  • One UU - pulp friction boy scrub. I'm never gonna buy S & G again!

    That was supposed to be body scrub!

    I use Girl Meets Pearl if I feel my skin needs a pick me up. I thought it was only a highlighter though rather than foundation.

    Yes you are right VALM, I suppose it is more of a highlighter but would it blend ok on top of foundation? I am going to buy it tomorrow and try and maximise all my Boots points vouchers as well.

    UU Garnier Simply Essentials Eye Make Up remover, this is my HG as I've found quite a few others irritate my eyes.

    UU Sanctuary foaming bath soak wnba as I have got a bit bored with Sanctuary products.

    Was amazed to find I have no more bath products in stash (only a couple of showergels)

    Another UU after my shower this morning, at last a 300ml S&G body butter. So glad to see the back of this. I am truly sick of the smell! Using a clean on me shower gel just now, and once it's gone, I can't imagine I'll be purchasing any more soap and glory. I still like their deodorant, the smell isn't quite so sickly. I might just bin the hand food in the stash!

    As I've said before, life is too short to use toiletries you don't like!!

    A few UU to declare:

    Avon Lotus Shield Frizz Ease - WBA, I like this stuff, it works well on my very curly hair
    L'Occitane Plum Blossom Shower Gel - not sure if I WBA. I wasnt keen on the 'bits' in it.
    L'Occitane Almond Oil - WBA, definately. I love this stuff, its my HG for shaving...absolutely fab!!
    AVEDA Damage Remedy - WBA, again this is lovely stuff. But possibly a bit on the expensive side. Also, I have tons of conditioner lol.

    I think I will manage to get through quite a few products in April. If I could get through a hand cream or two, I'd be very happy :D

    1 UU and 2 TAs:

    UU: Superdrug Natural High brightening eye cream: WNBA, didn't really do anything! Can anyone recommend a budget-friendly (under £10) eye cream? I'm only 23 but I have under eye wrinkles already. :( I know nothing will actually stop wrinkles but anything to make my eyes look better would be nice!

    TAs:

    No7 Pore Refining Serum: I've used most of this but it did absolutely nothing so I don't see any point in continuing using it and adding an extra layer to my skin!

    Botanics face soothing cleansing balm: just too greasy and this gave me spots each time I used it! Again, I have used most of it.

    I'm starting to have the same problem with soap & glory, all their stuff smells too much! I recently chucked a half-UU bottle of their hair supply mask as it wrecked my hair more than any product I've ever used, it made it almost impossible to brush! Unfortunately people buy me S&G as presents :(. The body sprays are ok though.

    Ive just this evening got my first UU! Hooray :D. Husband is away tonight so after little one put to bed and my evening studying was done, I treated myself to a little pamper sesh. Long hot bubble bath, face mask, hair wash & hair mask used, wobbly bits buffed to within an inch of their lives, finger and toe nails painted. The first time I've done this since before our daughter was born so its been at least 18 months. :cool:

    My UU was a sachet of Montague Jeunesse's Red Hot Earth sauna masque (I get a lot of these as presents). Easy to apply, not so easy to wash off and left a bit of a sticky residue. Skin felt ok but not the 'deep pore cleanse' they promised, and within half an hour of washing it off my face felt very dry so had to apply a thick layer of moisturiser.
