    More UUs:

    20/311. Sanctuary Body Butter 100ml - HG, WDBA but more stashed.

    21/312. TBS Almond Shower Gel 250ml - WBA if still sold, I love the scent of almond and this lathers well. DH is a MASSIVE fan, likes to share this one with me and is itching to start on the one that's left in my stash!

    22/313. Pevonia Marine Collagen Cream 5ml - a freebie from a recent holiday, lovely texture but hated the scent.

    Think I might crack open a Philosophy Christmas set ths weekend to replace my lotion and shower gel :xmastree:

    Happy weekend all!

    Very nice if you got them cheap, I am currently sorting toiletries and other things to give to our local Christmas Care place for the homeless.

    Afternoon everyone! Have another UU to report:

    TBS Shea Hand Cream - This lasted ages and WBA but I think I prefer the Hemp one. Moving on to a L'Occitane one that was free in Marie Claire a few months ago.

    Hi everyone, another UU for me:D

    50ml Clinique Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector WNBA. Bought to use on age spots on hands, not disciplined enough to paint it onto them regularly enough and too expensive to try again.

  • A nice bath and and a UU for me...LUSH Golden Wonder Ballistic. Have a fantastic weekend all:T:beer::j
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • UU Loreal Volume Million Lashes ... died a death today, my lashes were very measly today
    UU One of the relax revive shower gels. Was ok. Prefer the radox quite honestly over the posh stuff.

    I've hit pan on a couple of make up items but still got lots of product left. I've still got approx 3 weeks left of my favourite blusher til it's gone forever. :(

    Got a few hair product splutterers, I expect they'll be gone within 2 months. They take so long to use up!! Although my argan oil has gone surprisingly quickly - it's probably about 10 months old and over half way gone.

    Currently holidaying in the Canaries with my BF :) so enjoying lots of UUs, quite a few samples of shower gels and body lotions.

    Also aTA of a Liz Earle eye lotion that I was sent to test, it didn't do anything and the smell was horrible :(

    Weather is fab, heard reports its pretty miserable at home.
    Back in a weeks time, never had such a long break before but I'm saying it's a treat to myself as first year self employed and have worked my backside off!!

    Hope everyone has a lovely Christmas (I always find it an anti climax that I'm glad I'm away) and not too many INs ;)

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Today's advent in was James Read Sleep Mask Tan. I'm not much of a fake tanner particularly on my face so this may get passed on.

    I've had a bit of a clear out session and also decided not to include 'mini' or 'travel sizes' in my stash list.

    Anyway:

    TA:
    Xen-Tan Morrocon Tan. This was opened and said 6M on the bottle, definitely been opened longer than that.

    Molton Brown White Mulberry: I didn't like the feel/smell of this and it was a huge size for a hand cream, wouldn't get used up.


    Miniatures I am 'discounting' as stash:

    Elemis Pro Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm 15ml
    Elemis Pro Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm 15ml
    Skin Nourishing Body Cream
    Skin Nourishing Body Cream
    Molton Brown Orange and Bergamot 30ml
    Molton Brown Orange and Bergamot 30ml
    Jasmine and Rose Hand Cream
    Jasmine and Rose Hand Cream

    These will be used up on holidays/nights away so don't really want them as part of my main stash list.

    Takes main items down to 42.


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    I have some ins

    Barry M Gel Polish in Almond - I love this type of colour and couldn't resist.

    Herbal Essences Volume Shampoo
    Herbal Essences Volume Conditioner


    These two are for DD, they were half price and I paid using a voucher. Also got a bottle of Herbal Essences Moroccan My Shine, half price too but had to put 97p towards this as the voucher was for £5.

    Wait there were more ins

    Wilko Concealer Brush - these brushes are good and this one looks a particularly good shape for pin point concealing.

    Sanctuary Spa 2 Day Moisture Shower Oil x 2
    S&G Scrub Em and Leave Em


    I love Sanctuary products and think they are rather underrated, I am hoping these will be a good dupe for the L'occitane Almond Shower Oil (obviously without the Almond scent).

    Still more

    The postman brought a Burts Bees grab bag containing:

    Peppermint & Rosemary Body Wash - mini
    Coconut Foot Cream
    Almond & Milk Hand Cream
    Honey Hand Cream
    Body Lotion
    Mango Lip Balm
    Acai Lip Balm
    Plum Lip Shimmer
    Lip Gloss in Fall Foliage
    Lemon Cuticle Butter (my favourite thing for cuticles)


    All this was packaged in the cutest tin. Apart from the shower gel the rest are full sized products. It's the first grab bag of theirs I've had and I am very happy with it.
