    Helllllloooooooooooooo ladies! :wave:

    It has been a while. I hope you are all keeping well.

    Here is my lone UU: Mitchum Anti Perspirent Deoderant.

    Here are my INs - a Boots sale buy that I'm not all that keen on but that I have been too busy to return:

    S&G Orangeasm Super Tonic (250ml)
    S&G Orangeade Body Wash (full size)
    S&G Orangeasm Body Butter (50ml)

    *Looks down* Darn, I still have last year's signature. I need to update it. Or cos I left it on after the twelfth day does it mean I have to leave it there until Easter?!
    Please call me 'Pickle'

  • Hi Pickle :wave:

    Lovely to see you :)

    I was very tempted by the Soap & Glory set you have. I plumped for the Sugar Crush set instead and kind of wished I hadn't :o

    Two more UUs

    25. Naobay Moisturizing Milk Cleanser (50ml) - this was really lovely. It's natural/organic and felt very luxurious. It's gentle but left my skin really clean, soft and matte. WMBA if I came across it reduced, otherwise I need to stick to my HG Decleor cleanser as I bought a litre of it!! :rotfl:

    26. Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub (50ml) - WNBA. I know I'm a weirdo but I just don't like the smell of this. I've no idea why - it sounded perfect for my taste. The pot will be very useful for decanting things into :)
  • Just a small UU for me yesterday of Oral B Satin Tape HG.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    Hi ladies, it's been a while. I've been busy with work and busy using up products :)

    IN: someone gave me a body lotion :) I have too much body lotion so this one will end up being given to someone else.

    UU:
    Lush African Paradise shower cream
    Lush turkish delight shower cream
    lush blue skies bubble
    lush christmas eve bubble
    still have loads of lush products left to use.

    I'm currently working on my MAC makeup as well. I decided to no longer support them and I want to use up what I have.

    Why have you fallen out with MAC?

    I put Q*C on earlier while I was doing battle remaking the bed and wrestling with a KS duvet cover LOL, Caroline Archer said that LE will be back in March with their anniversary show, so there might be some decent offers then perhaps?

    Nails sound lovely, I am really struggling with mine again, hopefully after a week of so with Nail Envy or Nails Inc Kale basecoat I might get them just long enough to use some colour. I have the nude NE and it looked quite good with a little sparkle on top, do you have the pink one? if so what do you think of it?

    I have the pink Nail Envy, it is a nice nude colour but I find it a tad streaky in application.

    Willowbee - where do you buy your Lily Flame candles from? Do they burn evenly? This is my biggest gripe after scent throw.

    I have a uu

    Nuxe Micellar Cleansing Water 50ml - this was nice and refreshing but it couldn't shift my eye make up, that Urban Decay Primer Potion takes some shifting. WNBA for that reason.

    Snap! My Foam Call doesn't have long left in it though.

    My bottle is only about two thirds down so it's gonna be a LHJ.

    Yes, I suppose with QVC's "buying power" the kit may be cheaper but then there's the hike up on p&p to consider. We'll see.

    I do own both the pink and nude nail envy though I only have a mini of the pink one. I do prefer the pink one as well as it's a solid block of colour. I find the nude one really wishy washy.

    Look what I came across when I was reading my fb feed for the Laura Geller fan page: http://www.qvcuk.com/OPI-8-Piece-Hawaii-Nail-Lacquer-Collection.product.208044.html

    Thankfully, it's on wait list at the moment but those colours are droolworthy aren't they?

    Can I ask, do MAC readily take back returns if the product is the wrong colour? Emma bought a concealer yesterday that was colour matched against her skin however when she put it on at home it looked orange.

    Will have an IN later as we're going to the Trafford Centre after work to buy a Jo Malone perfume. Fancy a citrussy one or the Willow Wood and Sage.

  • 1 UU, the last of my Avon Bath Fizz's. WNB, didn't really do anything! I have also cut open my night cream so hopefully that will be done soon. It's amazing how much product is still there when you cut open an "empty" tube!
    No more goo hoarding!

    1 in to report Nip + Fab Deep Cleansing Fix , was on half price at Superdrug and I love Nip + Fab!

    1 UU - Derma Intensive+ Hand&Nail Balm, bought from Tesco to use at work and probably WNBA. It was good for the price but I have around 10 other hand creams to use up :)

    Another UU - I'm on a small roll at the moment, with another due tonight and hopefully another tomorrow morning :)

    Avon On Duty 24 Deodorant Stick. Used to be my HG - think this one got misplaced in a house move. Very old (last move was almost 13 years ago!), but still worked fine even if it sometimes showed a tendency to crumble while using. Not available any more, but even if it were I have loads of deodorant in stock I need to get through before buying more. Prefer sticks, but am replacing with a roll-on as I know I'd be too tempted to use all my sticks and then buy more of those while ignore the roll-ons :o
