Fortunately lidl dentalux was on his list and only 49p -very OS)

    I have a UU Bamford Geranium BodyLotion with Lavender and Peppermint 50ml definitely WBA lovely lotion rubbed in well very moisturizing and lovely smell.

    After throwing away the horrid Quickies Eye Makeup remover pads, I tried the Clinique Take off the Day Eye Makeup remover from my stash, all I can say is wow, it removed everything and was gentle on the eye as well.

    Sorry haven't needed to use the Simple eye Makeup corrector pen as yet.

    2 GA - my Gum & L'Oreal Mousse. I haven't used mousse in 18 months and can't see me going back to it as it doesn't give my style enough hold.

    I had the evening primrose shampoo as well KM, I am dying to try it but have so many open shampoo bottles! Some are spluttering though, so will be washing my hair everyday for a bit ;)

    (I have waist length hair and no shower, I tend to be lazy with the washing)

    I have a uu : Elemis tranquil touch bath/shower - I got this as part of a TSV before Christmas. It has an unusual scent, slightly 'herby' slightly clinical IYKWIM. It did the job and lathered up well but I wnba as there are definitely much nicer available for a lot less money.

    hugs to those that need them

    happy pampering, x

    This might give some of you QVC fans a laugh. For a while I've been reading posts about Laura Geller "spackle" and I've thought, surely they mean "sparkle" and there has been a spelling malfunction? When I saw the same thing repeated on posts by several different posters, all of whom I've noted have good spelling and grammar, I googled it and found that it is indeed called spackle. Oops. It looks rather good actually, but resisted buying it!

    Spackle's just the american word for polyfilla really, Bill Bryson does quite a humerous peice on it in one of his books (goes back to live in the US after spending his adult life in the UK), tries to go to a hardware store, gets very lost and confused!

    I've got a UU (and also an IN, oops).

    The UU is Palmolive thermal spa Turkish bath shower gel. It's pale green and smells fab, really spa-like. Makes the bathroom really fragrant although the listed ingredients (poppy seeds and eucalyptus) would suggest otherwise. WBA. It's sometimes in pound shops, recommended.

    The IN is Aldi Lacura serum. I was in Aldi buying wine (also recommended) and succumbed. It was a cheap thrill for £3.99. Haven't tried it yet, actually not sure what serums are supposed to do. I hope I'm not backsliding!
