Jealous! Have a great trip.

More hugs from me, emsjune, I must have missed your original post.

I can't remember when my skin was last this bad I don't know if it's chopping and changing moisturisers (had lots of half used pots to finish) or whether it's The Ultimelt which is to blame but my chin is uber congested and I have two whopping spots, right beside my lips Time to get back to basics, maybe?

Have any of you posted a barefaced selfie on FB?

I tend to use one moisturiser every other day, and then a using up one on the other days (does that makes sense). Stops my skin getting too grumpy.

Thanks for the top tip (I understand )! I went back to my "old" usual day cream yesterday but it just feels blah after the joy of a 50ml pot of Elemis PCMC, none of the other UU I have ploughed through in recent weeks can hold a candle to it. My night cream is spluttering too, so I will most likely be in the market for a combo next month. It definitely needs to be cheap though, after last weekend's splurge my washing machine decided to pack up so I'm £400 down before I even start. Suggestions for dry skin, anyone?

But after all that waffle, I really think it was the Ultimelt to blame, I went back to Peaches & Clean and after the first wash I swear I heard my face sigh with relief It'll take a while for the congestion to clear but I feel like I'm on the right track already.

3. Philosophy Pure Grace body lotion

I think my UUs may slow down this month because last month I used a lot of skin care mini sizes and my skin did not thank me for the chopping and changing.

3 more UUs from my PP list.

Ted Baker spray - like the fragrance, wouldn't go out of way to buy on its own but if it was in a bargain set in the sale or a present I would happily use.

Ted Baker body lotion - as above

Jo Malone Pomegranate Noir - love this bit it is soooo expensive.

Still have 3 items left on PP list, one is a splutterer but the other 2 I think unlikely to finish this month.

Evening all

Hope everyone is well and just a gentle reminder we get 1 hr less pamper time this weekend boo bah humbug:o

2 UUs to report

Garnier 48hr deo spray WBA smells pleasant does the job as the meercats would say SIMPLES

Ted Baker spray body mist WBA quite a nice smell for quick top ups very floral plenty of different perfumes/bodysprays to wade through first mind you.

3 Ins

While not essential i was in the mood to get some smellies i think i spend more time opening bubble baths and sniffing inside, than time at the checkout. Sale assistants do tend to look at me weird regularly but why would you buy something that smells horrid.

Radox Muscle therapy black pepper & ginseng
Soft & Gentle Jasmine & Coco Milk Spray deo
Colgate Max Fresh Cooling Crystals Tooth paste

Happy bubbles all

Only natural to think of our Mums this week, with Mother's Day products everywhere. My Mum died aged 67 in 1991. (Leukaemia, so cancer again.)
One of the few blessings of getting married very young (18) was the fact that my children were able to have a relationship with their Nan - Mum was 33 when I was born, so they could easily have missed out.

Having cut open my Lacura Hydro Urea foot cream, there was at least 2-3 days product lurking in the bottom... Still no UUs.
A!di £5 voucher day in the Mirror tomorrow, so I will have to steel myself against adding any toiletries to the trolley to make up my £40 spend.

March has been a really slow month... A couple of INs to declare:

Facial Cleansing wipes (also an OUT)
Energise soap

OUTs:

3 sachets of manuka honey face bits
Rescue Oil (a knock off of bio oil really)
Garnier Minerals deodourant

I have had a slow month for UUs and don't think I'll get much else by the end of the month, although I have quite a few things on the go at the moment, which will give me a good run next month.

We went today, I spent £90 and there was not a single toiletry in there :eek: One of the many joys of being a family of seven!

Hugs to everyone that needs them

I have 2 INS via the O2 moments, sent BF to Neals Yard for the free moisturiser with both our phones. OMG got a complete jobsworth as it was 1 per person, only I was in the car outside the shop!!! :mad: Eventually she gave him the two after the manager got involved, doubt I'd set in foot in there again, unless I was getting something free!! :rotfl:
