    I was looking at trying Deciem products once the ones I have are UU what are they like?

    The Natural Moisturising Factors is good, it sinks in quickly and hydrating enough for me. It's just the Niacinamide and Zinc solution is causing me a bit of irritation, so I might contacted Deciem and sent it back to them.

    I put an order in for another tube of the The Natural Moisturising Factors, Hylamide Hydra-Density Mist, and The Chemistry Brand HA3 Hand Hydrator. I like the Deciem website because you can buy things from all of their brands and only pay once for shipping, but you get shipping for free on orders over £25 :)

    I have some uu's and an in

    uu - Nailoid Results Tough N Up - this is a cream that your rub into nails and cuticles, not sure it strengthens nails and I wonder if it is a bit drying on cuticles so WNBA.

    uu - Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Rosegold - WNBA, this was a mini size which came in a set of 6, it was easy to apply and a lovely colour but after a few hours it goes patchy with or without primer and with or without a shadow of the same colour over the top to set it.

    in - Mandara Spa Oriental Retreat Honey Bath 500ml - this was a gift and smells amazing, it is like the Champneys products that used to be in the big glass jars.

    One UU:
    Elemis dynamic resurfacing serum (10ml). WPNB – a freebie with an order (worth £30 in this size!). Liked it for the most part, but seemed to need quite a lot each time, and not sure it really did very much – though my skin is pretty good at the minute anyway. But didn’t wow me. I have another though (same size), which I’ll happily use.

    I don’t normally do PP lists, but thought it would be interesting to try one this month, and see how far I get! The following are all already in use, but some not used very much… hopefully this will change that
    • Hand cream – any
    • Kedma eye serum
    • Skyn Iceland eye cream
    • Elemis eye and lip makeup remover
    • Rituals body scrub
    • Face scrub (can’t remember the brand)
    • Monu primer
    • Erborian CC crème
    • Elemis body wash
    • Bio Oil
    • Organic Surge body cream
    • M&S night/sleep cream
    • Kedma night cream (which I hate, am using it as a foot cream)
    • Lip balm - any

    Edited to add more, I got a bit excited about pushing myself to use some things up quickly :)

    Forgot to mention earlier, that I saw a tiny pin !!!!! of pan on my Benefit Hoola bronzer, this morning. It was good to see that its finally hit pan, but as I use so little of it (being rather fair) I think it will still last forever.

    UU Du'It Tough Hands Intensive Repair Cream

    WIB? Not for me, it's ok-ish for hands and feet but Ald! Lacura is better and more pleasant to use. Not particularly cheap for what it is. If you have difficulty in persuading a man in your life to use hand cream this might do the trick.

    The £42 eye gel has safely arrived. Bliss Spa is what it is, USA/UK brand. Watch this space.

    Hylamide Hydra-Density Mist
    The Chemistry Brand HA3 Hand Hydrator
  • First UU of February.

    Valeur absolut harmonie perfume sample. WNBA. Ok but not really my type of thing.

    I had to sit on my hands for this one, to not order the lot. Free postage.
    A!di Health and Beauty Specialbuys. I did order a Carino Lightest Brown hair colour for £2.49 as they no longer stock it as a regular item and it's my shade. The other two things I ordered were independent living items.

    I have some uu's

    Biore Nose Strips - WNBA, I'm not sure why I bought these as I think they are really damaging to the skin.

    Liz Earle Bergamot & Ginger Body Lotion - this smells of spicy lemon and despite what they say on the bottle I can't see any natural ingredients, it was nice though and the scent lingered but it is too thick a product to have in a bottle.
