    Nearly used up:

    Boots Botanics Eye Make Up Remover - I will be buying again, as at £2.99 I think it is good value for money and suits my skin. :) Also, I'm nearly out of cotton wool pads - is there anywhere that does really good ones cheaply?

    I bought some skin therapy ones from Wilkinsons and although I can't remember how much they were I don't think they were that expensive. They feel really nice and soft too.
    Did owe £9,951.96

    Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

    i've realised that if i actually moisturised each day i would not only have lovely hydrated skin but i would also use up my stock of body souffles/ creams/ butters/ lotions etc. i wonder why i never got into the habit of doing it? especially as i actually have uber dry skin because of the excema. Better start tonight.

    Or use unloved shampoo to clean your make up brushes.:A

    I didn't buy the Liz Earle Todays Special Value from QVC. Yay me. Although today my eyes are sore I could probably do with her eyebright (anyone here used it?). I keep getting puffy eyes, think my eyes dont like the Clarins make up remover, nearly finished now.

    :A
    I bought it but did need to as I have no moisturiser and no skin tonic. Will sell the other bits and keep the other bits spare. I use the eyebright i keep it in the fridge and its really soothing on the eyes and to take off light eye makeup.

    Evening all, I hope everyone is doing OK. Nothing much to report, although my friend dyed my hair for me yesterday so that's another colourant used up. I've gone Red Mahogany for a few weeks. :o Painted my nails earlier too.

    However, it's my birthday today and somebody bought me a perfume to add to the stash. :undecided I'm not being ungrateful, but I don't really know what to do with it - it's not one I wear and since I've never even heard of it before, I'm not sure I would like it......... It's still sealed but I've no idea where it came from.
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Thanks, but I've never sold anything on eBay before and am a bit wary. I might go and have a sniff of it in Boots and see what it's like. It might be OK.

    :wave: UUjust finished up a Ren Mayblossom Cleanser 5ml and an A'kin Lavender Cellular Brightening Mist 125ml. WIBA Found the cleanser a little stripping and ever so slightly stingy so that's a No but I miss the A'kin spray already. My skin likes it and I love the feel of it in this hot weather.

    I also realised in the shower today that I don't have any conditioner - at all :eek:- so I'm going to have to buy some today.

    Blimey it's warm here already! :D
