going to have a massive in. bought the ciate advent calendar for under £20 including postage so 24 nailpolishes oops. I could probably get rid of most of my nails inc tho as bought as a bundle about 5 years back and a few colours have changed slightly/have a funny smell when applying

I've ordered that too. Luckily I don't count nail polish in my stash! Mwah hah hah!

Purchased from local health food shop...you might get it from holland & Barrett too?
How do you use it on hair? Does it send it greasy? As my hair swings toward that direction although not a bad as it used to be.

I just melt it in my hands and then work it into my dry hair, I wrap in a hair wrap and leave overnight if possible then shampoo and condition as normal, it doesn't leave any residue but I do have dry, naturally curly hair. I add Argan Oil in with it too, the pure stuff not the blended versions.

I have some ins from my monthly beauty box

DHC Oil Blotting Papers
Sheer Skin Tint (box own brand)
L'Oreal Miss Manga Punky
by Terry Khol Eyeliner Bronze Generation

I am very excited about the eyeliner as by Terry is a brand I would never purchase outright. Not so sure about the Mascara though, will give it a go and see how it looks.

Also a uu

Elemis Tranquil Touch Shower Gel 50ml - WBA, love this but have more in the stash for now.

Yesssssss.... my first UU of the month :T

UU - Garnier Nutralia shampoo. WNBA. Reckon I mustn't have liked it back when I bought it, as that's the only reason for a part opened bottle of shampoo to have been lurking at the back of my vanity unit cupboard. Still don't like it, and am going to relish chucking the bottle in the recycling bin in a few minutes

Replaced it with a partially filled travel bottle, which has a TresEmme shampoo in (the main one I've used for the last year or so). I still have a few other shampoos (including at least two others that are already open) to go at, but I want the travel bottle to use for something else so will clear this one next


nasty cheap conditioner is almost gone now - may stretch to 2 more uses, but I'm hoping I can kill it in 1

Afternoon everyone! Interesting posts about coconut oil - I'd love to try it out but I hate the smell of coconut!

Two UUs for me today:

Impulse Rock & Love Body Spray 75ml: Wasn't blown away by this scent but it was pleasant enough - WMBA.
Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter Sugar Scrub 200ml: The smell of this was nice and it was very coarse which I liked but it left a greasy film wherever I used it and made my shower so slippery that I feared for me life! WNBA.


One of my many eye conditions has flared up today so am sitting here feeling very sorry for myself & DH is still away on business. I think a mixture of pampering myself and eating everything in the house is the order of the day!

I hope you are all having a good week!

I probably should include them as sitting at about 35-40 now oops


3 more uu bringing my total for the month to 7 and alltogther 54.


5.essential care mascara in brown -came with a beauty box was okay but the rrp was a bit high
6.random lush bathbomb - not sure which and I think I only have 2 lush products left after this ...sounds very sad but I have about 10 bomb cosmetic products to use .
7. sanex 500ml body wash -wba this is my staple . I do have about 4/5 left plus loads of random ones kicking about.


some ins
6x bath and bodyworks antibac hand sanitisers,
raspberry meringue, cherry almond shortbread, cherry pinwheel, Malibu sunset, Caribbean escape and fresh strawberrys

In my defence I used paypal funds .... these do smell lovely I wish we had a bath and bodyworks here.

Sending get well soon wishes your way Delete_User - and that definitely sounds like a good cheering-up plan to me


I'm going to pop to TBS later on to choose my bday freebie so will have another non-bought IN to declare!

1 UU – Lush Ro's Argan Body Conditioner. I do like this, it smells really nice and the smell lasts, plus it does feel moisturising but I WNB for myself, simply because it doesn't last very long and I find it more of a faff than regular body lotions. Am very happy to get it as a gift though!

Gilchrist and Soames body lotion. As mentioned last time this was a freebie from the cruise. WNB. Felt like it was packed with mineral oil. Anyway they are all gone now.

I'm using up one of these right now from our hotel in Mexico and I agree, it feels like it's nothing but mineral oil. Unfortunately it's a very generous 120ml and although it's almost empty I have another one to get through

We have the matching shampoo and shower gel too which are a bit nicer to use.

That's good to hear. I know I have shampoo in my stash and also conditioner (I think). Was going to save them for my hols to the US in September as they are only travel sizes.
