  • Thanks @VALM!  Did you watch Vikings in the end?  I've heard that's good!  And well worth the initial payout for TBS cleansing butters as it's saved you in the long run!

    @perfect10 6 free samples?  Nice, good work there!

    Eve of St Agnes Hydrating Facial Silk - this is gorgeous and has a lovely scent, plastic free packaging too.  I have another pot which I will save for the warmer weather as I need something a bit richer in winter.  WBA

    More uu's

    Avon Planet Spa Herbal Steam Bath 200ml - this is a body cream with cedar and eucalyptus, although I doubt it actually has natural ingredients in it, it smells good though and my skin feels soft the next day.  Avon stopped doing these ages ago, I bought a couple of pots on sale a loooooong time ago and this was the last one.

    LyonsLeaf Beauty Balm - I use this as a balm cleanser, it can also be used as a moisturiser, this was a small jar and I have replaced it with the full size and I have one other full size in the stash.

    I have UU'ed a box of Nip+fab Glycolic Night Pads. I do love these and bought quite a few of them a while ago, when there was a deal. I have some daily pads to use next.

    I also UU'ed another bottle of Beauty Pie SPF. I am down to one bottle now and will order more.

    Philosophy Amazing Grace Shower Gel 240ml
    Moroccanoil Luminous Hairspray - just a mini can which I've had for half a lifetime, nice enough, nothing spectacular for the price tag.
    Garnier Conditioner - this was just the mini bottle which comes with hair colour.

    I'm on a roll at the moment

    I picked up the night pads when they were on offer too. I’d only used the Lacura ones previously but the Nip & Fab ones are more saturated and I feel them working (slight tingle). Bought 2 x 100 pad packs so won’t need any for a while but they’re a definite repurchase.
