I've been buying again, seriously in danger this month! :rotfl:

But Bio Oil 200ml is going through at Boots as 3 for 1 instead of 3 for 2, so 3 huge bottles for £20! I won't stock up further, 3 bottles will last me the year easily



ooooo well done! How exactly?

I'm going as Amber Sweet from Repo (Google it,it's a great musical, but NSFW), and I've put some Freeze in the tube my tweezers came in, to look like a vial of Zydrate, which is a bright blue drug. I'm very excited!

Yaaaaay UUUs :-D
I've been having a think about the mystery bath bomb.
Was it in an egg shape? If not, was it a large or small one?
I am going to solve this! It sounds like it might have been a candy fluff egg which smells like snow fairy
The bath that you had sounded really lovely and very pink

It wasn't, it smelled strongly of fruit, and was not much of a shape because it had been bashed around a lot - she definitely said it was something that hadn't actually made it to stores. Possibly that it was originally dragon shaped, but definitely that it was very old!

If you don't mind me asking, what do you use Bio Oil for - as a daily facial/body moisturiser? And if so, do you combine it with other products or use instead of? I've had a small bottle for a while but tend to just use it on scars etc, as I know it's meant to be good for that. As a result, I can't see how I will EVER get this product UU'd, though I really want to like it! I think it will be a definite for my Projet Pan list next month.

Ah well if it never made it to stores I don't think I can help.
Maybe Sam.4000 might know? I can ask my HQ friends but if its very old they might not know either. At least you enjoyed it

Have a uu

Mandara Spa Tropical Blooms Body Cream - 50ml - WNBA, it takes too long to rub in.

It might just forever remain a mystery... I don't mind, though, there's tons of current ones I like just as much

Some naughty ins...

23. Origins Drink Up Intensive Mask 50ml - I am really enjoying using this, and had some Boots points, so bought another one!
24. Boots Botanics Rosewater spritz toner 150ml - I realised that the toner I am planning to move onto when I use up my Eau Roma is actually a chemical one, so I needed something more gentle to alternate with it!
25. Lush Soot Ball bath bomb - I finally found one that was cute enough!

Naughty step?

I did finish up one thing, though,
45. Bee Strong Conditioner 500ml - WDBA, I'm really sad to have finished this! Got some other conditioner to work through, but I'll definitely be going back to this

1 TA for me - a Lush Deo bar, it had been lost at the back of a drawer, used it successfully for a few days, but this morning it crumbled all over the bathroom carpet:eek:

RE the soot ball, make sure you scrub the tub out BEFORE you use it so that the 'soot' doesn't stick! Mine was awesome, glittery and fun but I had to clean the bath 5 times before the black was completely gone!! :eek:

Oh dear! Haha at least it's one less thing to worry about having to UU

I sometimes use it all over my body after a shower or I drip it down my back and rub it in. I get through more in the winter because of this, it's a bit more moisturising than baby oil and I can't always be bothered applying body cream/lotion. It is greasy though so I've learnt not to use it on my arms and definitely not unless I have a good hour or two to sit in my PJs and let it sink in!

I have used it as an overnight treatment in the past but I now do that with my No7 moisture mask instead. I am going to apply it every night now on my b00bs as it's wonderful for toning the skin and making them feel firmer, and I need that! I also have a long scar from my belly button down from having an op to remove a very large ovarian cyst a few years ago, it'll never go completely but I want to see if I can get it to look a bit better!

VALM

Hi ladies, another UU which was not on my Project Pan list so I'm going to substitute it for the last remaining item from my original list of 5!

UU: Elemis Quiet Mind Bath Elixir. I did like this (made my skin very silky and smelt gorgeous) but it's not very economical given that it's pricey usually. I had acquired 4 x bottles as they came as part of the TSV last year and this was the last one. Maybe if I see it on offer I'll buy it but I tend to chuck any old shower gel into the bath to make bubbles.

Will have to have a think about my next 5 items for Project Pan.

Now, what to buy myself as a treat?? Am thinking I need to check out my stash for a hand lotion as the next UU for me will be my Champneys Citrus one. Could do with another pump bottle for my desk at work and not sure whether I have any of the Elemis ones from said TSV left.

Am at hairdressers tonight to have my colour redone. Can't wait.

I was very good yesterday and did not watch any of the Philosphy presentations on QVC. The TSV did not appeal to me. Can't see the sense in buying a kit with a half sized shower gel to get other bits that I really don't want. Much prefer the look of the kits in Boots and have told MrM about them!!

Have also had an email recently from L'Occitane re: their new fragrance and really want to have a smell of this. I'm off work the week after next and think I'll have a trip into Manchester to have a look. We are due back at the MEN (sorry Phones 4 U Arena) in November but it's me and MrM rather than me and Emma so there won't be any sneaky shopping beforehand!
