    I would recommend these two...the first one is richer so probably better for dry skin than the Olay one, but both are HG products of mine :)

    FYI the olay one is always about £5 in Asda, not just atm.


    Thankssssss kadison, I think I'll check out the body shop one in store! SPF30 sounds good to me :D

    4 OUTs, all sachets but still, I need the boost! ;)
    7/8 - L'Occitane precious cream - lovely stuff
    9 - garnier moisture match normal - also nice
    10 - origins plantscription - also very nice

    This week I handed in my notice to persue my jewellery business full time! So, absolutely no more new products. :A
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    So So naughty I just ordered a touche eclat and mascara. I nearly did it last night and didnt check out then loaded the basket and changed my mind again tonight then a mascara actually loaded and I wanted to try a decent one so I went for it.

    Silly really as Im broke but figured when my fav perfume runs out it will help towards a new one, hopefully Ill have the rest by that time too.

    Just caught up on the thread - had a manic week and have to spend the weekend studying :(

    Mcculloch - sorry to hear about your fall but glad to hear you are feeling ok

    Catriona P - congrats on passing your exam, great news!

    Jealous of your upcoming holiday and hot stone massage rosemary :rotfl:

    Loving reading people's stash lists / daily make up / planned UUs for the month - gives me some inspiration too!

    I agree with whoever posted about TBS Satsuma Body lotion stuff, love the smell but is a complete nightmare to get out of the bottle. Have stored it upside down but will still not come out. Also struggling to get out the last bit of S&G Hand Food. Will have to cut the bottles I think.

    UU53: Bastiste Lace Dry Shampoo 200ml - replaced immediately with IN29: Bastiste Lace Dry Shampoo 200ml :rotfl:

    Get through so much of this stuff!

    UU
    Tesco Strawberry Body Lotion WBA. I didn't think I would like it, but it squeezes out of the tube easily, goes on really well and then dries really quickly and smells of delicious strawberries. I don't know how much it is as it was a gift, but knowing Tesco it would probably be good value. (TBS Satsuma lotion is definitely a better quality - I wish it was in a tube like this one). x

    I'm thankfully definitely OK after the fall though I have a livid bruise on the top of my shoulder. A little UU today of an Avon Renew day face cream - 7ml freebie.
    WIB? Don't think so, it was pleasant enough but no SPF and I have a thing about SPFs for day wear. I do, however, like the Anew Rejuvenate day cream I've just bought - SPF of 25.

    Is it possible to do skin tests? I had to have skin tests for common allergens when I was having investigations in to a sinus problem I have. They drew a simple grid on my arm, punctured the skin in each gris and rubbed in a little of each irritant. It sounds awful, but in my case I wasn't allergic to any of the common stuff so a bit of a waste of time. If you were able to try certain products etc like that you may be able to narrow it down?

    That's a good idea, I might ask the Dr if we can try it, as I'll need to go along next week anyway to get a steroid cream. It would really help me if I could narrow it down, because it gets expensive/frustrating trying to constantly guess! I've got so many products half-used while I avoid x ingredients! And I seem to try a new product every month or so.
