    If you have access to any Aloe Vera gel it will help a lot, on its own at first and then you can mix with aftersun/moisturiser. Hope you feel better soon.

    I second the Aloe Vera Gel works much better than aftersun. Hugs to you Catriona_P hope you feel better soon.
  • afternoon ladies :hello:

    some uu's: elemis pro collagen quartz serum - a gwp, nice enough but wouldn't go out and buy it

    elvive nutri -gloss lite conditioner - does a great job and doesn't cost the earth, have another one in the stash

    S&G happy hair shampoo - hate this stuff, it was part of a gift set I got at Christmas, used it to shave my legs with, wnba

    balance me facial wash - love it, have squillions still in the stash


    happy pampering, xo

    any particular one? Going to Rhodes soon and hopefully won't get sunburnt but it's best to be prepared (and it means I can justify buying something :D).

    One UU to report - TBS Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Mist 100ml. Probably WNBA - loved this fragrance when I was given the shower gel and body lotion for a present but now have totally gone off it. I seem to be going off fruity/floral scents lately and leaning back to heavier, muskier ones - not sure why.

    Sending me into Superdrug is a bit like sending an alcoholic into a vineyard but I will try to behave myself and just get the aloe vera!

    I think I will need to buy a few things for my holiday but am holding off for as long as I can. I have been buying wipes a lot less but will need to get some as it will be so hot that I think they will be a necessity. Definitely don't need any shower gels/bubble baths/body lotions though - I must keep reminding myself of that :D

    Plus i have loads of make up, even though I hardly ever wear it, so need to avoid that as well.

    Two more UUs! Its a good month.

    Happy Hair Days Lemongrass & Basil Glossing Shampoo SLS free etc - WNBA. I never felt like my hair was properly clean, needed washing on the 2nd day rather than the 3rd, didn't notice any glossing effect, had to use loads as it was runny and didn't lather very well. Unimpressed.

    La Roche Posay Effaclar M - my HG mattifying moisturiser (although I've seen you ladies refer to a couple of others I'm trying not to buy to try out!). WBA! Opened another I had in my stash.

    Evening ladies. I am out on my balcony enjoying the sunshine as I type...sheer bliss.

    I have a UU's
    - Ultra Swim Conditioner 250mls. WNBA as it is horrible stuff that stripped my hair. I have re-purposed this as shave cream to get rid of it.

    - Ren Eye Gel GWP freebie. WNBA as I didn't think it did much at all. Also I didn't like the consistancy - if seemed really watery.

    - Clinique Lipgloss Glamourful. WNBA as I have went right off lipgloss.

    no comment on your UUs, just wondering how you managed to get thanked so often :eek:;)

    I have some UU from the past few days:

    clearasil scrub- WNBA

    BS White Musk body polish- WNBA

    John Frieda frizz ease blowdry lotion- WNBA

    Avon lotus shield- WBA

    Lush snowman bath melt- WNBA

    I think I can finally be added to the graduates list!:eek: my stash is not as small as I would like it but I don't think it will get any smaller as it's mostly back ups of the things I love, so will all be used.

    Thank you thank you thank you lovely ladies, I've had a great time here, saved some money and shared a few laughs :beer:

    I will be sure to come back as soon as my stash starts to take over again :D
