    Evening, hope you all have had a good weekend. I seem to be quite accident prone this weekend, breaking a few glasses and somehow dropping a chow mein and plate on the lounge carpet ( glad it came off).

    Anyway UU's for this week

    22 Shoot for the star bath ballisitc WBA really like this one definetly one that's beautiful to watch.

    23 Santa sack bubble bar WNBA very old now and not a great fan of the scent.

    24 lamplighter soap WNBA the fragrance blend was changed and it not as nice as the previous blend.

    25 oat soap WBA smelled liked Apple pie and I could still smell it on my hands 30 minutes after washing.

    26-27 reindeer rock soap WDNBA awful soap, does not lather and it is rrally soaf you can reshape it, this was grated to make washing powder. Still have another 100g chunk.

    28 mojo to toner water WNBA nice enough but contained alcohol.

    29 evening fall body lotion WBA loved the scent and texture, really quick to sink in to the skin.

    30 cer 100 collagen hair treatment WNBA did not seem to actually condition my hair.

    31 Blooddrops cranberry and tea body cream WMBA really thick and took some work to get to spread but was really quick to use up, lovely light scent.

    32 charcoal face mask WBA fitted well and was hydrating.

    33 mane and tail shampoo WNBA LHJ this had been on the go for about 7 months, never will I believe what I read or see on YouTube again, it was okay.

    34 midnight gypsy alchemy body lotion WDNBA really did not like the scent used this on my legs and another on the top half so I could not smell it.

    35 joico deep penetrating reconstructor WNBA hated the smell, another LHJ, did not do enough for me to buy it again.

    36 aveda foot relief cream WNBA did not like the scent and it has taken about a year to actually use it up.

    37 velvet nutri inject hair treatment WMBA nice enough.

    38 black pomegranate toner sachet WNBA okay but did not wow me.

    39 tony moly magic foot peeling shoes WBA I really like the peeling foot masks and my feet are very soft compared to usual combined with a foot cream.

    40 pure derma face mask WNBA ill fitting, still have several more but would not repurchase.

    41 migabee energy ampule Wmba my skin did like it, more even texture.

    42 lancome renerve night multi lift WBA really liked the texture and not too greasy, still have a lot of products to go through before I would repurchase.
    The end.

    Morning ladies.

    I have a little uu

    Bare Minerals Marvelous Moxie Lip Gloss in A Lister - WNBA, this was a mini which came in a compact, not really my preferred type of colour. Also I find lip gloss a pain with having long hair.

  • So do you just buy cooking grade oil or are they facial oils. I'm interested in trying this.
    What type of wash cloths do you use?

    I know you didn't ask me, but I'm butting in as I use the exact same methods to cleanse my face!

    I just get cooking grade oils. I get my almond oil from my local Turkish shop where it sits with all the cooking oils, and I've also used hemp oil which is in the same place and can be used as salad dressing and stuff. I just use flannel wash clothes afterwards. I got 7 from Primark so I can use a clean one each day.

    1 UU and 1 IN from the weekend.

    UU – Biore Brightening face milk SPF 50 – WBA, but I have another one in the stash and then I would like to try another sunscreen I have my eye on to see how it compares.

    IN – OST C20 serum –!HG vit c serum. I ran out of mine at xmas and used my DIY one in the meantime, but I just enjoy this one much more so had to repurchase!
    No more goo hoarding!

  • Another UU this morning - Herbal Essences 2 in 1 Shampoo and Conditioner. WMBA, as it was a good size for travelling, which is what I bought it for. I do prefer using a separate shampoo and conditioner though.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)
  • Welcome Janeyboo!

    I hope everyone is well!

    A couple of UUs today from my advent calender:

    The Body Shop Moringa Body Milk 60ml: I really can't tell if I like this or hate this! WMBA but I'm still undecided!

    The Body Shop Glazed Apple Heart Soap: Lovely scent but TBS soaps always dissolve far too quickly. WNBA.

    I still have an abundance of splutters which seem to be refusing to end so hopefully some more UUs soon!

    Hope you all had a lovely weekend.

    Welcome Janeyboo!


    Sam that's an impressive list of UUs, you've been busy! :)

    I have some UUs to report:


    15. Cussons Mum & Me Relax & Unwind Bath Soak 50ml - WNBA but did the job just fine as gym shower gel.


    16. Sanctuary Body Butter 100ml - WDBA but more stashed and tons of body lotions in general to get through first.


    17. Kiehl's Midnight Recovery Concentrate 4ml - GWP and WNB, ludicrously expensive and did nothing for my skin.


    I have a couple more splutterers still.


    Also an IN:


    9. TBS Cocoa Butter Body Butter 200ml - a lovely freebie but as if I needed any more!!

    Almond oil is a common remedy for hair and skin but not seen anyone using for cooking!

    Coconut oil for cooking and beauty are different types, I wouldn't use skin oil for cooking either ;P Cooking oil might work for skin though !

  • Used up my Seventeen blusher :(

    It's discontinued now which is a real shame :( It was such a lovely proper matte rouge shade, haven't found a dupe but found a similar-ish matte shade in Mac.
