    Finally picked up my Gok set from the sorting office so 4 in's - body wash, body butter, hand cream and shower scrub. I have smelt them and I do like the smell, I don't love it but I like it. I shall see how they perform :D

    I love the lovely Gok stuff :D

    Couple of UU:

    OS mint and tea tree shower gel - love this stuff, but prefer to use it in the Summer!

    Vaseline Sheer Infusion body lotion (vitamin burst) - will buy this again when I'm out of body things, it smells lovely and does the job!

    I love the lovely Gok stuff too. I was a bit :eek: :( this morning when OH gave me some cherry liquorice, a moneybox and a book of brainteasers for Valentines :think: I was fully expecting him to 'suprise' me with my big gold Gok set from the 75% sale ..... well, I guess he did 'suprise' me :rotfl::wall:

    I've treated myself for Valentine's Day as nobody else was going to:p I've ordered 3 oils from https://www.perfume-parlour.co.uk. I've gone for Vera Wang Princess, Beautiful and Cabotine (which I've never smelt but am going on recommendations).

    I ought to get my bum on the naughty step but I don't care! I'm worth it :D

    I used money from my Paypal account earned last week selling unwanted bits on Ebay, so I didn't even have to open my purse :rotfl:

    Will add £7 to my sig though.
  • No UUs or INs for me today (well apart from dry shampoo but I'm running out of that so because it's a 'need' rather than a 'want' it doesn't count in my book), but I have decided that tonight I am throwing away the Elemis bath oil which I have had for six years (I know, I know - PRCP in action!) because it smells a bit rank. So whilst it's not really a UU it is an OUT, and I won't buy it again because I barely used it so it's not worth it for me, although I'm sure it was much nicer when it was fresh. I'm going to have guilt throwing it out because it was part of my present when I was my sister's bridesmaid, but sometimes these things have to be done...

    Well I've got 2 OUTS and 1 UU to report:

    Outs are Korres and Rimmel Volume max mascaras. The Korres one is my HG but sadly discontinued!

    UU is Clarins Refining Mask. It was a GWP size and worked well but I can't stand the overly floral scents that Clarins products have!

  • Hello all,
    Just bobbing in to report a UU- Simple Kind to Skin Hydrating Light Moisturiser. WIBA? It was ok, nothing fabulous and I've got some Lloyds Your Organics to crack on with now. Might buy again in the future but I'm bored with it at the moment.
    No INs for me so far this month! YAY!!!

  • Another UU for me - it was a Lush Karma bath melt -WNBA as although I love the smell, everything and I mean everything is covered in gold glitter:eek: Even the Alberto shampoo that I'm using as a bathroom cleaner is struggling to remove it:eek::eek:

    I've also got a Nick Lowe Redness relief correcting cream that has started stinging when I apply to my face so....................in the bin it goes.

    Off to update my sig now:) (and google to see if I can find an alternate use for eye make-up remover :p)

    By the way - I've been poking around in my stash and have come across a tube of Time Delay radiance booster - what on earth is it and how do I use it? (I think I acquired this some time last year:o)
    :naughty: Save money on toiletries: no new/duplicate items until I've used up all existing supplies
  • 3 in's to report.

    :jI've almost finished catching up and am making a list of products to try (hopefully some time next year:eek:) when I've used up the current stash.

    Tara I spoke to my dentist briefly about teeth bleaching when I lived abroad. I decided not to have it done as she mentioned it can cause/worsen sensitivity and my teeth are already sensitive. She also said it does not correct any variation in the shades of teeth as it will whiten all the teeth by the same number of shades.

    .

    I probably shouldn't say/ask::o

    That's an impressive list Rosemary:eek::T enjoy using all your products.

    What is the JL GWP offer? Seven GWP items seems bargainous.:T

    What are Clarins points? Should I have collected them when I bought Clarins in Boots and Debs?
