I have decided that if I ever have to buy a mascara, the brush is really important. I had one of those wand type brushes, I hated it and chucked it after the second use. Nearly took my out with the damned thing. And why is it so difficult to find brown-black or even brown mascara???

I'm with you on this one. The only brush that works for me is a thin spindly one. I've recently tried the Benefit Roller Lash one that was a mag freebie and that's awful as I can't get the curved bit near enough to my lashes! It really annoys me too that brown mascara seems to be frowned upon !

I lost a few days of my life thanks to a nasty bout of the flu but I'm back now!

I have a UU:

1/40. S&G Righteous Butter 200ml - a sale bargain and enjoyed using this, WBA especially at that price (£1.80!!)

Sorry you've been poorly Sundaysgirl but glad you are back on the mend. There are some truly awful viruses going around at the moment.

Am well impressed at the price you paid for that Righteous Butter. I have one of these on the go at the moment and had forgotten how lovely it is.

Been a bit naughty today and bought two mags for the freebies. Glamour for the Nails Inc nail polish and Bazaar for the PCMC (not that I'm trying to encourage anyone )

Thanks for posting this. I may have picked up a few copies of Harpers Bazaar Mwah Mwah Mwah.

Boots extracts cocoa butter body butter - HG product I love the scent and the texture and everything about it. It's really rich and just lovely :-D got a big one and another two minis in stash so don't need to buy more yet but definitely will when those have been used.

The boots mango butter mini is nearly finished too, won't be long with that one.

I'm with you on this. I'm using a small tub of the Strawberry one at the moment. The texture is so light and they don't smell synthetic.

Marc Jacobs honey body lotion - LOVE the smell of this, so much so i'm considering the perfume...oops

I agree with you on this but have to say that I don't love the perfume as much. Maybe it's a little too sweet for my liking.

I've got a quick (and quite stupid) question I am sure someone will be able to advise me on - got a couple of bottles of Percy and Reed dry conditioner in the stash. I've only used dry shampoo before (batiste). Should I use dry shampoo before dry conditioner or will the conditioner do the same job as dry shampoo? Basically, is it the same as dry shamppo?

UU's
16 Derma care lotion 50ml WNBA another from meme, sank in really easily but have too many still and I like mine scented.

17 Green Bubbleroon WNBA prefer other scents

18 green day bubble bar WBA really like this one.

19 cinders bath ballisitc WBA love the scent of this one.

20 belief Hungarian water essence WBA I found this very hydrating and it's fairly cheap.

21 lancome multi lift 15ml cream WBA if there was a good offer on but only when I have used up a lot more face creams so that will probably be towards the end of 2016.

IN
1 bottle of Lord of misrule perfume which I paid well over the odds for and even though I have 2 other bottles I really felt I needed/ wanted another.

I love the lord of misrule perfume too!
Love your Lush stash, mega jealous of it

Had some out's today...

GAs: Acqua di gio perfume

Uu to declare, no ins since last post!!

L'occitane almond milk concentrate sample: love this range, cream absorbed quickly and left skin lightly scented and soft, wba when I have used up other body creams
L'occitane 25% Shea butter body cream: nice rich cream, good for winter skin, didn't leave skin sticky as I thought it might wmba
Apivita orange face mask: left face glowing and smooth, wba and have another in stash
Garnier oil beauty lotion sample: advertised as containing oils which are good for the skin but second or third ingredient is mineral oil, so not sure how much the oils would do for the skin. Wnba
Lush secret garden bath bomb: lovely rose scent, but left bath water harm murky green!! Wmba
Ren vita mineral emollient rescue cream: used this on dry patches on hands, but due to the thick nature of the product, it did not sink in quickly and left hands sticky, was only a sample size but wnba
L'occitane repairing shampoo, conditioner and mask samples: left hair silky soft and smooth, quite expensive though so wmba if on offer
Apivita ginkgo biloba eye mask: did not cool the eye area as expected, but left skin very well moisturised. Wnba as I use my eye cream to keep under eyes moisturised.
Lush pink fun: have used red and green before but pink is my favourite! Wba and have a back up in the stash

Also, was sorting out makeup today and have a variety of gently used eyeshadows that I would be happy to swap, don't want to see them go to waste! If anyone is interested please PM me.

Chanel illusion d'ombre - Emmerville (half used)
Charlotte Tilbury colour chameleon - champagne diamonds (used maybe twice?)
Benefit Easiest nudes kit (not in box, cream eyeshadows used a few times, powder eyeshadows used maybe two or three times. Cream eyeshadows are loose and powder shadows have been depotted into a Mac quad)
No7 powder shadows - (samples so not sure of names) a cream, a shimmery mid tone golden brown and a shimmery deep brown

Two UUs today:

The Body Shop Vanilla Brulee Shower Gel 250ml: Nice scent although it was a little sickly at first. WMBA.

The Body Shop Honeymania Lip Balm 10ml: One of the things from my advent calender; Not fussed by the scent and I'm not keen on lip balms that I have to apply with my finger but it was very moisturising. WMBA.

And one naughty IN from Glamour magazine - as justification, I am going to be at the hospital for most of the day tomorrow for an appointment so I needed something to read for the obscene wait times!

Balance Me Radiance Face Mask 30ml

A bit slow going but one UU from me : Clearasil Superfruit Refreshing Pads (65 pads). WBA but still have couple of boxes as I got them from Poundland. It cleans make up very nicely.

I had 4 INs yesterday:

2 Herbal Essences shampoos, as they were in the reduced section at Wilkinsons and they are my HG.
1 Herbal Essences conditioner, to replace the spare that will be opened shortly.
1 Sally Hensen top and base coat. I am painting my nails a lot again and so I thought I better get a spare.

I also have one UU: Nivea facial wipes. These did a good job but I'm happy to be back to my Simple ones again.
