    Evening, welcome newbies, hope everyone is well.

    UU's
    Lord of misrule bath ballistic WBA I really like this one but as usual anything I like lush discontinue it.

    Lavender massage bar WBA made by a small company I like and being small they are quick to use up, have a couple more but will UU them this month as I seem to like massage bars currently

    Bliss sugar scrub WBA loved the scent and texture of this.

    Strawberry whipped soap WNBA I really like whipped soap but am not a great fan of strawberry scents.

    Simple toner water WBA does the job and is alcohol free

    Yves rocher purple rice shower gel WNBA a very strong overpowering scent.

    Dr bragi age management moisturiser WNBA

    Hello ladies!

    Happy February! :D

    I have three UU:

    2 OS lime and tea tree shower gels: WBA. Love the stuff! (In case you are wondering why it's two bottles I decant them into a larger bottle with a better squeezy bottle which makes it last longer than it would in the normal OS bottles. :money:

    50ml bottle of Incanto perfume: it was a present but WBA. It's a very sweet but nice smell. I had never heard of it before I was given it.
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    Just a teeny UU today.

    Garnier Moisture Match shine be gone 1.5ml sachet - WNBA, was nice enough but preferred the one I tried for dull skin.

  • Evening ladies and welcome to all the new newbies,

    Well after an almost angelic January it's all gone to pot already this month :o

    As planned I bought another bottle of Liz Earle hair oil, but then I made the mistake of going into TK Maxx and saw loads of Percy & Reed so now also have:

    volumising shampoo 50ml
    volumising conditioner 50ml
    no oil oil 15ml
    volumising mousse 50ml
    bodifying cream 50ml
    hairspray 50ml

    this va va voom set retails at £22.50 on Q but I paid £9.99 for it (why am I even trying to justify this :rotfl:)

    also called in to L'Occitane and picked up a set of the freebie 3 mini handcreams from their facebook promo so in:

    shea hand cream 10ml
    cherry blossom 10ml
    almond 10ml

    Thank you KT for starting us off this month! :)


    sunshineyday - what do you think of the Liz Earle hair oil? I have long hair that needs a bit of oil on the ends to keep it looking healthy. I've used up all my oils and am improvising with the remaining serum in my stash but it's just not doing the trick. I tried the Liz Earle one in store - it felt a little greasy on my hands but my hair defo appreciated it. How have you found it if you have been using it yourself?

    Hi Parisian, I really rate the Liz earle oil, (I think I'm on my 3rd bottle now). I have fine hair but lots of it and it tends to get very knotty and tangled to the point where I have broken hairbrushes trying to get it detangled. I've tried all sorts of serums and oils from the expensive to the cheaper brands and this is the only one I've found that leaves my hair silky and knot free and a little goes a long way.

    sorry for the long post!

    happy pampering xo

    Evening all. First UU of Feb for me:

    13 - Nivea Goodbye Cellulite 10 day serum 75ml - WNBA, bought this ages ago but didn't use it all at the time. Couldn't notice any difference tbh and don't tend to buy things like this anymore.

    Welcome to the thread victoria61. :)
    For January I had 6 UUs and 13 INs :eek::eek: I blame the £1.50 Sanctuary box!! It'd have been ok without that! Oh well onwards and upwards!
    At the hugely bargainous price of £1.50 it would have been rude not to buy it! :D
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
  • Bought a magazine earlier, it came with a sample of Head and Shoulders apple scented shampoo. Will declare it as an IN, will probably get through it in a week or two.
  • Welcome and good luck to all the new folks.

    Hope you feel better soon dolly.

    UU

    Boots No7 purifying face mask - WBA face seems cleaner.

    Elemis exotic moisture mask - WBA face feels soft and moisturised.

    Baby wipes - WBA and will need to soon as I am running low.

    15ml Elemis PCMC - replaced with same from the stash HG.

    Positives were quickly negated by an absentminded shopping trip!

    4 hotel freebies DH liberated.

    No7 Lipstick - wish they would do sample size as I always seem to choose the wrong colour - hopefully I will fair better with this one.

    No7 emerald green eyeliner

    No7 purifying mask.

    2 packs cotton wool pads.

    2 x Thermamed electric toothbrush toothpaste - at 30p seemed to good to resist.

    Wilkinson sword aftershave balm - for DH

    Hyaluron

    Cotton buds

    Carmex lipbalm for DD

    2 x Mouthwash

    Champneys citrus blush body lotion, butter & 2 shower gel - had points voucher and was on half price.

    Radox passionfruit shower gel.

    Palmolive mediterranean shower gel.

    Obviously I must have thought the 40+ shower gels in my stash would be running out this month.

    So not a great start.
