    Are the lipsticks good?

    I'm being so good, no flakes, no lipsticks.....but, you know I do feel I'm missing out.:o

    Well done!!

    They haven't arrived yet, but I do already have some Benefit lipsticks/glosses and they are lovely - and worth about £13 too!! Winning one is a complete bargain as long as you don't spend the same amount of cash on flakes as you could on a lipstick!! :rotfl:

    I am going to give two of them away and keep one for myself...

  • Hi all, just a quick post , Tara you naughty thing, off to do your lines young lady. :D. Welcome to all the newbies . Well done on wining the lippies Jacjac, which ones did you choose? I like the Juicy lipgloss??
    Used up a mini FCUK polished bath syrup last night and was really impressed, left my skin really smooth WIBA yes when ive ploughed through my stash.

    May catch up a bit later so see you then and get pampering:D

    You laugh because I'm different......I laugh cause I just farted!

    Just finished a Decleor Excellence De L'Age moisturiser. wiba? NO!!! It is £89 a pot (50ml - mine was only 30ml and was from a tsv). Didn't like it as a face cream, so used it up as a neck cream. You can feel it tightening, which is good, but WAY too expensive.
    And a 1oz Philosophy Pure Grace edt. wiba? Yes, it is a lovely clean fresh fragrance, and I love it. But am going to be good and finish my other multiple smellies first!!

    I went to use some of my almost empty System Corps last night and it smelt 'off' so I binned it-was really nasty. I have another in my stash so will use that.

    However I had a bit of a nasty hospital visit/tests/results today and I have to have yet another operation :(

    I had to go into Tesco on the way home to pick up a prescription I have been waiting for: guess who gave into temptation? (I blame my emotional state!)

    Anyway I hereby confess that I bought a Neutrogena everyday repair body lotion,it was reduced to £1. I seem to have a penchant for reduced items at £ LOL! It's very nice actually-very rich but rubs in easily and very subtle scent. I am tempted to get another it's so nice-despite the fact I have a 400 ml system corp waiting to be started! So needless to say,I won't be going to Tesco for a while,until I am sure they have all gone!
    Tomorrow is always fresh, with no mistakes in it!

    Hope you are ok SuziQ.

    and I think a £1 bargain is probably allowed lol

    morning all

    used a sachet of sanctuary face pack this morning and have used up a sachet of eye cream.
    DID PYNM this morning:rotfl:nails are now warm cranberry.

    good thing about using up the sachets is bathroom shelf is looking so much better, i sorted the sachets out when i signed up for this challenge and was embarassed by how many i had. i decided to sort them by product and put all the face creams, masks, cleansers, eye cream etc on the bathroom shelf and all the shampoos and conditioners by the shower, At first it looked horrendous the shelf was so cluttered but now its looking much better. Ive still got some sunscreens and leg products in the bag they were originally in but they arent really everyday products so ill use them when the weather picks up. Once the sachets and samples are used up i can restart on bottles and jars again.
    SPC~12 ot 124

    In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to Be More Kind
