Gemzie - your little hamster sounds like a lot of fun.

VALM - I have a few Too Faced palettes and they are really lovely.

I have some uu's

Elemis Apricot Toner 50ml - I like the glycerine in this but WNB as it will be expensive. I have replaced it with another one the same.

Morocconoil Moisture Repair Shampoo 50ml - this is very thick and luxurious and smells amazing, I would happily use again but wouldn't buy as it didn't do anything special for my hair.

Ooh which palettes have you got?

A UU to report:

No 7 night cream - I got this as part of a set. It's OK, quite thick and lasted well. Not sure if I would buy it at full price but maybe again as part of an offer. Replaced with my Yes to Carrots one which also has a good consistency but I'm disappointed it doesn't have the scent that they used to have when they first came out.

INs:

Papaya Gold PAWPAW moisturising balm - I can't explain how excited I am to be able to get this in the UK! I used this religiously when I was travelling Australia and it's amazing. I tried to get it online when I came home but it was extortionate. Found it in Boots for £5.99 which is pretty expensive for a lip balm IMO but it's my fav and it lasts FOREVER. Highly recommend this product.

Gillette Venus razors

Cotton pads now that I'm obsessed with miscellar water


Hope everyone is feeling better. It's rubbish when you're not happy at work. The atmosphere in my work is very poor too. I'm just trying to not get dragged down by it which is easier said than done!

I keep receiving Paw Paw emails for some reason.

Gemzie121: Theo sounds like he'll keep you busy. And if you did end up treating yourself in Lush, I'm sure we won't tell anyone!
savingfortomorrow: hope things are on the up!

Couple of UUs
21. Lush Olive Branch Shower Gel. WDBA. I really liked this. It's very runny so had to be careful not to be too wasteful but it's lovely. I also used it as bubble bath and it worked really well.
22. Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo. WNBA. It's all right. I find Aussie very hit and miss. This was nothing special.

Hope everyone's having a good week so far. So glad my work week is nearly over!

Theo definitely will keep us busy! He's like a hamster version of my brother when he comes home from uni in that he made himself at home right away, moved everything about, turned everything upside down and generally made a mess :rotfl: theo is currently doing cage acrobatics as I type! I'm scared he's going to hurt himself as he keeps launching himself off things and hanging from the bars, he's an absolute live wire. So friendly though, as soon as he hears us he's up and out and waiting for us to give him attention.

I did go to lush today and there is a bit of damage as I got carried away with all the lovely smelling things but I'll do the UU first. They didn't have the shower gel I wanted but I did smell the yummy mummy and loved it but they had no 100g left and as I get bored quickly I wasn't sure if I wanted to get the £9 one so I didn't in the end. I might order the two of them next month in a 100g size if I get some birthday money/get them on eBay instead. My friend is a total convert and bought a load too.

Uu's first, been swimming and used a couple of sachets too:

Garnier ultimate blends marvellous transformer shampoo sachet - WMBA as full size. The smell didn't wow me or make me want to go out and buy it so I'll leave it as a might try in future. Nice enough, but there's other smelling shampoos I prefer more. Also ultimate blends have so far all dried my hair a little.

Garnier ultimate blends marvellous transformer conditioner sachet- WMBA, as above.

Simple refreshing facial wash gel 50ml- WBA fine, does the job well and cheap enough in this size. I like these.

Elvive anti dandruff colour protect shampoo- WBA smells pleasant and did the job well.

Nspa raspberry body butter 50ml- WMBA but not my favourite scent as there's others I prefer. It was fine and I do like the consistency etc of the nspa butters. This one was in my swimming kit bag.

INs:

Needed to get some loose powder so as I have a health and beauty card popped into superdrug to get my points, I won't list the powder as I don't count make up for this challenge as that's not my real problem area.

2 x johnsons eye make up remover pads (30 in each pot) - these were 3.99 reduced to 1.50 on clearance so I grabbed these as I like the johnsons night cream I'm using and these will be handy for work for my sleep ins.

2 x sensodyne repair and protect toothpaste 1 daily 1 whitening

Lush ins:

Ladybird bubble bar
Big Bang bubble bar
Creamy candy bubble bar
Bouncy bunny shower jelly
Refresher shower jelly
Karma soap
Rock star soap
Layer cake soap
Somewhere over the rainbow soap
1/2 pot lush rub rub rub (me & friend got one between us and split the pot I've decanted mine into a lush pot I already had. They don't seem to sell the smaller gift set sized pots only the bigger ones)
1 carrot bubble bar (the ones that have 3 on them my friend gave me one. On sniffing it's my fave snowman scent so I might just have to go back and get myself some)

My big calm shower jelly (large size pot) also arrived.

So x 16 in :eek:

Forgot to mention I will be GA my lush intergalactic bomb to my friend as she really liked the smell and the demonstration in store. She was kind enough to give me a carrot so I am looking forward to surprising her with this.

VALM

Nice little LUSH haul there Gemzie.

No UUs for me as yet though my tube of PCMC has now been cut open and doesn't have much product left.

Repainted my nails last night and am wearing Red by Rubie and Millie. Not sure if this brand is still around? This colour is a good dupe for OPI I'm not really a waitress.

Does anyone know how long it is before Too Faced new releases hit the UK shelves? I thought that the Peach palette would be launched worldwide yesterday but it wasn't and by the time I realised this it had sold out on their site. They are offering free shipping at the mo too.

DreamyP

I have one UU.

5. M Savers Anti Perspirant Roll on. Worked a treat for me. Someone wrote a really good review on it and I had to buy it. Well their review was honest and I really enjoyed using it. It did its job and had a nice subtle scent. WBA. If you're in a bit of a pinch. I'd recommend it.

I think I may prefer a roll on. The sprays just recently have made me start coughing really badly. Never used to happen before.

dolly84

DreamyP - a roll on is supposed to be more effective than a spray and I tend to agree.

VALM - I have the Too Faced Natural Eyes, Romantic Eyes, Matte Eyes and the big holiday palette A Few of my Favourite Things. I love them all.

I have a uu

Emma Hardie Moringa Balm 100ml - this is the last of many pots that I bought, this had started to get a few crystals in it but still worked just as well. WBA but I think it may be getting quite expensive now.

Gemzie121

One UU to report from last night:

Boots heavenly jasmine flower chamomile & aloe miracle face mask sachet - WBA it's an odd smell but I quite liked it. Not sure if it did anything drastic but still a nice little mask to have on as a treat before I went to work. Sadly I think these have been discontinued as they aren't on boots website. My only gripe is that there was slightly too much product in the sachet it could have done 2 or 3 uses but would go off though probably could decant it into a pot or something.
