About four hours last night but that did include photos for all those products and more! I'm starting the 2nd shift now!!

I have some IN's to declare - sort of fell prey to a very MSE deal.
Essie power clutch, base coat, to buy or not to buy, and orange it's obvious. Got 4 for the price of 1. will behave for the rest of the week...promise.

Hello ladies...can't believe it but I'm straight in with another LHJ UU! :jOrganics Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask.

WIBA? Well, I didn't buy it in the the first place...a friend who found it a bit too much for her skin gave it me after she used it once or twice. It's nice, but as someone else noticed about other products a few threads ago, incredibly heavily scented (verbena, I think) and therefore quite potent...no wonder it reacted with my friend's skin, and I daresay it's not a good bet for those of a sensitive nature.

Having said that, it seemed to do the job, although it is quite thick, and certainly not cheap at £20 a tube! WIBA? I'm sure I can make something roughly as good, and besides, I've got to get through all my BOGOF large Bio Oils that I bought to use as my night cream instead! :rotfl:

Hello Ladies!

I unfortunately returned from holiday - booo! I was in Canada and the US and I'm not sure if this is good or bad, but I didn't see a Bath and Body Works anywhere, so I managed to come home without a whole suitcase of their stuff!

...

One hotel had their own shower gels for sale which were absolutely divine but somehow I managed to resist (I think it was probably the $15 a bottle price tag!)

I hope everyone has had a lovely couple of weeks

Where in the US were you? I fall over the B&W stores down there, even in small town Kentucky and upstate Maryland. Canada I can understand because they are newish up here and are only in well traveled malls.

The duty free's aren't that great pricewise, I've found better value buying at dept. stores when the perfume counters or the stores have promos. The Bay and Nordstroms often havve "beauty galas" when if you spend $75 you get loot bags from the store that have all sorts of promo products from the make up counters. Las spring I spent $80 at the Lancome counter on L'Orangerie and came home with a tote bag with the equivalent of two Lanacome GWP promos and a gift card for my next cosmetic purchase.

Hangs head in shame:D

I'm in again . I gave up trying to catch up on Augusts thread, I just don't seem to have had the time!
See you all soon

UU this morning:

James Brown Volume Boost shampoo 75ml. WBA, really liked this. I thought it might have been discontinued as I got this size on offer at £1 but I see it's still on Boots' website and part of the 3 for £10 offer (£6.29 normally!).

Hi everyone! Thanks for the product reviews ladies. As is often the case when you hoard toiletries, I found a stray face scrub! Nothing special but will save me splashing out at 3 for 2, as I often get suckered in to these things. Picked up a Garnier cleanser for £3 and it's good enough for me! I'll pick up the No. 7 one when they do £5 vouchers again.

UU

faith in nature lavender geranium bath & shower gel. Lovely strong smell, really bubbly and all natural which is a plus. WMBA it was a gift, wouldn't go out of my way. More of a Radox girl at heart!

Lancôme cream cleanser mini - lovely stuff but way too expensive to buy again

Sanctuary Microdermabrasion face polish - absolutely WBA. HG just waiting for a deal to buy some more. It's 3 for 2 ATM but don't use any other sanctuary stuff. Think Sanctuary Spa are doing a discount for the vogue fashion night out so I might swing by there!

I can't remember whether I have already posted this uu or not and don't have the time to read back to see so here goes:

uu - Champneys Orientel Opulence bubble heaven. This was a mini from one of those sets they do, they used to be in round boxes and you get 4 items. Unfortunately it was so thick it wouldn't pour out of the little bottle so I had to add hot water and use the whole thing. Would have expected 2 or 3 uses really. WNBA in this size but would in full size as it smells divine.

hey ladies so i have reached my use ups/give aways target of 400 for the year!!.looking through my list the only things i have bought were womanity gift set(half price) and an urban decay palette..okay so i dint need either but about 60 quid spend for the year is amazing.
use up no403-spell body lotion in vanilla sands-wba if they still made it!!i think i will look out a bottle of sanctuary stuff next to use up
i think my next use up will be a mascara and i have a voucher to get a no17 mascara for a £1 so think i will use that soon.well happy with my clearout,also stuck my makeup palettes on a shelf(out of direct sunlight) with the intention if i can see it i will use them more instead of the same colour everyday..
