    So, on holiday I did use some things up and I did throw some away but in the main I remember using the products in the hotel the first week (Julian Farrell products - never head of him) so will start with clean slate from hereon re: UUs - 2 since being home:-

    1. L'Oreal Excellence hair colour. My hair looked shocking when I got back. Will need to repurchase when my hair needs to be coloured again.

    2. Boots No 7 Beautiful Skin wipes. I did actually go to Boots just before we went away to get more of these and ended up spending the £25.00 to get triple points. Bought a Lip Lacquer in Sugared Mauve to qualify.

    So my PP list looked like this before my hols:-

    Maybelline Colour Tattoo
    OPI Nail Envy
    Smashbox eyeshadow
    No 7 cleansing wipes
    Avon Deodorant
    Avon Skin So Fresh body lotion
    ABC Teatree skinwash
    ABC Lavender teatree skin wash
    LUSH Dirty shave cream
    kind Natured conditioner

    I still have the following in rotation - I finished the small bottle of Nail Envy and have a new full sized open now:-

    Maybelline Colour Tattoo
    Smashbox eyeshadow
    LUSH Dirty shave cream
    kind Natured conditioner

    Will add more to this now. Just realised lunch is almost over. See you later. xx

    Hi VALM. Sounds like you got some nice things on your hols. I would really like to try Bite Beauty lipsticks, they do some very me colours and they seem to get good reviews too.

    Repainted my nails last night with OPI Every Month is Octoberfest. If not this month when? I love this colour, very vampy.

    One UU from last night:

    Dentek Silky Whitening Floss Picks 75 count WBA but not right now.

    And one TA:

    La Roche Posay Toleriane Dermo Cleanser 200ml WNBA. I really wanted to like this product and I did but it was breaking me out a lot. And it was also irritating my skin, which is not good for a cleanser designed for allergy prone skins. I've since switched to using a different cleanser and my skin is feeling so much better.

    Thanks, I bought a couple of the Bite Beauty lip crayons last time I was over there. They are lovely.

    OK, have decided what items to add. The top four are carried over:-

    Maybelline Colour Tattoo - still seemingly tonnes of product left

    Smashbox eyeshadow - am using this until I hit pan and will change to a different eyeshadow

    LUSH Dirty shave cream - probably last to the end of the month

    kind Natured conditioner - the tube is squishy however I have the conditioner form my hair colour kit to use as well

    So, the rest of the list:-

    Murad cleanser - this is Emma's but she left it behind
    Elemis PCMC tube - now cut open
    Elemis PCMC tub which was in use prior to my hols
    Elemis Pro Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream
    L'Occitane shea hand cream 10ml
    Palmers Cocoa Butter hand cream - tube cut open
    L'Occitane mini almond shower oil
    L'Occitane mini verbena shower gel
    L'Occitane mini verbena body lotion
    Abercrombie & Fitch Blushed perfume
    Paco Rabanne Olympea perfume
    Batiste travel sized dry shampoo

    I think that's it. Keep panning everyone xx

    Olympea by Paco Rabanne. I love this perfume and used the bottle relatively quickly as I bought this when we went to Gran Canaria the year before last. Have mentioned it to Santa.

    Boots nail polish remover pads. Bought these as I didn't have my nails done with gel finish prior to holiday. They do the job.

    Painted my finger nails with OPI Time for a Napa and toe nails with OPI Infinite Shine Excuse Me Big Sur. I think these two peachy shades are NY favourites from this collection so far.

  • Hi ladies,

    I went to lush and was a little bit naughty. My current shampoo and conditioner have been irritating my scalp so gone back to two old faithfula from there.

    In:
    American cream conditioner
    Soak and float shampoo bar
    Wicky magic muscles massage bar
    Scrubee

    Does anyone know of any good cellulite products? I've got some real issues with it at the moment. My legs look awful.
