    UU a few sachets (samples) at swimming pool last night so a few more out:

    Garnier ultimate blends honey treasures shampoo sachet - WBA but have Got full size in stash anyway. Lovely scent.
    Garnier ultimate blends honey treasures conditioner sachet- WBA, as above.
    Nivea body in shower moisturiser sachet- Wnba it was nice enough but I prefer to apply body butters after my shower. I usually shower in the evenings so I'm not rushed. Could see this being useful for people who shower in the mornings though. It does moisturise you well.
    Garnier pure active 3 in 1 wash/scrub sachet- wnba wasn't keen in the smell and I prefer to use something a little "scrubbier". Wasn't convinced it worked any better than cheaper scrubs.
    tresemme oil elixir oleo radiance sachet- Wmba as a full size although it's pricey to me. It smelled lovely and felt like it was doing a good job. I'm using a Pantene one currently though and another of the same in stash so don't need to buy anymore for quite a while.
    Loreal elvive fibrology conditioner sachet- WBA I've had the full size of this before and liked it. I do gave thick hair though so the other elvive ones are probably more suitable. As a whole I like elvive.

    I thought that would be the case :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Seems like one of those products they've made just to get people to spend more money with them!!

    Went into the bathroom this morning to give it another go to find it missing! Emma thinks it's fantastic though!
    L'Occitane are doing another little freebie in the form of a Shea Butter Comforting set if anyone is interested.

    I know, I've applied for one of these. Anyone knnow of any free delivery codes for L'Occitane?

    I used the Benefit lash primer this morning. My lashes did not look anything like the Benefit model on QVC though!

    I quite like this - got it free a while ago with a magazine or something. I find it needs to be put on quite early and left to dry before putting on mascara, but the final effect can be really good with mascara, or natural but a bit of an enhancement without.

    I've been experimenting with lash extensions the past few months - I got a cheap temporary version for my sisters wedding in the Autumn which looked ace, but only lasted a week, and took out a lot of my own lashes when they fell out. Fail. Then got the individual ones just before xmas to last through a few weeks skiing, which I really liked. They are all gone now, but I'll do the same again - but I'm working a bit harder with mascara etc in the meantime to see what effects can be achieved!

    Another UU, just had a riding lesson and gave to go cover at work for a couple of hours now. Had a quick wash, thank god for dry shampoo. Thought I would get this on here now whilst I remember:

    Jelly belly tangerine body wash 50ml- Wmba this had gone gloopy but still smelled lovely. The smell didn't linger on the skin really but I'd get it again as a novelty as they are cute little bottles maybe for travelling. I've got more in stash in different scents from the same gift set anyway so don't need to plus more shower gels than Tesco :o:o:o

    Thanks for this. In fairness I did apply my mascara straight away. Also in fairness in the demo on QVC they did wait before applying. Am just too impatient.

    Hi all,
    Got some UUs!

    10. Gosh Hydration Primer Plus WBA, I really liked this but I bought it on offer and I'm not sure if it's worth £13.99. It did last a long time though.
    11. Mini Kerastase Force Architecte Masque. Only got one use out of this mini from the Kerastase Advent Calendar but I liked it. WMB
    12. B. Micellar Wipes. Good for 49p but not as nice as the Garnier ones. WMBA.

    Also went through my blushers and have given away 3 which are all very similar.

    Off to catch up on the rest of the thread. Enjoy your weekend! :)

    I have quite thick hair too but I still like using this; no such thing as too big for me when it comes to hair! I like Elvive too. Am intrigued by the new clay range. Meant to be for greasy roots and dry ends apparently.
