    Hi ladies.

    I have been away on holiday since the weekend. I made a cup of tea and had a catch up.

    Gemzie - happy belated birthday. Hope you had a good day.

    cw18 - you've spent the money now so don't worry about it and just use you stuff, you know you wont do the same thing again. Baby wipes are very good for cleaning things - like chrome, kitchen cupboards, door frames etc, you could just add a bit of water to moisten them again and have a whizz round the kitchen with them.

    I will report my uu later when I am a bit more organised.

  • Welcome back dolly84 - I hope you had a nice holiday!

    Two UUs for me today:

    Superdrug Soft Skin Nourishing Body Lotion 250ml: Glad to see the back of this - sick of the scent and took an age to sink into my skin - WNBA,

    St Ives Naturally Clear Blemish Fighting Apricot Scrub 150ml: This was my HG for a long time although my first reason for buying it was because it has natural exfoliants in rather than plastic microbeads which seem to be in many other scrubs which end up polluting the ocean. Although I like the scrub, I'm a bit bored of it now so I'm moving onto my other HG scrub from Boots Skin Clear. WMBA.

    Right my uu's are:

    YSL Youth Liberator Eye Cream 3ml - this was a nice cream but nothing special to justify YSL prices. WNBA.

    Estee Lauder BB Cream 30ml - this has been on the go forever, it has SPF 35 which I like but I prefer the finish and application of the Garnier Oil Free BB Cream. WNBA

    Hello again,
    I'm definitely on a roll ;) I am seeing real progress, I know, I know, I keep saying this, but I am!
    3 more UU in the last few days:

    1x olive oil soap from Greece. Lovely soap, really lasts a long time, loads more in the stash.
    Garnier 7 day intensive moisturiser sample sachet. I do love the smell of this.
    A perfume I made in a perfume studio class on holiday about 8 years ago. I have just found out after all these years! It's refillable! It's a little spray bottle, very handy!

    I have a shower gel and a body scrub with one more use in them too, I'm on target for 20 UU for April :D

    Hola Beauty Queens :wave:

    I have had a very tiring day and I am in a stinking mood! But there is some good news on the NBUT front.

    April PP List

    Superdrug Naturally Radiant Day Cream
    Lacura Restorative Eye Cream
    Balance Me Cleanse and Smooth Face Balm
    Garnier Moisture Match Ultra-Hydrating Rich Cream
    Meaningful Beauty Wrinkle Smoothing Capsules
    Estee Lauder Perfectionist Serum
    Vichy Dermablend Corrective Foundation
    TBS Vitamin E Moisture Mask sachet
    Vichy Idealia Serum sample sachet
    Vichy Idealia Eyes sample sachet

    Another couple of UU from the old PP, the Aldi eye cream which I probably WNBA as I see no difference between using this and my usual moisturiser around my eyes.
    Meaningful Beauty is owned by Cindy Crawford and despite using the capsules every day for a week, I don't look like her therefore I WNBA :rotfl: Actually, these were quite nice, felt as thought they were very smoothing and pore-filling but from what I understand, they're an As Seen On TV job which signs you up for a monthly subscription when you purchase so that's a definite WNB.

    I'm trying my best with the face scrub, the moisturiser is getting there, I'll do the Vit E mask this weekend and the serum is popping along too. The one stumbling block is the Dermablend, I want finish the tube but it's driving me bananas, I look like an oil slick by lunchtime :( which is a new experience I would rather not have had!

    A few more OUTS too…
    UU EverRiche Poo and Dish; WBA, liked these a lot and my hair feels to much better for steeping away from the SLS
    TA TBS Frosted Cranberry Lip Balm; WNBA, obvs, this smells divine but I found it actually dried my lips out rather than moisturising them.
    GA TBS Honeymania Lip Balm; same as the above, I can only use lip butters from TBS it would appear. Have replaced it with a coconut butter from stash (yum!) and given the honey one to DH.

    I bought my hairdye on Tuesday and immediately slapped one box on my roots so I'll count that as two INS rather than 3 INS and one OUT, if it lingers in the flat for less than a day I don't think it can be classed as stashing :D
  • Had a mini shop in Savers so a few ins to declare:

    Cotton wool pads
    Elizabeth Arden 8 hour cream
    Shea butter hand cream
    4 x 10 Pure handy wipes


    Received 1 sample sized Tresemme Wave creating foam which was being away for free in the street. Liking it so far.

    Uus:
    Sure Cotton ultra dry anti-perspirant

    Morning ladies.

    I have another little uu from my bath last night

    Aromatherapy Associates De Stress Muscle Bath & Shower Oil 10ml - have more of this oil and other AA oils in the stash. I WBA on a deal like but no way would I pay full price.

    I have another uu

    Ren Jojoba Microbead Facial Polish - this was a GWP size. WNBA it is very ineffective, it is basically very rounded lumps in a lake of cream. I have (unfortunately) replaced it with another the same size.
