    Still a slow month UU-wise, and up and down month in real life ... The beginning few months of the year have been horrible for the last few years - dunno why it always works out like that ...

    Aaanyway ... one UU

    Soap and Glory Facial Wash - the sample one a few of us got - Nice enough, but probably WNB as I'm not sure it was doing anything for me. It has scrubby bits in, but don't know why they were there are there weren't enough to do any good, and was it supposed to be a wash or a scrub? :huh:
    PP list for March:

    Pure Chimp Solid Shampoo Bar
    Dove Straightening Serum
    Good Things Five Minute Facial Face Mask
    Garnier Anti Blemish Foam Wash
    Stella McCartney L.I.L.Y Perfume
    Soft and Gentle Wild Rose and Vanilla deodorant
    [STRIKE]La Roche Posay Effeclar Duo Moisturiser[/STRIKE]
    B. Nourished Night Serum
    Simple Clear Skin Oil Balancing Moisturiser
    [STRIKE]Yes To Cucumbers Facial Wipes[/STRIKE]
    Silvikrin Hairspray

    I bought an M&S one in the Xmas sale for £1. I can't find it on their website, so they might not do it anymore, but worth a look in stores.

    Cheers, I popped into day but no luck our local M&S seem to have only a tiny beauty section. I did find one in Superdrug a Barry M one which has got to be better than the OPI one.

    I will update later as my little afternoon nap has turned into 3 hours.:D

    Been shopping today. Spent my boots voucher but I also sinned in lush. I've been very very naughty :o:o:o

    Before I confess my sins, a UU to report:

    Roberto cavalli eau de parfum 50ml - WBA one of my most favourite scents. I'm gutted this is finished but I have soooo many others to use up. I love this because not only does it smell lovely but the scent really lingers, you can still smell it on yourself at the end of the day. I do have a tiny bit left in the mini handbag one that came with it so I shall ration the 5ml or so left in that now. I might get this again when I've UU 5 of my cheaper ones that would be an incentive to. I've a few on my list of the more expensive ones I'd like but won't buy myself until I've finished what I have, plus I got an S&G one today - those are another Roberto cavalli, Elie Saab and modern muse.

    Now for the sINs:

    Spent my boots gift card today. I actually ended up being able to get more than I had set out to as (not enabling!!) but at least in my store most soap and glory was on clearance, I don't know why. The fragrance sprays (the big perfume ones that are usually £10) were down to £3.50 each :eek: but still on the 3 for 2 so basically paying £7 for £20 worth. So I picked up 3 of the smaller body mists too. One of the body mists and one of the perfumes has been given to my mum so I won't count them as ins. I also picked up a hand gel as I'm currently using the original pink one at work when I do sleep ins before I eat etc and I love it so I got the sugar crush to try.

    Boots ins:
    S&G sugar crush antibacterial hand gel
    S&G sugar crush perfume 100ml (love this already got one on the go so got another to put away)
    S&G fruitigo perfume 100ml
    S&G smoothie star body mist
    S&G fruitigo body mist

    Then I ended up in lush :o they only had 500g left of yummy mummy, I was kicking myself. I sniffed it again though and still loved it so the 500g kind of jumped into my basket.

    Lush ins:
    Yummy mummy 500g
    Pearl massage bar
    Bunch of carrots bubble bars

    INs
    Pantene deep conditioner from pound world
    3 x lush products bought on eBay including the sunflower bubble bar which is why I bought it

    UUs
    59) innis free olive hydrogel mask WNBA I am not a fan of hydrogel masks even though they are supposed to be better than the sheet masks. I found it did not adhere to my skin that well and after 15 minutes it was falling off.

    60) lador hair filler ( deep conditioning treatment ) WDNBA loved it well my hair did anyways so much so I have ordered 20 of them plus other bits and pieces.

    61) boots dry shampoo WBA I bought it when it was on offer for £1.50 almost as good as batiste.

    [EMAIL="http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q607/VMARTIN57/image.jpeg"]http://i1166.photobucket.com/albums/q607/VMARTIN57/image.jpeg[/EMAIL]

    Here is photo of items I hope to UU this week though it's hard to tell how much product is left in the eye cream, moisturiser and exfoliator. Am a bit miffed that I'm working my way through the Bliss tube so quickly. Is lovely stuff and I want to repurchase.

    2 more UUs:-

    Jack Wills Hope Cove hand cream. WDBA although would use it fresh. Am quite impressed that it kept a nice fragrance despite its consistency changing. Have replaced this with L'Occitane rise Shea hand cream from stash.

    Lush Defluff. Repurchased yesterday in readiness.

    I have never used lush products before but everyone always raves about them.

    I'd like to treat myself, maybe a gift set would be best?

    What would you ladies reccomend?
