    I’ve been meaning to post all week but not had the chance so I’m taking the time to ploddingly type this in on my iPad.

    Only 1 UU this week which was a sample from Rituals. Was the Rice fragranced body lotion. Was lovely. Maybe I’ll see if there is a January sale As I think this brand is so expensive.

    Quite a few INs to report:-

    Amika Bombshell spray. Bought from EBay. HG. Will repurchase only from now on.

    Kat Von D Lock It Foundation, I bought this from a Facebook Marketplace Seller and it became an ordeal. Against my better judgment I sent the payment Friends and Family. I should have been more wary from the outset as she asked me to send the payment to her mothers account as her PayPal “was not working “. She only communicated with me when I chased her and I believe only sent the product to her when I threatened to have her mothers PayPal account blocked and then had PayPal contact her to request a refund. Anyway, now it’s here I’m finding it a bit heavy. Was in Debenhams yesterday and see she has released a new medium cover foundation so will try this next time.

    The 4 Elemis kits arrived and I sold most items without hitch. Made back the cost of one kit so pleased with that.

    When I was in Manchester yesterday I went in the new Morphe store and treated myself and Emma to a new Jeffrey Starr lip lacquer each. I got Unicorn Blood for me and Mannequin for her. Will try it today.

    I have tidied up a bit and UU two travel size products, a shower gel from a hotel and L'occitane Intensive Repairing Shampoo, liked this product each time I used.
    I scraped a Clarins blush into my Benefit Dandelion and mixed them because I haven't been happy with the colour of Clarins one. It was barely visible and maybe will be better with Dandelion.
    I also cut open my Pixi Glow Mud Cleanser - HG, keep coming back to this so WDBA.

    I adore the L’Occitane shampoo but won’t pay the price for it. I think I’ve read recently that they’ve changed the formula. Am using Hask shampoo at the moment and getting same result. Hask is sold at Tesco.

    Indeed very pricey, the one I have is rather old so must be the old formula. I will check Hask, never heard of it.
    Also one more UU - V05 Heat Protect Serum. This is a HG. Amazing value for money.

  • UU - Baylis & Harding Moroccan Rose Shower Creme - was a gift for Xmas a few years ago - WNBA

    Some UU at last:)

    30ml Revitalash Eye Primer 1/79
    3.2 ml Cabotine Perfume 2/80

    I have a Hask shampoo and conditioner bought on offer from Superdrug a while back, they are lovely, my teeny Tesco is too small to stock them sadly.
