Happy weekend everyone x

Might have some glitters that would work well

1 x tanning mitt

UU

IN

I'm also planning a toiletries/beauty shoebox for local domestic violence charity so will have some GA soon.

PP list for now:

Oh my god I know, right? I'm trying to use mine up because I don't like it and it's taking THE LONGEST TIME.

I may be back with a UU after my bath, if we're lucky. The dreaded tesco cocoa butter has to run out sometime, right? RIGHT??/

look away if it's TMI but wanted to add to this - :eek: for some - anyone thought of http://femmecup.com/ or similar brand - after the initial cost it pays for itself very, very quickly.

I have 3 gift sets OUT for from the Jan 2013 Boots sale :eek: I'm going to a charity Christmas night tomorrow and they are needing some raffle prizes. Perfect for me and for them! :T
But then I started to look through my stash from then and there is so much stuff and some of the boxes have started to get bashed :mad: because I'm not storing it very well (stash just gets sat on top of the pile :eek:) and I don't think I'll be able to use it as presents

I've been using mine as hand and foot cream cause I'm so bored of it. Using a body shop hemp hand protector now.
I know the stashed one will go off but can't force myself to use it now. Will eventually use it up as a foot cream I think

UU: tesco cocoa butter body lotion. WNBA. Ever. So runny it's almost like water and yet somehow takes forever to get through a bottle.

Evening ladies! Hope everyone is well, I will need to catch up on the thread this weekend.

I didn't get to post before the end of November but had one IN - Sure Maximum Protection deodorant clean fresh - my HG, picked one up at a reduced price at a Boots points event a week or two ago. My current was the last in the stash and I knew I'd run out before Christmas.

I think I also had one last UU that wasn't declared: Sanctuary peptide replenish night cream 10ml, from the sanctuary facial in a box in last year's sales. Nice enough but wouldn't buy as a stand alone product. WNB.

In December so far I have 5 UUs:

Bodyshop Spa Wisdom argan and orange blossom bath and shower gel 200ml
Eucerin Even Brighter day cream 20ml
L'Occitane Divine Eyes treatment 1ml
Sanctuary peptide repair eye cream 5ml
L'occitane precious cream 1ml

The Morrocan shower oil was lovely alternate to almond oil, moisturising and great for shaving with. I know I bought it 3.5 years ago after we returned from a holiday in morocco as the scent was a gorgeous reminder. it's been n the stash so long that most of the scent had gone. I had originally thought I was allergic as I used it once at the time and came up in a rash, whether the scent diminishing changed things I don't know. Either way, it's a UU and they no longer stock it so WNBA. May try the mono miracle oil however...

Eucerin cream was a freebie in last summer with the 20ml night cream. Hated it Didn't brighten my skin, didn't moisturise enough for me and certainly not with the recent change in weather, and didn't like the smell. WNB.

Divine eyes treatment is put on the side to go in a christmas card to a friend because I've used it before and know it doesn't agree with me. WNB.

Precious eye cream came as art of the sanctuary facial in a box. It was ok, but then my eyes started reacting to it. Not sure if it's the change in weather but it was only a couple of ml and part used so TA. WNB.

Precious cream 1ml. Nice enough, I have a larger sample to try shortly so will see how it goes, I think I'm unlikely to purchase though, as it's £45!

In moisturisers I have a half dozen sample sachets, one small pot of precious cream from a gift bag I was given by my mother in law last Christmas and then, barring my Lacura serum, I will have UUs all my moisturisers! Not a position I think I've been in since I hit puberty...

Have a happy weekend pampering everyone.

Today's advent in was Sisley Express Cleansing Mask. I'm looking forward to trying this as due to being very expensive I've never bought anything from Sisley.
