    Non-counted IN: Home and Bargain dry shampoo...you lot had better be right...this had better be every bit as good as Baptiste, else you lot *points round* are in trouble as you have recommended it. Oh, and another Est!e Lauder Double Wear foundation as I broke the other one last Saturday night. :(

    Also, another UU: Sensodyne Repair and Protect toothpaste. WIBA? I'm not sure it has done much for me, TBH. I'll stick with Pronamel.

    *ears perk up*

    What advent calendar is this please? :)

    Edit: Oh I've just seen, it's the Latest in Beauty one. I can't get it half price without a code :( Is it just for regular customers?


    Hmm I regularly buy things through them and they haven't emailed me about this/sent a code :(
  • evening all

    TA clinique black diamond eyeliner, I could not get this to sharpen, every time I tried I ended up with a very long exposed (and blunt!!) lead which broke when I tried to use it. Life's too short so in the bin it went.

    came across the following article about how long a perfume collection lasts :
    http://www.nstperfume.com/2008/08/19/perfume-for-life-how-long-will-your-fragrance-collection-last/

    After a rough calculation I have enough to keep me going for the next 24 years :eek::eek::eek:

    happy pampering, xo
  • Two UUs to report:

    BS Moringa Milk Body Lotion: WIB? Lovely smelling lotion, with a very watery texture. I won this in a raffle, it has a nice smell but I would not go out my way to buy this.

    BS: Born Lippy Peach and Mango lip balm: Down to my very last scraps, very sticky in texture and sweet smelling. Would only buy again if there's special offer in BS (which there always is). I have a Carmex and Vaseline to use up so that will be the replacements for my two handbgs.
  • One UU for me this morn - Olia Conditioner that comes with hair colour - conditioner was fine but WNBA as hated the colourant, it has sent my hair quite evil!!! :eek::eek::eek:

    Shockingly mine only comes to around 4.5 years (:eek::eek:) however...that doesn't include that half dozen perfume oils I have, which will probably last another 2-3 years on top.

    Oy vey!

    2 UU from me very excited and still only 1 in this months.

    UU deadseasource De-stress with ginger relaxing bath soak 100 ml WNBA smelled nice in the bath and on me, nice bubbles but it was a present and I am not a huge ginger fan. Still got the matching body lotion to open still.

    UU Biotherm Aquasource Biosensitive moisturiser WNBA this used to be my stable day cream but it was such a pain that you could only get it in certain Boots stores and online. It also got really expensive. Now use a Lancôme one which I like but can't wait to try a Liz Earle one next (freebie from newspaper promotion).

    Will definitely join next month off to tick off my UU from spreadsheet. Still not tackled travel bag need to streamline it as we are off to South Africa soon and it needs to last for 3 weeks. Good chance to make a dent in the suntan lotion.

    Anyone use after sun or do you just go with a normal body lotion. I have got sensitive skin which is dry so currently use BS Body butters but they are a bit stick and heavy perhaps.

    Have a little uu

    Clarins eau ressourcante (sp) shower gel - 10ml, this was a sample size that came with an online order. It is lovely and I WBA but don't need to just yet as I have a 50ml size in a gift set.

    Have quite a few splutterers so am hopeful for a little flurry of use ups before the month is out.

    Confession time now, I have ordered the LIB advent calender at half price although I am a bit peeved with them. I am registered and have had several beauty boxes and minis but I didn't buy the advent calender at full price. I never received a half price code from them (I found it on someones blog) and it looks like they have sent the code to people who have already bought it which must be very annoying for them. The person who wrote the blog from which I got the code was not a happy bunny. Anyway I am very much looking forward to it as the contents look really good but I think they have been a bit unfair.
