Hi all, I hope everyone had a good weekend. Went to a get together of extended family for an 80th birthday party in "The Principality" yesterday, had a great time but bit weary today after total of 8 hours in the car:o

Use Ups for July:-
Hydraluron- HG already replaced.
100ml Elemis Pro-radiance Hand and Nail Cream. WBA, I have one more in stash, but still have industrial quantities of other hand creams to use.
S&G Off your face wipes. MBA. Only use wipes occasionally, but these were fine for my sensitive skin. No more wipes in stash.
Full size Oral B toothpaste, whitening sensitive. Replaced from stash with an enamel shield one.

1 Non bought IN
Free sample of La Roche Posay Redermic 5ml. (Was this the one you had AND?) - trying it on the upper lip area, where the lines are getting quite pronounced now:eek:.
4 outs and 1 In for the month is good, but will have some Emma Hardie and LIB samples for August. Otherwise I am being really good and resisting temptation:rotfl:

Hi all, got back last night from a weekend away and have a uu from my bath -

Champneys Distant Shores Bubble Heaven - WBA, love Champneys bubble baths, great scent and lovely bubbles.

Also have an in -

Lush Dirty Springwash shower gel, the small size they do for keeping in my wash bag in the caravan, it smells very similar to my all time favourite shower gel - Body Shop Watermint, which they discontinued a long time ago.

Me again! 1 more UU this evening:

111: Dermalogica Multi-Active Toner mini - WNBA, nice enough but nothing amazing. Am now onto my last toner from the stash! What toners do people recommend?

I'm loving Lush's Breath of Fresh Air. It smells really herby and has lovely stuff in it. https://www.lush.co.uk/product/60/250g---Breath-of-Fresh-Air-Toner-Water

Sure max protection cream deo - HG have replacements already in my stash as I stockpile when its on offer.

Johnsons baby bedtime cream - a stash relic from when my daughter was small (she is now nearly 8!) This was OK to use but I dont think I would buy again. Is any one else struggling to use body moisturisers in the warm weather?

Yes! Now it's a little cooler I am using oil just after showering and rubbing it in as much as possible before drying off.

I also highly recommend this for the really hot weather, I bought it a couple of years ago on BOGOF and it's a serious LHJ, very very refreshing though and incredibly good value! It's meant to be an aftersun but I originally bought it to soothe my skin after hair removal.....

Yes, me too! Anything that has the remote possibility of making me feel more sticky at the moment is out, I'm relying on whatever I'm showering with at the moment to provide some moisturisation. That said, I have been using some aloe vera gel as I've burnt a little around my shoulders and the top of my back when it was overcast and windy and I just didn't realise That's nice and cooling and gets applied just before bed

Aloe Vera is the best ever!!

Someone asked for the link to the swaps so here it is:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/142765415792857/

It's a secret facebook group though.

I am also interested in joining, but how do you go about it? That link just goes to a page saying the page has been moved......

Thanks for the recommendations Kadison.

Some UU from this morning:

2 x sample size No7 for men multitasker - from DH overnight bag WNBA as he prefers Radox.

nSpa raspberry shower gel 50ml - WNBA was OK scent didnt last though and there are other products I prefer.

Ins - all freebies

2 x sachets of Vichy products

100ml body lotion to trial.

John frieda hair serum - facebook freebie.

Evening all. 3 GWP INS:

53-54: Eve Lom Rescue Mask 5ml x 2

55: Elemental Herbology Calendula & Rose Damask Moisturiser 5ml

Excited to try these products as they are a lot more high end than things I usually use. Could be dangerous though as I may want to buy!!

What was the free hair mask thing in Tesco that people have referred to? I can't find anything about it on the grabbit board.

And some more outs from tonights bath

Elemis trienzyme resurfacing mask - WBA I like this mask.

TBS raspberry body butter - WNBA other scents I prefer.

400ml Johnsons baby bedtime bath - WMBA - this was a stash relic from when my DD was very small (shes nearly 8 now) but it lathered well and was a pleasant enough smell.

20g Elemis cleansing balm - WNBA I usually love elemis but was underwhelmed with the product. I didnt particularly like the smell and there are many more products I prefer. Will sell the other samples in my stash when I return from my holidays.

It's the only link I have. *awaits further assistance*

Mmmm, I think it is something along the lines of:-

you have to PM one of the admins your MS username and your Facebook name, then they can invite you to be a FB friend, when you have accepted they "invite you to join the FB group".

Hopefully one of them will be along soon. I had a quick look on the FB group, but I cannot relate any of the names to the names we use here. I will not post the FB names here for reasons of respecting their privacy on an open forum.

I had forgotten a GA - Elemis Pro-radiance cleanser, full size from gift/stash drawer for BFF's birthday last week.
