    I've got this and I hate it. Weird smell and it doesn't even moisturise that well. Leaves me feeling sticky.

    Yes, it's odd, doesn't seem to be the same texture as their other body lotions. I didn't find it left me sticky but then I do have quite dry skin. Very expensive for something quite ineffective.

    I've had a look through the bathroom and have a couple of throw aways, both items had been open since June 2011.

    Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser 200ml - not much left really, absolutely hate this really dries out my skin
    Herbal Essences Ignite My Colour Conditioner 250ml - I found during 2011 that herbal Essences products made my scalp itch.

    I'm feeling a little embarrassed at the moment, decided not to wear contacts today to rest my eyes. Put makeup on without contacts for the 1st time ever and thought it looked ok. When to town to pick up meat for tomorrow, thought people were giving me odd looks, but ignored it. When I got home and looked in the mirror had stripes on on cheek.

    Have a great new year everyone one.

    Thank you for getting us started for the new year.

    I feel that I have had a productive year, and have really begun to get my head around my reasons for buying/hoarding, (yarn and beads as well as books in the past).

    I enjoy reading everyone's thoughts on the products used, and MOST OF ALL have enjoyed the virtual friendship and support of you lovely people here, differences of opinion are respected and advice offered without any judgement or nastiness.:A:A I was much happier when the beauty box ladies decided to post on a seperate thread, because it seemed for a while that it was taking over here and was somewhat enabling, I drop in there from time to time and for me it makes for more interesting reading now it is all in one place (I don't subscribe to BB's but have had a couple of LIB ones)

    Happy New Year and see you all on the new thread.:T

    Happy New Year for tomorrow everyone.

    My splutterers are going into the new year with me so nothing to report. See you in January.

    Silly question for people who go to lush it says on the full sized tubs that you can return them and exchange for a face mask, but what about the spray bottles and sample tubs?

    Right, finished the inventory! I have a grand total of 305 items not including makeup

  • Woot woot I have drawn even on the month!!

    UU champneys Mediterranean bliss show cream and body glow travel sizes.

    I may have been a little luxurious with the shower cream, but after being covered in numerous cleaning products and icky stuff being cleaned in old flat, it was necessary for the soul!
  • One last UU - having a PYNM and finished a bottle of OPI drip dry. I'm not convinced it made my nails dry any quicker and it seemed to get UU quite quickly so I think I WNBA.

    Also used my best purchase of the year - my emjoy micro pedi. Never going to need to waste money on foot scrubs again (which are pretty ineffectual by comparison) and much better than using a foot file / pedi egg etc, less effort too.
