    Ooooohh!

    Felt really tempted by the Lulu TSV today, luckily read the reviews online and temptation passed. Was a bit close, didn't get as far as picking up the phone but even so!

    There's me thinking I need another facial oil, moisturiser and eye cream neck cream, cleanser :mad: when will I learn :confused: They really know how to press the buy buttons on me :mad:

    :eek: Do not buy, do not buy, do not buy, do not buy :eek:

    Well done on not being tempted FedUp..... Sat's TSV will be the test for me, its Liz Earle.... and I am starting to run low on some things!

    Used up a tube of moisturiser on Tuesday night, just a nice hotel freebie one, one more of these to go and all the hotel stash has been used up or sold :T

    Sold 3 mini hair serums yesterday through work - just for £1 but I won't use them, got them free and it's £1 more towards the stuff I bought from Avon.

    Well done on resisting temptation Fedup and Sarah you'll have to find something else to do/watch on Saturday ;)

    Sarah,

    Good luck for Fri midnight and Sat,

    Do you really really need it?
    Are the presenters convincing you to buy it to pay their wages? (Alison Young is the one who convinces me the most, everyone else I can see through now)
    Is is worth the price? Are enough sizes full size? The Liz Earle TSV's often seem to be filled with travel sizes much of the time IMHO

    Good luck, keep busy and away from the phone!

    You're right FedUp, they usually do have travel sizes in them... TBH I'll probably be fine, I find it's usually better value to get the off eBay.... LE has a store on there for stuff with packaging faults and its usually a good £2/£3 cheaper than the main site...

    Finished a LE Moisturiser this morning and a body moisturiser.... must dig my list back out and cross them off :)

    Been using a mascara my sister bought me for xmas, it's from Next and is only half the size of a normal mascara but it is so long lasting, every time I think that it is nearly finished I get another day out of it. Nothing new finished everything is sort of hovering around the 1/3 empty mark!!!

    Hiya magni how are you?

    I'm fine thanks:D Still hanging in there and my everlasting tube of serum is making squirty noises now so it's about to run out:beer: I'm so excited:o I thought I was going to be using this forever. Next I'll move on to some samples of No7 P&P serum. Oh I just love thinking about what I am going to use up next. How sad is that:o

    I'm also getting close to the bottom of a huuuuge box of washing powder:T

    Right another using up little update!

    First Umberto Gianni Beauty Secrets Overnight Beauty Moisture Balm - absolute rubbish IMHO - made no difference what so ever! Bought it when it was 2 for £7 and the other finishing product is as bad.

    Also finished off the following;

    Radox Deoderant
    Jergens Body Lotion
    Decleor Tan Accelarator

    That's probably it for a while, just about to start a an opened jar of Hope in a Jar.

    Good luck vibes sent for tomorrow in avoiding the Liz Earle TSV!

    mini estee lauder eye make up remover used up yesterday - which I'm glad about as it hurt my eyes if I put too much on the cotton pad. I'm going to get the simple one magni recommended on here next - no more in my stash.

    Know what you mean about the moisturiser has this horible stuff which made my hands itch but now its gone whoo hoo ! :T

    Well so far:-
    oil of olay moistuiser (large bottle gone)
    simple face wipes x 2
    toothpaste 2 down 1 to go
    mouth wash x 2 (1 to go)
    handwash 2 down (2 to go)
    bubble baths 1 down
    shower gel x 1

    decided to have a mooch round the bathroom at all the men's stuff i bought in boots when in clearance. yes i have an obsession i hold my hands up high.
    So my brothers birthday present is currently:-
    1 x wash bag
    1 x right guard roll on
    4 x mini lynx pocket deo sprays
    3 x gillette mach 3 sensitive skin gel
    1 x gillette cool wave after shave
    1 x gillette after shave gel

    Basically filled the wash bag up for him, its stuff he wants so it okay, will give him £10 for a new shirt, he will literally shout if i give him more.He is only 17 but can't stand people buying him stuff.

    I can't believe it i have actually cleared an entire shelf !:eek: Just another few places to go :rotfl:
