VALM - you're whizzing through UUs at a rate of knots :T
If you ever have a powder break again you can reset it. I've not needed to try it yet but you mush the powder up with a little rubbing alcohol and mash it back into the compact and it will reset! There are lots of tutorials online to show you how
Trudij - I was wondering how your skin was and I'm very pleased to hear that it's behaving better :beer: I'm glad that you were able to use gentle products and didn't have to resort to using heavy duty stuff
I hope that you have a wonderful day out :j 0 -
An IN today, Garnier Minerals spray on deodrant, my roll on was almost run out so a needed IN.Debt free and busy treating myself:)

Two uu's, these had been spluttering for ages so really pleased to finally finish them.

thanks willowbee - im so happy that they seem to have come under control, its really unusual for me to get so many, but every so often my skin has a bit of a grease period and goes mental.(usually when im going somewhere that i want to look half human!)

Avon skin so soft shower gel - WBA I did notice my elbows were not as dry using this.

I've been MIA for about 6 weeks as I had nothing to report.
I'm delighted to say though I have one UU today - Loreal Sublime Bronze Facial Tanner - WBA definitely as I've used it for years and nobody has cottoned on the fact it is fake:)
I also had a GA - L'Occitane lavendar hand wash - gave it to my mum as I really don't like it - she was happy though so a win all round.
I need to restock my moisturiser stash soon so there will certainly be some "ins" coming soon!
What a dirty rotten fibber I am - just remembered I have an IN - Trilogy Rosehip oil which I picked up as I'd used it before anf thought it "might" have helped my crows feet. Now I know I'm, in denial when I "forget" buying things!NO FARMS = NO FOOD0 -
I have a UU to report Palmers Cocoa Butter 5ml sample. Not really enough to decide if I WBA or not liked the smell, but not sure I want to smell like that.0
