    One UU from today:

    Carex Sensitive Hand Gel WMBA. Does the job, not as harsh as some I've used, but I've used better.

    One sample UU from this morning:

    Paula's Choice Calm Redness Relief Normal to Oily Moisturiser sample WMB. This was nice, but maybe more of a summer moisturiser.

    Eee, I start my new job today, I'm panicking thinking everything will go wrong. I know it will be fine.

    Have a good day everyone :)

    Hope your first day went well. X

    Which Kat Von D liner is that - I got a free Black Tattoo liner (travel sized I think), with a Debenhams beauty order when they 1st started stocking Kat Von D and love it its great for the upper lash line which I am rubbish at.

    That's the one I have called Trooper. I find that it applies so easily. I have a Eyeko eyeliner in my stash and don't know if it's a felt tip liner too.

    Hi Deleted_User, thanks for starting the new thread. I have my PP list prepared too:-

    Aloe Vera deodorant
    Urban Decay Perversion mascara deluxe size
    Decleor BB cream - mini from advent calendar
    Our Minerals colour correcting primer- mini again from calendar
    Boots Extracts Coconut body scrub 75ml
    LUSH Prince shave cream
    LUSH Lemony Flutter
    Liz Earle no 100 fragrance sample vial
    L'Occitane foot cream full sized
    L'Or!al conditioner from hair colour kit

    I too have sorted out some makeup for this week. As well as my Smashbox Full Exposure palette I have pulled out a Laura Geller eyeshadow and eye rimz duo in Fresco and Bewitched. For blush I've pulled out Laura Geller Tartufo to alternate with my Benefit Dallas.

    I've used NARS Rakugian today which I really like. Had to sharpen this and also my NYX Milk eyeshadow crayon so maybe these will go into my next Seasonal Project Pan.

    Am repaintiing my fingernails with OPI By Popular Vote with OPI Cosmo in the Sky on my ring fingers.

    UU :-

    1 L'Occitane foot cream
    in fairness I don't use this but MRM does. I know I should but I neglect my feet. MRM likes this but prefers a Kureshi one that I got in a Birchbox. I only have a tube of Heel Genius in stash so that will be opened next.

    Thanks for starting us off, Deleted_User. I will hopefully have an eye gel en route shortly as an NBI, it's very, very expensive. So part of me is hoping that it isn't brilliant, as there is no way I will be able to afford to make it part of my regular routine at the moment.
    Some beauty products on 'River' have a ridiculously over-inflated RRP but I think this one is just expensive, full stop. Whilst I was away from the forum I got given 8 ml of runny pink eye cream to review that had an RRP of £150. It was nothing to write home about.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.

    Ooo, I've had a flurry of UUs today. Here's another one:

    The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + HA WBA and waiting for my Deciem order to arrive. I like this, but something in my routine is causing a few bumps, so I'm going to a basic routine tomorrow for a few days

    2 Aloe Vera deodorant I bought this on holiday in Gran Canaria because I forgot to pack mine. Was very wet though and I had to apply it straight after my shower so that it had time to dry by the time I had dried off, applied makeup and done my hair. Have a new one to open that I got last week.
