Not counting the hair slides as ins tho

UUs

• Herbal essences hello hydration 400ml - was cheap on offer and had vouchers at the time always seem to pour too much out than you actually need.

I have one of those corn callous removers as well which is brilliant for removing hard skin. Just a pity that I'm a bit lazy with my feet and rarely use it. Now you've reminded me about it I'll try and be more diligent with my feet.

That's some serious pedi kit there - did it work well and would you recommend it? The John Lewis footfile I normally use was out of stock last time I looked.

Between that and Ciate Rich Papya foot renew potion (HG) I've saved a fortune in chiropodist appointments. It took a few goes to get the angle and pressure correct... and being flexible helps but I'd highly recommend. I don't have calluses but I do get hard skin build up.

I'm going to try to keep up the foot care through the winter so that I'm not facing a losing battle next spring!

...

TA: 11 lipsticks. Some dried up and are unusable. Some simply do not agree with my skin and therefore I would never be able to use them (let alone finish them). They came as part of a "bundle package".

TA: 3 eyeshadows: dried up (they were ancient!).

TA: mineral veil loose powder. Waste of money. I won't waste my time trying to use it either. WNBA

HG: Wet n' Wild lipliner Brandywine. Used it since I was 15. After moving to the UK never saw it again until last week I saw it on Ebay...

IN: BB cream.

Sorry I haven't listed everything I have. I just moved and getting rid of boxes is a priority for me at the moment. But I WILL LIST EVERYTHING BEFORE THE WEEK IS OVER. I WILL.:o

Hi all,

IN
- Bunch samples from L'Occtitane as I got a 'gift bag' when I purchased OH his shaving stuff. Gift bag was 3 sachets of body/face cream, 1 bath pebble, 1 tiny pot of face cream, horrid 'Pivoine' perfume sample and matching lip balm which isn't as strongly scented as the perfume. Not a floral perfume girl at all! Not really a huge L'Occitane fan so they'll be a bit of a pain to use up, I like their handcreams but find their body moisturisers very heavy.
- molton brown Fragrance and shampoo/conditioner samples. Intrigued by these, never had their stuff before.
- bag of penhaligons soaps - gift from a friend. I love penhaligons! Their soaps are pricey but are just so tightly packed and fragranced to the last bit I looove them.

UU
Dove conditioner - meh nothing special
Neals yard frankincense moisturising cream - liked the scent but very heavy, definitely a night cream.
Body shop Amazon lily shower gel sample - nice texture, scent is fine. Don't really use the body shop. I feel like their smells are not special enough to pay that bit extra than say a Radox/original source. If I'm spending that, I want something a bit posher like Korres etc. makes sense in my head...:rotfl:

Here's a question - I'm a perfume nut. What are your HG/signauture fragrances?

I only own three but they are my favourites:

Dior Pure Poison - for evenings
Vera Wang Princess - for autumn and winter daytime
DKNY Fresh Blossom - for spring summer daytime


... in the past I liked Lalique (but have never found it again )
