bought a 90 ml bottle of opium perfume on holiday at good price but missed some Ma Griffe on one of the online sites as was no longer available when I got home

Oh Ma Griffe takes me back, that was my late Mum's favourite perfume

Nice to see you back Rosemary, a lot of people were wondering where you'd got to! x

Sneaking in with one last OUT for March.

UU #54: Dove Original Cream Bar 100g; HG, replaced with same from stash.

Hi ladies, before I catch up with the thread.....

Would anyone like a Rimmel stay matte primer? Used once and my skin really did not like it. The bottle is a bit grubby as it has been in my make up bag (damn collection concealer - the writing always rubs off on it onto my other products) but apart from that it's new. Bought a few weeks ago and just used once.

Would rather send it to someone who will use it. Please pm me if you would like this and I will pop it in the post to you.

Will post this on the April thread too incase people miss this.

Evening ladies
Some ins to declare

Clinique cleansing balm
Clinique liquid face soap
And a tin of clinique freebies which I haven't investigated yet

Happy pampering xo

Hello ladies,
I haven't posted for a while as it's been slow on the UU front, but I've been avidly following you all as usual.
Ending the month with 3 UU and 1 IN

UU
No.7 tinted moisturiser 10ml in medium - really liked this, probably a shade too dark for me but I have a fair tube in the stash
Dove deodorant - compact aerosol - invisible dry - now summer is coming, will replace with roll on as find these more effective
Soap and glory shower gel - clean on me - 500ml - this went on FOREVER and I got bored of it in the end. WNB but would use if gifted.

IN:
Dove roll on deodorant invisible dry to replace above - necessary in.

Well done everyone! I'm not going to have much money next month so looking for absolutely no uNecessary ins

America, they have Amazonian Clay in them dontcha know?!

I've been pretty low this week and when my self esteem is low I end up buying make up because I think perhaps this will be the HG that makes me feel better about myself. Probably explains why I have so much of it!

Also, it's my birthday next week and my Dad has given me money so I bought the items with that. Pees me off that I had to pay so many separate P&P charges, though and they're being sent second class post too! :mad:

I know what you mean clutterfree - I buy when make up when I feel down too. I really want to try the Tarte stuff, would love to hear how you get on. Enjoy your birthday (and the presents!)

I have decided I *need* to try glycolic acid as my chin is so blimmin' congested, it's really getting me down

I know a few of you have used Pixi Glow, is it worthy of the hype? I've also been lookin at the Mario Badescu toner and the Nip & Fab Glycolic pads, does anyone have any experience with these?

Happy Mummy's Day to all those with little uns, big uns, step uns etc. I hope you're all being pampered! xx

I am struggling with my skin too at the moment. Just can't seem to clear it up. Let me know how you get on with the exfoliating toners. I tried the REN one and really didn't get on with it. Tried the Pixi Glow for a few days as had a sample - didn't notice a massive difference but didn't make my skin worse like the REN did.

They look lovely - perfect sparkle for the spring.

There are so many beautiful polishes around at the moment - I cannot get enough.

Good luck with the list - I find it hard enough to keep my book up to date - I must invest in a modern phone as I believe there is an app to catalogue which would be great as im sure I have a lot of dupes in my collection.

What's this app called? I need it!!

Love seeing all the nail polish collections and hearing what people have. Keep them coming!!

Welcome back Rosemary good to see you. Hope you had a great holiday.

I haven't seen evilsquid for a while either. Hope she's ok.

I had an end-of-the-month-cold-turkey-from-tomorrow panic trio to boots

IN: botanics mattifying cleansing mousse
Colgate max white one toothpaste
Boots tea tree and witch hazel peel off mask
Garner miracle skin cream
Aussie 3 min miracle light mega treatment mousse (in clearance)
Tea tree and witch hazel blemish stick
Botanics shine away clay mask
Botanics mattifying gel cream
Tea tree and witch axel spot wand
Maybelline baby skin primer

I did also buy soltan dry touch sun cream as feels brill on and was half price but this is for everyone and it's not something I stash

Hi ladies,
Hope you're all well.
We'll come back Rosemary, hope you had a lovely holiday. Happy birthdays to all I've missed.
Some last UUs for the month:

Hello kitty liberty art fabrics body scrub 50ml. This was rather useless, not very scrubby at all. I think I have another sadly bigger tub in the stash.

Lush candy cane soap chunk. Lovely, WBA.

TBS wild cherry soap. Also lovely, WBA, but sadly can't. Pink candle item.

Sanctuary body scrub 50ml. I haven't made a fair assessment of this yet, as darling OH used most of it on his face??! I have replaced with a 200ml bottle of the same. I should get a go of this one!

That makes 16 UU for March! And no bought INs :j yippee!

One out to mam as part of her Mother's Day gift: L'Occitane Shea butter hand cream 10ml.

I do have one tiny freebie in though, a tiny vial sample of dolce and gabbana- dolce, so all in all I think March was a success! I can definately see progress here!

I need a primer but sadly rimmel upsets my eyes and makes me squint
