It's the Elemis Lime Blossom Balancing Cleanser that I like. I have an oily Tzone and normal skin elsewhere - rarely suffer with dry skin on my face - and this cleanser helps with the oiliness a lot.

Debenhams do have a GWP on at the mo. Have a nosey at their website. You get a kit when you purchase two items and an extra small bottle of Bath Elixir added if you buy 3 - I'm not affiliated with them, honestly.

Thanks VALM. Definitely sounds like we're skin twins! Will have to give this cleanser a try when I next need to replace (not for a while!!) What toner do you use?

Thanks re the GWP, but I'm waiting for one with PCMC, which Debs are usually pretty good for. Next time, hopefully - otherwise will have to ask for some for my bday in Feb after I've hopefully UU'd some more moisturisers

I use Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic. I have tried to replace it with others over time as I still kind of resent paying out of the LE one. Saying that though I've recently been a bit lazy with toning as (get this for a brilliant excuse!) I did not have any cotton wool pads in the bathroom! Replaced the cotton wool pads this morning and used tonic and my skin did feel fresher (LBM!). Whilst I've tried the Elemis one and it's nice I don't want to pay more for toner.

Thank you! Will give that a go as I really like the LE HCC. I agree re the Elemis one, it's fine but didn't wow me when I had it as a GWP and not worth the money IMO.

Have you tried the intensive foot rescue? Do you know how this compares? I have really awful thick clumps of dry skin that I've been trying to get rid of for years and no amount of moisturising and filing seems to be doing it

I concur with others and the Micropedi, but I would say that the best time to put cream on your feet is straight after a shower when the skin is warm as the cream will sink in much better.

As hoped, my b*lance me moisturiser has now gone, so that's another item out I just listed a few more toiletry items to sell and my mum has just said she'd buy one off me (ol*y beauty fluid) letting her have it a little cheaper, but yay! Another item gone and more £££'s towards my house buying plan... let's hope the other two items sell now! Thanks for having this thread, it's so motivational!

Plus some little minis from Glossybox.

I'm ashamed!

I did have A Childs Wish burning in my bedroom but this needs replacing.

This made me :rotfl:

I have lots of the votives rather than the tarts. I have been burning a Christmas Eve votive and we've had tea lights and tapers burning in the windows. I have two Neom candles at the moment, one by the bed and one in the living room, but OH is burning a large glass jar YC Sandalwood and Vanilla in the bedroom most evenings which is just lovely. There's a YC outlet at Bridgend's MacArthur Glen and we go fairly regularly so tend to get a couple of candles on the way out.

No offence but... thank god you are just far enough away that I can't swing buy to pick up. I would go crazy with that lot.

There is a micro pedi on sale via Groupon today, £17.99, I'll try to add a link but I'm on my iphone so it may not work on PCs.

another UU - the herbal essense deep conditioner

Hi everyone, another 2 UU's to report:

- TBS Pink Grapefruit Body Spray: This lasted me almost a year with daily use so would buy again. It was lovely and fresh and great for work as I don't like overpowering people with fragrance. Have a Brazil Nut one to use now.

- Nuxe Deo: WBA, I use this when I don't need to have super strength deo, and the scent is amazing and so long lasting. The price is a bit eeeekkk (£8.50!) but one bottle lasted for so long that I really don't mind.
