I have a small dilemma: after raving over the Chanel foundation sample yesterday, I spontaneously decided to apply my No7 tinted moisturiser using a proper brush, rather than my fingers. It improved it so much there was hardly any difference between that and the Chanel. Which is good, because technically it will save me £20, but I really wanted that Chanel bottle for my dressing table!

:rotfl: i went back to using a foundation brush the other week and as soon as i saw my friends they remarked that i looked flawless and completely even (i did have to check with them that I don't usually look a mess without using the brush!) - it must definitely work!

congrats ebayqueen!!!!
I am adding in my sig how much I am currently spending, and I am shocked that I have already spent £30 when in my mind I had just a couple of spends! It's keeping me focus since I would feel really bad if I end the year with £400 in toiletries that I probably do not need!

Morning all! Just a quick update whilst I'm waiting for my telephone interview :eek: i hate these things!!
Welcome to all newbies to :hello:

Some UU last night/today...
Lush butterball(?) WIBA Yes they are nice but I only like to use these once a week - just have the christmas box to go now! It was the light orangy/yellow one - lovely fragrance but the water did look dirty before i'd even set foot in it (and i'm not a mucky pup!)

BS Coconut body lotion (in the spray bottle) WIBA Yes, it took a while to grow on me but towards the end I loved it! Kept my skin lovely and soft and moisturised all day - and even seemed to minimise regrowth from shaving - bonus!! I will be moving onto the Moringa now but I think the fragrance is a bit too old fashioned for me, it's nice in a once in a while way IYKWIM but i have a few bottles to use up and a body butter of it (only 50ml) so if the worst comes to the worst i'll use that on my legs and move on to the ROC hydra+ for the top of me but I don't really like that smell either!!


Some INs to report (sorry girls)
2x St Tropez 120ml bronzing lotions - these were a bargainous #5.09 (c.75% off) in Sainsburys (spotted on Grabbit!) and I do love my fake tan!
And some cartridges for my venus razor

Have a good day ladies xx

An Olay Regenerist 3 Point Super Serum Freebie: http://www.olay.co.uk/samples-competitions/regenerist-wrinkle-filler-sample/index.php

Well, it will give us another quick UU - and give me something to review on Amazon, without having to buy (forbidden word) the product!

Hi Everyone,
2 UU to report:
Estee lauder advanced night repair- I brought this partly with a gift voucher at the time of their GWP, but even still I think it is hugely over-priced and not all that great tbh. WIBA- definitely not.

Akin rosehip oil- love this stuff, was far more devastated that this had finished then the EL and it is about a 10th of the price. WIBA- yes but may buy a larger amount of generic rosehip oil from a supplier my friend recommended.

Another friend has been raving about the clarisonic and it's all I can think about:o:D. I don't have the money for it though and am not putting it on my cc so may have to try and put aside $1 a day so I can buy it next year lol.

Another fan of foundation brushes here - makes it so much easier to go on and a much nicer finish I think.

I use YSL foundation with a built in brush (it is a bit tricky as you squeeze the tube to get some on the brush and easy to overdo!)I aply with the brush then rub in more with fingers.It is expensive but lasts ages and now it is on some of the cheap online sites:)you need quite a dark colour tho,I use no9 which surprised the sales girl when I 1st bought it.
went on Boots site BUT no Gok or Ferne left:(.....not that I was going to buy anyway!!!

Welcome to all the newbies :wave:

Fingers crossed RoshyDoshy.

Another 2 UUs for me

Clinique happy to be freebie. WIBA nope - its okay but I have others that I love.

Johnsons Shower & Shave 250ml WIBA - yes already have another two in may stash. Really like this as it does a few jobs. Had so many of them in my stash for so long felt they were starting to get past their best. So they are top priority in the UU mission.

That is £4 I should be putting in my pot but as I have been so good :A of late and not spent any money I have no change left in my purse.

I am heading off now to use my gift voucher for the Xfeet fish tank thingy. Will need to pick up a few items for a party I am throwing tomorrow night so I will get change then - just need to remember to put the money in my pot.

Have a good day ladies.
