    UU no 8/ elemis pro collagen cleansing balm 20g. I didn't love this product, nor did I hate it but it's not a patch on EH balm.

    I wouldn't buy it individually but as it's often part of elemis sets, I've got at least one more if not two, in the stash

    Good morning ladies, lovely and sunny here, a pottering day in the garden planned, some work on the borders and lots of sitting about too I hope.

    Have IN's to add to totals, none really unnecessary though:D

    125ml Paul Mitchell Extra Body Finishing Spray, expensive, but should last me ages, I only use 2 or 3 of the 75ml Elnett ones each year.

    40ml La Roche Posay Cicaplast Pro recovery cream - problems with eczema again and this has been recommended to me.

    4.8g Ultrasun spf30 Lip Balm, very necessary as I already have some sun damage in this area:(

    1 UU 75ml Elnett Flexible hairspray.

    I am booked in for coloured highlights in my hair again on Tuesday, had pink last time and loved it, not sure whether to try purple this time, it will probably be a decision made when I get there:D

    There's a space on the naughty step with my name on it - I have totally stuffed up my UU rate for the year to date after getting desperate to try something else to try and soothe my itchy scalp, I just ordered a Kerastase Dermo-Calm Shampoo and Mask Duo with 25% off from L**k Fantastic.


    Except it didn't stop there, as I bunged a little Caudalie Beauty Elixir (love that stuff) into the bag, so that I could get this weekends freebie Gatineau Discovery kit :eek:


    I'll count them when they arrive.

    I got up and planned a trip to the shops this morning as I lost my waterproof mascara, wanted a body spray to freshen up at work, and burnt my arm last week so wanted to get some bio oil type stuff to minimise the scar. Thought before I set off I should check stocks in the garage. Suprisingly I found everything in my stash. I'd just bought them and forgotten I had them!

    Hola Beauty Queens :wave:

    UU #104: Radox Essentials Handwash with Milk 300ml; WMBA, nice enough and non-drying.

    This leaves me with just TWO handwashes left in my stash; I'm sure I had at least a dozen at the start of the year. I'm bigging this up and calling it progress because I'm wavering I'm likely to dash to Boots before it closes and have a splurge, I am in a DD-induced bad mood :mad: :cry:

    Hi everyone!


    Reading and running I'm afraid...


    2 UUs: Corsodyl Daily and T BS Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream.


    WIBA? Have both in my stash. This is Good Stashing...stocking up on HGs when they are cheap.


    Hope you are all well. Will catch up when I can.x

    Hope you're ok Fizzwhizz and that you managed to resist Boots! I am craving a splurge on toiletries too.

    Some lovely wins there tiffanyjane

    maddiemay love the sound of pink or purple highlights. I would love to dye my hair a pale violet colour all over!

    Have only recently tried Essie nail polishes and am really impressed. Managed to get 5 days wear on my fingernails before it started chipping. Going to repaint tonight but not sure what to choose yet.

    Thanks KT, without waffling too much (no mean feat for me!) DD has really let me down, lying, conniving and throwing a house party at her dad's last night when she was supposed to be staying with a friend so I could collect her this morning. My second BFF called me at 11pm last night to let me know there was really loud music, kids smoking god knows what and p!ssed people all over their street :( I should point out, DD is only 15! I am steaming and SO disappointed in her, she has always been the sort of kid who says "yes mum, you're right mum" and then does whatever you've advised against regardless but this takes the biscuit. Hence I spent this morning mopping floors, washing bedding and doing a LOT of shouting in my ex-husband's house. We live in the West Mids and she and her dad are in Wales so added to 4 hours of driving there and back, I am not a ray of sunshine today!

    But on a less whingey note, I didn't go to Boots, just drank a huge cider instead ;)
