Does anyone use Leg Cooling Gels? I had a sample sachet ages ago and it was fab for my feet/legs when they misbehave and swell up a bit and have been looking for a good one ever since - I usually forget when I'm actually at the store but might remember if I'm looking for a particular product

I'm currently using a Virgin Vie leg cooling gel. Last week OH put way too much on and i ended up with the strangest of feelings with my feet being warm and my calves being freezing cold! So it certainly cools the skin.

another UU from last night:

No7 Face wipes

and 2 IN's, my mum got me:
Garnier Face Wipes and Toner

Thanks for the info EH. I applied the Avon cashmere foundation with fingers. it ended up blotchy, couldnt believe it, it looked lovely at first. I will try different powders with it but if I can't get it to work I will give it to a friend.

Spluttering:
Clarins gentle cleanser - wiba yes. Does what it says on the tin, is more cream and than gel formation. I use this and the extra comfort one.
Clarins Eau Dynamiste shower gel sample - wiba no. It was part of a gift with purchase. the can of shower foam is much nicer.
Elemis face mask, fruit active one - wiba - really dont know! Maybe if in an offer or part of a set. Its ok. Its good for deep cleaning the skin. So I need to use it sparingly.
Clarins extra firming cream large sample - wiba no with hard cash, but will have as part of a gift with purchase. So I will have it again, but won't buy it! It's nice stuff though.

Morning all!


I actually finished the list, and am thoroughly ashamed of myself for having accumulated SO much! It's taken me 20 mins to type it up, and I'm sticking it to the inside of the bathroom door as a reminder!
I may have cheated a little bit with a few instant ‘Outs’. My mum’s nearby shopping centre was asking for ‘Valentine’ gifts for soldiers serving in Afghanistan – goodies boxes with personal items in. I bought several things new (obviously, hygiene) but managed to put in these items too – sachets/trial sizes and unopened!

I went shopping with my mum and aunt yesterday, and we went into Wilkos, Savers, Superdrug and Poundland during the day. I bought no toiletries what so ever! First time in months, as you can see.

I'm off for a lazy day of pampering and fake tan.

Apologies if you knew this already.
No UU's but looking forward to using my new body butter ....
ooooooo that sounds complicated:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:just got back from church and dH was looking into it for me so will see if he could figure it out and if not do as you say thanks

uu YSL Opium body cream that DH bought me for Christmas 09 WIBA OH yes already have in my bargain box from Debs a few weeks ago it is very expensive but lovely and I am worth it:rotfl:Opium is my fav perfume of all time but I know its a bit strong so the cream is nice to wear on its own to be subtle or on top of the perfume for a big night out.

ball last night was packed and I still felt a bit weak so we did not do all the dances.They had red helium balloons on the tables and at the end said people could have them.......not very impressed by those greedy people who took several and I did not get one:(........dance teacher who was playing the music came over at the break and said when you danced past the stage........(thinks compliment on my fantastic dancing!).....your glitter eyeshadow showed up well in the glitter ball:rotfl:


Off to loch Fyne tonight for valentine meal:)

Morning all!

Haven't bought anything all week, so feeling quite virtuous. Just finished a No7 Extreme Length mascara - would buy again, as I love the brush, but I think I've got another one anyway:rotfl: Might have a PYNS later. Hope everyone else is having a good day.

That sounds so pretty I wish I could do something like that in our bathroom but TBH the dog would eat it Last week betwen them they destroyed OH's rubber duck family - one of them had to have actually climbed in the bath to get it :eek:

Thanks - I'll have a look for that one - I can't find it on their website and there's nothing on eBay However! OH popped out and scoured the country for a Telegraph this morning so I have a BS voucher so might use it towards a BS leg gel :beer:

What a lovely idea :T

Rosemary - can you use a different computer/laptop to get your Debs deal?


One UU for me - No7 Day Cream - I think it was Time Resisting but I've rubbed the words off WIBA? Yes - was lovely and thick for a Day Cream and didn't sit on my skin. However, I'm now onto Advance Hydration and I like that one too

Was supposed to be going for a long doggy walk with friends this afternoon but it's pouring with rain and our daft girl won't go out in the rain without whining all the time *rolleyes* so we're stopping in and I'm going to have a long soak and do a hair treatment instead :rotfl:

OWCHIE !!!! (but how the heck do you accidentally get hit in the face with a pool ball????!!!!) hope you get bruiseless soon !!!

lol - I am a manager of a youth centre and we have pool tables for the young people to play. I was walking past one when I ball flew off the table (due to a bad shot- not malice) and thumped me!! Not a pleasant experience.

I love this idea shame I don't use bath bombs or bubble bars.

I have another UU Clinique Aromatics Elixir freebie. I wasn't particularly keen on this at the start as it felt it was too heavy even for evening wear but I persevered. Also noticed a possible bonus when wearing this - a lot more interest from the fellas when I was wearing this. Not just out at night but also at the cinema & lifts!!(which never happens) etc. Wondering if it is one of those pheromone (SP) ones??

Hi Lily and Betty! Some great products to use there!

1 uu for me - dead sea spa majik spot gel - ok, nothing special, have another one to use so will think of a better one for next time, any suggestions?

sarah*a - didn't think of opening a new one! I just used one that was already open! How silly of me!

Rosemary - sounds like you had a fun at your ball, sorry you didn't get a balloon though, maybe ask oh to get you one? I always ask for one at Chiquitos and Frankie and Benny's, they must think I have a mental age of 5!

Got a few things ending on ebay, someone has already bid on the awful BS shampoo and conditioner and cocoa butter shower gel - can't wait to get rid! Few watchers on some other stuff too so am hoping that will sell!

Hope you're all having a fab Sunday!
