    Few UU's to report.

    5.Timotei conditioner- WBA- nice and thick,did what it needed to.
    6.A Lush bubble bath bar- had it that long goodness knows what it was called-WNBA, prefer showers plus the bath was a pain to clean after.
    7.Avon skin so soft dry oil spray- WBA, lasts ages and absorbs quickley.

    Have sorted all my stash into boxes depending on what they are for e.g body,hair,face,makeup. Should make finding stuff easier.

    I have another UU to report

    Dove Nourishing Cream Shower Gel
    WNBA - nice enough product, but smelt a bit "soapy".


    I was very lucky today - I went to L'Occitane to buy a Birthday present for my sister and the VERY generous Sales Assistant gave me 26 samples :T :T :T I know that this doesn't help to reduce my stash but I'm very pleased!

    L'Occitane are very generous but that's a lot even for them! :D

    1 Uu to report - soap and glory hand gel, smells nice but not sure how good it is cause left it in a drawer at work! Oh well I have another 2 to use.
    Almost finished my hand creme, don't really want to buy any as I have loads of body butters and lotions, thinking of using one of these as a hand creme but not sure of it would just leave my hands greasy?

    Mmmm, trial and error I guess, but you could try putting some onto back of hand, then rubbing it in with back of other hand and then just round cuticles without getting it on palms and most of fingers, that's what I do if I am cooking or about to drive and don't want slip. At night I do the whole hog and then put on cotton cloves (when I remember:().

    A lotion would be fine...body butter maybe only at night. Worth a try anyway. ;)

    Hellooooo ladies

    I've been off the planet this month! A few outs so far:

    UU:
    1. Jurlique Daily Exfoliating Cream 40ml - would never never NEVAR buy again, smells and has the same consistency as vomit. I'm not even kidding! If you can get past that, it did have a gentle exfoliating effect... but I always felt a bit sick using it!
    2. Aquafresh Extra Care Tingling Mint Mouthwash 250ml - WBA
    3. Nuxe Reve de Miel Handcream 15ml - WMBA
    4. Batiste Dry shampoo Blush 50ml - WBA

    Some GA's to my sister in law:
    1. Dermalogica Mult Active Toner 50ml
    2. Hadanomy Collagen Mist 250ml
    3. Superdrug Vitamin E Hot Cloth Cleanser 200ml
    4. Tresemme Hair Serum

    IN:
    1. Elnett Satin Heat Styling Spray Volume 170ml - as my current heat spray is about to finish

    Xxx
