    This is also UU'ed. I liked this shampoo and I do have also conditioner. Obviously, it has a lot in to UU still. I would buy it again. I do however a Bedhead to use so opened that one instead.

    I use Benefit Boing because I preder a more putty type concealer but I've heard good things about Laura Geller real deal concealer. You could order from QVC and return it if it's no good.

    i will give it a go. hopefully it will be the holy grail

    First, I've been very naughty I have a few ins (ridiculously cheap though and items that will be used) I went to visit friends today and we ended up in boyes and an accident happened...

    I love... Raspberry. & blackberry body butter 200ml. 69p ��
    Nspa passion fruit body butter 200ml. £1
    Nspa passion fruit shower gel £1
    Nspa Apple and watermelon shower gel £1

    Then the UU.

    Radox mango mayhem shower gel 250ml - WBA I liked the scent of this. The consistency was quite runny so it didn't last long but heyho, it smelled nice so I'd still get it again.

    carino herbals shampoo and conditioner (pink) - WBA these were fine, did ok job and scent is nice.

    Hi all.

    I have a couple of uu's

    Elemis Pro Radiance Cream Cleanser 30ml - I like this but wouldn't purchase, all the ones I have/have had are GWP.

    My Little Beauty Sailor Scrub - I liked everything about this, very salty but not oily, smelt great, I can't buy again as they don't ship to the UK.

    Have UUed 2 sachets of L'Occitane divine oil. Think I will invest in a bottle.

    Also UUed up a tube of VS conditioner that came with my hair colour ant.

    Replenished my 30ml tub of PCMC by decanting 2 x 15ml tubes into it.

    Opened my new L'Occitane almond scrub yesterday and found a travel sized oil to use with it. Had forgotten that the oil is runny so used a lot in one go. Smelt delicious though.

    Travel size elemis botanical shower gel - WBA as part of a set but in no hurry to pay full price for it.

    Aromaworks Face oil that came free with a mag subscription.
    does any one know a really good concealer. my holy grail product was one by la roche posey in a fluid and it was amazing. it was light feeling but the pigment level was amazing and was very light colour.

    i have developed rocecea like redness and i don't want to go own the antibiotic or prescription cream route (let that be an option for much later).
    I need a decent concealer that is very pale. I have tried dermablend and the coverage is ok (not as good as the old la roche posey) but the color of the lightest shade opal has yellow undertones. It is very mask like in a too dark shade.

    has any one of used a concealer that is very pale and is a Holy Grail type product. i would prefer to make my "in" the best product. are mac concealers good?

    I can't comment on paleness but Collection has good concealers that doesn't break the bank. What about a highlighter instead, like YSL ? Would it work?

    If you are looking something pale, a corrector might be what you need instead. Bobbi Brown has good range of colours. I'd go and try a couple of them.

    I second bobbi brown, the corrector is the only thing pale enough for my under eye! Laura mercier secret camouflage is my HG for spots and it does go to pale shades. You get two shades in the compact so you can blend the right shade for the particular spot your trying to cover too.

    Not knowing the reasons for your not wishing to use LE since sold to Avon, I don't know if this will make a difference to you or not, but Avon sold the LE business this year to the company who own B**ts, article here. HTH

    ETA - LE is still accredited to the Leaping Bunny scheme.

    i can't believe I missed this!
  • hello , so another month has flown by and ive not posted as much as I mean to :(
    Not much in the way of ins apart from a beauty box and some fancy liquid soap from a friend.
    The outs are looking good - a few shower gels (only got about 10-15 now lol) nothing worth mentioning . I think next month will be good .
    Just going to read back now.
    I like benefits boing and hello flawless - before this I only liked their blush, hated yourebel,the mascaras,the nailpolish....most of their range really.
    the touch! eclait or what ever its called is meant to be the best concealer . The bodyshop stick one is okay but you need to buy the sharpener for it. Dior nudeskin is also ok but overpriced

    Not UUs but I have now decanted some products. My Elemis Lime Blossom cleanser has stopped pumping so have decanted the remainder into a 15ml pot. It has filled this too! Have also decanted my eye make up remover into a spray bottle and sprayed all my make up brushes.
