Two UUs and a TA today

UU
L'occitane Iris Angelica Sublime Essence 7ml Travel Size - made my skin so silky and smooth but its so expensive for what it is, WNBA.

Impulse be surprised body spray

TA
Illamasqua glamore lipstick in 'naked' - has been in my makeup stash for months but just makes me look like I've borrowed someone with a much sallower complexion's concealer and rubbed it all over my lips. Thought best just get it out the way

Slow progress this month. Products are coming to an end but hanging around.

Two UUs:

Weleda body cream: Been using this as a night cream as it's thick and intensive. What but not for now as I've cancelled my Amazon subscription as the price was increasing and I have other creams to use up.

Sanctuary spa body scrub: Wmba

Ins: Last glossy box for the year

ESLOR firming collagen day cream
Vasanti brighten up face rejuvenator
Electric hair hydrate shampoo
Eyeko fat eye stick
Benefit Christmas cracker
Models own nail polish

UU

aloe vera and seaweed face mask sachet. WBA. One of those cheap ones out of savers. I like to buy them to make my more expensive masks last longer

Don't really need it but have just ordered the soap and glory 'the next big thing' set down from £60 to £29! Still working through lots of sanctuary stuff, I really like the scent of it but it's becoming a bit boring! ( bought to much when on offer! Like special offers are one off)

A UU for me, a seemingly never-ending one!

Elemis Lavender Balancing Toner


WNBA, this seemed to take forever to use up, and I don't particularly use toner that often. I would use this as part of a set again, but not go out of my way to purchase.

I'm using this toner at the moment too and you are right it lasts forever, due to the spray I think. I have used 1.5 bottles of the matching cleanser but still have half a bottle of this still.

Suidreams - The Clinique Take the Day Off is probably better due to it being an oily remover but the Body Shop one worked well for me, I don't wear waterproof mascara though so I can't comment on how well it will cope with that. The price of the Clinique one is getting silly now though I think.

Today my advent calendar revealed a 15g tube of Glamglow - very happy with this, I have used it before and it is a seriously good mask but :eek: to the price. Yesterday it was a 30ml tube of Vita Liberata Self Tan and a very cute mini mit.

I also have a uu

Nivea Pearl & Beauty Roll on - This smells lovely and does a good job for everyday use at this time of year. I do use the Mitchum ones in hot weather though. WBA.

Sorry if i'm posting too much !:o

Another two UUs this morning:

Benefit they're real gel liner full sized - was a freebie before it was launched properly from ELLE insider. WNBA as absolutely hated this but so glad it suddenly ran out this morning!

YSL forever light creator serum 1ml sachet - smelt like washing up liquid WNBA.

SuiDreams

Dolly84 - Think I'll give that bodyshop one a try some time next year, (when they have one of there offers on). Getting fed up with fav products going up in price.

Post away! Nice to see newbies joining in, you're doing really well on the UUs!

Thanks very much for all of the recommendations! I used the Lancome Bi-Facil before the Dior one (bought as part of the same points glitch I think) and quite liked it but not so keen on the oiliness- I problem I have also found with the Clinique one in the past.

Having read a few reviews I think I'm going to be very MSE and try the Garnier one, it's on offer at Superdrug at the mo for about £2 so worth a go at that price. I really need to downgrade some of my products and I'm hoping that this may be a good place to start. Though to be fair, the Dior one lasted me 8 months+, so not so bad when you put it like that...!

I was about to order the TBS one but a few of the reviews mentioned that it's been changed very recently and now smells horrid - just thought I'd mention here for anyone who uses this regularly and would simply reorder.

If the Garnier one doesn't work out I will defnitely try No7, as I generally like their skincare range - though now I kinda begrudge buying it without a £5 voucher, and unfortuanetly I'm not in a positon to hang around before replacing - had to take my eye make-up off with Clinique clarifying lotion last night :eek:

Away again this weekend so hoping for some small UUs, however we;re exchanging gifts with family and I KNOW there will be some (a lot) smellies in there. Given that I have no control over this I think I'll count as INs at the end of the month.

Oh, and my Elemis arrived so INs:

8/224. Elemis PCMC 30ml
9/225. Elemic PCMC Night 30ml
10/226. Elemis PC Hydra-Gel Masks x2

Can't wait to get using this but going to be good and use a couple of small richer moisturiers first, maybe save this til the new year if I can hold off :A

Have just been to Boots to collect the Smashbox primer I ordered for Emma for Christmas and saw these. Had a serious struggle with myself! We do have 2 x 500ml S&G shower gels in the bathroom unopened and I have a huge tub of Righteous Butter too so really must not cave in.

If anyone likes Clinique Take the Day Off Boots have a fab offer at the moment that if you buy a Clinique mascara you get full sized bottle free - only available instore though. I toyed with the idea of going getting one as we are getting low on TTDO and would have done had I had enough AP to get the mascara. Don't want to spend money that is earmarked for gifts on staples like this and don't need another mascara.

I am really envious of your advent calender dolly. I saw Glamglow in the shop onboard our cruise ship in August and nearly bought some. Wish I had now.

Post as much as you like!

Thanks for the review re: Benefit gel liner. I had a sample size recently and really didn't like it. Am glad you say the same about the full sized.
