    Just updating with my last UU's of the year:

    Lush Hot Toddy Shower Gel 100g: love the scent of this and always try to pick up one each year they release it

    Lush Crystal Snow Ballistic: Really liked the scent on this (like a murray mint) and it definitely softened my skin

    Roloxin Lift Face Mask: a sample that I've had for a while, didn't really notice a difference on the lifting side of things but it did hydrate my skin

    Lush Snow Fairy Body Lotion: a free sample I got the last time I was in store and I really really enjoyed this.  It made an actual difference to my skin and made it look and feel more supple

    Garnier Ultralift Eye Sheet Mask: Used these while getting ready for Christmas day, they did the job of refreshing my eyes.

    The next few were samples I used up while staying with family over Christmas - all were ok, but didn't get enough use to make a proper judgement:

    Dr Jaart Ceramidin Serum
    Dr Jaart Ceramidin Cream
    Dr Jaart Ceramidin Liquid
    Kiehl's Facial Fuel
    Clarins One Step Cleanser

    Aveeno Moisturising Creamy Oil: This was my HG body moisturiser but I think they've changed the formula slightly as it kind of pilled up on my skin.  

    Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist: Another face mist I've had open for ages and decided to use up while travelling.  Liked the scent of it but don't think it actually does anything so not worth the extortionate price tag

    Revolution x Sali Hughes Clean sheet Morning Cleanser: Got this as a sample in a little kit when I ordered from Revolution a few months ago for some more eye makeup removing pads.  It was ok, but not great.  Felt a little too vaseline like on my face and left a film.

    Nivea Pearl Spray on Deo: Was ok, did the job.

    Nars Afterglow lip balm in Orgasm: Love these balms, and loved the finish of this one and would repurchase if I needed to (I have way too many lip products to work through...)

    4 Sheet Masks 
    UD Chopper eyeshadow
    1 Perfume sample 
    Glamglow Thirsty Mud Mask 
    Pixi Glow Tonic 
    Avon Skin so Soft Dry Body Oil 
    The Body Shop Raspberry Whipped Body Butter
