A UU to report - Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Lotion. Was GWP and I would use it again if free with purchase but probably only in Summer when my skin's not so dry.

I love DDML, it is one of the few things I can safely use if I get an allergy breakout on my face. I am not using it at the moment, but have used gallons over the years, I have dry skin and always used it rather as we now use serums, and wore a moisturiser with an SPF on top.

One UU and some ins..

The UU was Palmolive olive shower cream. It's lovely and can usually be got for £1 somewhere. What's not to like? WBA. Finished it after running 6 mile cross country race this morning. I should have stayed in and had the scotch pancakes!

The INs were a set of BS Shea butter shower cream, soap, scrub and body butter from DH as a valentine's present. I really like this stuff but did find it funny because it's he who regularly points out how many toiletries I have! I was quite relaxed because I really feel like I'm making progress now.

I was interested to read about some of our contributors who are out of the habit of using make up. I can never get out of that habit because I have 10 tons of it to use up (only a slight exaggeration) but I wear it to work because it makes me feel a bit more polished and 'on', if you follow me. I still think that women are judged on their appearance more than they should be.

I found I wore make up more often when I had perfected a very quick routine. Concealer or quick touch of light foundation, eyebrow pencil, Benefit Lemon Aid, mascara, slick of lipgloss and on pasty days a weeny bit of blusher, all done in a very few minutes as I am always late, much to the annoyance of my OH!

Maddie, im another vote for a quick make up routine. I to have lots to use up but always ended up putting it on on the train or tube on my way to work when I lived in london... now I put it on in the car when OH drops me to work lol. Ever late! I did get excited this week when I noticed I can see the silver base starting to come through on my jerome alexander magic minerals powder!!! I am desperate to use it up as its crap! (I only use it over my foundation)

Another UU for me woohoo and still 0 in! Todays use up with a sure roll on deo - I would buy again but I have another 2 in use at the moment to use up before I get any more lol.

R.e. make-up. I'd love to be able to wear make-up everyday but I'm lucky if I have the energy to get dressed most days.

I'm really sorry.

Ach im fine.....had a good cry! In fact, im probably not quite finished yet LOL! I just hate the fact i wasn't there....my first guinea pig died in my arms when she was 8,it was horrendous, but i was there, which was oddly comforting. I just don't want the other one to get lonely!

Itzybitzy sorry about the guinea pig.

The makeup thing is a time and energy thing with me just don't seem to have enough of either to wear it everyday. Looks like I may need it tomorrow though seem to have a bit of a rash thinking it may have been the Garnier BB cream as it smelt very highly perfumed. Hopefully it will go down over night.
