Roguey - the Neom Real Luxury scent is my absolute favourite! The Real Luxury body lotion will be a wishlist item once I'm through my body lotions I think you're doing really well with your UUs by the way. I daren't do a full count of things but I'm sure I'm well over 300 items. I think it's great to have an item in mind to celebrate a big milestone with. I bought a bottle of Ellie Saab perfume once I hit my first 100 UUs (back when I first started on the challenge. I lost that list when my old computer died so started again).

xxx Keep going, everyone! xxx

I've decided one of bath oils at 299, a body oil at 249, and at under 100 I will buy Chanel Coco shower gel and body lotion!

Roguey: Blimey - that's a lot of UUs! I never know how you guys get through products so fast! I take ages to get through one pot of moisturiser or a toothpaste or whatever. Perhaps I'm just too mean to lavish them on! It sound like you are doing well to me. (P.S. How is your mum? Sorry if you have mentioned earlier on in the thread, but there is just *toooooo* must to catch up with!)

There's a lot of minis and samples in there, and quite a few TA old makeup bits.
Mum is out of hospital and has been home for several weeks now. Other than that, it's difficult to tell. She's not particularly open with me and we live very far away. Thank you for asking though

Pure skin hand pack WMBA really liked it, very challenging to do anything whilst wearing the gloves ( probably need many pairs so that I can't order on line)

This made me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Oh Ladies I actually had a shock this morning: I thought my L'Or!al blur cream was half gone (because it felt like it) so I cut it open. Guess what? There's still so much product in in, I could use it until Christmas..

Dazedandconfused

I bought another bottle of foundation off ebay bargain £3 inc postage from someone who bought it and it was too pale for them.

Bargain

I have UU my dry hair shampoo must get more I love the batiste tropical one.

Ladies I am in a quandary, and probably as a direct result of this thread!

I am about to graduate (woohoo!) in shampoo. Now this would normally be a cause for celebration, but here lies my dilemma.

Before my enlightenment, I would have just gone and bought any old shampoo, not bothered if it was rubbish and just bought another one.

Now, I obviously want to make sure my purchase is the best one so that I do not waste it!

What shampoo do you ladies recommend for fine, flat hair that lacks a bit of oomph? Ideally I would love to purchase Kerastase Densifique but don't want to splash out too much!

I'm going to take an executive decision and keep aside a small cleansing balm, toner and 2x small Elemis moisturisers as a 'travel' kit. So technically my 'stash' will have gone down a little, but I feel it's important to keep these aside

Means I am almost out of cleansers now too - my Elemis cream cleanser isn't great at taking off waterproof mascara

TBH we were thinking about a proper Norweigian cruise as well, but next year not 2016, blokie said he can't plan 2 whole diaries ahead which is fair enough, I can't be bothered waiting that long either!

Though it is nice to think he also thinks we'll still be together then, it was our 5 month anniversary yesterday, he's away for this one and away for the next so we're going to mark the night we met instead as we'll be on hols in Weymouth then :D:D:D:D

We are only thinking that far ahead cos we have Disney World booked for next year already!

It is lovely that you are both making plans for next year too.

It's my Wedding Anniversary tomorrow and we will have been married 22 years.

I have some minis that I've put aside too for our trip to the Lake District in December.

Another UU ladies: 5ml Decleor Hydra Floral. I liked the effect this had on my skin (same as my fave LE Skin Repair ). I liked that the texture was lighter than LE (similar to PCMC) but really didn't like the fragrance. Way too floral for me. So WNBA.

Have had quite a good run of UUs this month so no doubt next month it will slow down.

I repainted my nails last night too and am now wearing one of my absolute favourites : OPI Royal Rajah Ruby.

Have a great day everyone. x

I have fine hair and like the Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo followed by the Moisture Balance Conditioner.

I have three more uu

Molton Brown Yuan Zhi Bath & Shower Gel 50ml, WNBA nothing special about this scent.

Avon Far Away Shower Gel 50ml, WBA.

Ren Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask, 15ml, WBA but already have another 15ml and a full size. I think I got 5 applications from this little tube so it does last a while making it a bit more :money:.

fed up as managed to knock over a fav ornament whilst hovering and smash its head off
then DH called to say he is not coming home tonight so more mince for me(had large portion last night from meal made expecting him to be here)
saw the Vulcan bomber fly low over my garden...awesome (flight to celebrate 25 years since Berlin wall came down)
at my lovely facial yesterday the therapist recommended elemis exotic cream to use once a week, did not buy any as thought there was a mini in my stash(there wasn't)THEN timetospa sent me a 20% off code plus free delivery so just had to buy it!!!!it is listed as a mask but she said use as a night cream weekly and leave in for dry skin. The facial was elemis quartz anti ageing firming and my skin feels great today plus it was very relaxing.


timetospacode SP2309XJ got it yesterday only valid 48 hours don't think its a use once only
