    Oh boy, I am glad I didn't buy this expensive cream then. I was really tempted to splurge on it.

    I got it in the Harrods Glossybox and was glad I hadn't paid full value for it. Perhaps it was just my skin but I really didn't see why the cream would be so expensive.

    Two more UU to declare

    Benefit The Porefessional 7.5ml WBA really makes my makeup go on better
    Impulse Romantic Spark 35ml WMBA but think I prefer other scent.

    Hi All,

    Hope everyone is well, hugs to those that need them. I've not declared anything for about a week so here goes:

    UU:

    L'Oreal Cashmere balm - always get more with hair colour, like it as leaves my hair soft and shiny

    Lush Sexy Peel - Quite like this, was longer lasting than most Lush soaps I've tried which disappear very quickly in my bathroom. Don't love enough to BA especially though

    Charles Worthington Results Heat Protection Spray - No discernible effect, would my hair be more damaged without it, hard to say! Always use a product of this type but nothing stands out about this one so WNBA

    L'Oreal Revitalift 10 Repair BB Cream sachet x 2 - Quite like this, although the medium shade it came in is probably a little too dark for my current winter-like ghostly pallor but better than others that were meant to be light! Might get some at some point, only if if was on offer though I suspect.

    Gucci by Gucci body lotion - Lovely scent, silly name! WBA

    Nivea Irresistibly Smooth Body Lotion sachet - Nice and light, always a fan of anything with shea butter - WBA (in theory of course as still tonnes of body lotions and butter to get through).

    Nivea Express Hydration Handcream - GA to my boss after a couple of uses, very strong smell (sea minerals apparently) and left my hands feeling oddly dry - quite similar to the L'Occitane Immortelle one that smells of cut grass - almost makes me feel hay feverish! WNBA

    Ted Baker Bodywear Bath Soak - think the slightly garish packaging had put me off using this, was an original stash item, but it was really nice. WBA

    TBS Satsuma Body Polish - Lovely stuff, really zesty and effective too, WBA

    Lush Honey I washed the Kids - really nice but barely lasted a week, WNBA

    St Tropez Self Tan Mousse - WBA - expensive but definitely my go-to HG self tan

    And of course I've not been all that angelic, the IN are as follows:

    Nivea Express Hydration hand cream 100ml - which quickly became a GA

    Avon Planet Spa African Shea Butter handcream 75ml - a colleague at work gave me this as I was so dismayed at the Nivea one which was jolly nice of her and its lovely, smells a bit like porridge!

    St Tropez Self Tan Mousse 120ml - to replace the bottle I'd just finished, on offer in Boots at the min which is pretty much unheard of so was happy about that - toyed with getting the bigger bottle but I don't use it that much, only for big nights out so decided not to bother.

    And of course I was doing fairly well there but I couldn't resist the REN offer you naughty ladies put me onto so have also:

    REN samples x 4

    REN Six of the Best

    Got these with the muslin cloths which I won't count as in but are cute in their own little zip lock pouch.

    Refusing to go to the naughty step however, as the deal was so brilliant I couldn't refuse and I have a current obsession with collecting minis :D They may be 10 extra IN but they are small and perfectly formed ;)

    Couple more UU:

    - Neal's Yard body lotion from the baseline range - WNBA, it's very moisturizing but it takes ages to sink in - really have to rub at it.

    - Lancome primordiale skin recharge day cream. WMBA - it's nice but I think I could do better. In any case lots more day creams to use up before I need a new one - probably be new ones on the market by the time I need one!
  • Well there wasn't that mUch damage done today in cambridge.

    Ins:
    Lush comforter bubble bar
    Lush love lettuce

    And my lovely friend gave me 3 mavala np and a mavala foot soak :)

    Hello,

    I've not been on the thread for a week or so and have managed to go off the rails!!

    I have lots of INS which I am partially excited about and also a bit annoyed at myself!

    I got this months JolieBox today which I only have because I didn't unsubscribe in time - the money came out my account before I even received the last box. Anyhow...I won't spoil what is in it in case anyone else subscribes but it will all get used (eventually...)

    2 free clarins minis from selfridges counter

    I have just ordered the REN rose otto bodywash in order to get the freebies. I am looking forward to this coming (I don't have a huge showergel stash) but the LAST thing I need is more samples!!!

    I've also got some lovely INS from my sunshine swap, all of which will get used!

    Lots of OUTS too - the ones I can remember are:

    Sanctuary stretch mark oil WNBA, am not planning on any more babies so no need, also not really sure it does anything.

    Paul Mitchell Ginger hair oil WMBA, nice product, nice smell but I have some other hair oils to use up/try out

    Nicky Clarke shampoo sachets, WNBA nothing too exciting

    Biotherm body lotion sachet - WMBA no idea how expensive this is but it smells amazing and sank in fast

    Body shop banana shampoo - WBA, love it!!

    Vichy Normaderm facial wash, WNBA -I'm not too keen on gel/foaming washes

    I think thats all. My teeth whitening fund is growing - I need to count it up, I am putting £1 in for every product use up and 20p for each sachet as well as £10 for each no spend week (2 this month!). Am off to the trafford centre in a minute so will try not to bring anything back...

    Hi!
    More UU from travelling:

    Boots extracts almond body wash 50ml
    TBS coconut shower cream 60ml
    Pantene shampoo for coloured hair 10ml
    Pantene conditioner for coloured hair 10ml

    The sachets lasted two washes each, very :money:

    However, I have given into the fab REN deal. Move over on the naughty step... :o
