:beer:Tara, well done, you must have a will of iron to resists that serum. I haven't used it but that is the type of thing I just can't resist. I mean, when it's previously been really expensive and then comes down to an affordable price.

A few months ago I just popped into House of Frazer, just to browse in my lunch hour. They had just put out a display of Dr Sebagh skin products that were down to £5 each. Some of the stuff had been £110. Can you believe that? I know I am really sad but that is the type of thing that get's my heart beating fast and I'm off into buy, buy, buy mode. I am sure you won't be surprised to know that I haven't even used any of it yet:o

I wouldn't have even tried to resist that, hell, I would have been in there buying every single bottle! :rotfl:

I've used up loads -
hair conditioning masks (pretty good job really, I've just had 'the chop' :eek:),
body creams,
almost finished my kerastase shampoo (I love kerastase, but this one isn't so great for my hair. Leaves it looking greasy really quickly ) and conditioner. Think my favourite shampoo is a tigi one (the one in the dark blue bottle, smells like raspberry lemonade, but think they've stopped it now
same with the blanx toothpaste (don't bother, btw - it doesn't whiten all that great and it doesn't leave my mouth as fresh as I like). I did like some dentinox stuff I found in B&M for about £1 though!

Awwwwwww I am loved up with DD tonight (as always)! Went up to check on her and she was wide awake so sat her on my bed for a cuddle. She got of the bed and picked my body butter off the side. I opened it for her to smell- she lifted my trouser leg up and moisturised my leg.... bless she thought it was hilarious. This means she will want to do it ALL the time but at least it'll get me using it!

Yeah i had a tesco one in the cupboard and lettuce and tomato in the fridge so decided to use it up by having tacos. Had not had them in a while so it was nice to have a change.

Yeah....Finally...

I have used up tonight 1 pack of facial wipes and 1 pot of No7 nite cream, small 15ml one, but it's a start...Then went to my newly organized cupboard to replemish them....
Is it sad that I now get a "thrill" from completley finishing something! I usually get bored quite quickly...

I am a nut job aren't I?!!!!!!!

Erm, no?

Cos that means we all are :A

Was the No7 cream the protect and perfect stuff that came with the little metalic bag? (Dunno why I had to have two of those, btw? but they were pretty :rotfl:) I thought that cream was rather good. Might buy it next time I need facial moisturiser. I'm using simple atm and it's alright, but a bit 'runny'. Can feel my skin getting drier as I get older and I need something heavier.

Nope. You are just reassessing and reodering your priorities. :A

To be honest, I think it's good: it creates (much-needed) space and what's the point in spending all this money on stuff if we don't use it?

My shower gel is down to the final quarter thank god, bored of Vanilla now! Had a route in the "forbidden" stash and found I DO have a St Tropez exfoliator in stock after all!

My nails are looking all glam, must do this more often!

Hello. No pots used up today. Using body cream (which I'm always lazy with) has made a real difference, especially to my back.

Started another (half-used) mini tub of bare essentials foundation. I think Light is the right colour for me.

Trying to use up a Max Factor eyeshadow (its a light colour like Benefit High Beam) but its a ruddy nuisance to use and dries too quickly! High Beam is defnitely on my list of things to buy when I used the variety of High-Beam-lookalikes that I've bought.:o

Keep up the good work everyone. :A
