That's lots of in's Itzy... added to your already long list on page 1 of this thread. It's a good job they were presents!
Whilst using all possible creams and potions this morning but trying to hurry because I'd snooze buttoned once too many times before getting in the shower. It dawned on me... my getting ready routine will be much more efficient once I've UU a few more things! Maybe DH will appreciate a faster-ready me in the future!!!MFW: Nov 2008 £156k, Jun 2015 £129k, Jun 2017 £114k.0 -
Hello ladies,
Thought I'd just drop in as not posted for a few days. Feeling tired after a heavy going training course for the last couple of days - had access to better shops there though, nearly succumbed to some fetching orange Dior nail polish but managed to resist! Such a busy week getting everything ready for hols on Tues and ready to leave work for two whole weeks, I've never had that long off in one go in the 9 yrs I've worked there. Cannot wait! :j:j:j
I've a few UU from over the last few days:
Tresemme Colour Revive Shampoo - Was a small bottle I'd had hanging around so finished it off when my other shampoo started spluttering. Nice enough and a good price - WBA. Kept the bottle to fill with Everpure shampoo for hols. :money:
S&G Flakeaway - this was one of the mini tubs and I managed to get through it in one go, was fairly generous in my all-over application obviously. I have been quite scathing of this product in the past but not having used it for a long while I was presently surprised to find it nicer than I expected. Its really scrubby which you don't get with a lot of similar products, which I prefer and I do like the smell too. What I don't like is slipping and sliding all over the bath tub and nearly breaking my neck!!! I was very careful with this in mind, don't want any plaster casts ruining my suntan thank you. Still doubt I'd BA, prefer something a little less sweet smelling and that doesn't leave an oily residue.
REN Frankincense Night Cream - WNBA - hated the smell and it ever so slightly irritated my skin, leaving it red and a little sore. Have a larger tube of this so glad I used the smaller sample size first - that'll be a GA at some point.
REN T-Zone Balancing Day Cream - WNBA - just didn't do anything for me, a little runny and didn't have any noticeable impact on controlling my t-zone - disappointing.0 -
Have an in today, I ordered a Dr Bronners liquid soap in Peppermint from Feeluniqe and it came today. Smells really lovely and very naturally pepperminty. Looking forward to giving it a go.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Some UUs:-
Jergens Naturals Ultra Hydrating Body Moisturiser with Jojoba Oil 200ml WNBA it was OK but can't say that it moisturised any better than anything else I've tried. My skin isn't that dry anyway so doubt if I would buy any more body lotions/butters unless my skin went drier or I loved the fragrance. I have loads and am trying to use them atm to keep the slight tan I have.
Elle MacPherson The Body Bare Hand cream 50ml - would buy again but have loads of others
Dermalogica barrier repair - finished this on holiday. Only a small tube that came with a kit I got from a Groupon offer. Still using the cleanser and toner and the jury's out
Dermalogica Redness relief sample size. Not sure if this is supposed to reduce the appearance of redness or actually 'cure' it. Either way I didn't have enough to gauge whether or not it did a good job. Plus I used it on holiday when I had a tan so hard to judge. Wish I'd saved all the Dermalogica stuff until after my skin had settled down after my holiday.3 stone down, 3 more to go0 -
been a bit (lot) bad today:eek:
went to town for some cheering up retail therapy and used a coupon from a mag to get some Oringins freebies,said was worth £22 but for two tiny samples:eek:BUT did get a free facial and the sa put me down for another in a quieter room instead of the shiop floor in a few weeks:)when she had finished she asked what I wanted to buy which was a tad naughty but i bought the peace of mind thing and some eye cream with 10% off at JL
plus bought 3 for 2 shampoo/conds(including a toni and guy salt spray I wanted to try for ages from boots with double points ANDclinique bonus time was on so bought some moisture surge and moisture surge foundation to get bag of goodies(again 10% off at JL) so very bad girl
not to mention two cardis and a skirt......that will teach OH to upset me:rotfl::rotfl:he has gone for a swim whilst i am off to flower club,shame I have a bad headache(guilt????)
confirmed by email I am getting anti aging beauty bible to try
fed up to hear from Pigsback they haev stopped trading in UK so points worthless:(:(:(:(0 -

I'll make sure to avoid this one then, thanks! The Body Shop scrubs also leave an oily slippery residue everywhere. I have finally UU all mine!0 -
One UU - Aveda madder root conditioner. WBA, definitely enhances the colour in my hair and helps me go longer between dye jobs.0

Hello ladies!
Hope you're all well.
I've had 2 outs:
Andrew Collinge brunette shampoo- WNBA
Basics conditioner- it does the job.0 -
Finally a UU - Tesco facial wipes, WBA as only cost about 30p and I kept them in my gym bag for freshening up.
I have about 5 or 6 things spluttering so hopefully have some more UU soonLife 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 time0
