Another UU to report:

Nivea Naturals Hand Cream - WNBA, it left a weird film on my hands and made it difficult to put gloves on at work.

Now on to the last of my stash, a mini S&G hand food!

Bev97 - are you going to share your home made srum recipe?

It is quite basic really but I use a 10ml roller ball and add peach kernal oil which is a good light facial oil and then add to this a blend of Chamomile, Bergamot, lavender, sandalwood, vetiver, mandarin and frankincense. Lasts ages and I can be a bit more generous with it rather than just the three recommended drops you are supposed to use with the Decleor oils. I then put my moisturiser over the top.

What do people do with beauty box boxes? I'm thinking about using them for storing different products. I'm so disorganised right now.


Can I be added to the facebook group pleeease? I've unearthed enough unopened make up to restock Sephora

I've been using those boxes to store things like nail files, cotton balls, nail clippers, and other misc beauty products.

I've also used them as gift boxes too

a quick UU:

vichy activlift (or something!) sample- WNBA- it was very nice but I don't need ant ageing products yet:rotfl: have another one anyway (why did they send 2?)

pleased to say I've been wearing eyeliner and perfume everyday:D as I have quite big stashes of both. Lots of things spluttering so hope to have some UU soon :j

on my original stash list before i was doing this challenge i added on what everything cost me and had a running total. it was over £2,000. :eek:

can i be added to the Facebook group too please?

also UU, Mugler Angel perfume sample. WNBA - its base note is far too sweet for me.

Two more UU last night and one this morning.

Firstly Bomb Cosmetics Rosebud Buttercup, looks gorgeous, smells gorgeous in box but bit disappointed that it didn't really smell of much once it was in the bath water and although it felt moisturising wasn't as nice as the pink bath Meltz I'd used a couple of days before so WNBA on this basis.

Given the disappointment of above, I then added some M&S Merry Berry bath caviar which turned the bath water a very cheerful shade of pink and smelt lovely - wasn't convinced this would dissolve very well as quite hard large pieces, especially as I didn't throw it in under the running water and also used a whole, albeit, quite small bottle! Extravagant I know, think half a bottle would have been plenty but got carried away! Got some more of these in different varieties, WBA if the price was right as quite fun.

Finally, used up a small bar of Lush Mandarins Tea Party this morning, I like this, its very orange and cheerful and easy to get a nice lather up so WBA but have got a bigger bar in the stash already :T

Finding this challenge really good fun so far, I would definitely usually have bought several items during this time either by not really thinking about it or by not knowing what I already had and purchasing duplicates

INs
Cotton wool pads
Venus razor

Necessary though so i'm not going to feel guilty

I'm wondering if I fine myself for unnecessary(!) INs with £2 in my pot whether it will put me off a bit more
