    One IN for me today:

    Origins Super Spot remover.

    Skin has been misbehaving recently so I'm hoping this helps! It's a tiny bottle so it almost doesn't count as it doesn't take up space. ;)

    Hi Everyone

    1 UU Nivea powerfruit Goji berry shower gel. Will buy again at some point as it smells gorgeous.

    Was very good and despite going shopping in Southampton there were no INs. (Lucky we don't count clothes and shoes). Debating trying a bb cream, tried Estee Lauder a while back but found it was a bit dark for my skin and dried it out. Not sure which one to try next - possibly garnier.

    Finding a bb cream that suits you is a long journey in itself. No two bb creams are the same, so the best thing to do is get samples and try them all out :) I love the Dior bb cream, but that doesn't mean you would love it too x

    I am very excited about today's UU:

    TBS coconut shower cream. I have been using this for about a year! Very :money: but I am so glad it's finished. It is just too thick, although does make good shaving cream! Nice smell. WDNBA!

    Don't you just love it when you finish a product that you hated :cool:

    Wish me luck to hold my resolve tomorrow ladies - Im going back into Lush for the first time in years. Now they appear to no longer support ridiculous "charities" Im going to investigate some of the new things that my friends are raving about, and also my mum needs some dandruff shampoo, and frankly - soap and float was the only thing that sorted out my horse's flaky skin, so i think she should try it for what its actually designed for (humans!)
    SO - Im anticipating only coming out with the following. (am going in with a list!)
    Soak and Float
    Curly Wurly shampoo (i am almost out of tresemme - and only have half a bottle of bed head curly one left- so im allowed to try a new one :p )
    Skinny Dip (think this is a body wash - sounds lovely)
    Brazened Honey face mask (meant to make you look refreshed - we shall see...)
    Hair Doctor - think this is a mask ? I do try to really look after my hair in the winter - it takes one heck of a hammering with all the time i spend outside.

    Hopefully that (and any freebees they give me if they still do them) will be it....

    some uu's - Clinique 7 day scrub, I like this exfoliator, it's nice and scrubby without being harsh, I have more in the stash so no need to repurchase for a while

    uu - Elvive nutri- lite conditioner - cheap as chips and does the job, wba

    uu - Dior Hypnotic Poison body lotion, this was part of a perfume coffret, it smells divine but is quite heavy, more suited to evening. I am unliely to buy again as I have the perfume.

    happy pampering, xo

    Good luck!

    I have not been into a Lush store for over a year, not one in my nearest town. When my excema was bad I loved the way they gave really good size samples to try, and I had a HG list of about half a dozen products that did not irritate. Still got some Coco Lotion and Dream Cream to finish. Good news about the "charities"!

    GOod luck! Be strong! You will probably be stronger than me though in that situation. If you feel the urge to buy, just ask for samples!
    Good luck x

    Clinique - redness solution powder - this was a LHJ. I would say 1.5 years with sporadic use. I liked how it covered up my redness, but I didn't like the dryness. I'm so happy to be done with this and I wnba.

    Perfect thread for me! Thank you!

    In recent months I've worked out that I've spent more on cosmetics than food!! I've subscribed to so many YouTube beauty bloggers that temptation is everywhere!!

    I'll officially sign up in October but I'm going to write up my list now... Between now & October I plan to only buy hair dye. Going darker for Autumn!
