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 texture0 -
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.0 -
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.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

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.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

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?
Also does anyone know what 'coming soon' means? How soon?!0 -

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!0
