    2 UU, both free samples not really impressed with either of them, so the remaining sachets will be added to the GA pile.

    UU Loreal Youth Code luminize Serum 1 sachet
    UU Nivea Pure & Natural Moisturiser 1.5ml sachet

    I think the body butter I opened last night will be added to the GA pile as its just way too perfumed for me.

    Oh my goodness! Another IN that I forgot about - I bought the YOU magazine anti-ageing box. I've had a complete meltdown this week :eek: (It hasn't arrived yet but I had totally forgotten that I ordered it - I blame the brainfog)

    On a happier note, I also love the Garnier Essentials 2-in-1 make up remover. I'm almost at the end of my first bottle & was so impressed that I have two more 'in stock'. I mainly use it as an eye make-up remover - it's so gentle and effective and as it is 150ml it lasts ages. It's brill :T AND super-cheap (mine was on offer so worked out at £1.50 a bottle.) It may even be my HG eye make-up remover. It's also useful for low-energy days in the same way as face wipes are, but it's much better for my sensitive skin :D

    I wonder if anyone on here can help me- I am looking for an amazing red lip gloss. I want something fairly sheer, but with a nice slick of colour too. I have dark hair and fair skin and should suit red lippy but I struggle to find the right shade. Happy to splash out a bit for a lovely one.

    I love Chanel lip gloss and I use Bubble Gum which is a stunning red shade. When I have it on a frequently get stopped and asked what I am using. Also is isn't "sticky" and it lasts. It is pricey but I find it to be a superior gloss.

    Some used ups to make up for all my ins:

    29. Weleda Pomegranate Regenerating Body Oil (100ml) - WBA as I love this. Smells lovely and sinks in quickly. Less energy needed that most body lotions. (I have three more to enjoy, all bought cheap on eBay :))
    30. Aveda Smooth Infusion Shampoo (10ml) - WNBA as it made my hair frizzy!
    31. Aveda Smooth Infusion Conditioner (10ml) - WNBA

    Oh no! :eek:

    Scrappie - I wasn't sure if I should mention the sale here! Totally my fault if you cave in :o I was soooooo tempted by the masks and the prices are very good but I realised I have a pile of masks...(Mind you, I have a pile of moisturisers and I still bought the matt lotion :o) Very excited about my 50ml salon size rose oil though - it will last me ages, in a nice way :-)
  • hiya everyone!

    UU's:

    Max factor exilir foundation - Not too bad, I may invest in this after I finish my other foundations

    Estee Lauder resilience lift sample - very nice sample, but not sure if I would spend that kind of money on this

    Chanel - vitalumiere aqua sample - I needed something with a bit more coverage, but overall a great product. A shame Chanel is so expensive

    Cle de peau la creme sample - ok way too expensive, WNBA ever ever ever haha I could buy a good handbag with that kind of money lol but it is a very moisturizing face cream
