welcome back hanval - how is it all going over there?
One UU today - Auzzie Miracle 3 minute miracle intensive conditioner. WIBA? probably - though if im brutally honest, I dont know that it does anything different to if I just leave my normal conditioner on for 3/4 minutes - certainally when ive tried it before i havent noticed much difference!!!Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
just remembered two more uu's!
elemis pro-radiance cream cleanser - this was from a tsv before christmas, it is lovely to use and was effective, although I did find I had to use a separate eye make up remover as it didn't get all my mascara off. Lovely as it is I probably won't buy it again
clinique comforting cream cleanser, another cleanser which was a pleasure to use, this one did seem to do a better job at taking my eye make up off, wmba at some point0 -
Dippykitty, I also have quite spotty skin on my shoulders and sometimes chest area, and weirdly my legs sometimes (but mainly after waxing) I have just bought no7 microdermabrasion scrub for face and also the one for body. I have yet to try the body one, but the facial one is really good. I will let you know when I try the body scrub, got it for £5.50 with the no7 voucher xx
Ooh thank youHope it's good - really want to find something that at least makes them a bit less obvious!

One more UU I think this will be my last one of the month.
UU - No.7 Lift & Luminate Night Cream 10ml WMBA it was really Moisturising, but don't think its a HG. Starting to run low on actual night cream, I have one mini already packed for Holiday and one other mini still in the stash. I do have loads of day creams though, so will soon need to find a suitable one to use at night. I have found that my skin prefers a proper night cream at night though.0 -

Well done on all of your OUTs :T:T
I finally managed to make it to the PO sorting office to get two packages that have been held hostage for a week. Got my buzz agent campaign and my HG Tigi Hard to Get Texture Paste. This has been discontinued so I am really chuffed at finding this.
I am off for a wee break next week to Cumbria and I have already packed my mini toiletries for it.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
Amyb I've found some OS Tea Tree Shampoo for you - in Boyes, a North of England dept. store chain - but it's travel sized. I would be happy to pop a couple of bottles in the post for you.
Its being available in travel size in Boyes means that other stores may well have it too. It may be worth looking if you can bear looking again!Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
UU - Simple Pore Minimising Cleansing Toner.
WIBA? No. Really didn't like it. My skin is very spot-prone and every time I used this, I got spots even at times when my skin had previously been fine for a bit so not one for me I'm afraid! Have another unopened one in the stash though as there were offloaded onto me by my Mum who bought them by mistake!ISA savings: £25,139 Other Savings: £1750 (tied up in bond)0 -
had alovely weekend away for DHs birthday at a spa hotel:):),we both had a mini facial and I had a mud wrap and he had a massage...so relaxing:):):):)we also got a £30 espa voucher as part of the package but when I came to spend it the therapist said it was for online only:(as I had already chosen two shower gels I bought them anyway as there was an offer of a freebie which had in fact finished but I managed to get the display pack even tho 1 item was missing so some small creams for me:)i will use the voucher only when they have the same offer which is due soon .
