dazed - can't really help with the serum, I have a couple I am using up but otherwise I don't really bother with it.
Welcome back Fixx.
I have some uu's
Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Gel 100ml - love this.
Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel 15ml - WNB I prefer an actual scrub.
Aromatherapy Associates Inner Strength Bath Oil 10ml - WNB in this scent.
Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Conditioner 500ml - this used to be my HG but since my hair went curly it hasn't been any good so DD used this up.
Also some ins
Essence Heat Wave Blush
Crabtree & Evelyn Gift Set with 500ml shower gel, body lotion, soap, 50g hand cream and 25g hand cream (this range is a HG for me)
Korres Fig Shower Gel
Korres Japonese Rose Shower Gel
I will have some ins next week from a Rituals half price sale order. As you can see my no buy for June is going really well.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Afternoon all
Really enjoying reading about everyones UUs.
Doing quite well at the moment. Cleansing, moisturising and wearing make up everyday is helping the stash to get smaller. :j
PP UUs
Spaecco? Body lotion 210ml (WNBA) as this was in a set and not keen on smell
Decleor - moisturising body milk 400ml (WNBA) always been unsure about this one. Would use and put away as not keen on smell. Looked at ingredients and saw it contained coconut. There lies the dislike answer
Elemis - pro radiance creme cleanser 150ml (WBA) currently using another one I have
Molton Brown - shower gel 50ml (WBA) enjoy this gel and a little goes a long way. Currently using a new full size.
Decleor - exfoliating body 50ml (WMBA) currently using elemis so none need at this time.
UU
Radox - Soft care 48hr deodorant (WBA)
Decleor - Bain non moussant (WNBA discontinued)
Dead sea mud spa - Face mask (WNBA smelt horrible)
Origins - plantscription lifting creme 5ml (WBA) lovely, face felt great with this.
Schwatzkopf Live XXL - Plum (WMBA)
Mason & Miller - shower gel 20ml (Sample from hotel)
Colgate - Max Whit one optic 75ml (WNBA too blue and stained sink)
Clinique - Dark spot corrector 30ml (WBA)
Decleor - nutri-delice 5ml (WMBA) not sure if they still do this. Prefer the origins moisturiser
Boots - cosmetic oval pads x2
L'occitane - dry skin hand creme 30ml
Jimmy Choo - Flash 2ml sample (WMBA) quite liked this but have other to use.
Thierry Mugler - mugler cologne 1.2ml (WMBA) again liked the scent of this one but not sure.
Max Factor - excess volume mascara 20ml (WBA) liked this, gave great volume to my lashes with just one application.
TA
Decleor - Natural face oil (smelt awful, possibly gone off)
Sorry for the long post. Will make sure I update weekly in future and not hog the thread.:(
Take care all

Thanks for comments VALM and Dolly
I normally put trousers/jeans/tights on after moisturising with the almond milk concentrate but i've been wearing a skirt with no tights this week at work due to nicer weather so i've noticed it.
Bit embarrassing on the tram when you start appearing to shed skin!
Although can't be as bad as the woman who appeared to be tweezing the hair on her inner thighs on the tram this week...that was a really great start to my day :-/
I've been putting it off but as i've now run out of body moisturiser my only choice is to UU my body shop coconut shimmer body butter. I like the smell in small doses but not when you do a full body and the shimmer is not really my thing.
So I'm currently slathered in the stuff and could not smell/look more like a glittery coconut if I tried.
Hope everyone has had a nice weekend!0 -

Painted my nails with Mavala Marrakech Nail Polish. Lovely color.
Last night, my nails looked good but now with sunlight, doesn't appear that I did a good jobally.0 -
I went shopping yesterday for some shoes, and ended up popping into poundland and getting some wax strips and conditioner, oops
Just wanted to see if they were any good! I possibly have a little too much conditioner now though...
I moved into my new apartment just a few weeks ago, and as I had lots of travelling to do for work, I've only got just got most of it sorted out this weekend just past - last night I went through the bathroom to sort everything out, and it turns out I've got slightly more of some stuff than I thought. I'll try to write up a list at some point this week to get me focused.
What is 4x4 by the way?0 -
Really and they call themselves professionals? I had an issue with a mascara once and emailed benefits customer service who just told me they'll forward their product feedback team my comments. They did nothing to help. I had a look for you on boots reviews (the ones that rated it quite low) and it seems like a common problem. Also had a look on makeup alley too for reviews http://www.makeupalley.com/product/showreview.asp/ItemId=163324/Stay-Flawless/BeneFit-Cosmetics/Primer/-Corrector I hope some of them help you out in how you can use it to make it work for your skin
I have a problem product too. I break out with my pore professional...but if I use it for a a day or two and then give it a rest I get no breakouts. Otherwise if I use it everyday before my makeup I get red spots that are not nice at all.
Thank you muchly! I shall take a look at the links now. I just want to get through it and it be over.
I find the "That Gal" primer to be the best of the benefit ones and I'd never had a problem with it before. Maybe it'll work for you as well!My debt free diary

I liked the sample size of the Philosophy Purity 3-in-1 cleanser so much that I bought a full size in Boots cos it's on offer. And then I found that the St. Tropez Gradual Tan In Shower Lotion is on offer too ...
I will have to make a list of my stash. It'll, hopefully, prompt me into using more stuff up ...
Ooo where is this on offer?!My debt free diary

It was at Boots last week - not sure if still continues. That's how I got mine too.
Usual price is £14.50 and offer is £9.45 I think.
