    At last I have UUed the Flora Mare Illuminating Eyecream. I can’t say I saw any difference however if I had this would have been great value as the tube was massive. WNBA but would try other products from the brand because of the value. Have a Neutrogena Hydroboost Cream to use next.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    One UU this morning:

    The Body Shop Aloe Multi-use Gel 200ml WMBA, maybe next year when it's summertime. It's nice and light which is perfect for summer, but as the weather gets colder, I'm going to replace it with something a bit more nourishing.

    Thank you for the new thread and I'm in as usual. This time I have a PP list:

    Clinique Moisture Surge Face Spray
    Clinique Chubby Stick - Super Strawberry
    [STRIKE]Murad Eye Lift Firming Treatment[/STRIKE]
    Erno Laszlo Firm & Lift Essence Lotion Deluxe Sample
    [STRIKE]Gatineau Collagene Serum 5 ml[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Ordinary Caffeine Eye Serum[/STRIKE]

    Most of these are about to be UU'ed anyway but a list will help me to stick with them rather than switching between other stuff I have.

    I will also alternate some blushes I have and will try to sell some more goods.

    3 UU from the list
    I did write about the Ordinary Eye Serum already.

    Murad Eye Lift Firming Treatment is an interesting one, comes with pads and you put the product around the eye contour then put the pads on top. Almost like an eye mask. I had a deluxe sample of this and liked it. WMBA one day.

    Gatineau Collagene Serum feels great on skin but can't comment on the effect as it was just another deluxe sample from LB beauty box.

    I have sold my Urban Decay palette and an Estee Lauder Lip Gloss too. 2 more out.

    Murad Toner
    [STRIKE]Derma Vie night cream[/STRIKE]
    L’Occitane make up remover
    [STRIKE]LUSH Cupcake Mask[/STRIKE]
    Flora Mare Illuminating eye cream
    Essie Spa Scrub
    Molten Brown hand lotion
    LUSH Dirty
    Murad Cleanser
    [STRIKE]YSL Foundation [/STRIKE]

    UU the ESSIE Spa Scrub. I have ordered a new one as I love this product and it will be perfect size to travel with. Yesterday I saw that OPI are releasing a collection of re-released discontinued colours which has got me pretty excited and I will definitely purchase a few of them. I was looking at makeup Alley reviews also and saw a colour similar to Espresso Your Style that I used to adore so ordered this and a new Peru colour too to qualify for free shipping. I had sold a lipgloss last week so the brown one was practically free. At the moment I’m wearing You Don’t Know Jacques. Painted my toes with Don’t Pretzel My Buttons which is showing signs of coming to an end.

    Also UU LUSH Blue Skies and Fluffy Clouds. WBA.

    Welcome chocolatelover.


    VALM - have you tried those foot peeling socks, you put them on then a few days later all the hard skin starts to shed, Margaret Dabbs do one I think?


    No uu here, bought DD some foundation in Body Shop yesterday on 3 for 2, it is the clay one, she had a sample last weekend and really liked it. She seems to get through a tube of foundation every 2 months, I don't know how she does it, she doesn't look caked in it and I can still see her skin through it. One 30ml tube lasts me months and months.

    I have another UU - Clarins Make-Up Fix Spray. I have had used this on and off in the past. It is more expensive than the Urban Decay All Nighter and I cannot decide between the two. At the moment I have the UD All Nighter on the go and will finish that first. After that WMBA. Clarins is good especially when there are GWP offers. Not like I want to fall in that trap :P
