    I have an unexpected UU! Nivea Visage sensitive cleansing wipes - these were the ones that were a freebie a while ago. WIBA? Yes, possibly, although I suspect they will never drop to a low enough price for me! they were perfectly good, a decent size and got *everything* off without scrubbing. Next to be opened will be one pack of the Tesco 21p ones from a while ago.

    My first ever trip to the naughty step beckons. I went to John Lewis to pick up some Alpha H stuff I needed (having not bought the recent QVC TSV because I lost my customer number). It turns out they have stopped selling it. What I should have done is leave, but what I actually did was look at the Elemis counter and a combination of 5 free travel sizes with each two purchases plus and additional JL 10% discount led to this debacle: :eek:

    1 full size try-enzyme facial wash (plus free full size toner)
    1 full size try-enzyme facial mask
    and travel sizes of;
    try-enzyme facial wash
    pro collagen serum
    bath elixir
    body scrub
    shower cream.

    My only defence is that I don't have any of these, and I didn't buy any moisturiser of any sort as I have at least a year's supply of that.

    this is Red - for anyone wondering who it is that I occasionally speak of !! (shes sulking and asleep in this pic - she usually looks much more awake!!!!)

    and just to keep it on topic, Im off for a bath and Im about to use my flake away - WIBA?? no - got an exfoliating glove and Im sure that will do a better job than any scrub.
    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup

    Red is gorgeous :happyhear

    nearly decided on some additions to my makeup collection. A mixture of stuff from ELF while they've got 20% off on. Some of it is needed, honest!
    :o

    Anyone got any recommendations of amazing stuff from there? Or awful stuff to avoid, I don't mind :p

    Red is beautiful Trudij.

    2 more UU for me. Joey Oil Blotting Face Powder and I WNBA. Went on like white chalk but I am glad to see the back of it. It was at least 6 years old.

    Also Elle Macpherson travel wipes pack. Quite liked these but there are cheaper brands out there.

    £4 into my pot.

    Oh wow @ Red! Lovely looking horse :D I like horses :)

    2 outs:
    2 small none descript hand soaps. I think they may have been a hotel liberation. I wouldn't liberate again because they didn't foam towards the miserable end of their lives. I'm now onto a liquid soap because I figure that they're ok to move even half full whereas soap would just get thrown away.

    Ahhh Trudi Red is just gorgeous! Fantastic colouring too - a chestnut with a bit of of bay trying to escape through the tail! :D

    Going to stick the hot water on in a moment for a soak in the bath later. I did intend to colour my hair today but never got around to it. Might try to do that tomorrow instead as we're out at a friends birthday bash tomorrow night.
