    Crabtree & Evelyn Himalayan Blue Body Lotion 200ml - this is lovely, quite thick and very scented, it has green tea which I love the scent of.


    Miaflora Pure Argan Oil - WMBA I used this as skincare and haircare and it did both jobs well.


    Prada Candy EDP - WBA, gorgeous scent, more for winter but I just wanted to finish the last bit off.


    VALM - a no buy is a no buy:D, something always comes along to make you give in, I find the easiset thing is not to look.


    I know nut the otch is real. Rang QVC yesterday and the Mally kit is due around w1 August. I hope its late!

    One TA this morning:

    Dr Organic Vitamin E Lip Balm 5ml WNBA. I can't get along with this. It's too waxy, and it doesn't actually moisturise my lips.

    Let me just assure everyone that I was not drunk on the way into work when I typed this.



    Translation:-


    "I now but the itch is real ..... 21 August."

    One UU tonight:

    La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra Contour Yeux 20ml WMBA but probably not. This was nice but I don't see any improvements from using it consistently for 6 months.

    One UU this morning:

    Pyunkang Yul Shampoo sample 7ml WPNB. This was nice and gentle but I probably won't buy a full size.

    Hello all, sorry for being MIA (not sure if anyone noticed but thought I'd apologise anyway!), had a rough time recently and we've also been away.

    Some advice please, we stopped by Cribbs yesterday and I had a skin analysis with Elemis in John Lewis, now she put my skin down as 'cleansed' when I said I had SPF cream and other products on, wouldn't that have skewed the result?

    I showed patches of sun damage in places such as my lower jaw and around my eyes, with my freckles of course showing up darker, but surely SPF shows up dark anyway as it's meant to deflect UV light?

    I have painted my nails last week with Essie - At the Helm, a lovely red-orange colour. I take them off today and will probably repaint tomorrow.
    Also uu'ed today a satchet of Collistar Talasso Body Scrub. This came with LF beauty box and it is nice but not sure it is worth the price tag. I prefer to use a brush nowadays anyway so WNB the full size.

    I have listed few beauty items on various sale but I think due to summer, it is quiet. I hope i will be able to sell few bits and pieces as I've accumulated a massive number of trial sizes/samples mostly thanks to LF monthly beauty boxes and I cannot use them fast enough.

    I bought 2 x Elvive Extraordinary Oil Shampoo today as they were half price at Boots.
    Also benefited from No7 offer currently running - bought 2 sculpting No7 blenders and got a free Nude to Night Beauty Palette. RRP £25. I am likely to gift this to someone or sell it though.
    ally.
