Which sites do you use to order Korean skincare Sam? I've used Jolse before but would be interested to know what you do.

Also, which sheet mask box have you ordered?

Thanks

I like Jolse ( especially the free postage) I order from Testerkorea this time as they have a larger selection of items and the product I was after, I have ordered lots of samples to try new things out but there is no free postage.

Other companies I have used are Koreadepart, wishtrend ( they have free shipping of you spend so much and a free shipping zone, they also do boxes from selected companies ), kmall24, I have only used these for sheet masks when they have good offers on, it is also a pain to join as it does not like any phone number you put in. Cosme-de I also use for sheet masks when they are on offer and it is free shipping but this company really specialise in high end.

The sheet mask box is skin18, they offer loads of different sheet masks and offers. The sheet mask box is a new monthly box they are offering so for the next 2 months you will get extra sheet masks ( it cost $18 or just under £14 for 30 sheet masks, I can't resist a bargain) you get a choice of 2 and they email you asking which you prefer. They do a ingredients box which is $38 but is not worth it as it is mostly sheet masks or from the reviews I have read. They have lots of offers such as free products but you need to read the rules. There is currently a pop up for $15 off a $30 but I could not get the code to work. It is quite an annoying site to use as things pop up and down. I have used them before and not had any problems.

I really miss memebox still, I have signed up for kawaii panda a British company ( really small) there is one review on YouTube but more on their Facebook group and I liked the look. Not cheap at £21.80 but I thought it was worth a go. I find a group on Facebook called memebox addicts very useful for information and offers.

Gemzie - I bought the Herbal Essences dry shampoo on a 3 for 2 about a year ago for DD and all 3 had to go in the bin, no amount of hot water or pin poking would get the blooming things spraying again. I complained to the company and got vouchers through the post. They are total rubbish.

Oh well such a shame as they smelled so lovely. I wish they would sort the packaging out.

Third March UU: Burts Bees almond hand Creme. WBA. Amazing fragrance.

One in. Living proof frizz shampoo.

INs to declare (purchased in Savers this morning)

* 2x cucumber face mask
* 3 x cleansing wipes pack
* 1 x body scrub

All these items were £1 each so it didn't break the bank. I went in to buy some more facial wipes for my stash. I'm quite pleased that I avoided the temptation to buy stuff I'm addicted to like body lotion/butter and hair conditioner.

Also I bought a little tub of Sudocrem last week - I hope it will clear up my hormonal acne.

UU

Right Guard Women Shower + Oils Shower Gel with Argan, Marula and Almond Oil Monoiblossom 250ml - This was an almost empty bottle that a friend was chucking out and let me have it (I hate to see something chucked out that can be used). It had a third of product left so I wanted to use it up (the remaining product lasted me about 1 week). I thought this was a nice shower gel with a great scent. I would not buy it myself as it contains SLS which I'm trying to phase out from my beauty regime as it dries out my skin. I just have to use up my haul of products with SLS. I've replaced this in the shower with a couple more "almost empties" which I hope to use up by the end of April.

Benefit products are probably one of the better value brands then? Emma has lent me her box powders of Rockateur (loving already) and Coralusta (though I think I've read that the colour has changed) to try as she also has the sweet collection. A few years ago she bought me the Pop palette that contained Dandelion, Hoola and Dallas. I'm pretty sure I finished the Dandelion one but then passed it to Emma to use Dallas as I had a full size. She commented yesterday that there is still loads of product in these.

I have Call my buff and Thanks a latte too. Beautiful colours.

I used to be Benefit obsessed as I found that even though it was expensive it lasted an age so it was good value. Apart from the powder, I seemed to use that up in seconds! I haven't bought any in around a year now though due to their ethics as a company.

PP March
[STRIKE]Benefit Stay Don't Stray Eye primer - Reaally picking the dregs out of this but it seems to be lasting forever![/STRIKE]
Liz Earle Skin Repair Moisturiser
[STRIKE]Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic
Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish[/STRIKE]
Superdrug Coconut Body Lotion

Both of the Liz Earles above finished over the weekend, I think I have some Benefit mini's to replace them with. I just seem to keep finding Benefit everywhere unfortunately! It has to end soon.

Also UU a mini shampoo and deodorant. Have replacement mini deodorant already for when we go on our hen/stag parties in two weeks but will need to get myself some shampoo. OH tends to just use whatever is in the hotel.

Hope everyone had a lovely bank holiday weekend! The weather in Bratislava and Vienna was beautiful.

Used up L'Oreal shampoo nutri-gloss. It was ok. I don't know if worsened the breakage of my hair but it looks really broken 2 inches from the scalp. I have Philip Kingsley elastiser in a drawer; this might be the time to use it.

G/A five items so far more to follow. more will follow as i have to be practical and use things up or give them to a new home.

one in travel size soap and glory body moisturizer. i wanted to sample it after seeing much praise of the range.

I started using my guerlain lipstick gwen (69) rouge G. http://www.temptalia.com/guerlain-gwen-69-rouge-g-lipstick-review-photos-swatches I thought i lost the lipstick but found it again.

I found a website that shows the swatching and dupes of the colour shades. its really detailed as it is sponsored by large companies but i like the idea of seeing the colours of different brands comparing foundation and eye shadows- to find a dupe. http://www.temptalia.com/

I love temptalia and sometimes post on there too.

One thing I have an issue with already though...Body lotion.
I get loads of it for gifts as part of sets and I never use it. It just doesn't soak in. I could put on at 7am then when I shower at 9pm it's still there, sitting all streaky on top of my skin. All of them seem to do this and my skin is pretty dry. :huh:

I've already given any un-started lotions to the chazzer. I'm looking for ways to use up body lotion in a not-as-intended way!
Maybe soften my leather setee? use it as shaving cream? clean my shoes?! any other ideas? :rotfl:

I have a similar problem, I have to rub it in FOR EVER and even then it doesn't always soak in - no matter how little I use.

The only areas it does seem to soak in are my elbow (always very dry) and my feet. So I tend to put some on my feet every other night and pop a pair of socks on top.

If they're unopened, you could maybe put them in with any birthday presents etc? As long as they don't say anything about being part of a set, and not for individual sale hshs :rotfl::p

Thanks! Will definitely look into those other sites. I signed up for Kawaii Panda end of February for the beauty box and he mask box and I really liked what I got. I got 5 full size products (4 skincare and 1 makeup) and then 6 masks. To be honest I haven't added up whether it was any better value but looking at what I got I think it was. I've signed up for the April box too, hopefully that one is just as good

1 UU – Biore Perfect face milk SF50 – WBA, use this every single day. One more in stash but should probably order again soon as it can take awhile to arrive.
