    morning all
    well done jacjac:T

    hope everyone is still pampering with minima spends

    managed to use up a small tube of boots organics body wash- it was really nice but ive got loads of different types in the stash.
    still managing to get a bit out of my foot cream tube mixed feelings on that one as much as i want to say another item has gone from the stash i love hthe product and know i wont be able to replace that brand as its discontinued.
    im making good headway on the little pot of lippy and might actually be able to announce a makeup use up in a week or so:rotfl:.

    have a great day all

    forgot pynm yesterday so hopng to do it tonight.

    I caught up with PYNM, buy quickly doing my re shape this morning. I am just about to throw away some sally hanson nail growth miracle because at some point its leaked and set on the bottle, and I just really cut myself badly trying to open it.

    I don't believe it works either. Any one tried something that does?

    I won a Clarins Self Tanning Mousse through the Debenhams Beauty Club on Facebook yesterday and also received another of my flake Benefit wins in the post yesterday!! I love free stuff!!!!! My logic is that although I am adding to my stash, it saves me buying things for the sake of it and saves me money :j
    Ooh, I didn't see about winning stuff on there - whereabouts is that?

    i've tried some nail hardener by Patons that I found in Poundland and it is BY FAR the best I've ever tried and my nails are diabolical! HTH :o

  • I've finally used up the minging Avon skin so soft handcream! Thank god, it smells really chemically and feels sticky, I definitely wouldn't buy it, it was a gift in the first place. If I'd bought it myself I'd have probably thrown it away.

    By far the nicest handcream I've ever used is the S&G hand food, I'll only be buying that from now on.

    Shame the mascara i've chosen to use up isn't as quick to run up - it gives very impressive results but is waterproof and a NIGHTMARE to take off - yesterday i was rubbing away at my eye for 5 mins and i still had some on it this morning grrr!x

    What mascara is it?

    I use the Clinique Power Lash, and that can only be removed using hot water.

    I've just got up :eek:. I got up at 8 and did the school thing. Came home and went to bed at 9.45 cause I felt a bit rough. My eyes are swelled up and sore, the left one isn't as bad. They've both improved since I went back to bed but I don't feel right at all. I've got so much to do today too :eek:. Oh well, there's always tomorrow :o. Need a proper pamper tonight I think.

    its only a maybelline one, in a fat yellow tube, collosal volum' express or something i saw it on offer and remembered how i used to love maybelline - so cheap but effective. I always get asked if I have fake lashes on with it but it is an absolute nightmare to get off, will try the oil method as someone mentioned earlier (i can't remember who, think it migh have been Kaz2904 - but thanks to whoever suggested it!). i think i might have to revert back to my bad gal mascara to give my lashes a break!:o

    The Debenhams Beauty Club have the occasional competition in their status updates on FB! This is the first one I have entered and I won, so was pretty happy - the fake tan is worth £20.

    I also got my £5.00 beauty club voucher emailed from them today and it had another voucher attached for a Clarins moisturiser (for free), so I picked that up at lunchtime as well (but haven't spent my £5.00 voucher - yet)!
    I'm buying No More Toiletries, I'm Deluttering and I'm Losing Weight for 2010!
