    My Glossybox finally arrived! Yay! I really like the box this month, but not so sure about the products in it - I know people don't like us to list what we get, but there is one product I quite like the look of, one product I will be able to use, and 3 products I'm not really sure about... Again, I've been sent wavy hair products for my straight hair!

    Bought a Groupon for the hairdressers on my street, and am pretty impressed with the cut! My hair looks really neat again, and I've booked myself back in for 10 weeks time, when I'll hopefully have some interviews to get respectable for!

    Also, I really think I could do with getting some new straighteners. My current ones are starting to lose their effect. Can anyone recommend some good ones around the £50 mark? I can't being myself to spend GHD prices!

    Have a lovely trip maddiemay :)

    INs:
    1. Korres Basil Lemon Shower Gel 250ml
    2. Korres Fig Shower Gel 250ml
    3. Balance Me Moisture Rich Face Cream 20ml - freebie with Glamour. I tried this once - not moisturising enough for me, but will trial it further this week.

    UU:
    1. Nuxe Body Fondant Shower Gel - thought I had nothing to wash with but thankfully I had 1 showers worth left of this stuff in the gym bag. Love it! Such a luxurious shower gel, sad to see it go...WBA
    2. Garnier Body Ultimate Beauty Oil 150ml - a lovely oil. I know I like something when I reach for it above everything else every day. Really like that it is in spray form. I have another Argan 5 oil that is probably a better oil overall, but I wouldn't reach for it as it was pour out and less convenient than a spray bottle. I felt silky all day - WBA, but may try other products on offer before repurchasing.
    3. Duraphat High Fluoride Toothpaste - WBA, it's good to have a deep clean once a week.
    4. Korres Almond & Linseed Shampoo - this is really great for an SLS free shampoo. Moisturising but did not weight down my fine hair. WBA.

    I hope everyone is using this wonderful weather to UU their SPF! :)

    I've got the Remington Keratin Therapy ones from Boots, they're on offer at the min, £53.99, from £89.99, lots of reviews on the website to look at HTH

    So glad to hear your Dad is on the mend Luvlycake

    I watched in disbelief today as a woman back straight into my car on Matalan car park and proceeded to try and drive off :mad::mad::mad: Very minimal damage, not that she'd have known as she wasn't stopping to check, her and both her passengers claimed they thought they'd hit the curb, OMG as if!!! :rotfl:

    I'm actually winning challenge wise this month, only by a couple so far but still! Further UU to declare are:

    Elemis Illuminating Flash Balm - several more in the stash (freebie size)

    HE Bee Strong Shampoo & Conditioner - thank goodness these were only sachets, my hair hated it, therefore I hated it! Was difficult to get a lather off the shampoo and it left my hair feeling rough - GA other couple of sachets I've had as whatever doesn't work for me seems to suit my friend's hair and vice versa.

    Also, Decleor Youth Cleansing Milk and Youth Lotion - these were dinky 10ml sample bottles, really liked the fragrance and consistency - looked up full size expecting to be horrified but was pleasantly surprised that the price is around £20 - 25 each for 200ml and QVC do a duo, although they're listing the Youth Lotion as a toner but I used this as a cleanser also as still has a milky, albeit more watery, consistency.

    Finally, Boots Kiss Me Quick soap - my mum will have got this in the 75% sale, WBA if I saw it at Christmas as was nice and fun, candy floss scented.

    No new IN since the small influx at the beginning of the month :A

    I love this product, be careful though, the last bottle I got wasn't fully screwed together so leaked all over my vanity case :mad: I only managed to salvage a quarter and as I tried to clean the fabric lining of the case it just kept foaming up! :rotfl: Four would last me a very long time - a full bottle is good value, especially with the vouchers
