    Hi ladies.

    I have some ins

    Lush R&B
    Lush American Smooth


    I came across a recommendation for these for fine, curly hair. I am really struggling with my hair so it was worth a special trip to Lush to give them a go.

    No7 Cleanse & Prime - this goes on your nails before your base coat and is supposed to help nail polish stay on longer.

    John Frieda Frizz Ease Curl Spray - I can't remember the exact name bu this was also recommended for fine curls.

    I used points for the last two items so not too much damage and I didn't fall into the trap of buying another No7 item I didn't want just to get the free gift which I also didn't want - go me.

  • I tried some La Perla perfume yesterday je t'aime la nuit and I love it. I am being good though and trying not to purchase it, and instead wait until I've used some others up. My Mum also tried some Jimmy Choo perfume and I love that too. Must.use.others.up.first lol
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    I came across a recommendation for these for fine, curly hair. I am really struggling with my hair so it was worth a special trip to Lush to give them a go.

    .
    I want R&B i had a sample last year and apart from the overpowering scent I did like what it did for my hair. Not allowed though till I have used other leave in products first.

    What a horrible day, it has been raining/sleeting all day so I thought I would reorganise my list and post UU's.

    UU's
    Hydrogel eye patches WMBA I do quite like them but sheet masks do the whole face so would only buy if they were on offer.

    2 Sheet masks WBA some I like some I don't and these worked well.

    Aloe water mist WMBA I liked this and think it would be great for summer as it can be used over make up aswell as before.

    Dermahouse care cream WNBA nice enough but still have loads of others to go through, not a favourite but very moisturising.

    Vita berry cleansing foam WBA I really liked it but again have enough to last me the rest of the year so would probably not buy again.

    Lush hot toddy shower gel 100g WBA already have deveral in stash to keep me going. Very much a winter scent doubt I would use it in summer.

    Secret nature serum 50ml WNBA I liked this to start but as it went it just seemed to sit ontop of my skin and not really sink in. Already repalce with another serum from stash.

    Lush joy of jelly shower jelly 240g WDBA this was one that was in lush's main range till it was discontinued about 2 years ago and I really missed it so when it came up in the kitchen I bought 4. They last well past their use by date and can be quite ecomomical, great if you want something to last. I used mine also as a bubble bath by placing a teaspoon or so in an organza bag and hanging it off the bath taps. I paired it with some bath bombs I made in the same fragrance and they were beautiful together. I have not counted the bath bombs I have made as they will go pretty quickly and I only made 7 ( 4 left).

    Murad intence -C radiance peel 10ml WNBA I had very mixed views on this I sort of liked it but it made my skin incedibly sensitive after using it. But I did get 4 uses out of it.

    FCS bath bomb WNBA tiny sample size that covered the bath in petals (not a fan) and was too small to have lasting scnt power.

    Think pink bath ballisitc WNBA dont' really like this, it's a small one and all really it does is colour the water pink, I don't find the scent very powerful but I am not keen on the scent so probably a good idea. This came in a gift set.

    Nature republic mango wash off pack WNBA not my cup of tea.
  • UU here, LUSH Christmas Eve bubble bar. It didn't smell very strong or break up very well but think it was 2013's sale.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Hello again -
    I have been using up all the little holiday bottles of shampoo and shower gel and am now the proud owner of an (almost) clear shelf :)
    I still have a couple that I'm keeping safe for when I go away in a few weeks time.
    I've also used up a bar of Holland & Barrett honey soap this week.
    I'm working on a pot of Nivea lip balm - I find it a bit much for through the day, so I'm using it at bedtime.

    Also, thanks for all the advice about how long perfume keeps. I'm still putting it on , on the days I'm not at work.

    Luxury lush pud WBA same scent as twilight which I love.

    Blue skies and fluffy whit e cloud bubble bar WBA HG still my favourite I love patchouli.

    I made a quick pillow spray from vodka and lavender and patchouli essential oils, I love the scent.

    I've decided to not support brands that test on animals x

    I didn't know MAC tested on animals :( Thanks for the heads up.
  • ma-ri-ella I am so tempted by the look fantastic boxes... really trying not to go for that year's offer

    Upsy I have a sample of J'aime la nuit and you've made me very interested to try it. I was saving it for some kind of glam night out but I might just break it open

    sam.4000 such a brilliant idea with the organza bag bubble bath!

    Some UUs
    Lush bath bomb - don't know what it was as it came with no label and was a gift. It was shaped like an easter egg and I think it had another one inside, and possibly a boiled sweet?! (I admit, I licked it!) Bath was pink. It has been the thing that gives my stash cupboard its smell.

    Clarins BB cream (sachet). I've used foundations with less coverage than this. Pretty good. WMB

    Heyland and Whittle green tea and grapefruit scented candle. I always try to buy soy wax candles, and I have been using this one when I have a bath. Perhaps the scent gets overpowered by whatever I use in the bath, but it seemed quite weak.

    Morning ladies.

    I have some uu

    Elemis Skin Nourishing Bath Milk 60ml - I love this but would never pay the full price for it.

    Aromatherapy Associates Relax Deep Bath Oil - lovely, have more in the stash.

    Imperial Leather Foamburst Citrus - WBA.

    Nivea Soft - this was a tube that the kids use on their hands and faces, it had been cut open and just had a bit left so I used it up as body cream.
