    Here's my PP list for the month:

    The Body Shop Vanilla Chai Body Gel-lotion 250ml
    [STRIKE]Avon Planet Spa Thai Lotus Flower Bath Elixir 125ml[/STRIKE]
    Nivea Nourishing Hand Care 75ml
    Aquafresh Complete Care Mouthwash 500ml
    Avon Naturals Sugar Plum Spritz 100ml

    Here's my updated PP list
  • i replaced a full packet of cien lidl cotton pads as they are 40 percent polyester and sound like a plastic bag when wet. I am annoyed as the price went up and the quality reduced. I bought 3 packets of 100% cotton elsewhere.
    Wet n wild mascara in as the Estee Lauder is not amazing.

    UU: Nuxe anti-fatigue face cream WBA - really liked this though probably a bit heavy for spring.
    UU: ESPA tri-active: (carried over from Feb PP list) WNBA it was nice enough but nothing special
    UU: Lee Staford heat protection spray WDBA and have repurchased to replace this. its my HG as light smell and effective
    UU: Body shop shower gel: WMBA it did the job!
    UU: garnier face wipes: WNBA these were the oil ones and they were awful!
    GA: Ojon dry shampoo - did nothing for me and a friend was looking for a new one!
    SOLD: 1 item on ebay.

    VALM - yay to hitting pan on a blush. I am still using my Dandelion and it never looks any different, quite incredible really as I do like a good amount of blush.

    Tried contouring with it this morning then decided my face didn't look any different so used as an all over bronzer instead.
