    UU Blue Lagoon body scrub recieved in a Birch Box. WNB as it's rubbish.


    TA I am going to have to throw out the Bodyshop blue corn mask as I tried it and the smell is really off and it made my face sting.



    GA Aussie leave in spray. It's old but ok. I don't use it and have a tube of Aveda leave in now so I gave the spray to my daughter.




    I still can't find my half bottle of Chloe anywhere.:cry:

    Have spent all afternoon at the Trafford Centre Christmas shopping. Picked up 3 lip liners from Wet n Wild on 3 for 2 at £1.99 each. MRM bought some gifts from Kat Von D and I got a sample of the new foundation.

    Not sure if I mentioned that I got the Complexion Rescue Defence SPF in my calendar today.

    @kadison. True, the only way you’ll know if you like and can save some £s is to try the cheaper brands and see how it goes! Sounds like you are on it with your spreadsheeting; I need to up my game on that! x

    I am known as the spreadsheet queen, I absolutely love keeping lists of things and using them to work out how much GWPs, advent calendars etc are actually worth!

    FYI, my premium brand HGs are:-

    Chanel No. 5 EDP
    Clarins Bust Beauty Extra-Lift Gel and Instant Smooth Perfecting Touch Primer
    Lancôme Advanced Genifique Serum, Bi-Facil Eye Cleanser, Eau Micellaire Douceur, Hydra Zen Neurocalm Eyes, any of their mascara, and Tonique Confort
    Sephora Make-up Remover Gel

    ...and my other HGs are:-
    Avon Brow definer - Soft Black and Cooling Foot Mousse 150ml
    Biore Deep Cleansing Pore Strips
    Dentyl Mouthwash 500ml - Smooth Mint
    Johnson's Gentle Eye Make-up Removal Pads x 30

    This is interesting. I did think I had quite a lot of less expensive HG products but now I’ve listed them it would not appear so. I haven’t included my “kinder” toner in there as I have some alternatives to the Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic In stash. I’m always looking for good deals on my HG products though.

    Expensive:-
    Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom cleanser
    Elemis ProCollagen Marine Cream
    The Body Shop Chamomile Cleansing Butter
    MAC Prep n Prime Radiance Pink primer
    Bare Minerals Complexion Rescue
    Hourglass Ambient Light powder Dim Light
    Bath and Body Works shower gel, ultra Shea Body Cream and handcream.

    Less expensive:-
    Lacura Glycolic pads
    Lacura hot cloth cleanser
    The Ordinary Rosehip oil
    Elf Camo Concealer
    Maybelline Tattoo base
    Elf setting spray

    Received my new nail polishes yesterday and am wearing OPI Suzi Needs a Loch Smith. Gorgeous muted orange. Reminds me of Lunch At the Delhi. Also got A England Yeoman Warrior. Never tried this brand before.

    Updates from me:-

    UU - Oral B Pro-Expert Toothpaste 75ml - Fresh Breath, HG brand but I didn't like this variant, it was far too strong and I'm glad it's done!

    INs
    Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette - Cherry
    Urban Decay Naked Eyeshadow Palette - Heat
    Both 40% off and bought with Boots points :money:

    L'Oreal Infallible Powder Foundation 9g - 160 Sand Beige
    L'Oreal Infallible Loose Powder 6g - Blue
    No7 Skin Paste 50ml - CICA Rescue
    No7 Skin Paste 50ml - Hydrating

    From Treasured Treats Gift Set
    No7 Airbrush Away Primer 30ml
    No7 Dramatic Lift Mascara Black 4.5ml
    No7 Lash Impact Lash Primer 7ml
    No7 Match Made Bronzer 10g - Maple (you get a voucher, this is the other one that suits my foundation colour so I'll get it next week)
    No7 Matte Liquid Lips Freedom
    No7 Radiant Results Nourishing Melting Gel Cleanser 150ml
    No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Eye Make Up Remover 100ml
    No7 Radiant Results Revitalising Toning Water 200ml
    No7 Stay Perfect Amazing Eyes Pencil Black
    No7 Stay Perfect Eyeshadow Trio Sugar Plum

    My Elemis order has arrived but minus the free gifts, now I read the lengthy Ts & Cs it seems the 'on sale' skin bliss capsules aren't included in the minimum spend, so this may well be going back unless I get a good response from customer services, which is doubtful given how useless they've been in the past! :cool::cool::cool:

    IN: Organic Hemp Seed Oil Moisturiser

    I ran out of face moisturiser last month and had been stalling on repurchasing but the cold weather has meant I really needed something. This looks good and the packaging is fully reuseable/recyclable.
