    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!

    This made me :rotfl: - I avoid bath melts etc for this precise purpose, and will go so far as to say that, as much as I do love a good bath at times, I generally talk myself out of it due to the prospect of having to clean it afterwards! (I'm a lazy moo, I know - and I'd just like to point out that our bath does get cleaned regularly, but doesn't need a good scrub as long as it remains purely ornamental!)

    I have UUs:


    13. Sanctuary Body Wash 250ml - nice enough but probably wouldn't go out of my way to buy again for a while, there are others that lather better and last longer, though this does smell nice. I don't like the orange lumps in it though! I have a couple of minis remaining. Have moved onto using a mammoth 500ml S&G for now!


    14. Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturising Gel 125ml - a real LHJ (lasted almost a year!) but WBA, this works well for my skin, moisturises but is light enough for me to use under make-up and not make me greasy by lunchtime.


    The Clinique was the final item on my January PP - think this is the first time I've ever completed it!

    Hi guys. I have a uu

    Champneys Distant Shores Dry Body Oil - this was very nice, I love the scent of this range and most Champneys in general. WMBA but body oils are not my favourite on the whole.

    I am going to wash out the bottle and the pump and pour my Garnier body oil into it because the bottle that it is in now is a teardrop shape which is impossible to hold and pump with one hand and just as impossible holding with one hand and pumping with the other - and this is before you get a tiny bit of oil on your hands:mad:. There has been loads of reviews saying the same but they have brought out a new variant in the same packaging.

  • so use ups for the month up to 34 - not sure where I got to the last time.
    24.eyelure colour eye lashes - used a few times before throwing out, my favourite brand of fake eyelashes so wba
    25-28 old makeup brushes
    29,30 old tweezers

    A few years ago I gave my mum 4x sanctuary spa drawers (each 2 big,2 little drawers) as my makeup didn't fit into it . Got 2 of them back today and all my makeup apart from the bulky palettes fit into them :P Maybe in a few years I will be down to 1 :P

  • UU - pit rock roller .... this is my fave deodorant so I bought my standby a couple of weeks ago, so out it has come.
    UU - L'oreal volume million lashes - totally dried up, finished. I prefer the regular silver tube voluminous so won't be buying again.

    I'm down to the plastic on my balmi lip balm - loved this and will miss it - although I have already started the body shop pomegranate born lippy which i LOVE! I really don't like taking my jars of tropic skincare lipbalm out and about - so unhygienic dipping fingers in.

    With all my christmas INs I'm at 197 :eek:

    UU - Liz Earle Orange Flower Body Wash 200ml

    This was nice, and smelled lovely, and I would certainly use again as part of a set - but would not seek it out to use especially.

    Think I'll move onto Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Cream next :)

    As an aside, does anyone like Liz Earle Nourishing Body Cream? I got one in my set and I hate using body lotion, maybe a swap?


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    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 :)



    I have a half finished jar of this. Was odd, my skin liked it at the start but it suddenly stopped "working" and my skin got really dry.

    UU S&G sugar crush shower creme. WBA eventually, have a few others to use first.

    UU Mark Hill blonde shampoo and conditioner minis. WBA, left my hair in good condition. Onto lovely Aussie moisture rich shampoo now.

    I'm using DDML at the moment as it's always in GWP kits. I use it as a night cream as it actually does make my skin feel greasy. I'm getting to the end of my tube too.

    I love LE body cream and have some in my stash already. You should try it. It keeps me moisturised all day.
