    Just been catching up on the thread
    dolly - belated birthday wishes

    I have 2 INs but free :money:from the E & C hand cream amnesty. My BF had one empty tube and almost gave the game away when joking with the SA 'oh yes I use it all the time' :o anyway, nice freebie, certainly wouldn't pay £5 for it though!:eek:
    Beautiful day today and more is expected, about time :D

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    UU cosmetic warrior face mask from lush- WMBA used due to congested skin at the minute... Skin feels lovely afterwards...

    Lush fun - orange - again DD fell out of love with this so I used it for bubbles as I think these smell like plasticine - WNBA

    Thermamed electric toothbrush toothpaste - was ok, wouldnt go out of my way to repurchase but would happily use again at the 30p clearance price I paid.

    Lush unknown bubble bar - WMBA - my bubble bar stocks are looking the worse for wear as DD prefers ballistics so I am attempting to actively use them before they are wasted.

    TA

    Lush hand and body lotion charity pot - WNBA hated the smell.
    No more buying toiletries

    Dolly, very belated birthday greetings and sorry that I missed it.

    UU of Avon Naturals Cranberry and Cinnamon Hand and Body Lotion 200ml
    WIBA? Yeah, one in stash, it's lovely but... it's such a seasonal Christmassy smell.
    I am going to decant my remaining matching shower gel into a smaller bottle and put it aside for Christmas this year to use with the stashed bottle of lotion.

    If Avon do the shower gel again this year it's a 400ml bottle and it takes forever to use up with a body puff.
    It's such a nice scent and I don't want to make myself sick of it.

    Re: Shiny bits

    Have you tried a primer? I have a friend who's a shiny person and she uses the clinique pore minimiser one...you'd never know she was a shiny person! Sometimes she just wears the primer instead of base. It's quite sheer though.

    Thanks luvlycake, I do use a primer but still end up shiny after a long day. The Clinique one used to be my HG but then I started to find it congested my skin as it's quite silicone-y. I switched to No7 and find it much better, but still end up shiny at the end of a day at work, so def need something to see me through the evening on my wedding day :)

    Sorry for all the posts :o just been catching up!

    sam4000 - wow you've been busy with all your UUs!

    I have a UU:

    48. TBS Almond Hand & Nail Cream 30ml - this was a freebie and whilst I loved the scent I WNBA as found it greasier than some of the others in this range (and I have sooo many hand cream anyway, I can't imagine every needing to buy!). Two of these alone left in stash :o

    Going to exercise some restraint and not swap this in the C&E amnesty - think I'm making progress!
