  • UU number three for February:

    Rodial serum. WNBA. Another sample size, smelled like paint stripper (and the smell lingered :eek:).

    Have finished all my full size serums, and now working my way through my sample collection, which is good for UU :rotfl:

    One IN from the other day:

    Oral B Pro Expert Floss 40m

    I bought it to be ready when my current floss runs out. I will stick with trying this floss, and not get rid of it like the last few new ones I've tried.

    And two INs from today:

    La Roche Posay Hydreane Legere Moisturiser 40ml
    La Roche Posay Cicaplast Mains Hand Cream 50ml


    I need some more of my moisturiser and I added the hand cream to get as a back up and so I could get free delivery :)

    One TA as well:

    Boots Botanics Hydration Burst Dual Action Cleanser 125ml WNBA. I can't get on with this cleanser. I think it's giving me some congestion as well. I feel bad about this but no one wants to buy it either :(
  • Another UU from my PP Colab dry shampoo hype galactic fragrance WMBA
    Smells nice with no white powder residue in the hair but I am not sure the can lasted as long as my usual batiste dry shampoo.

    Where did you get it from?

    I sold 2 items yesterday/today so 2 outs (1 mascara and 1 lipstick). I will be adding 1 sample in each envelope therefore 2 samples are also out.

    I'm planning to do some tidying and TA some haircare stuff. First one is Wella Silvikrin Hair Mousse. I actually liked this but the last time I tried to use it, no product came out very watery. I tried to shake but still the same. Perhaps it has gone off?

    this is the one I bought.

    It's a dark day ladies - I have had to TA my beloved OPI Off With Her Red from the original Alice collection. I have a suitable dupe from Sally Hansen though called Right Said Red.

    Going to the Trafford Centre today to buy a new handbag. Quite proud of myself for saving John Lewis gift cards for this rather than spending them on cosmetics. I will go into LUSH to check out the Spring Collection and will go into Boots for shampoo and a new sharpener.

    A couple of UU's from in the week:

    The last bath bomb in my collection has gone. A lemon moisturising one from a xmas gift. Smelt nice but was a generic one.

    Mini Simple Light Moisturiser. It was one of my faves but I'm finding it a little heavy on my skin one. But I have another in stash.

    Radox Relaxed bubble bath. Smelt nice, WBA but have another Radox one in stash.

    However 1 IN. Some generic cleansing face wipes to freshen my skin after work. Will see how effective they are this week.

    So far total is 10 out of 46

    Thank you - i'm trying to cut my plastic usage, never thought about razors.

    I need help with Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream - do you think/know if it is suitable for combination skin? I will run out of day cream soon and Elemis has a good deal on Pro-Collagen set. As I haven't found my HG product yet, I'm thinking about trying Elemis.

    I have combination skin with oily t zone and have used this for years. It has a very light gel like consistency. I do though use it in conjunction with the Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser which does as it says on the tin and keeps the oil at bay during the day. HTH. What is the deal?

    I am back from my shopping trip and have a gorgeous new Radley bag. I did my other shopping as planned:-

    From LUSH:-

    2 x Baa Bar bubble bars
    1 x Citrus are doing it for themselves
    1 x Blue Skies and Fluffy White Clouds bubble bar

    From Boots :-
    No 7 pencil sharpener
    Cotton wool x 2
    John Frida shampoo
    Stila glitter and glow eyeshadow for Emma

    I didn't realise the vouchers were being offered however got a pack of wipes with it. I was very good and did not buy two products to get the free gift. Not much point when I've just thrown one of their eyeshadow away.
