UU the pomegranate shower gel- half a bottle of it in DS (7) bath gave him a bubble mountain! He was very happy in his bubble mountain having a candle lit bedtime story in the bath (he has joint hyper mobility syndrome so warm baths are very soothing and winds him down).

Ladies- consensus of opinion please. Free cosmetics on magazines can't count as buying surely? After all I'm only paying for the magazine not the cosmetics surely...

I count them as In's but with significantly less guilt than if I'd bought it alone I don't buy magazines very often though so more likely that I'd bought it for the cosmetics and considered it a free magazine!

I only buy the magazines for the freebie- so I guess it's a low guilt in then!

Really I prefer elf to mua I think. I love their blush stick and concealer powder for the money and I don't have a palette but I had a single eye shadow which I can't find (very annoying) and that was nearly as nice as the higher end stuff I have tried.

Maybe the singles are better than the palettes.

My sig. advocates not hanging on to good things, but I've bought an Aldi roll - on anti-persp for the princely sum of 59p so that I can put my 2/3rds empty Mitchum one to one side for my holiday next month.

I always get the Mitchum roll ons when they are £1 in Savers or Wilko's but I didn't see them at this price the other day, so thought I'd give the Aldi one a go. Extreme MS, yes, but it all helps. Hopefully. Reviews seem to suggest the Aldi deos are good but they take a while to dry.

So does Mitchum. I tend to put this on first, then do body lotion, feet lotion and facial stuff before putting any clothes on my top half.

I really don't like aldi deo. I always get Nivea roll ones but get tons when they are on offer at £1 and also soap and glory spray but always get that as part of a gift set or on 3 for 2

Oh well, for 59p it was worth a try - haven't tried it yet.

Right, my first ever PP list

Only doing 5 items as this is hard for me!

1/ Clinique take the day off for lashes and lips 30ml

2/ elemis pro collagen night cream 15ml

3/ Marc Jacobs dot: I've decanted some of this into an atomiser so it's this I plan to UU

4/ fcuk body butter 50ml

5/ ted baker body scrub 50ml

Some more UU but I sense this month is going to be a slow slog:

Blanx toothpaste sample size - WNBA did the job but nothing spectacular to justify the price.

Lush bath bomb - unsure which one (1 should get them labelled) - wasnt keen on the fragrance so probably WNBA

Kleenex facial cloths - first from the PP list. WNBA the cotton wool feel made me wither. They havent taken that long to use so I dont know why I just didnt grin and bare it 6 months ago rather than stashing them.

I dont include polish in the stash but have some lovely new pretties courtesy of the A England recent offer.

I can see why people don't like They're Real but I personally love it. I wipe a lot of the excess product off the wand and then apply quite lightly.

I also like the MUA naked dupe palettes although I do own the naked palettes also. Keep looking at the Lorac Pro palette and Smashbox full exposure one but I am not going to buy either of them - I have enough eyeshadow to last me a life time.

Kadison I bought a few of those Elf palettes in the sale. Not tried them yet. Might swatch them this week to see whether I want to keep them or not.

I was in Boots at the weekend and couldn't believe it when I saw 2 very young girls (probably 8-10 years old) looking at make up and talking about there not being any pigment in an eyeshadow! I could tell that they were fans of reading beauty blogs! I remember when I used to buy eyeshadow based on what it just looked like in the pan - I didn't have a clue what pigment or a swatch was :rotfl:
