  • One UU an Elemis pro-collagen oxygenating night cream. That's my last night cream I think (will check the stash again later). I'm going to try using some of my body butters as night cream now, hopefully that won't upset my skin and I can work my way through the backlog a bit faster. If that doesn't work I would by Elemis again, but now I have the choice I might just look around and get some samples to see if anything better is on the market.

    Some UUs from my bath earlier:

    Superdrug Vitamin E Facial Scrub - WIBA? - Yes. :) I only had a small travel size though and ended up cutting the bottom of the tube so I could get it all out. It left my skin feeling very clean and it looked bright so would definitely buy again but I have so many facial scrubs/washes so won't be buying anymore for a while.:o

    Imperial Leather Soft Touch Moisturising Bath Cream with Jojaba Milk & Vitamin E - WIBA? - No. It really didn't create a good lather and you had to use alot of it.

    Nair Ultra Hair Removal Cream - WIBA? - Yes. I think I've finally mastered hair removal cream.:rotfl: It was easy to remove and managed to get rid of most of the hair, which is better than my previous attempts with it.:rotfl: I still have a glide-on hair removal cream to use up.

    Iden Bee Propolis Treatment Sachet - WIBA? - My SIL gave this to me as she got it free from a Hair and Beauty trip she went on. It was okay but the smell wasn't great so I probably wouldn't invest in a larger amount of it. I'm not sure how it made my hair as I spritzed some leave-in conditioner on my hair before I blowdried it to get rid of the smell.

    A uu from my bath, Hair dye which I dont count as I just buy it for when I fancy a change, and a SAnctuary SLeep bath soak. Made a nice bubbly bath, made a difference from other relaxing bath thingies as it isnt lavendery, but I dont feel anymore sleepy or relaxed.

    Off to see the doctor tomorrow to beg for my tablets to be changed, I hate being awake (but no use to anymore) most of the night, then asleep as much of the day as I can get away with.

    I always wear make-up to work but I do struggle to get it on when I'm not working. My trouble is, I go to bed at about 9am and have to pick DD up at 3pm. I can be there to collect her on time if I get up at 2.50 but if I need to stop and put on make-up I have no chance. Quite often I will wake up very shaky and even getting dressed is difficult so no chance of make-up! Sleep wins over in this case :o.

    Sorry to hear about your guinea pig itzybitzy.

    After my shower today I have decided that I am not a fan of body butters. I am currently halfway through a tub and have another one in my stash. It just feels too heavy on the skin on my upper body so I will now only use it on my legs. I only have a body oil and two travel size body lotions left now....:D I never thought I would be saying that.
