    Can't sleep so I'm all set up to do a PYNT with my new OPI kit. Have you seens that Corin on Big Brother? She does PYNMTWTFS&S! :eek::rotfl:

    Haven't seen it - I generally judge my summer by how often I remember big brother is on - so far this is only the second time this year I've been reminded, it's a good summer so far :) That is a lot of nail painting though - but they do have a lot of time to themselves I suppose :eek:

    Another UU or two - I am on a flippin roll today! :rotfl:

    UU Leighton Denny Creme De La Creme WIBA? Probably. This is a mini I got free at a QVC customer event about 3 years ago, and it's been my "Go To" quick and easy paint job when I was pushed for time all that time. I don't love it as a colour but it's reliable and safe. One of my Nails Inc nudes may take over now though.

    I did a bright pink from the Nails Inc Boots / Diet Coke promotion (New York) on my toes, and Creme De La Creme on my fingers. The OPI bottles in the Try Me are V. V tiny and I couldn't be bothered to fiddle and faff at 4 in the morning! Honestly - dolly sized! :eek::D

    Is this the first actual Use up of a nail polish?! I can't remember any one else actually reporting finishing one :eek::T:beer:

    Bit scary that it's only a tiny one, and it's still taken you 3 years though... :rotfl:

    i bought some hair colourant today, 2 for £5 in superdrug. I have a feeling that this counts in this challenge :) BUT i did walk away from spending the £2 voucher in Boots on hair care. I did buy some medicated talc as well.
    me too,I tried to spend it BUT only items in all ranges were £1.95(and not sure if they would allow that...didn't mind losing 5p but could not be bothered to go to checkout to try) or from about £6 up,no middle prices! so gave up!

    BB's Corin is hilarious. She gets up and spends between 3 and 4 hours putting make up on, then sunbathes for 6-8 hours, then she paints her nails -almost every evening. Apart from regular fags and the odd chirpy comment that's pretty much her whole day, every day. :eek::rotfl:

    Am I the first to finish a nail polish?! Blimey! :eek: It's only 4ml or something! It doesn't bode well for the other 15 does it? :eek::D

    Oooh, what is the YSL one? I love the Clarins beauty flash balm - it does wonders for me when I have to drag myself into work with a hangover...!

    3-4 hours?! Does she actually have a face underneath it all?! That's scary. Although adopting her approach might help me use up my make up stash a little (lot!!) quicker... I might have to investigate :p

    Another UU for me this morning! Body Shop Satsuma Shower Gel. WIBA? Yes, it is my favourite shower gel I think, but won't be buying it until I have used up my mountain of other shower products.

    A few of you have mentions Jason products. I'd never heard of them before. Where do you get them from, please?

    My Tesco has a Nutricentre that sells Jason products.

    I finally have a UU.

    Vaseline Intensive moisturiser with cocoa butter: WIBA? Undecided, i love cocoa butter but I have no idea if this made any intense difference!!

    Now moving on to my Lacura body lotion. Its very thick and smells citrusy Hopefully be rid of that in a couple of weeks.

    Got an interveiw for a 2nd job (saving for a house deposit) on Thursday so I will have a couple of pamper evenings so I look nice and prettyful :rotfl:. Never mind Corins 3-4 hours, I need 3-4 days!!

    if you have an independant hair/beauty shop near you (such as ones selling hair extensions, afro carribean hair stuff, asian beauty products etc) i've found that they generally stock JASON products :) HTH x

    OOh Good tip Roshydoshy. I've got a couple of places I could check out. ( in the dim and distant future when I need to buy some of course! ;):D)

    I will store that little nugget away for future reference as well my lovely. I've never even heard of Tesco Nutricentres!
