I suppose the advantage is I'm going to get a lot of lip products UU. I will keep away from Lip Scrubs until they start to feel better. If anyone has any recommendations let me know, think I'll be needing something else soon.

Also any recommendations for Hand creams for seriously dry cracked hands (which have a tendancy to split and bleed). Thanks

My mum swears by body shop hemp - she gets very dry cracked skin and its the only one she will use.

I havent actually tried hemp myself (not keen on the smell) but it has worked wonders on mum i noticed. I personally get on well with the loccitane ones when my hands are really bad. Failing that any body shop one or crabtree & evelyn ones.

I have a few sample size UUs from today. I also deep cleaned my bathroom and got everything out of cupboards. I don't have much bath body and hair stuff at all now, no spares of a lot of things and no duplicates at all. In fact in the new year I will need things but hopefully Santa helps!
Missing having a body scrub, body oil, and decent conditioners. I'd love recommendations of everyone's favourites of those for when I have money!

UUs:
Clarins melt cleanser sample - WNB skin feels a bit tight after I've decided at least in winter, was looking for a good in shower morning cleanser but still on the hunt. Oskias Renaissance cleanser prob still my favourite from a while ago.
Khiels Amino Acid shampoo and conditioner samples - based on these tiny sachets WNBA however my really a fair trial as I have too much hair for the sachets to work. Needed to shove a bit of extra conditioner on in form of TBS rainforest hair mask, which I love the smell of but don't like apart from! Khiels felt a bit too watery, esepecially condition. Like that they're silicone and sulphate free (I think) but seemed pretty meh.
Muster shower gel sachet, can't remember brand. Bit pointless, meant to smell of fresh cotton but very meak.

Body oil possibly the body shop ones? The cocoa butter one in particular smells divine and you can use them on your hair too.

Body scrub i love lush rub rub rub. Smells amazing and does the job!

Aaand conditioner wise, i like lush r&b as a general hair moisturiser. I like the smell. I always run a bit through wet hair before i blow dry it. Makes my hair lovely and soft. The conditioner im using in the shower xurrently is really good too and was a bargain. Its schwarzkopf essence ultime and its in blue and white packaging. I keep finding them in pound shops or poundstretcher. All the essence ultime ones seem to be really good.

Have some IN's to report:
4&5. Giorgio Armani Lip Magnet Sample x2 Freebie and for some reason they sent two? Just tried on and feels lovely plus a lovely colour (400). Will be taking with me on my hols.

6. Garnier Invisible Deodorant Running out of my current deodorant.

Just UU my current deodorant:

14.Sanex Invisible Deodorant WBA when it's on offer. Will replace with a half used Simple deodorant which I'm not a massive fan of. Saving my new one for my hols.

Two UU's:

• Radox Bubble bath – WBA
• Soap & Glory THE SCRUB OF YOUR LIFE – WNBA unless it was part of a set

I'm using Scrub of your Life at the mo too and whilst it's not awful I'm not feeling a wow factor from it.

attention Elemis PCMC fans!

Tatler have a Elemis promo on at the moment - free 15ml PCMC with the December edition (in M&S at least, I've not checked other stores) plus a discount card for £20 off an £80 spend on elemis online.

The magazine is £4.50 - so not the cheapest, but a reasonable spend for anyone looking to try PCMC.

And for those who really love PCMC there is also a promo for 3 free travel sizes on the website at the moment, including another 15ml PCMC (though it's the ultra rich version). And as PCMC 50ml jar is £80, you could combine the lot as follows:

Buy Tatler, use the code on one PCMC 50ml jar, and so spend £64.50 (£4.50 for the magazine, and £80 - £20 discount card) to get:
- PCMC 15ml
- PCMC ultra rich 15ml
- PCMC 50ml
- plus two other travel minis out of


which isn't a bad deal overall!

Or just buy loads of copies of Tatler for the 15ml PCMC at £4.50 :rotfl: (6 copies at £4.50 = £27 for 90ml of PCMC!)

Oh my word. Will have a look for Tatler on my travels to fill the gaps! To be fair I've now lost track of how many 30ml pots I bought at weekend (4 I think). 30ml lasts me a month and a half so that's 6 month's supply. Considering MrM has saved loads of money already he may be happy to spend £60 on a 50ml pot.

Thank you.

A UU and a TA:

UU: Lush Cup o Coffee. HG. Replacement already bought. Enough said :rotfl:

TA: Smashbox Razzle lipgloss. Very old.

Thank you so much some excellent suggestions there! May treat myself on pay day to a body oil,TBS good suggestion!

Going to soldier on using up a very sludgey lush shampoo bar and the rest of a body shop conditioning hair mask, and a bottle of conditioner I'm not really get on with. Then I will try some of these suggestions. Love the idea of My hair smelling of lush!

I have some UUs

Sample of TBS clay mask, think it is a radiance one something about the Himalayas can't remember! WNB little bit coarse for me, and very lumpy due to flakes of something in it. Left my skin nice though so if you don't mind a thicker grainy texture and like a bit of an exfoliation you may like it!

Sunday Riley Artemis facial oil sample. WMB. I bought Juno on a recommendation from space nk but now slightly wish I'd gone for Artemis which was my initial choice. It seems nicer somehow. It's very thick but it seems to be nice when on. Weirdly my other sample has gone all granulated which only happened to the one of them! Still going to UU as don't think it's gone bad necessarily.

The weather, I assume in part, is making my skin awful. Although I have also been eating chocolate and too much sugar generally! I have huge spots erupting and dry patches near to mouth. Sigh.

tried charlotte tilbury eyeshadow- nice but still have soo much
