smells lovely. I've got a stash of oils and scented candles and have challenged myself to make a real effort over the winter to use them regularly.

  • Use ups:
    Clynol hair treatment mask - WIBA no. Was ok, nothing special. I still seem to be on that journey of finding the ultimate hair treatment.

    Champneys relaxing bath - WIBA no. Lovely smell. But I'm now trying to avoid perfumed / soapy bath foams. Will now try adding a few drops of lavender oil to the bath instead.

    Hello to tara, good to see you back. Whats the news? Well mainly that b**ts and b*** s*** continue to tempt us! That we have had lots of newbies. That katie clampet who first devised this thread deserves a damehood.
    :) Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage
    :cool2: Cherryprint: "More stuff = more stuff to tidy up!"
    Less things. Less stuff. More life.
    :heart: Fab thread: Long daily walks
  • One UU to report - a bottle of L'Oreal gentle eye makeup remover. WIBA? YES! Definately a HG product for me now, not only would I buy it again, I would continue my mission to talk others into buying it too! :D

    Fellow devotee reporting for duty ma'am! All thanks to you! Love the stuff. £3 instead of Clinique £15 odd quid. Plus really nice to use with cotton wool pads over your eyes (like beauty salons do when applying a mask).

    I now need an effective not too strong smelling nail polish remover.
    Also a really good hair treatment/conditioner for highlighted hair. :A
