  • Weather is starting to get better. No snow left. Dog off to the groomers tomorrow for his spring clean. I suddenly realized he's turning into an old dog. I'm worried. I swore he'd be our last and I love the beast, floating, fly away fur and all. He's a bit lame suddenly and he's had this crusty stuff on his nose for ages and the ointment from the dogtor doesn't seem to do much and I've worked myself up into fear by reading about nasal cancers in long snouted dogs.


    Off to hug Senor Collie.

    I hope he's on the mend shortly, wondercollie!


    I have one TA today:

    Clean & Clear Blackhead Clearing Cleanser 200ml: I've had a patch of spots that haven't budged for over a month and since I have stopped using this on my face and applied my Witch Blemish Stick instead, they are finally going! I hate throwing things away but it wasn't helping me at all.


    I'm feeling quite sore this evening as I stupidly had a nap in the sun on my lunch break and now I have sunburn (and surprisingly nothing like aftersun or aloe vera based in my stash so feeling very stupid right now!)
  • I finally got round to writing my whole list of what I have and there is ALOT on there but not got round to uploading it because I got married a couple of weeks ago :D
    So not gonna carry on with this month as there isn't many days left, so I'm gonna start afresh next month!!

    Congratulations! I got married nearly two years ago and I've got no idea where on earth the time has gone!

    A UU to report: Aldi Coconut Shampoo. I have used this before and it is great value. My HG however is Herbal Essences shampoo so I'm back onto those again now.

    I cut open my Nivea face moisturiser and that should be finished today.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    Thanks ladies - I will NOT be buying the palette. I have the UD Naked 3 palette and I think that looks fairly similar.

    I have been through my stash and thrown some things away and got some things out to target to UU. Also put a selection of make up into a box and I'm going to swap that around regularly so that I start using all the stuff I have. If I don't like something I am going to give it away.

    Used eye cream for the first time in months last night and today have woken up with one red swollen eye? Will be throwing that cream away! My eye is quite sore. Hoping it goes down quickly - was planning on trying to get into using eyeshadow regularly.

    Hope senior collie is ok wondercollie and congratulations on your wedding chocolate lover

    I have been having so much trouble with dermatitis/eczema/allergy breakouts on my face, not able to use lots of my lovely skin care and have had a splurge of buying to try and find gentle things to use:eek: Time to up date the lists and the signature.

    IN
    LRP Toleriane Cream 40ml
    LRP Toleriane Cleanser 200ml
    R Techniques Liner brush
    Seche Vite (2) 14ml
    Mitchum 48hr unscented stick deo/ap x 2 LRP Serozinc 150ml
    A-Derma AH Repairing cream 20ml
    Darphin Intral Toner 200ml
    Vichy Lip Balm

    UU
    200ml Aveda Pure Indulgence Volumising Hair spray. Product good but spray kept getting bunged up. WNBA
    100ml Vaseline Intensive Rescue hand balm. WNBA didn't like texture
    Mitchum 48 hour deo/ap stick HG
    30ml Hydraluron HG
    50ml Zelens Z Matrix Energy and Moisture Infusion. Was a giveaway win, value £84 but didn't seem to do much, think my skin sufficiently hydrated from using Hydraluron:D
    Lancome Hypnose Mascara 7g. Have bought again.
    Clinique Mascara 4g. WBA great size for handbag.

    chocolatelover - Congratulations on your marriage.

    wondercollie - hope the pooch is on the mend soon, they do seem to be old dogs for such a long time I think, it is hard to see them getting older.

    maddiemay - hope you get your skin sorted out soon.

    KT2802 - well done on coming to the right decision, you already have a similar and far superior palette which you've already spent money on.

    I have two uu's

    Elemis Pro Radiance Hand & Nail Cream 20ml - I like this but would not pay full price, I have had loads of the minis and have another which I have already cut open and two full size tubes of it too.

    Oral B Brilliance Toothpaste - I can't quite remember the full name, I use this in the morning only and it is OK but does not do anything on the whitening front imo. I recommend White Glo Tea & Coffee Drinkers Toothpaste for mornings as it has a wax in it which stops the stains sticking to your teeth and it makes your teeth incredibly shiny.

  • My UU's have been very slow coming. Just one,

    • Soap & Glory Peaches & clean – WMBA, was quite nice, didn't dry out my skin.

    Six IN's though, but in my defence I didn't buy 5 of them!
    • Vaseline Spray Body Lotion – really easy for the gym
    • Garnier Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer Shampoo
    • Garnier Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer Conditioner
    • Garnier Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer 1 Minute Treatment
    • Garnier Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer 1 Minute Treatment
    • Garnier Ultimate Blends Strength Restorer Serum

    Sooooooo many hair products to work my way though!
    No more goo hoarding!

    Wedding and wedding anniversary congrats to all who are celebrating, hope everyone stays in the honeymoon phase for as long as possible.

    Wonder-collie, get well vibes to your senior collie

    Had a TA this morning my own fault a tub of lush hand and body lotion smelt like putty and was decidedly claggy feeling when I used it. So ended up washing it off and throwing what was left away. (Tub will be washed and given to DD2 who saves them for free products)

    I hope your collie is back to his best soon Wondercollie

    Another UU Daniel Galvin Jr shampoo honeydew melon and grapefruit (I think). I bought another straight away, so no real progress on the stash. I need to work out how I will use up some of my travel hair products, that could bring the numbers down quite quickly.
