I have a little uu

Sai Sei Invigorating Body Scrub 5ml - this was a little freebie from Space NK. It was very scrubby and smelt lovely but I don't buy body scrubs on their own only if they come in a set, the rest of the time I use my body brush or gloves with shower gel.

Thanks for the welcome :-)


Hmm, trying to use up my Lush fresh farmacy but is becoming a LHJ - down to an almost sliver, but the issue I'm having is that the smaller it gets, the less foam it produces and it's becoming more of a cream. I really like a little foam when face washing as it makes my face feel truly clean. I've got a Dove sensitive bar waiting in the wings as read yesterday that it can help rosacea, and feeling tempted to bin the remaining fresh farmacy but I loathe waste...also have realised that I'd pretty much stopped moisturising my body, hence why the collection builds but never goes down. I think having children is what stopped me as I always feel like I haven't got time.


Last year after putting nothing on my face but soap and water and harsh chemical concoctions from the dermatologist, I could see it was doing my face no favours at all and stopped going to them - there's no cure and it fluctuates depending on numerous factors. Lush products have got it under the most control it's been in years. So I got into good habits of cleansing, toning, moisturising. I think I may become a frump-to-fab-ber as well to help me use some of my other stuff!

Welcome cherryblossom. Whilst I've never suffered with rosacea I used to have some redness in my cheeks and found that using Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish got rid of this. Might be worth a try if you haven't tried this before.

Another UU ladies, am on a roll with number 11 under my belt. Do also have two more tubes that I have cut open too:-

11 Gilchrist & Soames body lotion This was only a small sized tube that I brought home from our cruise. WNB. Smelt and felt synthetic and was a chore to use. Glad it was only a travel sized tube.

Some more OUTs to report :j

2 UUs:
1.Tesco Shave Gel (HG).
2. Maybelline XXL Pro Mascara. WDBA but I think it's been discontinued, which is such a shame.

I've been having a big de-clutter KonMarie style and have TA 2 Dior eyeshadows, as I have had them for a ridiculous amount of time and I don't think I should really use them anymore.

A Charlie perfume has been put in the charity bag, as I don't like the smell of it. I also TA a couple of Kenzo samples because I don't like the smell of those either.

I adore Smashbox lipgloss. Which ones did you get?

Smashbox On The Rocks Be Legendary Lip Gloss Gift Set, currently discounted on Boots but was cheaper than that in store

Thanks for posting that. I used to donate via them, but they stopped doing it for a while.

That's a shame I have contacted Refuge Aid and waiting for a reply. Will let you know once I hear from them.

UU Lancome Hydro Zen Neurocalm cream gel. It was good but not sure whether I buy again. It was part of a promotion.

It was half used and then sleeping in my cupboard and decided to finish this one as part of the challenge

A few INs today - mainly goodwill gestures following some bodged boxing day orders from a few companies that have finally come through and then got a 200ml Honeymania Body Butter for free from BS from completing the survey they emailed to love your body card members - happy days!

One UU which is particularly pathetic - a 1ml sample of My NY from DKNY - was nice enough and have a couple more samples of it in the stash.

Pleased that I still haven't actually spent any of my pennies on make up and so on this month, long shall it continue!

Those lipglosses are lovely. I own Pout. Must look out for some more when I'm in the U.S. later this year.

Morning all
Threw a bath mob into the tub last night so a small UU there smelt nice and made the water soft but cleaning soggy dried rose petals out the plug hole after was a pain!
