UU Palmers cocoa butter unfragranced WNBA love the moisturising factor of this but missed the smell of cocoa butter. Onto a body butter one of many!
UU no7 eye makeup remover WBA but am trying out the boots botanics one which is just as good and cheaper!
UU Mitchum deo onto another from the stash.0 -
2 UUs:
Skin79 super+ BB mini WNBA bad colour/texture for me
Decleor Peel mini size WNBA didn't do that much for the price
I had planned to go for a consultation with my Mum's hairdresser while I was visiting but I just can't bring myself to do it. The way some people are about dentists is how I am with my hair. I badly need to get it done before I start my new job, it looks perfectly nice as it is but it's long and beachy and just doesn't look professional at all.Living cheap in central London :rotfl:0 -

RENU Radiant Skin Peel, 5ml - WNBA, is this just the same brand as MONU? Smells the same and looks the same! Lovely on the skin though, im not sure it really did anything!
Loccitane Divine Cream, 3ml - WBA, not going to lie, this was fantastic and im gutted it is finished! Just as good as the Sisleya
Green People Eye Gel, 10ml - WBA, so cheap and so good. Has really helped my tired dark circles under my eyesI know most of you ladies don't believe eye gels and creams work, this is the exception

I hear good reports of Clean Skin perfume. Just as well for us that it doesn't seem to be easily available!
I might have one cheek on the naughty step because I was only a bit naughty. My mum had an Avon brochure through the door and said she'd get me something from it (lovely mum) so I picked a resurfacing serum called renewal or something. I'm a bit sceptical about most miracle skin treatments but I think AHA stuff, which this seems to be a variant on, is worth using. I know that some of you ladies are involved with Avon, did I make a good choice?
Resisted the smorgasbord of lovely Avon shower gels with a supreme effort of will. Was buoyed up in my resolve by having walked through the Debo's beauty hall in the Trafford centre on Saturday with barely a backward glance. Although I did stop to spray a Guerlain perfume called Jicky, which is apparently one of their oldest. Well, this bottle might have been sitting there since 1924 because, and I am not making this up, it smelled a bit like poo. I checked with my sister and she agreed. So don't think I'll be having trouble resisting this one!
BTW skintscotslass, I was intrigued by the brightening hand cream. I'd quite like self-illuminating hands, would save a fortune on leccy, so do let us know if it works!!0 -
One OUT and two INs for me this weekend:
OUT - Lush Vanishing Cream moisturiser. WBA as it was nicely moisturising, rich but not too heavy and smelt pretty good.
INs - MAC Lipstick in Ruby Woo and MAC Lip Pencil in Cherry. I've been after a proper red lipstick for ages and have finally taken the plunge with these two, as part of updating/changing my look and trying to appear a bit more mature and at least semi-glamorous. It was a bit of a shock to the system at first but after a day walking round Westfield with it on I actually kind of liked it, so I will get the use out of it."A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0
