    I have a couple of uu

    Ren Vita Mineral Day Cream 3ml - This is really nice and I have two 15ml tubes which I will be getting straight on with.

    Molton Brown Warming Eucalyptus Bath & Shower Gel 50ml, this is my favourite of their scents, I use when I feel stuffy in the shower and it is lovely, I have never used it in the bath but imagine it would be lovely.

    Hi ladies.
    Sorry I'm late, I'm in again of course.

    3x TAs:
    Mini benefit they're real mascara
    Soap and Glory (I can't remember the name) mascara full size
    Both have been open for a ridiculously long time and needed throwing away.
    Mini REN day cream 15ml, I lost the lid to this ages ago, but kept it. Decided it was probably no good to use. I am currently using up another one of these minis. It's a lovely light cream!

    UU:
    Avon advance techniques argan oil conditioner 250ml. WBA. I have another two in the stash.
    Lush snow fairy 100g. I believe that's all my mini snow fairies used up now. I buy so much if it in the Lush sale, I may have slightly sickened myself. Maybe I'll just get one mini this year...

    Hope everyone has a good Friday!

    Thank you maddiemay, city_girl and Willowbee for sending positive bathroom vibes my way! I'm sure it will be fabulous once finished but at the moment I can't imagine that time ever coming!

    Willowbee I do hope you're feeling better.

    It's been a busy week so I have a few UUs to report now:

    5/245. Joico K-Pak Shampoo 50ml - WMBA if on a great deal again, has left my hair looking and feeling great but way too pricey for an everyday spend IMO.

    6/246. Joico K-Pak Conditioner 50ml - as above.

    7/247. Sanctuary Relax Coccooning Body Butter 100ml - WDBA, love everything about this, lots more stashed!

    8/248. Sanctuary Luxury Bath Float 75ml - WNB, this came in a gift set and was lovely but I repurposed as shower gel.

    Sooo glad it's Friday - happy weekend ladies!

    I actually got two emails with different codes so got 6 freebies in total but one poor friend didn,t get her email so I got in touch with Occitanne and they said they would resend but never appeared :(

    I've just dropped a grumble note to customer services, will see if anything comes of it.

    I have two UU: Original source shower gel lemon and tea tree shower gel 250ml. I bought a case of these and a case of the mint shower gel from costco so still have another five of each. LOVE Original source though, it's rapidly becoming an HG. I get through the bottles fairly quickly but it's vegan, relatively natural and so cheap I just can't feel guilty about it.

    Body shop mint roll on 10ml - I think this is supposed to be a lip balm but it isn't moisturising at all and made my lips more dry. I don't like the taste and know that I bought this more than four years ago (I remember buying it during a shopping trip for bridesmaid dresses for my friend's wedding. I was so aggravated with her that I just went on a spending spree). Life's too short so TA.

    Had a look around my products and think I am about to hit a UU run, watch this space.

    An IN - A!di Carino Natural Light Brown Hair Colour; they appear to have restocked with the hair colours in my store at the moment and this one always goes quickly.
    The cheaper range of shower gels (lavender, fruity, bamboo, sea minerals) are down to 33p for 300ml atm. Not in the slightest bit tempted - there was a time when I'd have probably bought two or three of those.

    Don't think I've been on this thread for this month yet :o
    I have an IN - body butter to trial for Bo0ts, smells of rosewater and pleasant so far.
    1 x OUT too :) shower gel at BF's finished during the week, so decanted a mixture of cream bubble bath and lavender bubble bath into the large pump bottle that I recycle and fill back up again for a pale blue shower gel :D

    Also cut the end off a body lotion but that has been relegated while I use the B00ts body butter trial
    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.

    I have a uu

    Elemis Pro Radiance Hand Cream 20ml - I have a ton of these and a couple of full sizes too, I do really like it though so WBA. I have replaced it with a Neutrogena Nordic Berry hand cream for now.

    Hello everyone! :wave:


    So I have another UU: TBS Vitamin E Illuminating Moisture Cream.


    WIBA? I have another one I bought awaiting me (I'll be going to my local Body Shop outlet to sock up on more soon - it's -40% if I buy 4 items, and I bulk bought it last time). It's not bad. I'd like to make my own, but I need to find someone who makes decent base creams. (Or learn to make my own!)
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    Hola Beauty Queens :wave:

    Firstly, thank you for all the commiserations regarding silly beaches and wing mirrors, I'm still waiting for the repair people to contact me to get it replaced, after speaking to my insurers they have assured me it's "no fault" (no sheet Sherlock, given I wasn't even in the car at the time) and I won't lose my no claims even if she disputes it. Despite this I'm sure my premium will increase when I have to renew my insurance next month :(

    I have had a few INs and OUTs of late, but haven't kept track :( so I think I will be joining the "recounters" amongst us. I have taken on a new client so I'm working five days a week now, in between the paid stuff and looking after my own household and family, I'm not sure when I'll get around to totting up, hopefully before we go on hols.

    One IN I do remember is LRP Anthelios compact foundation in SPF50. They only do this in two colours, I ordered the lightest shade but it's still too dark for my pale skin. Hoping that once I've got a bit of a body tan rocking on, I won't look quite so tangoed :o The L'Oreal bronzer I bought is lovely, no orangey tones and good for contouring as well as overall glowiness.

    I am loving my Beauty Blender! I'm getting better coverage with less product compared to my RT blending brush and it seems to have better staying power too.

    I'm a bit cheesed off with the whole Birchbox situ though. I ordered the September box and cancelled my monthly rolling subscription as soon as it arrived. Lo and behold, on Thursday the October box arrived. The order doesn't appear on my dashboard though, and if I click the "subscription" tab it just asks me to resubscribe. I didn't want a second box and I will be annoyed if I find £12.95 missing from my bank account, when I find the little security keypad jobbie that is :o

    I hope you're all well, I'm still in bed :o Making the most of the first skid-free weekend I've had with DH in two months. Happy weekend wishes all round xx
