    Do you like the American Cream conditioner, I have it and find it a bit odd, I apply and it sort of disappears and does very little?

    The first time I thought it wasn't moisturising, but it actually is once the hair is dried. I like it a lot now because it doesn't weigh my flat hair down.

    I'm in for July. Thanks for starting us off Deleted_User

    I'm straight in with and a very rare out. No 7 nail polish chaperone WNBA. Think it was a make up item for some bonus or other a few years back.

    A little uu to report

    Elemis Skin Bliss Capsules - this was a 7 day pot, 7 lavender capsules for night and 7 rose for day, I used them all at night as I'm not sure the oil would be good in this heat during the day. Replaced with another pot the same size. I like these but they are very, very expensive compared to a bottle of oil - just for the gimmick I suppose.

    UU: Elemis Pro Collagen eye treatment. This is the one I referred to in my PP list. WNBA. Used this religiously for about a month and a half and can see a slight decrease in undereye puffiness and that's all. Not that I'm expecting miracles but considering it is £35.00 a bottle I'd like a little more. Got this in a kit and will not repurchase on its own. Anybody got any recommendations for a cheaper eye serum?
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    The Body Shop Vitamin E one is nice, just a basic moisturiser really. I like Clinique All About Eyes, it has a silicone feel and concealer goes on really nicely but the price isn't at the cheaper end.

    Oooh, agreed - All About Eyes is brilliant, I've been using it on and off for years, and keep coming back to it despite the price. At the minute I have the 'rich' version sitting in the cupboard waiting (I like both versions) for me to UU a No7 Early Defence eye cream.

    The No7 one I'm using is actually pretty good too - I'm in no rush to get rid of it! And fairly cheap if you have a No7 voucher.

    Two small UUs

    Urban Retreats Moisturiser samples - From my PP list - quite liked the texture and it sank in well, but couldn't get on with the smell .... I think it was the geranium that was a bit strong for me. WNBA

    Garnier Ultimate Blends Sleek Restorer sample - WNBA, didn't do anything for me ...
