  • I've already logged these as In's in November but just quick quality check report:

    Original Source Black Cherry & Almond showergel - awesome, much more black cherry than almond and a little bit spicy. Am loving this.

    Vaseline new body lotion - cocoa butter - OMG this is aces, smells like chocolate and coconut and is leaving my skin vvvvv soft. Am amazed how good it is for the price, not sticky at all, lovely and nourishing.

    Well, I saw Bon Jovi earlier this year so I can't talk! Would love to see Bryan Adams too!

    That Black Cherry and Almond Shower Gel sounds amazing. *must not buy*

    INs today: Lush Centenary soap (limited edition rose soap - smells amazing!)

    OUTs: Lush Melting Snowman Bath Melt. WBA - smelled amazing and very moisturising.

    Lush Potion Body Lotion. WBA - again, fab smell and very moisturising.

    Dove Hair Therapy Conditioner. Might buy again - it was okay but not amazing.

    I have 4 UU's to report!

    Lush Creamed Almond and Coconut Smoothie - WBA, because it smells so gorgeous, but I think it's discontinued now.

    Lush Jungle Shower Jelly - WNBA, it did amazing things to my skin but the scent was so overpowering in the end.

    Missha Cleansing Oil - WBA, it was cheap and did the job but its a bit hard to get hold of.

    Korres Guava Body Butter sachet - WBA, smells gorgeous and left my skin velvety smooth. May have to invest in some of this when I've finished the other body butters I have!

    1 IN to report: Mac Cleanse off Oil - just to replace my Missha one. It's probably my HG makeup remover.

    Happy birthday! :D

    To be fair, birthday stuff doesn't count - unless you have told simply every person you know to go and buy you lots of lovely smellies. ;) We all get some: I didn't ask for anything and got a nice perfume set with shower gel and moisturiser. (I think toiletries are just one of those gifts that people get you when they know it's something you love, or haven't got a clue what else to get you! ;) ). Enjoy without guilt, and remember it's a great bolster to your addiction without actually having to sit on the naughty step! :rotfl:

  • Happy birthday xoxo and lady M.

    Trudij, this is quite spooky but today my mum also gave me a pot of sanctuary body souffle! Are they ringing each other up to co-ordinate their toiletry donation activities, do you think?

    My mum's rationale was that she had to give it away because otherwise she'd leave it in the bathroom for 5 years then discover that it had gone off. Hmmmm, like mother like daughter I suspect!

    :bdaycake: Happy Birthday XOXO & LM!

    I have two UUs to report.

    No7 P & P hand cream. Which was really nice to use - lovely consistancy but didn't feel it reveals "younger looking hands". Got this as a GWP and have another two in my stash pile. So WNBA but would get as a GWP or free.

    Nivea face wipes - I have a stash of these and they are great for my can't be bothered night time routine.

    £2 to be put into my new SPC tin.

    I don't know what the weather is like where you are but it is snowing quite heavily here. I am a backshift tonight so fingers crossed I get the go ahead to work from home :j Really don't fancy the journey into work or even more so the journey back from work tonight :(

    It's cold here! 8degrees according to the computer. It's sunny though so feels warmer IYSWIM? I'm about to put down the lappy and pick up the knitting. At least that keeps my lap warm :)
