UU - Clarins – Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch *
Lovely small sample thing. Loved the way it made my skin feel. Probably too expensive if I bought it myself as opposed to getting it as a GWP.

UU - Benefit – Benetint *
One of my favorite products. I only ever use it on my lips not my cheeks as I have some kind of weird issue with putting wet things on my cheeks but I love love love this for the bee stung lip effect.

UU - Hugo Boss – Jour pour Femme *
Sample from who knows where. My OH doesn't like this one but I think it's quite classy. Lasts a long time too.

double post! Whoops...

I have a UU and a TA to report

The UU is a L'Oreal Super Liner Perfect Slim. WDBA. This may be my HG felt liner and it lasted for ages. For now it has been replaced with another liner that came in a beauty box. It's ok so far...

The TA is Sue Devitt Triple C-Weed Pressed Powder. I feel a bit bad about this but I'm having a 'life's too short' moment! I can't get this to work with my skin. It has ruined my make-up a few times! It's really powdery and makes my pores look worse than they are. I've tried it alone, as a finishing powder, sprayed with setting spray, over different moisturisers. I'm giving up :rotfl: It was a cheap buy from TKMaxx but I still feel bad about chucking it. But it's no good! GONE!!

ETA I've just collected all of my REN samples up and have swapped some into use. I'd be really sad if these went off so am prioritising them. (I'm in the mood for sorting things out today!)

Congrats from me to Pickle too :j:j:j

Trudi, what were you doing awake at such an ungodly time? hope everything well with you et al.

I have really slipped backwards in the last couple of weeks, this coupled with an angry and sore allergy type rash on my face meaning that I can hardly use any of my facial stuff (and the reason for buying more gentle things) means that I will not graduate in skincare for years and years:(

Think I need to do some lists, back later with confessions:o

Aww, thanks Maddie - we are fine, I'd been up with one of the dogs needing to go out, and just thought I'd pop on while I was waiting for her to come in!!
We are fine thanks, got another midwife appointment tomorrow not one bit looking forward to being weighed again (no change there!!) I had lost a stone and a half before I got pregnant (to ride my horse, not to get pregnant, wasn't even with the bloke then!!) so putting all this weight on is a bit gutting really - I know that's selfish, but when I was doing so well it's quite a bitter pill !!!!

No ins outs or anything today

I have a uu

Clarins Multi Active Night Cream 30ml - WBA, have been using this on and off for many years (not this tube), it is lovely.

Also used a sample of Georgio Armani Si, probably WNB it was OK but nothing distinctive, I find you get some perfumes which stand out from the crowd (for me that is Eternity, Paris, Chloe and a few others) the rest all smell very similar.

VALM

Another UU: full sized tube of Soap & Glory Scrub of your Life. This was a gift. I personally wouldnot buy this as I prefer the tubs of scrub. Would buy it in tub format though. x

Hello all and well done InaPickle for graduating! :beer:
I am just back from Norway, I went out there for the weekend while blokie is there on business for two weeks (he flies back on Friday night), needless to say *not going to start gushing* it was fab, the weather on Saturday was a bit *meh* but it was a lovely weekend and our first trip abroad

A new UU

Bioderma Hydrabio Serum –!WMBA, did the job. Trying out something new so we will see which I prefer.

hieveryone

A UU -

Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm 20g - WMBA if as part of a set. There are just-as-good balm cleansers which are cheaper on the market. Tempted to keep one of my little balms for holidays/weekends away -
