    Rimmel - Stay Matt Pressed Powder 005

    I have some uu

    Philosophy Shortbread Cookie Shower Gel 500ml - loved this and have more in the stash.

    Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter Body Butter 200ml - WMBA, smells lovely but does tend to ball up if I use too much.

    Nip & Fab Glycolic Pads - this was a pack of 10 which were free as a trial, I'm not keen on products that make your skin sensitive to the sun so WNB and 10 wasn't really enough to see what benefits they did have.

    Avon Free for Her - this was a free sample vial, WNB, I never even smelt it whist wearing it.

  • Hi everyone,

    Argh I've been useless lately haven't been keeping track of ins or outs at all, and definitely being spendy!

    Off on holiday later so will be using up a chunk of my samples stash!

    Here's a few UU from last few days:

    Samples
    Terry Serum - WB this was lush but no idea how expensive it is, I am guessing very!!!
    Philip Kingsley hair conditioner - WPNB was nice but nothing incredible
    Omorovicza ultra moor mud mask - WB if had more money, this is lush, I've never used glam glow but it seems similar to their new blue one

    Full size
    Mio double buff scrub - WDBA this is pricy but amazing
    Khiels body lotion (medium/smaller size) - WBA as above
    Lush blackberry bath bomb - WPNB as stained bath and had to clean after
    L'Or!al mascara

    May have some naughty ins at duty free, also had some naughty ins a while back. Will try to list here:
    Lush shampoo bar, conditioner and blackberry bath bomb
    L'Or!al mascara
    Charlottesville tilbury double ended under eye wand
    Collection 2000 waterproof mascara for holiday

    I am determined that given some more time that more "stuff" in every category imaginable will leave the house. As I get a little more energy I become more impatient to have a clean, tidy and uncluttered house. The Kon Marie thread on here spurs me on:D as well as you guys on here.:D

    Anyhoos from the toiletries stash GA
    50ml Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream 1/8
    40ml Colour Extreme Temporary Hair Gel Pink 1/9

    5 L'Occitane sample of Almond body lotion. nice but won't repurchase due to the price.

    I also used a sample of Lancôme foundation but not keen. It oxidised on my nose badly around about lunch time.

    I'm back in this month too, though no PP list, as it's a busy month, and I'm not sure I have the brain power to spare to work one out...

    Some UUs so far though:
    - Clinique for men face wash (30ml) WNB - nice, would use again if I got it free (as this one), but Clinique do other washes that are better.
    - Bioderma Hydrabio serum 3ml sample. WMB - actually very nice, sank in very well, non-irritating, little goes a long way. Possibly a lot cheaper than other serums I like ;)
    - Garnier Nutrisse hair dye. WPNBA - only got it this time as it was the only one available in an open shop on Sunday, and I was desperate to do my roots :P Not as nice as Olia.

    INs:
    - Garnier Nutrisse hair dye above, already used
    and a whole bunch of things in a Latest in Beauty box :o:rotfl:
    - MUA Luxe Ombre 3 Shade Shimmer Highlighting Stick
    - COLLECTION Speedy Blush Stick
    - Wet Brush Detangler
    - LADIVAL DNA Repair After Sun
    - PALMER'S Coconut Oil Formula™ Coconut Oil Lip Balm SPF15
    - NAILS INC Nail Polish in Abbey Road
    - GARNIER SkinActive Moisture Bomb Multi-Protecting Hydrating Mist SPF30
    - ST. TROPEZ Self Tan Express Bronzing Face Sheet Mask
    - EYEKO Sport Waterproof Mascara
    - MERCI HANDY Lollipop Hand Cleansing Gel
    - GARNIER SkinActive Micellar Cleansing

    I've not got a box of any kind in ages, and this was reduced, with loads of things I'll definitely use (I might give away the nail polish).
