Garnier Simply Essentials 2 in 1 makeup remover - fantastic stuff and on offer in Boots at the mo for 2 for £4 - I find a lot of cleansers struggle with Benefit They're Real that I wear but this makes short work of it - my HG never to be strayed from makeup remover, far superior to the Clinique version IMO

I'm seconding this one. I love Clinique take the day off but can't always have it. The Garnier one just melts the eye make up off, so no nasty rubbing.

Emsjune- did I miss the pics:huh:

Got my feet done at my chiropodist's yesterday. My big toes are feeling rather tender now. Since my back went I am struggling to look after then in between appointments so she had her work cut out for her sawing away at my nails Also not been able to use my Elle Macpherson foot lotion that has been on my PP list for months. Might see if I can talk the bf into helping me out this weekend and slathering some on

Really looking forward to tomorrow night. Some friends got a new jacuzzi ( the real deal Costco type one) and they are having a party tomorrow. Can't wait to try it out- I could do with some relaxation.

Fiasco55: Jacuzzi time sounds like a very good idea.

I have a final UU for the month: Lush Helping Hands Hand Cream (sample tin, 10g) - WBA, love this stuff and the things it does for my hands. Have moved on to a Lavera sample that came in last month's birchbox, which seems to be doing a good job so far.

Back from a successful trip to town so 3 little free INs:

L’Occitane Amande hand cream 10ml
L’Occitane cherry blossom hand cream 10ml
L’Occitane shea hand cream 10ml

Perfect for my hand bag, shame they won't last very long through:(

I gave my voucher away yesterday. Just don't think I'll get to a store before they run out so someone else may well have the benefit. Her husband works in Manchester City Centre so she's sending him instore to collect them.

Ah, Emma had one of those at Christmas. I sorted our little Lush stash out into one small toiletry bag at the weekend.

Good evening everyone!

2 more UU's to report over here :j , both from the PP list

Ted Baker 75ml Body wash WMBA, was a giftset received from santa.... wot a nice santa! quite nice to use but i have so many more smellies to use before i need to rebuy.

Charlie Red 50ml WNBA, again another part of a giftset from santa, will grab another body spray to UU before i open my nice new perfumes:p

Any one have any personal tips on how to ease stress induced psoriasis on the face, other than inflicting pain on the person responsible for the stress in the first place?

Happy Bubbles

I used to get something similar on my chin which was stress related and Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream applied at night was the only thing that helped, then during the day a good primer will help for applying make up over it.

I have my last uu for January

Dove Nourishing Oil Care - 50ml, WBA.

I still have the full size matching shampoo on the go so I will use that with a spray on leave-in conditioner.

My DD is not a happy bunny at the moment, there is a TA at her school who is a complete pain in the bum, she is like a 12 year old playing teachers. Went to see her yesterday about calling DD bad mannered and rude for going back outside just after playtime to bring her coat in from the playground when she had forgotten it. DD got really upset and burst into tears and on the way home she was so furious about the TA's lies that I have to believe her, she was shaking with fury. To cheer her up I am making home made mini pizza with her favourite toppings and we are watching Harry Potter tonight.

I have polishes that are 8+ years old, even though some of them split they have been fine when shaken and I have had to throw very few away.

It is perhaps sad, but from time to time I go and look through my lovely red Helmer and give all the polishes a shake:o

No, not sad at all to me. I love my Helmer too. Sometimes I just sit and look through all my polishes and marvel at their sparkly loveliness. Some of the polishes in my collection are well over 12 years old and still going strong.

Thank you very much, I'll have confused everyone now though as have deleted the post, for some reason the pics came out really small - I obviously haven't got the hang of Photobucket just yet!!

I missed the photos! My bathroom here is relatively new after we suffered a burst pipe which caused extensive damage to our house. We used the opportunity to upgrade what was there and paid extra for marble tiles, a new bathroom suite and a new shower. I'm very proud of it, but I've only had one bath in it so far as I prefer showers now.

One UU, the Superdriug Vitamin E cuticle oil. WBA. Cheap and was very easy to use as part of my bedtime routine. Boyfriend liked it to and would close his eyes and pretend our pet rabbits were grooming his hands! (is that weird?)

This made me giggle xxx
