    Hugs to And & Trudji - sorry to hear of your loss :(

    Flirtini - my thoughts are with you also today :(

    I have a GA - S&G No Clogs Allowed self-heating mask. I liked it OK but much prefer the Sanctuary one. As EH said a couple of posts back it also has the beads you are supposed to pop and they get annoying after a while :p

    I'm in for October without a doubt!

    Flirtini, my thoughts are with you too, and huge hugs coming your way :grouphug:

    And and Trudij I'm sorry for the loss of your friend :(

    Hugs to anybody else who would like one :)

    UUs
    S&G Clean on Me 500ml: WIBA? Yes at some point, but with the amount of shower gel I now have, not for a good few months at least I'd imagine.
    Sure Natural Minerals Pure roll-on deodorant: WIBA? No, but only as I'm fed up of them as bought 6 in one go, and am finally onto my second-to-last one.
    LEMUR (L'Oreal Eye Make Up Remover) (sorry for the bad joke!): WIBA? Yes. It was good, although towards the end of the bottle was having real problems removing my waterproof UD eyeliners.

    INs
    Garnier Simply Essentials 2 in 1 Makeup Remover as recommended by somebody here recently (sorry I can't remember who :o) This was needed as my mini clinique one I've decided to leave at work.

    xoxo I bought the exact same colours! This is the blue one. I hovered the magnet for ages, but effect isn't as pronounced as with the grey. I haven't tried the green yet.

    Is it very odd that the contents of this years S&G big gift are not tempting me at all?? :eek::eek::eek:

    p.s. Love the stash lists :D:D

    The blue looks nice Sawan! :D I'm going to take mine off later and play with the other colours and try the magnet in different positions to see what I can do. I want to try the lilac too but they didn't have it in my boots on Sunday. I hope they bring out some brighter colours, although i'm not sure how they'll work if the effect is to produce darker stripes? Hmmm :D I'm quite impressed with the actual polish too, no chips yet even though i've been using my hands a lot and didn't use a top coat.

    I really need to find a way of displaying my NVs so I can look at the colours and pick out different ones easily :o At the moment they're all chucked in a basket and I end up going for the same 4/5 that are on the top :o

    I'm also not overly impressed with the S&G xmas range - thankfully :rotfl: Last years sets had good variety in, this year seems a bit boring. I wonder if they'll be boots OOTW again this year? I think my Mum is expecting another one as her xmas pressie! :o If they're not i'll probably just buy 'bits' and make her a S&G bundle.

    Oooh I also have a few UU -

    FCUK bubble bath - WNBA the smell is a bit strong for me.
    Halos & Horns body wash (orange one) - WBA because it smells lovely and it's free of all the 'nasties'

    another in today,a hand and body lotion that was free with a mag,I sent for it ages ago and forgot about it so when the postie put a crad through for me to pick up a parcel I did not know what it was.
    usually the postie leaves things with neighbours or in the shed so i thought it was something more expensive/exciting:rotfl:but he was a relief man so did not do this...annoying as we have to collect stuff before 9 a.m from the sorting office as we have no post office anymore except for a van mornings that does not keep leters etc for us.
    my aim this month is not to actually buy any toiletries but can't help gettiung the odd freebie!

    The effect seems to be purple with the blue one. The SAs told me the purple one didn't come out as nice, which is why I [STRIKE]left that for a later purchase[/STRIKE] didn't buy it :rotfl: You're right about the coverage. It's got to be the best 17 polish I've tried. The lasting finish ones don't really last I've noticed. I'd like maybe a silver :)

    Buy a drawer unit with clear drawers. Or put them in makeup/wash bags with clear pockets. Mine are scattered but that's how most of them are stored :)

    I like the look of those NV's. I don't need any more yet so won't bother but will bear it in mind for when I do eventually go to buy another. I ought to try and round up my NV's again and get them all into similar places! At least that way, I can just grab a different one each time rather than using the same ones over and over again. I don't think I'll ever get any UU's though, I've had 2 since I started the challenge but they weren't UU just too gloopy to use :(
    Off for a bath now and get ready for work. Night all :)

    Hmmm not so impressed with the NV now - I just had a bath and half of it on one hand has peeled off. As I bath in normal temperature water and not lava i'm not impressed :rotfl: It's so easy to apply though because you only need one coat so I won't give up on it yet :p

    UU - BS raspberry scrub - WNBA because it's too much like jam for me - verrrrry runny, leaves a million seeds in the bath and turns everything pink. It doesn't taste nice either :p I have plenty more scrubs in the stash though so will dig out another.
