    Ren Rose Centifolia Hot Cloth Cleanser 150ml - both myself and DD used this and we both like it which is just as well as I have 3 more of these to use. The other 3 are the only cleansers I have now.

    Lancôme - 'Eau Micellaire Douceur' cleansing water - This was a GWP and it is an amazing product but too expensive for me to keep buying.


    That's my HG cleanser but I've always had expensive taste! :D

    INs 2 x Clarins Energy Booster - half price as they are discontinuing and I also had a £5 voucher to use so not bad value. They will last for a while too.


    Whereabouts are they half price? I love the energy booster....

    Both Boots and Debenhams counters I visited recently sell them half-price. Blue one is no longer available but I found it at TK Maxx today so bought it too lol. 1 more IN..

    I have tidied up my cupboard a bit and TA 4 hairbrushes. I also TA 100ml Nivea Cream. Too thick for my liking and this was left in the sun for a long time (in a box in front of the window) so probably gone off anyway.

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts Name Dropper I've been Money Tipped!
    Two UUs today:

    Paula's Choice Resist Anti-Aging Eye Gel 5ml WNB as a full size. This was alright but it didn't wow me. I could have probably got a few more uses out of this but I can't be bothered with it.

    Avon Naturals Sugar Plum Spritz 100ml WMBA but probably not. This is a nice scent but I'm not overly fussed by Avon products.

    In. Laura Gellar Double Take foundation. 50% off at Debenhams. I could not say no. Though I did pay with Love2Shop vouchers.

    Thanks, no Superdrug here, but on hols soon and be able to visit 1 or 2:D:D I may try one of their hot cloth cleansers again too, I had a prolonged spell of allergy break outs/eczema, but now been clear for a while and can try some things again:D


    H Maddie.:)


    I've just used up (at last!) a Superdrug hot cloth cleanser.


    The cleanser didn't foam enough for me, maybe because we live in a very hard water area. I've bought a Clnique one instead.

    I am, however, sold on muslin cloths and have been able to buy these separately in Home Bargains. Worth a look if you see a branch on your travels.
  • One UU this morning:

    Ila cleansing cream. WNBA. A spa freebie but nothing remarkable.

    Thank you!

    I use Nivea creme when I have very dry skin as really nothing else comes close to it for that, plus I LOVE the smell! It's a childhood smell for me, like sudocrem and the original brown Dettol that mum used to bathe us in sometimes!

    Nip+Fab has a bank holiday offer where they sell some of their products for £5. I ordered few items :
    GLYCOLIC FIX RADIANCE SHOT
    DRAGON'S BLOOD FIX HYALURONIC SHOT
    KALE FIX PROTECTING SHOT
    GLYCOLIC FIX FOAMING PADS x 3

    Sorry about the capital letters but just copied and pasted from the order :P I love Nip+Fab products and I'd definitely recommend Hyaluronic Shot especially for the winter.
