UUs:

L'oreal 7 signs anti-aging face mask: Had this on my desk for years and finally used it. WNB Felt too weird having a gooey-like tissue on my face. Prefer my face masks.

Dexe black hair shampoo dye WNB Dripped alot and did not cover my grays.

I felt very proud today I managed to walk through Boots without buying any toiletries - even if they still had shelves full of half priced goodies - I was very good!

Heathcote & Ivory Vintage & Co. Body Lotion 30ml - This was part of a Christmas pressie. I didn't think it was for me as I don't usually go for floral scents but I actually liked this one. The lotion was good quality as it wasn't really watery and I got several uses out of it. WMB but plenty more lotions left in the stash!

Bomb Cosmetics It's Xmas Blaster - Got this as part of a Christmas pressie. I really liked this - turned my bath water pink. I don't usually buy bath bombs myself but I love them as gifts. Have several more to use up!

Also started on my body butter free samples from The Body Shop. Have hit pan on my night cream so hope it will be completely gone in the next few weeks.

Thank you so much for this, I'm on a telly detox at the moment, having watched it more than usual over Christmas, and I would have hated to have missed it.

Nothing else to report, other than GA two of the pack of six Ultimate Blends conditioners, to the two lovely ladies who clean for me on a Tuesday.

Dove Cream Oil Nourishing Body Wash- 250ml WNBA as I have loads of Dove Showering Creams and Body Washes in my stash. I found this to be gloopy and not very lathersome when mixed with hot water. The aroma from this body wash doesn't linger very long either. I think I got around 20 showers from this product.

Vaseline Spray & Go Body Moisturiser - Aloe Fresh - 190ml WBA but at the moment I have a stash of this too in different fragrances. I've been using this tin for a while so this week I have just used up the last dregs of the can. I usually take the Aloe Fresh fragrance on holiday with me as it is handy after you've showered, just spray and go as it says on the tin, just a quick rub over your skin with your hands and it's done, very cooling especially if you are in a hot country.

UU-Simple Eye Cream: Bought this a while back from the airport before going on holiday as I forgot mine and it did the job. Finished today as I'm trying to UU some half-full products. WMBA if I need something cheap and easy.
