    A UU last night of a bomb bath bomb, smelt lovely softened the water and my skin but left the bath with a grassy residue.

    Some INs a late birthday pressie from my mum a box of toiletries so I have bath boutique bubble bath, body wash soap, body scrub and body lotion to add.

    I love Method stuff. My son loves the handwash. I have just received the color wow root cover up. I hoping it will work well in the few grey hairs I have. I bought some hair mascara a while back but it was so messy.
    Whilst visiting my parents I have UU a small Gatineau defilift moisturiser, an Alpha-H eye gel, a L'Occitane body exfoliator, a foot salve (can't remember which brand) but I have several not quite finished bottles of stuff from the visit to use up.
    It's a pity we can't get together and swap stuff!

    I get both the normal box and quarterly beauty box and I love them! The normal one has lots of yummy treats in and the beauty one has been brill every time so far! This months normal one had the most amazing cookie mix in! We made it and scoffed the lot during last weeks bake off lol.

    The superdrug b mascara was in this months beauty one but I've not tried it yet. All the natural ones I've found so far don't really compare with the normal ones. The only ones I've found acceptable were the bare minerals flawless definition and the origins one but I'm not sure if they are vegan.

    I've also re subscribed to the love lula one for a bit as I'm looking to (finally!) finish what I started and do a full switch to natural products.
    !

    Oh gosh... looks like I'm about to head over then and subscribe!! I'm hoping if I just do it for a couple of months it'll give me a few ideas...

    My vegan friends love Lush:)

    I had loads of things from here off my family for my birthday, it all smells beautiful and is lovely packaging. They just don't sell any make up! At least the lush in my town doesn't.

    A UU this morning in the form of Rimmel Match Perfection Ultra Creamy Compact Powder. WNBA even if the ingredients were nice. It's not creamy at all and I found it quite lifeless.

    Some UU's to report

    Missha Essence - Generous size sample. WNBA simply as it is too difficult to get here.
    Colgate Sensitive Pro - WBA as this suits my current dental issues.
    Vichy Normaderm Gel - WBA when I finally run out of cleansers. I love using this as my morning cleanse, helps keep any breakouts at bay but is gentle enough for everyday use.
    Imperial Leather with Argan Oil beads - WDNBA, far too much perfume in these shower gels. they are very over powering and I hated having to use this particular one up. Delighted to see the back of it.
    Handmade Soap Sample - WNBA, I don't have much use for bars of soap as I prefer shower gels and liquid soaps...that said I have plenty more solid bars to UU also.
    July 2015 - £997 in Debt.

  • Another UU - Guinot Gommage Biologique - this is an enzyme based exfoliator. I like this but I prefer the REN Glycolactic mask so WNBA.
