Went to 3 shops today looking for glamour mag, none had it in yet, am so sick of seeing the cover of last months looking at me from the shelf.

Cracked open a pack of no7 face wipes today, first time I've tried them and they are really thick and my face didn't feel tight at all afterwards.

Little uu for me tonight, the last of the Dirty works bubble bath, been using this up in the kids bath, does the job, and loads of bubbles but i'm fed up of the smell.

Happy hols rosemary54

March thread - yay! Here's my "No need to buy list" - things I just have too much of! Stuff I am trying to use up are underlined.

No need to buy:
Bronzer/blush - Elf, Elf kit, Clarins, Laura Geller blush, MUA pink blush; BareEssentials (HG Laura Geller)
Moisturiser (rich) - Nivea; Clinique x2; Clarins multi x2/SPF; Clinique moisture surge (HG Clarins)
Face masks - Clarins; Mudd; Jeunessex4 (HG Dermologica)
Shower/scrub - Radox, S&G, Nivea. S&G scrub
Body butter - Avon; Elemis; Clarins scented one (HG Champneys)
Hand cream - S&G, Nivea, Aveeno

As I get my stash under control they move to the Holy Grail category
Clarins Cleanser * L'Oreal eye make up remover * Dermologica scrub * Body Shop seaweed SPF * Liz Earle eye serum * Clinique spot clearing gel * Rimmel volume flash mascara * Collection 2000 Mineral powder foundation (discontinued..sniff) *

In - the Glamour magazine/ Clinique lip gloss. Not bad for £2 I say. I don't have many on the go. I nearly spent £10 in the Avon book but decided against it. I remembered the stash list above! But I will add £2 to my total spend as it wasn't strictly planned.
Another In - Body Shop seaweed moisturiser. It's a HG and the 2 tubes I have in use are both spluttering. A planned spend so all ok. Got one of those facial brushes from them too - any good?

I'm completely new to the forums so please tell me if I'm going about this incorrectly.
I have an insane amount of body stuff that I need to use - no idea how I've accumulated so much considering I'm in uni halls and only have a room with no hand basin etc!

Have a lovely holiday! Next time B call ask - can you tell me which department you;re calling from, then ask and can I have your name please. Then say - I'm writing to the head of customer services to report your sales call. blah!

A warm welcome to MSE!

Thanks for the list Rosemary!

Sawan - I've got a pale beige Nails Inc colour too and it's just a rubbish colour! I thought it might be sophisticated!!!! :rotfl:

Minerva - love the sound of lime green and crackle top coat! Bet it look great! Must try that colour

EH - didn't think of trying a different mascara! I'm so silly! Anyway, I used a different one today and seems to be much better, so will probably throw the offending one away

Off to catch up on rest of the thread now!

I've got a beige nails inc nail varnish too. I actually used it to label all of DD's camping equipment before she went to brownie camp. Horrid stuff. It didn't even go on nicely so it's a horrid colour which goes streaky too.
No ins or outs for me today. Shall keep on going
Actually, I do have an out! I forgot I have UU the toothpaste. New one ready for tonight

Well after my detour onto the naughty esculator I'm back for March :j

Think I'll be a very good girl this month - so long as Ll*yds don't have any more fantastic offers

Hope you have a fab holiday Rosemary!

That's the one! Streaky and rubbish! Nails Inc never see to work for me

Erm, a tiny, tiny IN to report A sachet of Palmers Coconut Oil deep conditioning hair thingy jumped into my hands while I was waiting for my prescription (I'm a sucker for coconut things and thought I deserved a treat for going to the Doctors :rotfl:). It will be straight out tomorrow or Friday though. Promise! :A Will change my sig.

Does anyone know where I can buy a cheap blood pressure monitor from? I have to take some readings back to the surgery as apparently I'm too much of a panic-er and fidget to get a proper reading! :rotfl:
