hello everyone, have been absent for a few weeks! everything has been a bit mad, have started a new job so everything has been a bit mad! Have a fair few Ins and Outs to report! Also, was just wondering if anyone had a link for the Emma Hardie dupe balm mentioned above as I've been wanting to buy the EH stuff for ages but the price just puts me off too much!

SO...

UU - Clean and Clear face wash 200ml - v.glad this is finally used up as was v.drying. WNBA.
Pantene shampoo and conditioner sachets.
Oral B 15ml toothpaste.

INS - 2 x face wipes
2 Lancome nail varnishes - navy and lilacy grey.
lipgloss, mascara, serum, 2 x mu remover (all free with the varnishes).
3 Garnier moisture match sachets.
Toothpaste sample.

Hope everyone is well!

Hi the seller's *bay name is elimae21 Just 1 negative feedback from someone who doesn't like the lip balm. Delivery very quick.

I bought the Facial Cleansing Balm for mature skin. As mentioned above, I am doing the half face test, so far so good. Very little needed, so will be economical (I take eye make-up off first). I will report back in about a week. HTH

emsjune - Well done on whittling down your stash some more. I know what you mean about the expensive shower gels, there are a couple of Molton Brown ones that smell amazing but they are so expensive and never seem to be on any kind of offer so people must pay it.

I have some uu

Collection Lasting Perfection concealer in light - this stuff is very, very good for covering blemishes (I find it a bit thick for the undereye area) it also makes a good, matte brow bone highlight. There did seem to be a lot left down the sides of the tube but no amount of manipulating the wand would get to it. WBA and have already replaced it but for now I will be using a No7 stick concealer with a brush.

Clarins Instant Light Blush in Vitamin Pink - this is a creamy blush applied with a doe foot applicator. It is very flattering and easy to use but expensive for only 7ml. I think it was a limited edition so not sure I could buy again.

Elemis Tranquil Touch bath elixer - 100ml - this is lovely and very softening, I have a full size in the stash and lots of other bubble baths so I WBA but not just yet plus it would have to be a part of some offer as I would not pay Elemis prices for bubble bath.

Happy Easter everyone.

And - I am an Avon rep and I always deliver my orders on a friday and collect my books on a Wednesday and I have gone out in torrential rain, blizzards, sheet ice, thick snow the lot and even when I have been ill. I would never mess people about like your rep is doing. On the magazine front have you checked that there isn't one of those continuous payment things coming out of your bank?

My regular Avon rep left about a year ago, she was wonderful and exactly how you describe yourself. The one who took over delivered one brochure, collected it then disappeared into thin air! I would chase it up but tbh I can take or leave Avon stuff, and I'm definitely leaving it while my stash is so big!

Oh...one NBI

Colgate Interdental Toothpaste 15ml - they were handing out samples in Tesco for this new variation.

1 IN Facial cleansing balm from e-bay seller as mentioned by VALM has arrived.

I bought the one for mature skin. Tried it this morning and no stinging or red patches, I am going to test it alongside the Emma Hardie for a few days by using the new one on one side of face and the EH on the other.

Nails painted OPI Dule du Leche, this was one of the first ever OPI's that I bought and it kick started my obsession with Nude and Grey polishes. Toe nails are a disgrace and badly need a pedi.:o

Am glad it's working for you so far. Once I've got through my mountain of cleansers I will try one of them I think.

You also inspired me to repaint my toe nails at last. Haven't done them for about 3-4 weeks and they did look disgraceful too. I also copied you and dug out my first ever OPI Grand Canyon Sunset. They look a little better now! Am not the best at painting my toe nails. Have also repainted my finger nails and am wearing OPI vampsterdam.

Happy Easter everyone
I have just savoured a Cadb creme egg after giving up chocolate for Lent - it was delicious...

Have had a good month, managing to finish another 5 items taking my Mar UU to 19. Latest UUs are:

Boots No 7 nude lipliner - WBA when I have no more liners left as this was a propelling pencil and didn't need sharpening - a good neutral colour too which works well under most of my lipsticks

L'Occ shea butter hand cream - WBA - HG product, so nothing more to add. Have started a S&G one now which I think I have opened in the nick of time as it appears to be on the turn.

Ariane Poole concealer palette - have given up on this - have persevered and have UU about 3/4 but it is quite old now and is past its best. My LG concealer was calling to me this morning and I decided the AP had to go.

Gatineau aquamemory mask - nothing special so WNBA

Trevor Sorbie mousse - HG product - have more in the stash already as I tend to stock up on this when it is on offer. No other mousse cuts it in my eyes.

Enjoy the rest of the Easter Break - hugs to those working over the Bank Holiday w/end xxx
