Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer - WBA, this is lovely and has lasted ages, I took the stopper out to get all the product out.

Currently, trying to UU this ! Good one but I wish I could move on to other products !

Donated 6 shampoo sachets and 2 body wash sachets to homeless donation stand at work.

Also donate a Nivea Daily Face Wash that was only used once.

So 9 GA.

I have another July UU! Yay!!

3. Liz Earle IBST - I decanted this into a spray bottle and used as a spray on toner after using my acid exfoliater morning and evening. WMBA - this was a really nice refreshing step and unlike some spray toners it didn't leave my skin feeling sticky, though I didn't really have a "hallelujah" moment either... undecided if I will buy again or continue searching for something a little more amazing. I have a HUGE bottle of dermalogica toner to get through before I need to decide...though this one makes my skin feel super sticky so it will be hard to make myself get to the end of it

This is my HG product. I felt exactly like you and one time when I didn't want to spend the money on IBST I bought a Nivea toner from the supermarket. I applied that to one half and what I had left of the IBST to the other half and I really could tell the difference. Don't even contemplate buying anything else now.

Speaking of LE there is a TSV coming up on Saturday and I may get it. Need to check in the stash what I have tonight and of course it all depends on price but it is a good kit. Is styled as a home and away kit so has full and mini sizes of C&P (200ml as well), IBST (with spritzer bottle) and moisturiser. Also has full sized Eyebright and travel sizes of shampoo and conditioner. I don't really care for these last three products however if the price of this kit is lower than the usual esentials price on LE.com I'll probably get it.

~My PP List for July

Lush The Olive Branch Shower Gel
[STRIKE]Champneys Vitamiracle Hand&Nail Cream 30 ml[/STRIKE]
Ralph Lauren Big Pony Perfume in Pink 50 ml
No 7 Coral Lipstick
Dream Blush from Rimmel
[STRIKE]Samples as much as I can but min. 5[/STRIKE]
Lancome Galateis Douceur Cleansing Fluid
[STRIKE]Lancome Tonique Doucer[/STRIKE]

Another one from my PP list for the July, Champneys Vitamiracle Hand&Nail Cream 30 ml. It was nice but not my favorite so wouldn't go out off my way to buy it.

I have committed to UU samples and I have so far GA some and used some, so I count this as completed too. I will keep using though.

Also UU'ed Poundland Argan Oil Hand Cream. This was unexpected as I thought it was still half-full. For £1.00, it is a good one, especially to keep in drawer at work. I have another one in my stash.

Delurks.

I have a box full of samples, on top of two bathroom cabinets, a shelf and three bath corners and a couple of bags full of toiletries. It's far too scary to itemise them all at the moment but I am making some progress. And this thread's Pink Rose Candle idea inspired me to finally open a Yves Saint Laurent Opium soap box which has been sitting on the side of various baths for decades. I thought it would be a TA but it lathers, hasn't done anything horrible to my skin and even still has a nice scent. And I now have a free bit of the bath, which feels good too.

So thanks, everyone, for the inspiration.

I loooooove Opium! My absolute fave smell ever!

Tolteca87

Original scent too:) Thankfully the plastic covering the soap kept the soap viable and smelling nice too.

Welcome Tolteca87. :hello:

YSL Opium is one of my favourite scents too and I have an original unused soap in my stash which I can't bear to open yet. I also love Cinnabar by Estee Lauder but have just discovered that they have tinkered with the formula and it just doesn't smell right any more.

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

Oh Gemzie that sounds awful. Did you have to have stitches in the end?
Thank you so much, I'll send you a PM shortly.

Thanks for the reminder about Lilypad Lacquer, I knew that I had a couple somewhere and am now wearing Pretty as a Peach - a lovely orangey/peach holo:D

PM me your sponsorship details please and I will add something to your total:)
