  • Good luck for tomorrow Ruby. Its been so long since I had an interview I have no idea what to do anymore!

    Happy (belated?) birthday KT2802, I'm not sure if its today or not! You're allowed ins for your birthday, I'm sure its a loophole :D

    One small UU for me this weekend, Clinique Happy perfume GWP size - WNB I have had this for years because I don't really like the smell! It did for a couple of weeks at work and there is another in the stash to spritz through.

    No toiletry ins this weekend, and I am returning the Avon book with just my mum's order. I am doing well with the challenge this year, even if I do say so myself :rotfl:
    No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018

    Another UU, ladies! Sanctuary Hand Cream. WIBA? I really liked it: it was rich but easily absorbed and made my hands feel smoothilicious. The only had point is there is no SPF in it - when are the manufacturers going to start putting it in more commonly?!

    Well, I just got a UU of bath foam.

    Though knocking a glass vial of the stuff into the bath and spending the next fifteen minutes washing bubbles down the drain and carefully picking up shards of glass was not the way I really wanted to UU it.

    I am glad to hear about the birthday loophole, it is mine on Saturday and then mothers day in the same weekend, there will definitely be some ins I'm sure.

    I think it should be in eye cream aswell, Avon did one with SPF15 in but you can't get it now, it would surely be a good thing to have in as the skin there is so much thinner.

    I agree re the SPF in hand cream and eye gel. I always rub all creams I apply into my hands as well, but in the summer my hands get really exposed when I'm riding my trike and some SPF in hand cream would be useful. If I applied sunblock it would be put on a dozen times a day, with washing hands, dishes, etc.

    Used the Body Shop Sweet Lemon Body Scrub this morning, and gosh, I feel clean! It's not a mega scrubby scrub but it did the job nicely. It was a full tub, so although I was very liberal there's still loads left - a scrub a week will do me nicely, as I already body - brush and use a invigorating body mop with all my showers.

    Another UU - Nivea soft 8ml sample. WNBA. I have a big tube of this to use up anyway, but I find if I use it on my hands it goes a bit bitty? And it's too greasy for a body lotion.
