    Evening, hope everyone is well. Hope you feel better soon Moneyless Mac.

    UU's
    2 X HM winterwald foot tabs WNBA these had fallen apart so I used them in the water air purifier thing. They did smell lovely.

    Hm sprudelatus bath tab WNBA quite nice but the cinnamon scent was too overpowering.

    Star light star bright bath melt WNBA definitely don't like these thewy remind me so much of honey and lemon cough sweets.

    Lavender hair mask WNBA really liked the product and my hair was scented with lavender all day but this was from a small American company and postage and duty makes it too expensive.

    Bayliss and Harding skin spa cherry blossom shower gel 500ml WNBA It was so thick I could not get it out of the container easily so I have used this in the washing machine. It actually worked very well.

    Frizz ease shampoo WNBA this was inherited from my Mom. I much prefer BS ginger one and my scalp is telling me the same thing.

    Hyralauron WBA HG

    4 items out, ebay.

    Oh dear, I'm very tempted to seek these out now. I absolutely looooooove cinnamon! :heart2: :D
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
  • UU- Joules Superbly smooth body butter WBA if on offer or would love to receive as a gift again because smell is lovely and texture really is like butter but doesn't feel as heavy as normal body butters. Really lovely product! Surprising really as Joules is mostly clothes not toiletries. Recommend :)

    Being an upstanding citizen, I feel it would be most rude of me not to relieve Crabtree & Evelyn of a free tube of hand cream in exchange for an empty one........ :p

    If I can sweet talk my Aunt, I believe I may soon be declaring an in. :D

    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
  • I've got two UU:

    Sanctuary Spa body wash - a little bottle of this. I just have 5 more of the exact same one to get through now!

    Vitamin C eye reviver duo - there is still some left in this, but I think it's gone out of date, as around my eyes feels a tiny bit itchy after I put it on now. I don't think I'll buy it again. It didn't wow me, and I need to be wowed if I'm going to spend more than £10 on another one.

    Good point, I've never been stung either! Glad the bees aren't harmed, I got an awful sinking feeling in my stomach when I read the first line of your post
    Never say never
