UU


16. Another Insette cooling mist/spray. WBA
17. Sample of Vichy Aqualia Thermal Dynamic Hydration Power Serum. Very Very hydrating. Would buy this.

Another UU for me. Laura Geller Balance N Brighten. Replaced with new one bought yesterday.

Did repaint my nails last night and am wearing again the OPI I'm Not REally a Waitress.

1 UU and 1 IN so as usual no change to my total!

UU – CCS foot cream – WBA, did the job

IN – Garnier Ultimate Blends Honey Mask (got free so technically no spend. Can't resist a freebie!)

Few more UUs for me.

18. Primark Sea Salt & Lavender Candle. WBA. Really nice scent.
19. Garnier Extra Gentle Micellar Cleansing Wipes. WDBA. Have another waiting. These are the softest wipes I have ever tried.
20. Lush Butterbear. WDBA. Think I have one left. Really like these.
21. Bell Cosmetics Porcelain CC Cream. WNBA. This didn't have very good coverage, went patchy through the day and smelt a bit odd.
22. L'Occitane Precious Serum Sachet. WNB. Very watery. Spilt more than I managed to get on my face!

Have a Superdrug order on the way so will declare INs when they arrive!

I was cleaning my make up brushes at the weekend and I realised that I've had some for TEN years...is this normal? How often should you replace them and how often do all of you clean your brushes? I definitely don't clean mine enough but just wondered if brushes should be replaced every so often?

I don't know about how often they should be replaced but I always try to clean them once a week. Sometimes I might leave the brushes I use for powder a bit longer if I'm pushed for time but I am fairly religious with brushes I use for liquid foundations because I think they're more likely to get a bit germy!

Hello everyone,

I feel guilty but there are a few things I actually need as they are about to run out and I have none in my stash.

If it's an item that is necessary don't feel guilty about. I'm going to need lip balm soon. I feel guilty too but I know its something that I will need.

How long you should keep brushes..

2 UUs for me this evening

TBS Coconut shower creme - travel size WMBA, felt nice on my skin but it really made me fancy a Bounty!

Sheer blonde shampoo WNBA doesn't lather all that well, and my hair didn't feel all that clean after using it. Just glad to use a shampoo up!

Feeling proud today, popped to Asda after work to get some food shopping and they seem to have loads of £1 toiletries on offer at the moment. Historically I would have bought lots of different shower gels etc. Today I bought nothing. Woohoo!!

VALM

Have 3 more UUs:-

L'Occitane almond oil 75ml. We all like this product. Have a full sized and Eco refill in stash.

LUSH Christingle. Thankfully it has gone. WDNBA. I was in LUSH yesterday returning some empty pots and the SA commented on how lovely this is. I told her that I didn't like it and she repeated several times "you didn't LIKE it?" To the point where I thought I was talking with the head of creativity and I was personally assaulting her brain child! I told her that I didn't like the sensation it gave me and she commented thAt it would be great in Summer. Told her I felt the same and that it was a shame they released it in Summer. She then said she could still not believe I didn't like it. I said that we are all entitled to our own opinions because by then I was sick of her bleating on about it. Got a little awkward!

Mario Bedescu Glycoluc acid toner. Loved this product. Made my skin feel really clean. Will have to look at price but for now have full sized LE IBST to open.
