    Aw Gemzie that sounds really sore. Hugs to you. x

    Just painted my nails with Butter London Sloane Ranger. A bit dark for summer but first time I have used this varnish and it is good quality. Purchased from TKMaxx a while ago and not sure I'd pay £13 for it though.

    One IN - well a freebie. Liz Earler Travel size hot cloth cleanser + muslin cloth! Unexpected!

    asajj, that colour looks lovely (have googled it) however it's a shade I can't wear. My skin colour makes these kind of greys look washed out and horrible.

    Repainted my nails last night and am wearing OPI Flower to Flower which is very summery pink.

    How did you get the freebie??

    Welcome back Babafette and congratulations on your wedding - hope you had a perfect day!

    Welcome VanyaHargreaves - this is a wonderful thread!

    Gemzie - ouch - hope it heals quickly and you're not in too much pain.

    Plumpudding - I'm with the others in that I try to use a mix of minis/sachets and full-size - I find it a it disheartening if I go for weeks on end with no UUs, and that's the position I've been in quite a lot recently.

    I do, however, have two small UUs to report, both from my PP - started these at the weekend and finished last night at the gym:


    5/99. White Company Jasmine, Rose & Neroli Bath & Shower Gel 30ml


    6/100. White Company Jasmine, Rose & Neroli Hand & body Lotion 30ml


    These were hotel freebies and WNB - not a fan of the scent.

    Thought I'd update my PP List as we are one week into July:-

    [STRIKE]Clinique DDML[/STRIKE]
    Elemis serum
    [STRIKE]Elemis PCMC eye serum[/STRIKE]
    UG dry shampoo
    LE bergamot and lime shower gel
    LE Bergamot and lime body lotion
    L'Occitane magnolia fragrance
    MB white mulberry hand lotion
    Sanctuary hand wash
    Champ eyes hand cream

    Of all these products I think the fragrance will go next. It's one of those little bottles that was a mag freebie which you have to tip and pour over you.

    Must remember to bring those Elemis serums out tonight I think.

    I'm getting back into the swing of things. My nails are painted with Lilypad Lacquer Pink Flamingo which is a lovely sparkly neon.

    Really annoyed, I've got lush lip scrub and some gorgeous lip balms to use up and I've gone and fainted and put two teeth through my top lip, really done a good job of it :-( it's looking like I need stitches in the morning. No lip scrub for me now for a long time :-(
    Oh Gemzie that sounds awful. :( Did you have to have stitches in the end?

    Before I had my accident today I uu:

    Tesco spa bath cream - WBA I'm not keen on the body lotion but I did like this as a bath cream, it made a ton of bubbles.

    Oh wow that sounds awful! Hope it heals up quickly for you X

    Thanks guys, I'm fine just feel very silly. I have a very high temperature so the doc thinks that was why I fainted, running tests to find out where the infection is or what's causing the temperature. I'm off work tonight and feel a bit miserable. It was too late for stitches but it's trying to knit together on its own. I look like Daffy Duck as it's ridiculously fat and swollen, my nose is bruised and swollen too :rotfl:

    Hope you are on the mend soon! I did something similar about a decade ago - fainted, teeth into lip and knocked a tooth out of place. An ice pop seemed to help at the time! Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery!

    One UU for me today:

    Random Hotel Shower Gel.
