  • Some Uus:

    Aqueous Cream

    Tesco Sensitive Toothpaste : WMBA: Cheap at 40p and not overly minty

    Soap & Glory Hand Food: Terrible, WNBA. Too thin and watery and does not feel moisturising on the hand. Unfortunately, I bought this s a 3 for 2 offer so still have others in the stash to use. Will go back to BS Hemp cream.

    asset I'm with you on the S&G, not at all tempted! I do still like some of the products, though I think I need a rest from them - I also still have multiple gift sets in the stash from last Christmas 75% sale :o so if I do buy anything this year it won't be until it goes to 75% off again.

    How are you doing?

    I have another NBI:

    10. TBS grapefruit body lotion 60ml - not needed but remembred I had a Joy voucher to use and didn't want to have to add any money towards an item. This will be GA as a stocking filler or (most likely) go in my gym bag.

    Have some uu

    Body Shop Spiced Vanilla Hand Cream - WBA, I like the scent and it does the job.

    OPI Avoplex to go - I have two more of these in the stash but weirdly I think it makes my cuticles drier so WNBA when they have gone.

    I have several other items which are about to be finished so will have more to report soon. Our new shower is now in use :j, what a trauma we have had with that, I have really missed it.

    Have used up a shampoo but not too overly bothered as my stash of shampoo isn't too wild unlike my shower gels :o

    Am having trouble squeezing out my hand cream today so will have to cut that open to use up the dregs. Have slightly more hand creams to work my way through though.

    Thanks VALM for the tip on throwing out the lip shimmer. Bit disappointed though really as, although I don't wear any makeup, I thought a nice bit of shimmer would be quite subtle for me. I'm now hoping that my superbalm hasn't gone the same way!! Not best pleased as hadn't previously opened the lip shimmer but I guess it just goes to show it's best to use things up instead of hoarding them :)

    Another UU: another Sanctuary hand wash.


    WIBA? Very nice indeed. Am about to start on the Champneys ones from last year. If they are as good as the hand creams, they should be better than the Sanctuary ones, but we will see.

    I have INs as my Yves Rocher order finally arrived:

    2 full size conditioners
    1 shower gel
    3 serum/face creams - this was the £80 freebie so interested to see how it fares given the price

    Spent £11.95

    Taking me to 16 INs for the month. Not quite sure how I'm going to make a comeback from this, especially based on my current UU rate... :o

    To be fair, I don't think our online payment systems are set up to accommodate other countries either. If you think about it, you enter bill payer details with a postcode. It's a shame it's stopped you from sorting out the gift though, do they accept paypal at all? Do you know anyone over there you can ask to buy it and you give them the money?

    I'm jealous! I have decided to ask my brother for a gift voucher for christmas so I can look at all of the Naked palettes together in a shop and decide which one I would really like.

    To any ladies with the Naked palettes, which is your favourite? I don't know how I will pick just one!
