    One sample UU:

    Lush Plum Rain sample I'm undecided on this. I have a 100g bottle to use, I'll see whether I like it or not when using that. It's a very jam like texture :/

    I've been offered a John Frieda foam hair colour in deep burgundy. Not taking and I wouldn't even if it was the right colour.
    I had absolute disasters with foam hair colours some years ago that were sent as freebies, both John Frieda and Clairol Foam.

    I was sent some vouchers as compensation by Clairol as one 'ash brown' colour turned my hair black and stained everything in sight in the bathroom.

    Something much nicer - my latest eye cream. £70! An NBI, naturally.
    I've never heard of Meg 21, they would appear to be an American company. It's nice, very nice but not wow. Will enjoy using it.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.

    26 8ml tub of L'Occitane Divine cream I like this. May repurchase when I need some more moisturiser.

    27 Laura Geller Glamlash mascara This did not separate my lashes. Was not bad but not wow either. Have opened the Eyeko one today.

    Little UU and load of ins to report as i stocked up on stuff in savers and treated myself to a first payday in new job haul from lush :o

    Lush baked alaska soap sample- WBA as full size. This is a lovely fresh citrusy smell. One of my favourite soaps! Got a load of these stashed away. Lathers up well.

    Ins:

    Savers first:

    4 x dove hair masks (these are a bargain!)
    1 x herbal eseences peach blossom shampoo 400ml
    1 x herbal essences peach blossom conditioner 400ml
    1 x garnier fructis colour shampoo
    1 x garnier fructis colour conditioner
    1 x loreal elvive nutri gloss crustal shampoo
    1 x loreal elvive nutri gloss crystal conditioner
    1 x conditioner (cant remember brand)
    1 x clearasil rapid action facial pads
    1 x oral-b 3d white toothpaste
    1 x sensodyne extra fresh repair & protect toothpaste

    From ebay - lip smacker bunny cake lip balm

    From lush:

    1 x baa bar bubble bar
    2 x buy one set one free bath bombs
    1 x flopsy facial wash jelly
    1 x chocolate lip scrub
    1 x wash behind your ears shower gel 250g
    1 x elsie the giraffe bubble bar
    1 x milky bath bubble bar
    1 x chick n mix bath bomb
    2 x which came first bath bombs
    1 x think pink bath bomb
    1 x your mother should know bubble bar
    1 x hottie massage bar

    X 29 in.

    Was quite nice to pop into town as opposed to ordering online. I dont get into town often and as it was my first payday i took the chance to stock up on my hair masks etc. the dove ones are fabulous and much more expensive elsewhere so highly reccomend if anyone sees them in their local savers!

    28 Garnier Eye Make Up Remover used this to clean my make up brushes and sponges today. Have stopped using it since using the no 7 wipes. WNBA.

    29 L'Occitane Divine Cream sample lovely cream. I have two more sample sachets left to use and will use them tonight and tomorrow so this will take me to my 31 pledged items just before I go away.

    I'm going to buy a no 7 foundation today as my Tarte tube needs to be cut open and I don't want to travel with it like that.

    Ladies ladies I'm currently debating making my first ever lush order as today's kitchen menu is amazing and I want things!!! I know I will use it all.... but should I?

    Hi Houseplant!
    If it says coming soon, it'll be out as part of next week's menu. If you look on the Lush Kitchen Instagram they put the menu for the following week up on a Friday and it tells you what day each thing will come out. I think they go live at 8am on their respective day. So, unfortunately, if you want something from Monday's menu and something from Friday's menu, you'd probably have to make two orders and pay two lots of p&p because Monday's will most likely be sold out by Friday. Some stuff sells out within a couple of hours in the Kitchen.
    The only thing I would say about the Kitchen stuff is that it's a bit risky sometimes to buy unless you're really confident you're going to like the smells. I always have an extra careful look at the ingredients list to see if there's anything I might not like!
    Hope that helps! :)
