    Finally UU Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Conditioner - I was sick to death of this a long time ago but persevered to the bitter end. I hated the sickly sweet fragrance

    Yet another item with rubbish packaging; the bottle is hard plastic and not squeezable and couldn't be stood on end due to the rounding on the cap. So I cut the flip top off the cap and tried standing it upside down but it leaked out and made a mess everywhere. :mad: Added annoyance of having to keep it lying on its side for ages, making the place look untidy.

    On the last spluttery bit I propped it up at 45 degrees angle, only to find it still had run all down the side of the shower - so it was an easy UU for me today to rinse out the bottle and be done with it forever and ever and ever!!

    And - I wondered about Rosemary too. Hope she is OK.

    tiffanyjayne - have a lovely day, hope you find the perfect dress.

    seasideDreamer - I love the Lush Dream Cream too, it's really the only product I buy from them but it does a good job on DD's eczema flare ups.

    Two uu to report

    Body Shop Carrot Moisture Cream - this was the kids moisturiser as we are are quite outdoorsy I like them to protect their skin against chapping in winter and then change to SPF in summer. They have moved onto a tube of Nivea Soft which they love the smell of.

    Elemis Pro Collagen Quartz Serum - 10ml - this lasted ages, it was quite runny and a bit sticky, I used it at night with a layer of PCMC night cream over the top and my skin does look nice and firm. WMBA

    Silica supplements or sea kelp can sometimes help too. :)

    Thank you! I have some silica already so might give that a try before buying anything else :)

    What's the BM flash sale please?

    Bought 3 Tarte items - concealer, blusher and lip gloss. The lip gloss was a set of 15. Eek! But they are only teeny!
