    UU : Sample of Atelier Cologne Sud Magnolia. Nice but again smelt a little like Mr Sheen. Maybe I'd repurchase.

    One IN from my advent calendar yesterday:

    The Body Shop Mango Shower Gel 60ml

    And one from today:

    The Body Shop Eye Definer 1.1g (Black)

    I've been quite ill for the past week, but I am finally feeling better.
  • My first UU of December, long time coming :D

    Dr Haushka Rose Day Cream Light. WBA but have two more in the pile.

    One UU tonight:

    Klairs Supple Preparation Unscented Toner 3ml sample WNB as a full size. I much prefer the original version of this. This is great if your skin can't tolerate the essential oils in the original formula but my skin can so I much prefer it.

    One IN this morning from my Advent Calendar:

    The Body Shop Strawberry Smoothing Face Mist 60ml

    And one UU this morning:

    Pureology Strength Cure Conditioner 250ml WNBA. I've not been impressed by the Pureology products I've tried. Very basic for the price. Onto a more cheaper alternative.
  • One UU: l’occitane immortelle precious cream sample. I dread to think how long that has been sitting there as I know I haven’t bought any l’occitane in over a year! Nice but nothing special imo.

    I’ve been putting together all my empty birchboxes, the ones with the drawers, to make a little storage tower to keep on my dressing table. I’m terrible for buying and not using because ‘out of sight, out of mind’, so this is an attempt to be a little more organised and at hand!

    Hello everyone. I have had a few UUs this week.

    Clinique Smart Custom Serum - Bought this from TK Maxx 2-3 months ago and immediately started using it in case it was about to expire. It is a lovely and effective product. I would repurchase but I do have Clarins Double Serum and few others in hand currently so I will move to those.

    Formula Absolute All in One Cream - Pleasantly surprised by this product. Effective, very good value for money. Would repurchase.

    Extraordinary Oil Shampoo - Regularly buy this and loving it.

    1 IN from TK Maxx - Emma Hardie Gift Set. This includes 50ml Cleansing Balm, Hydrating Facial Mist (90ml), Protect and Prime Cream 30ml, Renewal Treatment Mask 75ml, Rosehip Exfoliating Seeds and Cleansing Cloth. Amazing value for £49 so treated myself as I always wanted to try more from her range.

    Hope all will have a great Christmas!
    ally.

    UU OPI mini I’m Not Really a Waitress. Tried to repaint my nails with this today however there was only enough product for one hand. Will continue to UU my mini polishes in the New year.

    IN Nivea make up remover. Not finished my current one yet but it will be soon.
