    Have a few uu to post, so here goes:

    OS chocolate and mint shower melt, nice product, smelt like after eights, more of a winter product though.

    Avon anew clinical luminosity, mini pot, wnba, doesn't really do anything imo.

    Miss Cole Bed and Butter (strange name, should be the other way around surely?) nice and moisturising but a strange smell.

    Benefit facial emulsion, the grazia sample, used all but the last bit, wnba, was not moisturising enough on its own so I used over sanctuary facial oil.

    S&G off your face wipes, wnba, no better than own brand ones which are much cheaper.

    Oh LM ...huge sympathies, I got this when my children were small. I can remember staring at the doc in disbelief when he said there was nothing he could do, I would just have to wait for it to subside. :eek:

    I think it took about a month. The good news is that this was about 25 years ago and it has never reappeared. My rash was mostly on my trunk, I seem to recall.
    The itch is dreadful isn't it? :( It's so long ago that I'm afraid I can't recall if anything helped. Hugs.

    The itching is excruciating! :(
    Apparently my case isn't typical because mine started on my legs but it's increasing to my bikini line :eek: and all my skin is really itchy!
    I tried calamine lotion and that didn't help one bit!

    Hi Ladies,

    I just wanted to warn everyone to be careful at home as well. Sister1 came over with daughters while BIL and nephew were out, only over for half an hour and lives a few doors away, went home and had been burgled :( Seems like they disturbed them. Really lucky as they must have left on hearing the door as the little one went up as soon as they got home to brush her teeth. Everything was everywhere :( Family friend said two people on his street also burgled within the past week.

    IN
    Boots trial apricot lip balm

    UUs
    Mandara Spa Shower scrub: WIBA? No. It wasn't scrubby enough for me at all. Relieved it's UU. Going to move on to Mandara Spa Citrus Spice sugar scrub. It's in a tub so hoping that means it'll be 'scrubbier' iykwim :rotfl:
    Boots trial body cream: WIBA? It's just a normal Astral/Nivea type cream I think. So maybe if I wanted something 'plainer' for a change.

    :eek: Don't do it ladies..........Think about :money: money saving mantras. Do you need it?, will you use it?, can you afford it? etc....stay strong and go and rummage around your stash and find something really nice to use as a distraction.

    I have a freebie IN that I won on Facebook - a Models Own Lipstick. The colour isn't my usual daytime shades but it isn't hideous thankfully.

    Thank you Rosemary54 and Fiasco55, I did not succumb to temptation. I closed the page. Thank you again ladies.
    I will wait for the next offer.

    1 UU today:
    200ml HE soft and smooth conditioner, WIBA? Yes, I have 800ml in stock. Its probably my HG, but I did read some awful things about P&G and I feel bad about lining their pockets, I think i'll look for an alternative once i've used my stash. I am on to a 400ml HE beautiful ends conditioner.

    4 OUTS:
    1 Nails Inc. nail polish -ebay
    1 Lush bubble bar- swaps
    2 Lush shower jelly - swaps

    yay! xx
