    First UU's for August

    86. Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream. 1.1/2 tubes in stock to replace, thenprobably WNBA, it has been caught up and exceeded by newer products.

    87. Clinque Body Butter 40ml. GWP, loved it, very rich butnot sticky could dress immediately afterwards, but if I can get organised onthe no animal testing I will not be buying more Clinique.

    88. Emma Hardie Eye Serum 10ml. WBA. Lasted ages and did not need eye creamas well. Gatineauand REN serum/creams to be used next.

    I have sorted and packed my toiletries and hair care bags ready to go away on Thursday, I hope I have remembered everything, as I will be away 12 or so nights and will not be able to get to shops. Next to do is underwear and footwear then the most difficult of all, nail polish:eek: too much choice:o

    Getting there with the food packing and listing of fresh and frozen, but I am not thinking about clothes until I have heard weather forecast on Wednesday (almost 2 weeks in motorhome, in a very large field), will be mainly involved in Admin work, but will need to cater for cold or wet when out on the camp site, also sun hat/sleeves and Factor 30 just in case (insert fingers crossed emoticon).

    Hi Evilsquid!

    I've always been tempted to try De Slick. It's good to hear that it works :)

    I wasn't sure if you knew that you can buy it in a larger bottle now? Free delivery here:

    Here's the link to Debs in case you have a Beauty card:

    Yeah I did see you can get it in the bigger size. Am currently watching one on ebay that's below retail, and if it goes up and over my budget, I do have some debenhams vouchers hanging around that I could use, but I want to save those for a treat purchase!

    Dear Ruby,

    Sorry that I misaddressed my reply to you! :o Not sure where my brain is today! :eek: It was very sweet of you not to say anything :A

    I know what you mean about wanting to save your vouchers for a treat. There is a beautiful Urban Decay palette out soon ('Smoked') and they are bringing out a foundation that looks very interesting. I wish that Boots still stocked UD as that is what I'd spend my AC points on...

    I hope that you get the De Slick that you're watching on eBay *crosses fingers*

    That's ok Willowbee! I've seen the 'Smoked' swatches but I have similar colours in my collection already and I definitely don't need any more foundation at the moment. Although saying that, I have almost finished my Revlon Colorstay foundation which is my Night Out foundation...Will definitely have to replace that when it's gone!

    Had a very stressful weekend, car broke down on major motorway, couldn't be fixed and got home eventually after several relay trips via the transporter :(
    so just catching up with everything here.
    I have no more uUs or INs so that is always good.
    Going to have an early night as had a couple of very long days

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

  • Hi everyone!

    Been missing in action for a while but I have UU to report!

    Clinique cream cleanser GWP size - WNBA, I had pretty much stopped using cream cleanser altogether but started double cleansing like all the beauty bloggers recommend so I could get through the stash! I still have 3 full size cream cleansers in the stash so my skin will be sparkly clean!

    Avon Maximum Moisture solution serum (this might not be what its called but it was blue and has been discontinued) - I have another of these in the stash bought on clearance, its OK but I think it is just another layer of moisturiser

    Avon Naturals Milk and Honey facial moisturiser - WNBA, used this up as hand and foot cream because it was too thick for me to want to use on my face. I have plenty of actual hand and foot cream to UU but it was the only way I was going to get through this giant tub of moisturiser!

    One completely unintentional In - I went to London last week and forgot my foundation :eek: Luckily they have shops in London so I got a Max Factor Facefinity compact because I hate choosing shades of liquid foundation. I was shocked how expensive all the foundations were, I think when I have finally got through my stash I won't be able to afford new stuff at all!

    I'm with you on the UD, I used to save up my Boots points for new eyeshadow palettes and I miss them! It would feel a bit decadent handing over actual money for them when I really don't need any more eyeshadows ever again!

    I did spend AC points today on a Botanics eye make up remover and toner, it just doesn't seem so exciting!

    Does anyone know if the Marie Claire with the Murad cleanser is only in certain shops? I was ahem, browsing, in WH Smith and Sainsburys and they didn't have any freebies with them so I didn't buy any magazines :A

    WIB? probably not - dont like it very much at all.
