    VALM/Deleted_User - I love the colour tattoos too, I have the taupe one and the bronze one, I didn't get the gold one as I thought it might be a bit bright for me but I'm thinking maybe not if you like it VALM. I like the Max Factor Excess Shimmer cream shadows too but my favourite one is the Benefit Birthday Suit cream shadow.

    I have a uu

    Philosophy Homemade Honey Buns Body Lotion 200ml - this is gorgeous, it smells so good and is really lovely to use. I will miss this - WBA.

    Dolly the gold colour goes on really sheer and can be built up.

    Morning all, hope you have a great Mother's Day.

    UU's

    1) Annie's way supreme diamond light feather mask WNBA a really well fitting mask. I did not like the scent had limited hydration.

    2) SNP Aqua ampoule mask WMBA fine mask fitted well and lasted over 40 minutes stuck to my face without drying out but have others I prefer.

    3) vixen perfume WMA would make again, very easy to make and at some point I will make again but I need to decrease numbers not raise them.

    4) nature republic the first sheet mask WNBA I just prefer others.

    5) body shop spa wisdom Polynesia body balm WNBA nice enough and a little goes along way, the pot seemed to last longer than the normal body butter and it was idea for winter skin.

    6) mediheal dress code black sheet mask WBA loved it.

    7) golden wonder bath bomb WBA another favourite and still have plenty in stash.

    8) olio di argon body scrub WNBA a mix of salt and oil which seemed to leave a greasy ring round the bath every time I used it.

    9) peeping Santa bubble bar WNBA not really a fan of the scent ( yummy mummy scent) lush seem to go through fads of making everything the same scent last year it was honey I washed the kids this year everything released seems to be scented with yummy mummy or orange.

    10) body shop ginger shampoo HG and have a few more left to use.

    11) macadamia oil extract hair mask WNBA I think I bought this from pound world, I don't feel it actually did anything to my hair.

    I have been given a gorgeous Morphe brush set which I feel slightly intimidated by and a Zoeva fan brush. Have had a fab day. Emma has given me a pedicure so am now wearing OPI Get Cherried Away. On my fingernails I am wearing OPI Got a date to Knight with Pirouette my whistle on the ring fingers. Have recoloured my hair so have a hair colour ant as a UU and have used a couple f Elemis PC eye masks which were lovely and have brightened up my under eyes. Will be getting ready soon to go out to eat.

    Have also put a few items on the Bay too.

  • Little flurry of UUs today. Which is good because I have INs again too.
    6. Lush Charity Pot. WDNBA. It just will not sink in! Smells nice though
    7. L'Oreal Elvive Full Restore 5 Shampoo. WBA. I like Elvive in general and this one's a good one.
    8. Nivea Double Effect Eye Makeup Remover. WNBA. It didn't make my eyes sting but it made them water and seemed to just smear my makeup across my face.
    9. Collection Clear Mascara. WDBA. I was going to put this as TA as technically it's not empty. However, I use it as brow gel and it is now completely brown and almost solid from the amount of powder that's gone into it so I'm counting it as UU!

    INs.
    9. Collection Clear Mascara. Replacement for above
    10. Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation. Replacement for UU from the other day.
    11. Garnier Ultimate Blends Delicate Oat Soothing Balm. Didn't need at all. Was half price and smelt lovely.
    12. Palmers Cocoa Butter Anti-Ageing Smoothing Lotion. I had completely forgotten this existed. I get a problem with my skin. I forget the proper name but it's like permanent goosebumps. It's flared up at the moment and I spotted this was on offer in Superdrug. I used to use it all the time and it's the only thing that properly got rid of the bumps so I'm trying it again. Smells a bit medicinal but if it works like it used to I don't care.
    13-14. The Body Shop English Gardenia and Indian Night Jasmine Body Mists. Had 35% off voucher. Have been wanting to repurchase the Jasmine since I used it up last year and the English Gardenia, which was a limited Edition, seems to now be permanent and I couldn't resist because I love it.

    Had a sniff of the new British Rose range in the Body Shop, too. I really liked it but it wasn't included in the 35% off because it's new and I don't think there are many things worth full price in there TBH.

    It's the 6th of March and I am on 14 INs. *headdesk* Must do better. I know I'm going shopping again on Saturday with a friend but hopefully I'll restrain myself a bit. Also, have a lot of things that are almost finished so hopeful for more UUs through the week.
    Have pulled out a Laura Mercier Palette for this week. Well, two actually. One is Safari Chic and the other is Tribal Chic. Safari is quite neutral but Tribal has African Violet in it which I love. They came in a set of three palettes that I got 1/2 price in Space NK in the 2014/15 sale. It is one of my few high end palettes and I hardly ever get it out. Also pulled out Maybelline Lash Sensational Mascara. Saw my sister yesterday and commented on how lovely her eyelashes looked and she said it was this. Which I already had. Wearing it today, had forgotten how brilliant it is.

    Hope everyone's enjoyed their weekend! :)

    dolly84 I've got Permanent Taupe, too. Haven't used it for a while though. I've also got Leather Effect Creamy Beige which I would say is more a mushroomy colour. I've made a decent dent in that one, it's a really nice everyday colour. Looks good with black liner. As I mentioned the Crème de Nude is amazing as a base for powder shadows. Like VALM said, I wish there was more of a range in the UK. There were only about five when I went in Superdrug last. I've got a Benefit one too which I like but, again, haven't used for a while. It's called No Pressure. Slightly shimmery pale, pink-toned taupe? It's nice. I think it came in one of those Neutrals sets. It's so dinky!
