    Small UU of a bottle of Bio-Oil, I think this one was the Aldi looky likey. I prefer oil on my skin to lotions and butters during summer.
    WIBA? Absolutely, great stuff.

    I have a bottle of Aldi Lacura facial oil that is from last year, so I may press this in to action as a body oil before it goes off. A little goes a really, really long way.
    I do like the Lacura Facial Oil, it would definitely be a real shame to sling it but as I use products with SPFs most days and it doesn't make a good base, it's slow to be UU'd.

    Happy Birthday Mrs Moneypenny.

    I have a uu

    Elemis Skin Bliss Capsules 7 day - WNBA very expensive and come with a huge amount of packaging for such tiny things.

    I got the email from Garnier about the 14 day trial but didn't bother with it.

    Happy birthday mrs-moneypenny!

    I received the Garnier samples too but have not listed on my spreadsheet as I decided to stop recording sachets from now on - I tend to use them quickly now and these will mainly be used on my upcoming travels - lots planned for August!

    I have a few UUs:


    14/108. Sanctuary Body Lotion 75ml - from my gym bag. This has grown on me but I prefer butters - this is quite hard to rub in. Nice scent though. This came as a GWP and I WNB but have another of the same size and a full size still stashed.


    15/109. Nivea Firming Body Lotion 250ml - another from the recent glitch, this is fine but I probably WNB at normal price. I think the firming claim (as with all such) is a load of tosh - I don't think it did anything that a normal lotion doesn't.


    16/110. Cussons Mum & Me Head to Toe Wash 500ml - another from a glitch. 2 down, 2 to go. Used to shave my legs, this is fine but lathers pretty poorly.

    2 unexpected UU's last night:
    • Safflower Oil – WBA, I use oil to cleanse but I do like trying different ones.
    • REN Rosa Centifolia Make up Remover – WNB, got it free but I don't really need it.
    No more goo hoarding!

    Morning everyone!

    A very happy birthday to you, mrs-moneypenny!

    Now for some UUs:

    EOS Sweet Mint Lip Balm: As I have mentioned many times, EOS are my HG and I love them all! I have a few left in the stash which will be replenished when I go to the US in October (along with most of Bath & Bodyworks I fear!).

    Burt's Bees Milk and Honey Body lotion 70g: The scent has grown on my but the lotion just wouldn't sink in - very disappointing product. WNBA.

    Garnier Moisture Radiance Gel 1.5ml: This was a sample and didn't really do much but it did sink into the skin quickly and smelt lovely. WNB.
