Hi ladies,

I've been completely off the radar the last couple of weeks as had a fire which started in the electrical fuse box in the kitchen and was very scary :eek::eek::eek: Was very lucky however that it happened while we were in and managed to catch it fairly quickly with fairly minimal damage. Doesn't bear thinking about if we'd have been out or, worse, in bed. The smell of burning plastic is almost gone and I once more have power, bar the cooker at the moment, engineer back out on Monday as that keeps tripping the new board as soon as switched on. I can live without it for a couple of days as only me about while OH is at work.

OMG thta sounds awful, how fortunate that you were in the house at the time. :eek: Sounds like you were all very lucky.
I have another IN but a free one from Top Sante magazine of a free l'occtaine shower gel. Send my BF to collect it as I couldn't get away from work :T
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine!

UU

Caudalie Eye and Lip Serum, 1.5ml - WMBA, possibly contains Palm Oil! I have commented on their Facebook asking.
Herbal Essences Bee Strong Conditioner, 10ml
Herbal Essences Shampoo, 10ml - WNBA these again as these for def contain Palm Oil! One of the worst offenders! Which is a great shame as it is a dam good shampoo and conditioner! My hair loves it!

UU

75ml Stella shower gel - a definite pink rose candle that I was saving for special occasions that would have been rotten by the time I have enough of those to use it up. WNBA on its own as the bottle design is a nightmare to get out.

3ml Aromatherapy associates revive oil - WNBA dont really like the fragrance.

emsjune78 sounds like a horrid time, poor you!

I have a UU:

5. REN Pro-Vitamin conditioner 100ml. WNBA, did the job but others I prefer, my hair was always slightly tangled still afterwards.

And an unintentional (and, strictly speaking, non-bought) IN:

18. Essie nail polish in Watermelon. Treated myself and best friend to a manicure yesterday and they gave us the polish to bring home! Is this normal?? I don't often splash our on paid beauty treatments (but thought it was deserved after the past few weeks and promotion ) will definitely be going back there!

Hope everyone's having fun in the sun!

Oh, and GA the items I counted as outs last month when I sorted my stash, plus an extra 1 - all make up items I don't/won't use, mainly GWPs, to my friend.

UU's over the last couple of months;
Boots Baby Extra Large Cotton Wool Pads - WBA excellent for use with micellaire water.

Oral B pro expert toothpaste sample - WNBA - makes my teeth oddly sensitive

L'Oreal Skin Perfection 3 in 1 Micellar Solution - WBA but preferably on offer. When Escentual has its 3rd off French pharmacy brands, Bioderma actually works out cheaper against the L'Oreal version at RRP.

Niva Refreshing Facial Cleansing Wipes 7 pack - bought for hand luggage, WMBA nothing speical but handy pack size.

Seche Vite HG top coat - WBA already repurchased

Sanex Dermo Extra Control 48H Antiperspirant deoderant - WBA but have lots in the stash.

Maccleans Ice Whitening Toothpaste - WBA

Bioderma Solution Micellaire 100ml bottle - WBA - have larger sizes in the stash, this travel friendly bottle is annoying because the cap won't come off to refill

Balance Me Rose Otto Body Wash - was a freebie, nothing special to justify cost, probably WNBA.

Tesco Freshmint Toothpaste - 30p experiement, WMBA

Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel - Probably WNBA, enjoying the Michael Todd masks and the Ren glycolactic peel

B-Quick 4 in 1 cleaning wipes (Superdrug brand) - packaging screams "made in the same factory as No7 wipes" - WMBA - I'm liking micellair water on a cotton pad for makeup removal these days and these wipes arn't quite as good as the No7 ones but they are half the price.

Boots Expert Sensitive Gentle Refreshing Toner - nothing wrong with this, WMBA

Boots Coconut Shower Cream - a gift, wasn't really my thing, WNBA

Boots Botanics Soothing Eye Make up Remover - did the job, moved on to the Nivea version though, no reason not to repurchase, WMBA

Superdrug Oval Cotton Pads - WNBA now I've discovered the Boots Baby ones.

Elemis Quiet Mind Relaxing Bath Elixir - WNBA due to cost but very enjoyable and would welcome as a gift.

Lancome Bi-Facial makeup remover - WNBA due to cost - Nivea makeup remover doing as good a job.

Caudalie Eau De Beaute spray - bought in to blogger hype - can't say it did anything for me. WNBA

Lotil lotion sample - WNBA left residue on skin.

Ren Frankincense Revitalising nigh cream sample - WBA from what I could tell over a few days, didn't break me out.

Threw away:
Body Shop Blue Corner 3 in 1 Deep Cleansing Mask - this stuff BURNS my skin. WNBA
Good Things Five Minute Facial - Also BURNS (I was not having a good mask month) - WNBA
Body Shop Vitamin E day & night cream - I don't remember hating these but I haven't used them for ages - Probably WNBA as I have other things that work better for me.
