    Posting in advance of a UU, will be done tonight when I go to bed - Olay under eye serum, bought a 'few years ago' when Tosco were doing DTD, so that shows how long ago :o but only opened recently. As it was better than free :D WBA at that price ;) otherwise ok so MBA.
    In the meantime I had an Aldi eye serum to try, heard good things so keeping my fingers crossed.

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend :)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    TA - Botanics – 'All Bright' Hydrating Day Cream
    Chucking this out as it seems to smell a little funky =/ Might buy again but prefer other moisturisers.
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.

    Declaring 3 INS - totally not my fault that shop had 3 for 2 on Indeed Labs products and I was so utterly excited to see them here for the first time. So I have: Hydraluron, Retinol Reface and Pepta-bright. So very tempted to get some more whilst its offer or before it goes away but sitting firmly on my purse and hands for the timebeing.

    I forgot to say that although I have several SV's that I will use, I have switched allegiance to Nails Inc Caviar Top Coat, I think it may not have quite the high shine of SV (not done a comparison), but it dries just as quickly and does not seem to thicken until way down the bottle. I too like Posche, but have not found it so readily available for some reason, Dolly where do you source yours please?. Still not tried any Essie ones, although I have a few of their polishes, but it bugs me a little that some of them need too many coats to achieve bottle colour. My early OPI's were the same, so perhaps the Essie are better now too.:)

    I bought mine from Amazon and I believe at the time it was cheaper than Seche but then the price of Seche on Amazon really came down so I bought that.

    I got very itchy skin when I was pregnant, if it doesn't settle quickly mention it to your midwife.

    UUs: Mitchell & Peach English Growers Body Cream - Received in Beauty Box - WNB - Vey watery and not moisturising enough.

    Superdrug Vit E hot cloth cleanser - Would only buy again if it's on special offer as I didn't enjoy it as much as the Natural Radiant version. I have one more to use up.

    Perspirex deodorant: WNBA - Was very harsh on my skin and not very good at preventing excess sweating.

    TA: MUA bronze eyeshadow. Had to throw it away as it crumbled to pieces and spilt when I dropped it on the floor. WMBA as it's quite good for the price.

    Ins: Sleek Natural cover liquid foundation - Was looking for a replacement for my BB cream on ebay and came across this product at half the price so will give it a try.

    Anhydrol forte deodorant.

    They used to sell it when I was a rep about 10-12 years ago so not sure if they still sell it.


    Went into B**ts today to pick up a prescription and only bought some toothpaste. Did check on the clearance but nothing worth having. Picked up the magazine and I've just been flicking through it and it looks like you can get LE in there as it has the price and then how many points you need to buy it. Has anyone else heard that they are going to be stocking it or knew they were?


    One quick question. Can anyone recommend a generic shampoo. When I say generic I mean one that hubby can still use as obviously to him it's just shampoo. The only reason I'm asking is that I have been using an alberto balsam one to use up the couple of odd conditioners I have left over and it doesn't seem to be doing anything for my hair. I noticed today that B**ts have 342 on haircare and didn't know if there was anything worth getting from there.
    Did owe £9,951.96

    Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

    Two Uu's to declare
    Body Shop satsuma shower gel, this has a lovely summery scent and was lovely to use, it also lasted for ages, wba
    Gok body butter, this had been in the stash since the Christmas before last, it smells gorgeous and was very moisturizing,

    Lyndseydee Liz Earle is available in some selected branches of Boots, I usually get my supply of the LE hair oil from the Belfast branch.

    Happy pampering xo
