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

    Welcome LunaL and UK0106, and nice to see you posting again wondercollie!

    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!!)

    and a GA:

    1/2. Tigi Bedhead Treat Me Right Peppermint Hair Mask 200ml

    and some INs :o

    1/35. Elemis Balancing Lavender Toner 200ml
    2/36. Elemis Tri-Enzyme Resurfacing Facial Wash 200ml
    3/37. Elemis Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules x 14

    to get a GWP of:

    4/38. Elemis PCMC 30ml
    5/39. Elemis Herbal Lavender Repair Mask 20ml
    6/40. Elemis Pro-Collagen Lifting Treatment Neck and Bust 15ml

    The toner/cleaner trio was bought to take advantage of the rather generous GWP at Debs - I used a gift voucher, earned a £5 voucher, saved 10%, and needed a toner anyway so not feeling too guilty about the £13.75 spend. I *was* just going to buy the toner alone, but the kit was good value (and I'm v excited to try the capsules!) and earned me the PCMC GWP :D These were ordered in Feb but arrived yesterday so I'll count as INs this month.

    UU:


    Biore Warming anti-black head cleanser (or some such name). Did the job. Was a bit strange feeling the product warm up in your hand and as you rubbed it on. Left the skin feeling nice and clean. Will maybe buy again as I've only got two travel sized scrubs left in the stash.


    Ooh, I just finished a gwp sized Lancôme eyemake up remover. Nice didn't sting my eyes. Prefer it to the Clinique Take off the Day that you always get as GWPs. Still using gwp eyemake up remover, I know of four in the stash.


    Are we nearly finished winter yet???/

    More UU's

    11 Rose bombshell bath ballistic WDNBA ever, really did not like the scent of this, a few rose petals and that was about it.

    12 nose pore strips WNBA do not like them, they were from beauty boxes so I use 2 at a time, one on the nose and one on the chin

    13 charcoal sheet mask WMBA nice enough but don't think it really had any charcoal in it.

    14 rich butter cream in Orange honey soaked sponge cake WNBA lovely thick texture which sank in quickly but I have no idea where they got the scent descriptor for this one all I could smell was fresh tea.

    15 lavender soap WMBA not very well scented but lovely soapy texture.
  • I can finally report a UU of Nivea Essential Care lip balm - HG. Glad to get rid of 1, as have a few more spares plus tins of Vaseline to get through.

    It's not too late, people can join in whenever they like. We are very relaxed with the rules on this thread:rotfl:.

    I repainted my nails last night in Maybelline Nude Rose - my all time favourite nude pink.

  • Another UU to report - Clinique Happy perfume. I received it as a gift and probably wouldn't buy for myself, as I wasn't a huge fan - it was mainly a citrus scent. It was quite a summery scent though so nice to wear in the warmer months.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)
