    Rosemary its Dark wet and miserable here, and I was actually starting to believe that the weather was improving.
  • Rain here too :( and I have to go out later because I forgot to bring my lunch with me. Hope it brightens up. Will try to stay away from magazine shop - though might look at the nail varnish freebie if I do pop in...

    UU Baylis & Harding shower gel this morning. Part of a gift set & WNBA as really nothing special. Looking forward to opening something new tomorrow.

    Hugs to trudji and all who need it

    Lavera Basis Sensitive All Round Cream (150ml, full size) - I'm excited about this as I love the handcream in the same range but I'm not opening it until I have a few more UUs

    Terre D'Oc Lipgloss in Shade 305 (Grenade Benoa, a pretty rose colour. I will review this once I've used it a few times).

    Nourishing Night Treatment Face Oil by AD Skin Synergy (5ml sample in a useful pump)
    - I'm really pleased to try this as I love facial oils. (I think this was available on the Latest In Beauty site but I missed out on it)

    Tous H2O perfume (a fiddly little sample vial) - smells quite nice and for a good cause (Oxfam) but nothing special to my nose :rotfl:

    So, a thumbs up from me and I'll report back on what the oil and the lipgloss are like :) (All being well it will be ages before I try the Lavera cream as it is in date until 2014. I'm very curious though so I might open it tomorrow :rotfl:Somebody stop me!! :eek:)

    ins as per willowbee. i got shade 304 in the lipgloss, looks like a scary brown but its a nice soft caramel colour when its on. my cream is also in the stash because its sealed.

    anything properly sealed is just joining the back of the queue. thankfully that queue is getting smaller now though :j just full of full sizes after two more travel ones! :eek:

    UUs to report: sample size Ralph Lauren, True Romance. WIB? No. It's an ok sweet smelling perfume but nothing to shout about.

    Anhydrol forte: Extreme deodorant which you apply overnight and wash off in the morning, which stops you sweating. WIBA? Yes, I have it has been great and has probably saved me money as I don't need to buy as much bodysprays.

    Ins to report: Aargh, some smooth talking salesman convinced me to buy some type of magic buffer for your nails which you use a rough side, smooth side and a wiper on your nails and it leaves a coat on your nails which makes it look like you've applied clear nail polish. Apparently it lasts four weeks without re-application and you can get a free replacement pack of the nail buffer once it stops working. I bought it for £25 quid and it came with a cuticle nail oil and a hand cream which I only use for my feet as it has petroleum in it. The brand is called Gadi.

    Itzybitzy - I hope that the rain stops before you have to walk to the Docs :o

    I haven't opened the Elemis Pro-Collagen Body Cream yet so I'm quite surprised to hear that it's glittery! :eek:

    Evilsquid - well done for only have a couple of body lotions in the queue :T I'll be interested to know what you make of the Lavera cream as it's going to be ages before it gets to the front of my queue! :rotfl:

    Ah. The rain has just started here...At least my Mum is happy that the garden is being watered :rotfl:

    I had 2 UU's last night! My no7 blissful body wash and the FCUK men's body wash. Both replaced from stash. WIBA?: yes to the FCUK one but maybe not the blissful body wash. I love it but it is so expensive now, I know I can get cheaper nice brands so will start looking around elsewhere. I will eke out what's left of my stash of these :)

    I got 304 too and wasn't even gonna bother opening it because of the shade but I just tried it and er well it looks hideous on me :eek: Reminds me of buffy the vampie slayer, so nineties, just need a nice crucifix choker to go with it now :rotfl:
    Oh well, the texture and shine are nice.

    Lush Superstars Bubble Bar: WIBA? Maybe in the post-Christmas sales. Smelt lovely. Once I've finished my stash of bubble bars, going to try and be stricter with not replacing and using shower gel instead!

    INs
    The 4 bits from the Amarya box. I'm too tired to type them :o The lipgloss I got was 308 by the way.
    Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Eyeshadow Palette - almost forgot to declare this. It's not needed (at all), but it's limited edition, and was upset when last years sold out and I didn't get it as I loved the colours. I have to say, love the colours in this even more. It's £35 - but I used the free £5 on the Deb Beauty Club card (so I guess you can use it on anything!!) and had £12.xx on a gift card, so it only cost me £17.xx - very happy with that price!!

    Hugs to anybody who needs or wants one including trudij and tokkiandoliver.

    Rosemary, I'm glad that most of the flowers sold :)
