    A UU - mystery moisturising day face cream with SPF15 that came for testing, don't know which make but pleasant smell, texture and most importantly has SPF which I think is really important for day to day use
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
  • Well I managed to change my mind about the BS order once I had a few items in the basket. Really want to graduate, won't be too much longer I hope:)
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Well done! :T :T :T

    Once you graduate you'll be able to buy exactly what you want :rotfl:

    - I've put my REN goodies to one side as I have things I need to UU first :o All the facial care bits and bobs that I've tried so far have been great. (Except the eye gel which didn't do anything. Strange...)

    I'm thinking of de-potting some eyeshadows (:eek:). This is part of my quest to 'get organised'. (It will pass...) Can anyone recommend a good palette to put the eyeshadows in? I only know of the Z palette. Is there anything better? Any advice appreciated :D

    I havn't got to the eye gel yet. I am using up all my sample sizes first before moving onto the full size, makes my UU list bigger haha

    UU 77 Arden All Gone Eye and Lip Makeup Remover (50ml) - WBA? Nice freebie & I'm happy that I have another to use but I wouldn't buy it full-size. (Garnier Essentials 2-in-1 will do for me :))

    PYON - Maybelline Forever Strong Rose Salsa. Lovely and bright! :D

    Oh! I looked at Z Palettes and had no idea they were so expensive. I'm trying to think of a way to may a DIY palette instead...

    In my personal experience, I prefer the UNII palette over z palette mainly due to these reasons:

    1. Customer service - Z palette sent me a nasty email in response to my email to them and a blog post stating how my palette fell apart. See....it is made out of cardboard, so therefore any sort of humidity or water will make it bubble up. I sent them photos, and they told me they wouldn't help me until I took down my blog post. Obviously, I kept my post and added that they tried to bully me into posting a dishonest review, which obviously is a huge no-no to any beauty blogger.

    2. The UNII palette is made out of hard plastic and looks extremely sleek and modern. It also comes in more colours and variations. Also, the UNII palette has a mirror inside which the Z Palette doesn't.

    Hope that helps. Good luck depotting. I have had some depot casualties :rotfl:

    Let's see.... no IN's so far, but that's going to change tomorrow when Chanel releases their fall colors - I just can't resist :( plus I need a pick me up. I quit smoking almost 2 weeks ago, and my emotions are rampant lol

    UU:

    Amazing concealer - bought this in 2008 and the consistency got really gloopy, so I used up about 75% of it and TA the rest really. Excellent concealer! I bought it after Michelle phan raved about it.

    Molton Brown indian cress hair conditioner sample - hotel sample and was total crap lol

    Clarins gentle foaming cleanser with cottonseed - god I love this face wash. I was spluttering so I put the remainder into a tiny travel vial to take with me on holiday

    off to work now! hope everyone has a great day!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker
    One UU Elle MacPherson The Body Glow Body Spritz 25ml

    I really didn't like this fragrance at first but it has grown on me. It was a handy size for my bag as well.

    Some of my stash is so old that I doubt I would be able to buy again as some of the products are likely to have been discontinued - they are antiques basically :D
