    I have a uu

    Tigi Curls Rock Shampoo 750ml - I bought two of these in a Regis sales eons ago, I liked it, very thick and lathery and didn't weigh my hair down.

    Maddie - I have that bone eyeshadow but find I don't really get any colour payoff from it, I know it's meant to be natural but I just can't see it at all.

    Val - Mine is the old type in the round pot, I tend to use it more as an eye primer and blend colours on top of it, I am very pale anyway so it does not show up as a colour, but makes a great base for every day use, bearing in mind most days I only need my make up to last for a short time (the joys of being retired) for all day wear the full works of primers, foundation etc and more eye make up.

    Do you still use Lemon Aid or have you found anything better, mine does not have much left in it:(

    Hi maddiemay, as I still work full time I wear foundation and powder every Dayan don't feel I need much of a base. I really enjoyed using the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Creme de Nude and will buy this when all my other bases are gone (I have quite a few including Lemon Aid).

    My LF box has arrived and I have INs -
    Polaar Hand Cream 25 ml
    Gatineau Collagene Expert Pro-Youth Serum 5 ml
    Hydra-Activ Smart Nutrient Day Cream 20 ml
    MDM Flow Lipstick (color: bossy)
    Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser 7.5 ml
    And a Beauty in Wonderland Bath Bomb

    I do like to receive something new every month but I think I will cancel this once it is up for renewal. I'm genuinely overwhelmed with the stuff I have and want to keep it under control.

    I've also TA a tube of toothpaste and replaced with a new one. Also UU'ed a bottle of mouthwash and replaced with one from the stash.

    Hope all well.
    ally.

    Have repainted my nails and am wearing OPI Snow Glad I Met You with China Glaze Big Hair and Bubbly on top. Looks very festive.

    Due to a shall we say 'winteresting' (that was a typo but I've decided it sums it up!) episode, my stash is now full to bursting.

    Basically I forgot to take my anti-depressants for about a week and rescended into the old days of trying to buy happiness, luckily I have only bought things I'll use so it's not as bad as it once was :o

    However depression wasn't the only cause, we're all addicts here and sometimes it just gets the better of us xx

    One UU tonight:

    Lush Dream Cream Self Preserving Body Lotion sample WPNB as a full size. It was alright but the smell is a bit off putting.
