I have a UU or rather a TA

I had been using Lush Eye cream as a facial night cream to use it up for the last few days. It seemed to smell a bit funny but i dismissed it based on the fact that it probably smelt always like the and as I was always using it on my eyes, I never noticed it. But it seems it has gone bad as it has caused me to breakout. It was definitly more than two years old so pretty ancient.

I have also stopped using Lush Babyface as that could also be the reason of the breakout but haven't binned it as it suits DH. He uses it for shaving as he can't use shaving gels (even sensitive ones)

Oh mi, oh my!

I've listed a few Body Shop items on Ebay during the dying hours of the free listings weekend when I realised there's not a cat in hell's chance of my using them up before they go off, and I had a rummage in my Small Drawer as a result. It seems I've got full-sized Breakfast Scrubs, Flake Aways and Righteous Butters to use up, as well as their minis! :eek: HOW long will that take! :eek: :eek:

I've also got Clean Mary and Scrub Your Nose In It as well. Damn you, Soap & Glory pink boxes from last year. I'll be here all this one using this lot up. *shakes fist at the S&G gods*

OUT OUT OUT

Palmers Cocoa Butter Tummy Butter - Sample

Have woken up to a very angry and itchy rash on my tummy and waist

Only Palmers product which has affected my skin! Although, looking online, it seems to be quite a common occurance!

oh don't say Boudoir Prive/Joliebox aint good LOL - i went with them on the basis of that OPI nail polish.....i might regret that haha

Amarya i am very much looking forward to . Pity I missed out on the REN stuff

I will also keep up the Latest in Beauty stuff as the £1 box is a really good idea and pretty easy to do just using your mobile. Will also order their Refresh and Recover Box when my bursery goes in on Wednesday as looking what is in it, although it is samples, their value adds up to £7 in no time!

I looked at that one but didn't think i would use it,i did buy the last 2 and the last one was good value tho not used any of the stuff yet.
am currently starving as waiting to go for fasting blood tests at 11.10

Pickle, I think I got the same set as you! I've got mini and normal sizes of S&G things that I'm thinking I'll not get through. I've gone off most S&G stuff too. :rotfl: I've looked on eBay and not sure it's worth listing them after the fees etc are taken. They don't seem to get much. Might save for car boot or just give away.

I can't WAIT for the day when I have just what I need, and maybe 1/2 spare items! I think that will be after I've retired though - many years yet!:rotfl:

Forgot to declare a UU
S&G Best Scrub in the World
It was refusing to die, so I used it on my face and then used the rest as a hand scrub!

WNBA
I prefer Lush 'Angels on Bare Skin' scrub. Plus I was beginning to find the smell offputting. (I'm finding all S&G items smelling strongly these days. My nose must be getting sensitive!)

So there is a Clinique Mascara Swap? Just take in an empty mascara and they give you a new one?

Evilsquid I use shower gel as bubble bath too And then I smell lovely

I also react ridiculously to Clinique toner and some of their moisturisers, and my skin isn't even that sensitive!

Why is it that some products never seem to come to an end... and it's usually the ones that you don't really like?! :mad:
Also does anyone despise body moisturising in the winter as much as I do??? I can't bear the coldness while waiting for it to soak in.

That's how I feel. It makes me so slack at UU body lotions though, and I do have so many I think I should group products by type rather than area od body iykwim? So all body lotions separate rather then drowning with the shower gels

I'm quite proud of myself for resisting the beauty boxes so far, though I really would like to subscribe to one, I spent enough in the sales and so I've really got to save the next couple of months. Is it true that some beauty bloggers get different, more expensive, items to the general population with some of the boxes?

Hi Sawan :hello: I always loved your lovely nailpolish pics. A blog sounds like a great idea, do you have a link to it? I'm trying very hard not to buy anymore as I had to buy a toolbox:eek: to keep them all in, the daft thing is that during work I'm not allowed to wear nail varnish so unless I paint my toenails a different colour every day I'm never going to get through it all.

It's here

Mad_Scientist I hate when the computer eats my posts :mad: Especially when it's a long one!

Rosemary I hope you're ok *hugs*

Work is a bit quiet today Hopefully will get a bit busier later!
