Nivea in shower body moisturiser 10ml

The in shower body conditioner was interesting, I have noticed the difference on my skin but it did make the shower very sloppy. I have enough balance issues not to need these extra problems

I was really intrigued by this moisturiser, do you think it's worth giving a go?

1 UU - Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream, WBA HG and several months supply in stock.

3 IN's - 2 x Hydraluron and 1 x Eyesilix (Boots 3 for 2 offer). Hydraluron is a HG and now have about 9 month's stock.

Congratulations, Hugs, Commiserations as necessary to those that deserve them.

The buying to make oneself happy thing is a hard one, as an (almost) reformed character the thing that worked for me is instead of going to buy on line, I keep looking at/organising the things that I had and making plans to use them, I now enjoy my nice goodies and don't find that I want to buy so much mail order or from bricks and mortar shops. Still a way to go, but much better. For those having trouble at work or with relationships, try whacking hell out of a pillow or cushion, it can be very satisfying:j

UU - Neutrogena exfoliating wash 150ml - wnba, though this used to be a hg product for me. This now dries my skin out badly

A UU this afternoon, back was aching like mad, think it was standing in high heels last night and I was slightly hungover... so only a soak in the bath would do - finished off Hello Kitty Liberty Bath Bubbles, lovely fragrance and packaging plus lots of bubbles - WBA - this range is a lot more sophisticated that I thought, I'd have expected Hello Kitty to be aimed at children but this proved to be a really nice set, also have body scrub and body butter which are still in use.

Not ready to go back to work tomorrow, car is playing up :mad: Will try and book it into the garage tomorrow, I've said for the last week or so that it didn't feel right but OH drove it today and declared it was fine, I popped to the supermarket later on and lo and behold a warning light illuminated on the way home... Need to get it sorted as I have a big journey on Thurs and I don't want to break down :eek:

Hope everyone has had a good bank holiday weekend x

Hello Ladies. I am just gonna dive right back in. Just back from my holiday and I had a ball. Didn't manage many UUs, but I did not purchase a single product including the duty free!! :j:j:j...I must be cured!

So 5 UUs

Lee Stafford Matt Fat Powder 10g - Hated this so WNBA. I binned it after the last use left me looking like I had severe dandroff.

Gum Hairspray 300mls - HG hairspray for me. I was in a few very humid countries on my travels and it held up really well too. Very impressive.

Armani Diamonds Body Lotion 75mls - this was a bit meh for me. The smell is nice but just and ok body lotion. WNBA.

Liz Earle Body Cream 50mls - Found this to be very thick and too heavy for me. WNBA.

The One D & G Purse Spray - Great size and liked the scent WMBA. Once I get a good few more perfume UU's.

Hope everyone is well and has had a nice bank holiday weekend.

Evilsquid so sorry to hear about the difficulties you have been having but huge congratulations on the career front!

Hope you had a great holiday Fiasco and I hope everyone has had a good long weekend.

My hair is so dry at the moment - what intensive conditioners do you ladies recommend? Planning on going to buy one at some point this week.

Spent the day ironing, reorganising paperwork and decluttering in general - its amazing the positive effect shedding a load of rubbish can do. Still have a way to go but small steps.

Sorry to hear of your trouble Evilsquid hopefully things will improve soon.

A small UU

Lush henara - WNBA I liked this but it had floaty flowers inside which I find annoying.

TA
Another sachet of Nair hair remover - Its at least 8 years old and didnt want to risk a skin reaction.

I have three UUs

Nivea in shower body moisturiser 10ml
L'Occitane divine cream 1ml
Olay gentle cleanser 130ml

The in shower body conditioner was interesting, I have noticed the difference on my skin but it did make the shower very sloppy. I have enough balance issues not to need these extra problems.

The olay cleanser I am glad to see the back of. It is hateful stuff IMHO, dries my skin out, I hate wash off cleansers, rant hatred etc.:cool:

Thanks for this, I was hoping someone would try the Nivea stuff out as the advert had caught my eye. I usually hate moisturiser in case I'm left feeling sticky so thought this might be a good way round it.... Good point re the slipperiness though!

One more oldie UU for me Clearasil face scrub - although I quite liked this for occasional use I probably would not buy again - still have heaps of other face washing and scrubbing products to get through and I am aiming to explore more of the real Holy Grails in skincare and age appropriate products.

rosemary54 - how is your foot now?[/QUOTE]


thanks for all the good wishes ladies, well the foot seems a bit better in places,i.e across the toes where the pain was really bad but still a bit tingly at times and the consultant did say it could be two weeks before I see a change and I don't go to see him till July 3rd.I did go for a longish walk with Dh yesterday and it was okay till near the end so that was good, think it will be a case of wait and see. I do wish though I had not listened to horror stories from people who have had it done as don't think it was that bad and only took 3/24 of the strong pain killers.

it is DH,s birthday today and the card off DS2 (a dad one) had not suitable for under 36 months printed on the back! Well it made me laugh on a wet morning!:rotfl:
we had a nice weekend but he kept going up to his office to do stuff, it is so unfair the pressure employers put on people these days:(
