    UU

    Dermalogica Multi Active Toner, 4ml - Quite a decent wee toner but the spray bottle is really pointless as you still have to rub it into your skin anyway!

    Feeling very happy. I have not bought the Lib box, I did not buy the Dec tsv yesterday and I am not interested in the tsv today either :D

    Yay you. I caught a very short snippet of the TSV yesterday but can't get excited about Percy & reed after using the freebies I had.

    Have another UU to report:

    S&G Flake Away Mini - WNBA, not as scrubby as my HG exfotonic.

    Where do you buy exfotonic from Ruby? I tried looking for it a while ago as it came highly recommended to me for the treatment of kp.

    I have an in to report :o. I got the Marie Claire with a free 50ml Murad cleanser. In my defence, I don't have a huge stash of cleansers and I do have a couple of splutterers at the moment (body sprays not cleansers). My biggest problem is shower gels and bubble bath (and there hasn't been a bath in this house since I had it taken out about 8 years ago!) I also have a body lotion/butter/cream habit, although I've yet to find a HG and don't find any of them make much difference. They might come in handy if I manage to catch some sun on my holiday though, hold the dreaded flaking at bay.

    Me too although I am conquering the body butter/lotion stash a lot quicker. At this rate there will still be some shower gels in stash by the time Christmas comes and I will have re-stashed probably from gfits. have packed 2 x full sized shower gels for my hols - L'occitane Verbena for day time and Elemis Frangipani Shower Cream for evenings. Let's hope I make a sizeable dent in them over 2 weeks.

    Went to Boots last night and did indulge in the Maybelline 3 for 2. Emma got a mascara and foundation and I got the eyeliner thinking that the only eyeliners I now have are within a Smashbox pallette so this would save me taking a whole pallette away with me (plus I've already given the pallette to Emma anyway). Yesterday I asked Emma to put makeup she wants to take away with her on my bed for me to pack. Came home to find a chocolate tin, this size:
    http://www.chocolate.com/products/gift-tin-box-christmas-french-chocolate-powder/ on my bed crammed full of cosmetics. Seems I may have passed my problem on ! lol.

    That's why I bought it and it is the most amazingly scrubby scrub you will ever use. It feels a bit too rough the first time you use it but you get used to in in the end and your skin is literally glowing after use. I buy mine from Cheapsmells but it's still sold in stores in mainland Europe so I always buy a couple when I'm over there because it's cheaper. Am using the Garnier Sugar tonic scrub at the moment and it's no where near the scrub level of exfotonic but it's better than many other scrubs i've used in the past.

    Thanks for this, you make lots of sense! I may send them an email, it would be interesting to know their reasoning.

    Tater - this really made me laugh!! Have just txt my mum to tell her what you said about me and she's called back to say shes smiling - she went into hospital this am for an op. So, thankyou very much for bringing a smile to my mums face!!

    No in's/ out's/ UU for me - things seem to be slow at the moment.

    Hope everyone is OK

    UU

    Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant, 13g - WBA. This got used up far too quickly, loved scrubbing my face every morning and night, although i think it has given me more spots haha
    Smashbox Photo Finishing Luminizing Foundation Primer, 7.1ml - WNBA. Slightly to orange and shiny. Much prefer Porefessional!

    With the Dermalogica Microfoliant, I found it's better to just use it once a day, otherwise you're aggravating your skin a bit too much.
