    Maddiemay & Willowbee, it doesn't sting at all and is the only thing that helped my eyelids. When I first started getting eczema I tried all different thick creams and E45 and this is the only thing that worked. I buy this one off Amazon. I do really recommend it and have got my mum using it too, just as a face cream!

    Thank you very much, just ordered some:D ordered the dog's herbal tablets at the same time - multi tasking LOL:)

  • Hi everyone

    Would love to join this thread :)

    Today I threw/gave away 80 make up/nail polish items! This didn't even make a dent in what I have! I think posting on this thread will help keep me under control a bit!

    I will need to make a list of everything but that could take a while so will just post ins and outs for a while until I get round to that!

    Going to have a pamper session now to use some of my lovely products!

    Welcome macaronvanille. Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

    I have spent an hour this afternoon unblocking the bath drain, I tried a plunger, Mr muscle sink unblocked before taking the side of the bath off and undoing the u bend and that was clear so ended up shoving a blunt object up the drain to find a plug of snow angel bath melt blocking it. So much for relaxing baths!

    UU's
    12 BS ginger shampoo WBa I don't know if it is my HG but I use this about 80% of the time and have done for the last couple of years.

    13 innis free rice sheet mask WBa fitted well and seemed to hydrate my skin

    14 penguin bubble bar WMBA this is from last years Boxing Day sale and I actually managed not to buy anymore this year having still some left.

    15 luxury lush pud bath ballisitic WBA love the twilight scent of this. Again several more in stash.

    GA
    16 holographic face serum to my mom, I have too many serums and she will use it.
  • A whole weekend of shopping and not a single IN for me :) A UU instead Vaseline Active Fresh compressed, not terribly exciting but one less product all the same.
    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
  • have had a few UUs over the past few days but forgot to post about them last time I was on! Have a couple more today as well..

    Thierry Mugler Angel EDT 1.5ml - Got a few more sample sizes like this in my stash and will happily use them up, but will never buy this one. Smells nice and has good longevity but just can't justify the expense.

    Estee Lauder Modern Muse Chic EDP 1.5ml - meh. nice enough but I wouldn't buy for myself.

    Dior Hydralife Cream Sorbet 3ml - Just could not get on with this one, it broke me out big time! The amount of time those 3 little millilitres lasted did make me think about how much I tend to waste my larger sizes. Will be trying to cut down my liberal application in future.

    Bodyshop White Musk Libertine EDT 10ml - Never tried body shop perfumes before so was pleasantly surprised with this one. Nice smell and lasted a while on the skin. Wouldn't use it every day and certainly WNBA but as a freebie for carrying around in my handbag it was fine.

    Louise Galvin Sacred Locks Hair Masque 100ml - WNBA. It was nice enough and smelt lovely, but did no more than the aussie range does for me.
  • Sui and Asset I am so sorry to hear about your losses. I hope you're each looking after yourselves.

    I am in the process of clearing out my mother's house at the moment, it's a rental property so has to be done sooner rather than later. I think I've said before that my mum could be a little bit of a hoarder, and the house was worse than I think I've seen it in a very long time. She had told me that she was struggling, but going through the house and finding brand new pans when I knew she wasn't cooking, perfumes on a dressing table that she would keep because she didn't want to use the last of them. It's horrible, more painful than anything I thought I would do.

    It's having a dual impact. On the one hand I want to clear out my house, reduce down to the things that I only really want or need. On the other hand we are buying so much to incorporate mum's dog, to make our lives easier/better. And then there's the fact that I buy things when I am stressed or down (I wonder where I get that from mum, with your two ice cream makers and lactose intolerance!).

    So here we go with my INs WARNING - ENABLING POST BELOW

    A UU and an IN for me:

    - UU - Sanex deodarant - WNBA, wasn't very effective and smelled kinda grannyish!

    - IN - Sure Maximum Protection roll on cream - WDBA - I'm going to stick to this as it works well and smells good. It's expensive, but then, it works!


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.
  • Asda purchases:
    Vaseline spray and go aloe 190ml
    Herbal essences naked volume shampoo 400ml
    Herbal essences naked volume conditioner 400ml

    I needed a new full size shampoo conditioner set, as I'm using up travel sizes atm. Love the smell and it looks like it's got less chemical nasties. I have wanted to try the spray moisturisers for ages (I hate the sticky feeling after you apply body lotion) and so far it's a fab option.

    Xmas presents I forgot to declare last time round:

    Molton Brown orange and bergamot enriching hand lotion 300ml
    Molton Brown orange and bergamot hand wash 300ml
    Molton Brown naranji hand cream 40ml

    Love the smell of these so looking forward to using them.

    Then I had a code come through from Latest in Beauty and ended up buying two selections. The first was the Maddi Alexander collection :

    Maddie Alexander rose beauty balm 15ml
    Maddi Alexander rose natural pillow spray 50ml
    Maddi Alexander rose soaking salts
    Maddi Alexander rose bath oil 30ml

    This also came in a box with a little booklet, a door sign and a little loofah sponge

    I also bought the crackers set and they contained:
    L'Oreal Miss Manga Mega Volume Mascara Black 8.5g
    Daniel Sandler long lasting waterproof eyeliner aqua velvet
    Rose & Co Cherry Kiss lipbalm
    Jurlique Calendula Redness Rescue Soothing Moisturising Cream 5ml
    Balance me moisture rich face cream 25ml
    Nailberry nailpolish pink berry 15ml
    Jimmy Choo Flash EDP 2ml

    I also bought two pieces along with the box and crackers
    Moa green balm 15ml
    Rituals Zensation Organic rice milk & cherry blossom shower foam (I have wanted to try this for ages) 50ml

    So yes, I fell of the wagon and it ran straight over me. My total list is now at 344, higher than it was in September. Someone please bring a pillow and a glass of tempranillo to the naughty step for me?
