  • I have a UU and some GA:

    UU:
    Perfekt Skin Gel - I'm on the fence with this one. i don't really see what it did that other primers don't that makes it deserve the higher price.

    GA:
    Elemis melting cleansing gel - WNBA, awful stuff after what it did to my skin
    Bare Minerals Volumising Mascara (one full size and 2 minis) - WNBA i love the flawless definition one but this one is just awful. its so clumpy and does nothing.
  • 1 UU: Tesco Hot Straigtening Creme wnba it was decent but there are better products

    1 IN: Garnier Fructis Conditioner

    And, I think the £land one sounds promising, I'm just so worried about adding to my body lotion stash :o It's just that all the ones I have are part of a set.

    And just typing that I think I may have a huge S&G BB in the stash. How did I not think of that before?? (Denial??)

    VALM That's a great tip about using similar styles of scent together, thank you! :)

    Got the afternoon off from jury service. But because it was a complete afternoon I had to come to work :/

    Rosemary how annoying! Where was that, at the local adult education college? That happened to my watercolour course last year, but the difference they wanted us to pay was well over £50 each :eek:

    Adilade That's not something I've heard, but no argument there :p

    I resisted the Beauty Boxes last month, and was really tempted the this month, but I will resist again.

    I'm going to just tell you all now, I'm buying another foundation. My current liquid one hasn't yet finished, but all MyFace stuff is half price at the moment in MrBs, and I'd be stupid to not spend £6.50 now, and pay a lot more later. I'll declare once I've ordered & it's arrived though. Is it unnecessary when I don't have another liquid one in the stash? I have compact (Plus one backup) and the liquid one I'm currently using.

    I went to buy the Happy Hair last night, but MrBs didn't have any :( I really need to get something soon, otherwise I just know when I go to wash my hair my sister will have emptied my shampoo/conditioner & forgotten to tell me before I get in the shower or wet my hair :mad:

    Decided to use the empty S&G tin (the one with the apron) to put in £1 each time I have a UU. I have to start financing the eyeshadows & polishes somehow!!

    Welcome to those who have just joined us :)

    it was one of the local colleges that do adult education,i have tried 3 different ones to do languages but each was cancelled.I did do some french and spanish but only basic and now have forgottten most of it as not able to continue.
    Portuguese is a hard one to learn and I do not want to do it unless I can go to a class and have help from a teacher rather than an online course which I would probably give up on:(they are going to try and run it later in the year,trouble is classes are so expensive anyway:(

    Definitely need to spend some time on the naughty step today. :o A major IN!

    Urban Decay Naked 2 palette: I think I'm going to get a lot of use out of this, the colours suit me really well.

    I also bought a Real Techniques brush set in Boots but not sure if these count as they're not really something I can UU!

    My Max Factor foundation is proving to be a LHJ! I thought I'd nearly finished it 2 weeks ago but it's still going! The packaging is opaque so I can't see how much is left.

    I like the look of this one as well, but trying to be good especially after ordering a beauty box from amarya yesterday.
  • Couple more UU, Timoti golden hairlights shampoo and a brazen honey Lush face mask.
