8. Gold shade from my Make Up Revolution Redemption palette Iconic 2(Dupe for Urban Decay Naked 2). Loved this shade and loving the palette. I would recommend it and wba (but not soon as I have enough eyeshadows to last me a lifetime). 3 shades down 8 to go. Is anyone else panning a palette? I think I'm getting a bit crazy, every time I see a full empty pan I have to remove it and in doing so, I kinda created my own z palette so I can depot a blush and bronzer and add it in.

Ok, so I have spent much of today thinking of my 4x4 products (can you tell DH has been watching sport aaaaaaall day?!) and I'm primed and ready...

By July 4th I will try to:
UU my No7 Melting Gel Cleanser (freshly opened, although I use this only in the morning as I don't find it that effective at taking off a full face of slap)
Hit pan on my Benefit Coralista blush
UU my MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack (this was in my PP list but I have chuff all chance of finishing it this month, so I've replaced it with my Avon Supershock Black Eyeliner)
Hit pan on at least THREE shadows in the MUA palette which I'm trying to UU

Just wondering out of curiosity how many eye shadow palettes other forumites have. Have watched a few YouTube videos lately and have seen some lovely ones I'd like to own (especially a Kat von D one) and astounded as to how many the Vloggers (is that correct term??) have. One of them (can't remember her name) had a drawer full!! I only own two which are the MUA Undressed (is this the one you have FizzWhizz?) and Smashbox Full Exposure and love them both.

And these were in the current L'occitaine freebie set - I couldn't resist as it's a very generous freebie and I can't really afford L'occitaine products normally:

L'occitaine Verbena Leaf Soap 25g
L'occitaine Verbena Shower Gel 30ml
L'occitaine Verbena Body Lotion 30ml
L'occitaine Pivoile Flora Hand Cream 10ml
L'occitaine Shea butter Foot Cream 10m

I'm now sitting here like a lunatic sniffing the tissue paper from the shop as they sprayed it with something that smells AMAZING but I can't work out what it is!

I do love the way they spray the tissue paper. They used to put confetti in the bags as well.

Thanks for this BerdNerdSophie!
I've just signed up for my freebie, go and pick it up tomorrow:T
My fave l'occitane range is the almond...best smell ever. I'm sure after having lured me into the shop with a freebie i'll come out with something I shouldn't!

Watch out cos the Almond shower oil is on offer at the moment. Full size bottle and full size refill for £44.00.

Now that I've caught up with the thread will announce more UUs:-

Tresemme conditioner. Have now got two 900ml bottles of Shampoo and conditioner from the stash.

Gilbert & Soames shampoo - only 75ml I think. Came as freebie on cruise ship. Wouldn't seek to purchase this.

Elemis cleansing balm. this was LHJ. Don't like the texture or smell of this and WNBA. Would actually avoid buying a kit with it in.

Vaseline cocoa body lotion. This was gorgeous. However, when I was in ASDA at weekend the aerosol version was reduced to clear at £1.50 so I bought two cans.

PP list now looking like this. The last two items are feeling very light. Have not been using the oil which I need to dig out and use.

Elemis Frangipani Monoi oil.
Dove Deodorant
Argan oil hair mask

Was going to post photo of my 4 by 4 products but can't figure out how to. Any suggestions?

VALM - I've uploaded photos before but is luck not management that I ever get them on:rotfl:. I have a ton of eyeshadow palettes, Naked, Naked 2, Naked Basics, Naked Basics 2, Stila In the Light, MUA Heaven & Earth, Undressed, Undressed 2 to name but a few:eek:

Re Loccitane and their scented tissue paper, does anyone remember the underwear shop that used to put scented wax beads in your bag, they smelt gorgeous.

I have...
1. Makeup Revolution Redemption Palette Iconic Two (12 eyeshadows in the palette)
2. Sue Moxley's Famous High Five Eye Shadow in Exposed (5 eyeshadows in the palette)
3. Hello Kitty Quad (4 eyeshadows out of which I only have 2 matte brown shades left)
4.Makeup Revolution Ultimate eyeshadow collection (144 eyeshadows).
5. Sleek Makeup i- Divine Sparkle 2- Limited Edition palette (12 eyeshadows)

I am not allowed to touch the last two until I finish the first two.
I purchased number 4 as I thought it maybe useful to have one palette with so many shades rather than keep buying palettes that have the same shades with a few different colours (one of the reasons I gifted my original Urban Decay Naked Palette to a family member which was untouched).

I too got the L'occitane freebie set today! Thanks for the heads up. I've unsubscribed from loads of mailing lists now, good in a lot of ways but you do miss out sometimes!
The lady at the shop sprayed my tissue paper too...I don't know if it's the same or not but she said it was a new fragrance they're launching which comes out tomorrow. Fig and something...possibly Orchid?? Does smell AMAZING so it's probably the same one. i've laid the tissue out on my pillows on the bed so hopefully the smell carries on!

Okay so I have one more UU to report..

10. JLS perfume in Kiss 60ml absolutely love this perfume maybe a Holy Grail for me but I think its discontinued as it was in poundworld and savers. Luckily I have a few back ups. Funny story how I picked it up actually. I went to River Island to check out a perfume a you tuber was raving about. Although I liked what she suggested, I liked their New York perfume even more which must have been £12. It reminded me of something and I couldn't remember at first...but then my sis was like ohh it smells like soap and glory products!!.... so I had to pick it up. Luckily I didn't open it as the next day I went to pound world and found the JLS kiss gift sets which were going out of stock fast. I thought JLS...ME? NAH NEVER! till I picked it up and realised it smelt exactly like the River Island perfume so snagged up about 5 and returned the River Island Perfume. It lasts quite well on me too btw and I love the pure clean smell I have when I'm at work (just like the soap and glory products). I'm not too keen on the body lotions though.

Right okay I've just given myself a headache thinking about how many perfume bottles I have...I won't be telling anymore stories from now on Lol

I had a wander into Superdrug at lunch and saw the new limited edition MUA palette which looked lovely.

Also saw stacks of the Revolution ones. What's the quality like?

Here goes let's see if this links.nphoto of my finish 4 by 4 July.
