Would you ladies count a pallette as one item or many? Hmmm?

It's one. If you buy a palette on line it shows as one item in your basket, so who are we to argue wiry the wisdom of internet shopping?

At last!!! I have not one but two UUs. It's been a loooooooooooooong time coming, but at last we're here:

UU:
Imperial Leather Japanese Spa Shower Cream 500ml - like this and this was on offer in T*sco when I bought it. WBA, but I have a second one in my stash anyway!
Kempinski Snow Gardenia body lotion 50ml - I *think* this is my last one. It was the last one on my list anyway.... I liked this smell, but unless I return to a Kempinski hotel then I won't be getting another any time soon!

Hopefully I'll have more UUs soon...

UU no 12/ lush creamy candy bath bubble bar. Love this one although it's quite small and don't get many baths out of it WBA.

I'm nowhere near cured of my toiletries addiction but my ins are slowly decreasing as I feel bad about the amount of stuff I have, having it all on show now helps with that. Plus I think I've almost come to the limit of things I want to try out for myself.

UU

Radox refresh shower gel - WBA DH HG

Garnier Pure Active exfo brusher wash - WNBA a little watery and wasnt effective on my blemishes.

I think I am at the same stage as you:D, I have acres of products to use, the majority of the bath/shower/body lotion things have been gifts, the skin care I have bought myself, but I am finding what I like and what makes my skin look and feel good, and not looking to experiment too much now. Although I am not getting many UU's, I am happy at that as they are all things that I use long term and have been bought in a very :money: fashion (I do so love a bargain:D, all I need to do now is sort my clothes and shoe mountains - my lifestyle has changed and although I have outed most of the "office" clothes, I do need to look hard at what I do have and like to wear, on the shoe front - I have a very painful ankle problem and a lot of my sandals are not ideal (sigh):(:( Same applies to several pairs of lovely knee high boots, but will see what next winter brings, perhaps the pain will be under control by then!

UU's (at last)
75ml Hairspray, have a teeny bit in another can will need to replace in May.
15ml Merymaya Iconic Youth Serum, quite happy with this and WBA when serum needed.
15ml PCMC - HG, have loads more in stock.

I need help!! Keep filling my online shopping baskets with various beauty items. So far have managed to not spend. So many skincare items that I would like to try out but I am always scared to try anything new because my skin is so blemish prone.

It's so interesting how different things suit different people. I bought Nars Sheer Glow foundation on the back of loads of blogger raves about it but it just doesn't work on my skin. In contrast, I LOVE the Barry M matte foundation and this costs about 6 times less!

Oh my goodness you sound just like me!! I also keep filling online shopping baskets and even keep the tabs open on my laptop all the time. Who will help us with this bizarre behaviour lol?
In regards to the Nars Sheer Glow Foundation......it wasn't Lilypebbles and vivianna by any chance? Oh and don't forget Zoella and Tanya Burr used it in GRWM this week too!! Sounds like they reeled you right in Don't worry I'm not far behind you....it's in my SpaceNK basket as we speak but thankgod is out of stock in my shade lol. They must get paid by NARS to do this surely? Too much of a coincidence that suddenly everyone is bloody using it this week haha :rotfl:

Hi ladies. Have been catching up on the thread. Unfortunately no UUs to report this week - everything seems to have come to a grinding halt. Only item that is spluttering is a 30ml tube of C&P which I cut open last night.

Repainted my nails yesterday too and am wearing OPI Muir Muir on the Wall.

I keep the tabs open too Oh dear!!

Yep - was reeled in by them a while back, it seems to go in phases as they were all raving about it loads awhile ago too. I bought it back then and have barely used it as it goes all weird on my skin. The last time I wore it, it all separated out during the day. It looked terrible!!

I keep wanting to make a Sephora order too

ETA - I just noticed that Nars products are being raved about in a few other recent beauty blogger videos......suspicious!

Something else I find interesting is the prices and stock levels of some cosmetics in the UK compared to the US. For example, NARS seem to keep certain products as highly limited edition in this country but not in the US? Sephora still stock a number of limited edition palettes that we can no longer get in the UK and they are a lot cheaper. I guess it is about creating a frenzied market for there products.
