    Some long overdue UUs and INs.

    UU
    Loreal Elvive Colour Protect Protecting Masque - WIBA? - Definitely. It left my hair feeling very smooth and soft and prolonged my hair colour. It smells lovely too!

    INs

    Superdrug Mango and Papaya Shower Gel - A Xmas pressie
    Superdrug Coconut and Shea Butter Shower Gel - A Xmas pressie

    I have a UU to report

    Lush ReHab shampoo - It was a LHJ. WIBA? May be yes, it was quite mild and took good care of my hair. Though will only buy it when I finish my current shampoo stash so not for a few years as Lush shampoos are always long haul jobs and I only wash my hair twice a week

  • I'm going to stop looking in cupboards. I have another in which was found lurking in a spare room with some other bit's n bob's I'd forgotten about. It's a set of 6 mini L'Occitance hand creams. They look pretty and I may give them to my friend - she's not having a great time at the moment and she spends lots of time outside so I'm sure her hands could use them.

    Fingers crossed I can have some UU's this weekend.:)

    Thanks for this asset. I am getting low on hand cream so will have a nosey at this mag? Are there choices of handcream or just one type?

    It's a voucher to take into the store, I haven't bought the magazine yet, trying to be strong! :D
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    I have just looked nail envy up on amazon is it the original or the matt version I should buy?

    Thanks Jarus xx

    Up to you! I am wearing matte at the minute, it still has a sheen to it, like I have buffed my nails. But until the special offer on QVC last beauty weekend I always wore Original.

    Has anyone tried the new Maybelline foundation which is supposed to be as light as air?

    I struggle with foundation as I have quite alot of large pores and was wondering if anyone had tried it and liked it?

    I don't like the feeling of heavy make-up so was thinking it might be good.

    I bought mine from a certain source that begins with e, for £7.99 including postage, still a few colours available - not that I am trying to enable you or anything;)

    I did like the purple shatter in the kit on QVC as well though. I'm not going to buy I think as I'm trying to be so good and only spend what I save from my UUs. We go away in August and I need to save hard for that. Thanks for the tip though.

    Try Nail envy instead of a and e tokki, Its my miracle product. I now get nail technicians ommenting on how strong my nails are, instead of having to get extensions.

    I use Nail Envy and also the Leighton Denny crystal nail file which I also think is helping to strengthen my nails.

    early start as Dh has his conference call at 7.30(8.30 europe time so he loses an hour every week plus I get woken at 6.30:mad:)plus he had to go to the company dinner last night(small portions high price food and business talk:()and didn,t get home till 12 then got into bed saying are you awake?(don't you hate that?and puts his cold body on me saying it's minus 6 out there.....yes that is why I went to bed at 10 as even with a fire I was cold!!!!)
    anyway I digress as usual:rotfl:started to use the Liz Earle polish/cloth thing today and was surprised as thought it would be like a face scrub,loved the minty smell tho but don't know I would choose to use a cloth every day and supposedly air dry it....what it this weather?sorry it's on the radiator!

    The eucalyptus fragrance of C&P is what I really miss. I used to find it so invigorating. If you intend to keep using C&P Rosemary it would be worth picking up more of the muslin cloths. I know No 7 sell them.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
