    Some mark hill intensive hair conditioner and no 7 melting gel cleanser still sputtering so hopefully some UU soon so I can open fresh products all at the same time in shower..

    Not long till champneys shower scrub sputters on either ...
  • Some UU

    Evening ladies. I am still going this month. Did have a UU - L'Oreal liquid foundation. Already had a replacement for it.

    Also picked up 2 Glamour mags - so Ins are a model inc mascara and eye liner.

    Should have another UU in my shower gel soon. Also I am going to have a rethink on my PP list. I am struggling to get through most so will change it up a little.

    UU Eyeslix Instant Eye Rescue Cream - after all the hype I managed to persuade someone to bring me this back from the UK last year, as can't buy it here. It has lasted for ages and I have used it twice a day, almost every single day for several months and have not seen any evidence of 'Instant Rescue'; the lines, bags and black circles are still there. :eek:


    Quite honestly wonder why I bothered to carry on with it. I'm sure any other moisturising cream would do the same job and absolutely no way would I go out of my way to get it again.


    Also sadly gone but not forgotten Body Shop Ginger Sparkle Shower Gel 60ml a Christmas treat to myself I had been eking this out very sparingly to make it last - I just love the smell of it.

    I went into town yesterday and picked up my Body Shop birthday gift, I got a Peppermint foot lotion and a Chocomania shower gel, both 60ml sizes one was £3 and the other £2, when I got to the till she said they are 3 for 2 and with my 10% off came under £5 so the till wouldn't do the birthday gift. I added in a giant bath lilly and ended up paying 40p cash. Not sure I got it all right but I find their deals confusing as you don't know about them till you get to the blooming till.

    Anyway I added the lilly because I just didn't want another shower gel or body lotion, I have so many it will take me years to use them, I am going to let DD take the chocolate shower gel on her residential next month.

    Birthday today but no toiletry ins at all - :jon one hand :( on the other hand.

    I wandered into lush yesterday to get one final touch for my sisters birthday present. I picked up a tub of Mint Julips lip scrub for myself. I was intrigued by this, but have to say, I was a little bit disappointed to get home and realise I've spent £5.50 on around 2tbsp of sugar in jojoba oil with mint flavouring! But on the other hand, I have a nice little tub to use if I choose to make my own afterwards...

    2 ins. 1 planned: no 7 cleansing water bought with £5 off voucher I like using this at night but I'd never pay full price.

    Unplanned: dr nick Lowe the secret is out night cream. I got one of these in clearance the other week for £5. I LOVE it! This one was £10 this time but it's £31 on amazon!

    Annoyed though as I had a threshold spend coupon that I used but I didn't get the extra points but only noticed after I'd left the shop
