    Hi guys, hope it's not too late to join, I've been doing this challenge 'ad hoc' so far haha
    This sounds really silly but I can't bear to look at this thread, everytime I read the inventories, it makes me want to go buy all these nice stuff!:rotfl: :o They all sound so good and I feel like I could do with some of that, lol
    Anyone else gets this problem?:rotfl:
    I decided to do this for the year but i've already caved in and bought 3 Matrix conditioners on offer :)

    If I wasn't taking care of my skin I probably wouldn't be in this thread drowning in products :p It's for more mature skins so going to my mum next time I see her.

    I know what i meant haha.....i meant these things are for maturer skin but i started using mature skin stuff when i was about your age (i know im only 25 now) and it has helped a great deal. I say start early, it can do you no harm :)

    Hope you're all having a great day.
    I am so proud of myself lol
    I walked into boots and did not buy anything because of this challenge. I am so shocked, usually I can't resist sales, but I didn't buy a single thing. WOOHOO!!

    And I hope this week I'll have some UU's :)

    That is good news rosemary54. Infections and viruses do take a while to get over. Tenerife is definitely justified!

    Totally justified Rosemary. You may even need to space two hoildays out one in Oct/Nov and another in Feb as it will still be very dark most of the time.:p

    I have a UU - a freebie sample size of Lancome Youth Serum. I WNB as I did not see any difference in my skin it was a good size sample and did last a fair few weeks though. So I am now back to my P & P serum now.

    OUT – gone off
    SunSense Daily Face Invisible Tint Finish SPF 50+ 75ml

    Can I ask what you thought of this? I've been wondering because a dermatologist told me it's the one her and all her colleagues recommend to their patients as it's supposed to be the best facial sunscreen. How long did you have it before it went off?

    I will be joining you lot next month I think! I tend to stock up around Christmas/January sales so don't need to buy anything for a while. I don't think I need any makeup for a long time! I've somehow ended up with 6 bronzers!! They'd last me a lifetime!
