    UU6: dove purely pampering body wash with shea butter and warm vanilla 250ml. Was a Christmas gift but would consider buying once all shower gels UU. Was nice for shaving my legs too.

    spf in bioderma and free after sun (not that i will be exposed to the sun)

    I have an addiction to shopping when i am troubled or anxious. I find that i shop and try and distract myself.

    Thanks for the new thread Deleted_User, I am in again this month. two UU so far this month Liz Earle face moisturiser tub. its one of my HG items, I have replaced it with a tube of the same moisturiser. My other UU is my deodorant and have replaced it with one from my stash.

    I need to find a natural spf face cream, I used to use Olay but then I had a severe allergic reaction to it. Last year I had Neals yards spf face cream but it was so hard to put on and made me look like a ghost. I have a problem with chemicals in normal moisturisers, has anyone tried green peoples spf face cream or any other natural brands?

    I've tried Liz Earle in the past and found that difficult to apply too. I really like Hawaiian Tropic but don't know what ingredients are in it.

    LUSH Prince
    Full size Original Nail Envy
    Mini Pink Nail Envy
    Nuxe facial oil
    Nivea Pearl deodorant
    15ml Elemis PCMC
    LUSH Cup o Coffee
    Boots Extracts Mango body scrub
    No 7 facial wipes
    Australian Bodycare Tea Tree Skin Wash
    L'Occitane lavender hand cream mini tube

    Have just tried the Body Shop face mask for first time and my face feels so smooth.

    Am now soaking off the gel colour I had on my nails and am going to repaint with OPI Miso Happy With This Color.

    I got quite excited at my first Laura Geller make-up to review. A Fifty Kisses Liquid Lip Colour. Unfortunately this latest NBI wasn't suitable for me.
    I got offered some Olay eye cream though, hope that arrives. 15ml doesn't last long, even with rice-grain sized application, eye cream is always welcome.

    Accidentally found a HG in TKMx. Neroli Oil sheet masks. Tried one. Cleared up areas of redness, healed up two deep cysty spots, massively improved the other one, which is continuing to improve and cleared the little whiteheads. Skin did feel massively oily the next morning but now feels so much smoother. May need to restock when I walk past the shop next week. I've only got 4 of the 5 in the pack left and only a fiver.

    I need a trip to LUSH as I'm low on both Prince and Cup o Coffee. Will buy Emma some bath bombs/bubble bars whilst she's home. Any recommendations?

    I only managed to soak off the gel on my left hand yesterday and still not fully. May have to wear darker colour.

    Have just put more items into my stash that I don't think I declared at the time. Before we went away I had a go on the Tombola in my local Sainsburys in aid of Red Nose Day. Won a Dove set containing two full sized body wash and a body puff and a Sanctuary gift set conta huge coffee cup, body butter, body scrub, bath milk and bath float. Was going to give the Sanctuary to a work mate at Christmas but Emma wants the cup.

    UUs:

    Superdrug Super berry exfoliating mask: WBA
    , good value for 99p.
    Bebe Cadum Soap free bath oil: WBA, was expensive compared to my normal aqueous cream but good value overall as it lasted several months and was moisturising.
    Sally Hansen double duty base and topcoat
