    Thanks maddiemay. Where did you manage to get samples please? I would prefer to try before I buy! :p

    Welcome back smartcat, lovely news about your baby.

    I have two uu

    Ren Mayblossom Balancing Cleansing Gel 25ml - WNBA, it smells nice and is OK but I prefer their clay cleanser.

    In again! And my first UU of May this morning, the Aldi Lacura Multi Intensive Serum - Aqua, WBA as it worked really well, was really cheap and I thought the glass packaging was really nice! No Aldi anywhere near me unfortunately so probably won't get the chance!

    Now for my first ever Project Pan
    Lush Hand Balm
    Origins Make A Difference + Rejuvenating Treatment Lotion
    REN Clearcalm 3 Replenishing Night Serum
    Soap & Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel
    Kiss My Face Sunscreen Factor 30 (but of a cheat because I've just cut this open so I know it's on the way out!)
    Montagne Jeunesse face mask sachet
    No more goo hoarding!

    My 8 year old DD is back from a 2 day residential today and Im so excited ive missed her so much. (Sad but true).
    Have a hairdressers appointment in an hour for a much needed colour and eyebrow tame - I will feel human again after this.

    This morning UU:

    Another 7 days of Elemis bliss capsules - WBA

    Clarins extra firming foundation in nude - WMBA this matches my skin better than the EL doublewear in cool bone but doesnt have enough coverage when my skin is at its worse.

    Hotel sample of bath and shower gel - I used this as bubble bath - it was OK but wouldnt repurchase.

    Hello everyone! I've just caught up with last months thread, and I'm back for another. I've decided to limit myself to a £10 spend per week. I realise that this is still spending, but I reckon that if I just go cold turkey I'll last about 3 days! I have 5 ins, but they're all freebie sachets.
    1.Loccitane divine cream 1.5ml.
    2. Omorovicza facial polisher 2ml.
    3. "" hydralifting cream "".
    4. "" balancing moisturiser "".
    5. "" gold night drops "".

    Have had a quick look at how much this stuff is - 30ml of the night drops is 185, 50ml of the moisturiser is 85, 50ml of the cream is 130 and 100ml of the polisher is 65! Mad! xxx

    Another surprise out! Dove Body lotion that I keep in my gym bag. Was surprised how much I liked this, I only picked it up because I was at the supermarket and it was on offer and I wanted a body lotion for the gym. Felt very moisturising. WBA.

    A!di's body lotions are lookey and feely-likies of 2 of the Dove range, the other one copies Nivea.
    When I have used up the body care stash, the A!di anti-ageing lotion will be my regular one. £1.64 for 500ml.

    Have a look at this. Slightly mixed reviews but on the other hand, they are £1!
