  • Morning all

    Few more UUs for me, these have benn LHJs and I am glad they have finally gone. :j

    18) Decleor hand cream 250ml - WNBA as found this very greasy and took a while to sink in although did seem to do a good job. Now to try another hand cream in the stash.
    19) Elemis pro-collagen cleansing balm 105g - WBA, love this stuff, cleanses well and smells lovely. Another in the stash to use.
    20) Holland and Barrett aloe vera gel 100ml - WBA this does what it's meant for, soothing sun burn. Have another brand in the fridge ready to go.
    21) Elemis pro-collagen body cream (anti-ageing) 50ml - WMBA this smelt lovely, sunk in well and did a good job with moisturisation although not keen on the colour. Have plenty of other to use and the way I'm going through them not sure if I wish to pay that much for a body cream.
    22) Lancome Hydra Zen 5ml - WMB this was great. Sunk in really well and my skin looked lovely and felt soft. Have other brand to use first.

    Take care

    I have UUs

    Clarins Body Shaping Cream 200 ml. The shaping part aside, this is an amazing cream. I really like it. It smells amazing, absorbs easily and leaves the skin very smooth. When I first bought this and used as instructed on a daily basis, I also noticed a difference to my contour but I'm very bad at following "do it religiously every day and in a particular way" type of treatments so I let it lapse. At £40, it is not cheap but I think it is worth the money.

    L'occitane Vanilla Bouquet Hand Cream. I loved this at first, amazing smell and leaves hands very soft however I had this tube for a long time and the scent has disappeared and the result was less impressive. I have loads of other hand creams anyway so not sure when to buy again.

    Nuxe Eye Cream Prodigieux Sample Sachet. Love the texture and I have another one to use. Might look for more samples to decide if I want to buy the full size one day.

    I have 5 sample INs today, I've been bad and used the FeelUnique Pick and Mix service.

    First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum sample
    Caudalie S.O.S Thrist Quenching Serum sample
    Bioderma Photoderm Spot SPF50 Creme sample
    Bioderma Photoderm Max SPF50 Aquafluide sample
    Bioderma Sensibio Anti-Redness Care sample


    To be fair, one of the serums may be used tonight, I need some more hydration in my routine.
  • Evening all

    Am joining Dolly and others in the 5 by Autumn challenge as I finally did my make-up tally and by my standards there is quite a lot.

    I have 116 individual items, which when broken down (individual shades in palettes) the total is 183 :eek: some I have had quite a while and others are fairly new. So have decided to try and use up some of my oldest items first.

    Avon lipstick in apricot glow
    Max Factor lip liner in pink petal
    Collection glam crystals liquid eye liner in le freak
    Nautral Collection nail varnish in sugar mouse
    Urban Decay naked palette in gunmetal

    Just need to find out exact date when this finishes and start creating some make-up looks using the above products first. (may even attempt this on instagram :o)

    Thanks for listening to my ramblings.

    Another UU and this was a LHJ which I am really happy to have finally finished.

    23) Alpha H liquid gold 200ml - have another of this in the stash but will leave for a while before I start using again :T

    One sample UU tonight:

    First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Hydrating Serum sample WPBA. This was nice and hydrating. Very light as well.

    I have some uu

    Crabtree & Evelyn Citron Body Lotion 250ml
    - this was lovely, sweet lemon with a warm coriander scent too. WMBA

    Original Source Eucalyptus Shower Gel - this was from the mens range and DS and DH mainly used it, it was nice but as always with this brand we used it very quickly.

    Body Shop Camomile Silky Cleansing Oil - gorgeous product which dissolves make up instantly but the packaging is awful. The pump has been designed to pump much thicker products so it fires it out then the oil seems to collect in the top of the pump and leaks out. I have another in the stash and I would only buy again if they change the packaging or I have something else to put it in.

    Two INs to report:

    La Roche Posay Serozinc 50ml
    La Roche Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 SPF50 40ml


    I needed the Cicaplast Baume SPF back in my life. It does so many good things for me. And my current bottle of Serozinc is nearing it's end.
