Just popping on to report that the Vaseline Spray and Go has now finally gone lol! Thought I would get through it yesterday but after triple application everywhere it was still spraying. Had enough today to coat my whole body and now it's gone. Shopped in my stash and pulled out a Beauticology Gingerbread Girl body lotion.

Also shopped in my stash for a primer and pulled out a mini tube of Bare Minerals Prime Time. On first application it felt very siliconey. Will see how my make up fares over the day.

I was wrong the body lotion is actually by Philosophy. Is really lovely. It's a big tube, maybe 200ml.

My makeup is lasting really well with the Primetime primer. Could be a new HG.

If ever a call goes out saying the world could be saved by a ton of shower gel I will be there!

I love watching The Walking Dead and wonder how bad the World would have to become for me to stop wearing makeup!

Slightly off topic, but has anyone tried the Models Own chrome polishes? I have two that i bought a couple of weeks ago, despite my best efforts i can't seem to prevent chipping occurring after only a couple of hours.
I'm not doing anything tasking either. I'm just a bit miffed as they are lovely colours.
Does anyone have any experiences of them?

Managed to catch DD and ask her and she loved the metallic one called chrome Rose she also had a glitter one but didn't like that one much - huh

Hello ladies, it looks like I will be joining you . I thought my stash was under control, but I moved in with my partner and it turns out that I had neatly split my stash between two houses. Now I just have one house and a makeup problem. Not to mention the body butters.

I had a good clear out during the move and threw away . . . three items.

See you in February!

Thank you artypaws! I have the chrome rose too, but it chips awfully. I love the colour though. I love the look of the red chrome one, but i'm reluctant to buy it.

More UUs, and 1 from the PP list. Only 3 more left.

Scottish fine soaps sea kelp mini soap. I liked this, i'm not sure if you can buy it, I got it as a freebie in a lovely hotel.

Beauticology cranberry cupcake bubble bath. I'm not sure what size it is, i bought it in the sale a couple of weeks ago. It smelled nice, but i wouldn't go out and buy it again.

One out:
Reeces lip balm. Sadly this got stuck in the lid and in my pocket. It is sadly unsalvageable! which is a bit sad as i bought it in America.

19 UU/outs and 28 INs

I have 1 UU this week but have hit pan on a couple of things which I hope will use up by next week. I'm also trying to get through my makeup and I am making an effort to wear it everyday.

UU
Maybelline Dream Mousse Eyecolor in 10 Caramel Karma - This was a nice colour and had reasonable staying power when applied with my primer. I also liked this eyeshadow as I didn't have to use a brush to apply it. I would probably buy this again but I am trying to use up all of my separate eye colours so that I only have palettes left.

INs
Gum Hair Double Cream Conditioner Cream 400ml - I got this in Poundland. It's usually more expensive so I'm very happy with that price (I don't really need conditioner but I may as well treat myself to a nice one at that price).
St Ives Dry & Sensitive Skin Gentle Facial Cleansing Wipes (35 wipes) - Got this in Poundland.
Boots Botanics Revealing Body Polish 200ml - Bought for £2 in Boots clearance
Keshi Elegant for Women 100ml - I got this Lidl. It smells nice although I have to top it up every couple of hours. This was probably my most guilty purchase as I don't really need more perfume in my stash. I was going to buy some other perfume in the Boots sale but I'll hold off now since I've made this purchase.

Evening all.

Welcome to all newbies and hugs to everyone who has not been feeling too well recently.

Couple of UUs to report.
Lancôme genifique 5ml sample - WNBA not sure what I thought of this and whilst I got plenty of applications out of this size it didn't seem to do anything to my skin. I may have been using it wrong.
Elemis tranquil touch body polish 150ml - WMBA liked the scent of this, doesn't do too bad a job although personally I prefer something with more scrub.

Looks like my January PP will be moving over to next months as only 2 items have been completely used, couple of days left so really hoping I may manage some more.

Hello ladies,


Just popping by to update on some UUs and the last two are splutterers which I think will go by the end of the month. Baby due any day now so not sure how well I'll be able to keep on top of this in the next few months!


Clarins tonic shower gel 100ml I love the smell of this and it's supposed to be good for stretch marks but I don't thnk I can carry on spending on this after the baby comes.

Lush Rock Star soap very nice actually, not too sweet WMBA

Elie Saab EDP I do like this, but have loads of samples to use, so I'm not in the market for new perfume at the moment. Nice one for everyday

Lush Snow Fairy shower gel 100ml was really interested to try as I know this is very popular on here! I think it's nice to have as a seasonal thing.

Temple spa lip balm this was very effective. It was a little hotel freebie but I don't think I'd bother tracking it down to purchase

Estee Lauder BB Daywear this was great, that lovely cucumber smell! came in a GWP and I'd be happy to use again. I got a good deal on my fave Dr Perricone so I'm using that next

Neela Vermeire Pichola edp this was ok, quite spicy and exotic

Lavender soap this came from my holiday, nothing special, I think the packaging was probably the best bit

Lush Candy mountain bubble bar lots of lovely pinky bubbles, liked this but probably wouldn't go out of my way to buy it.

Tisserand sweet dreams bath oil 20ml this really worked. Combined with deep sleep pillow spray and camomile tea. I would buy again if I needed it - but I think I'm meant to be able to get up in the night for a baby if necessary?

Percy and Reed dry conditioner I don;t really see the difference between a dry shampoo and a dry conditioner, but this was fine. I have another bottle.

Mama mio tummy rub butter love the smell of this, but I still have stretch marks! WBA if I saw in TKMaxx

Elemis ultra day cream 20ml Not quite PCMC, but nice enough and light enough for mornings

[FONT=&quot]Bubble T body moisturiser [/FONT][FONT=&quot]this was one of the most disgusting things I've ever put on my body. Smelt awful, really artificial and was all sticky. There's one application left - can't wait to be done with it, WNBA[/FONT]

I've got some more use ups to report:
8. Lush salt and peppermint bark scrub. I loved this. If it's available next year, I'll definitely buy it again.
9. Calcot Manor bath essence 500ml repurchased as hand-wash. Nice enough but nothing special.
10. Original Source coconut shower gel. Love this WDBA

Still no make up use ups to report though! The spluttered seem to have been spluttering forever!
