    Congratulations on the arrival of Kieran Lynseydee :j

    No movement at present. I am using a lot more handcream because of the weather, really should have bought in the 75ml L'Occitane to work rather than using my handbag one. At this rate I'll be buying one to put in my handbag, and I'd rather not yet!

    PYNT in Orly Rock The World - love this colour. Definitely would use a top coat next time though as I get tip wear quite quickly with this formula.

    For fellow np addicts, you should check out A England polishes. I have Galahad & Morgan Le Fay, and they are lovely. There's another collection coming out, but going to resist for now. It's funny how I used to think Nails Inc were awesome, and they do have some amazing colours, but after stepping outside my box, I realise how much I prefer other brands.

    I saw these polishes on a nail blog a few days ago, not heard of them before, King Arthur and Percival sitting in virtual basket, can I resist, that is the question. Yesterday's professional mani in An Affair in Red Square has chipped on index finger :(, have an Orly that is pretty close for touch ups, then I think a layer of Save Me will go over the top, I do like to get several days when I have paid for a treatment! Very MSE or just tight?

    friend sold my marmalade/flowers/bulbs at church coffee morning and I got £25 which covers my materials costs:)....had 9 flower arrangements,9 marmalades and 4 pots of bulbs left but there is a dinner at church next week and as I had already promised to do table arrangements for it that is a job already done:),the marmalade will keep and the bulbs can go in my garden.said i'd do one at the end of march as have bought some decorative eggs to go in the arrangements already.
    nothing to do with tolietries but need to talk about something as determined not to buy anything this month:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    MSE of course! I haven't had a professional mani for ages. Definitely give it a touch up, how annoying that it's chipped though :( I came across them via twitter, and glad I did. The new collection looks amazing. I want Holy Grail and Tristam from the existing one. Percival is lovely too, I just have reds already that I don't wear much.

    Not at all in the spirit of MSE, but I WANT all the grey and all the purples, Holy Grail look fab, but Gold does not suit my skintone, I need to learn how to do *bay, I have a Chanel and an OPI gold, but it all seems a bit daunting, perhaps I should investigate the Faceook Swap thingy.

    Not IN's because they were here all the time, but OH is sorting boxes from our move and just handed me a carrier bag half full of shampoo, shower gel, soaps etc, mini sizes from gift sets I have been given and a lot of holiday hotel freebies :eek:

    my BS order came today but I'm not tempted to keep any of it:j I keep telling myself another offer will come when I've finished the stash and I can buy what I actually want/need

    and another UU:

    avon concealer-WBA- I scraped the last bits out and have been using that for a week but the last bit fell on the floor. Creamy and not very opaque but its easy to use in the mornings in a rush and doesn't end up looking cakey. I have another 2 in the stash and then want to the try collection 2000 concealer. Makeup UU are so satisfying because they don't happen very often:D
    Toiletry spend £34.95 In: 10 out:13

    I'm in for February too. Couple more UUs the last couple of days, Molton Brown silver birch 100ml shower gel and simple light moisturiser.

    I think my addiction is starting to come under control, but I need to keep using up!

    Good luck to everyone for this new month xx

  • First UU of feb!

    Good Works shower gel - one of my HG, it is a bit runny but it smells divine, is SLS free and i get advantage points when buying it. its also often on 3for2 in boots :)
  • Hope everyone is keeping warm!!

    I couldn't take it anymore ladies, I had to TA the Elizabeth Arden eight hour cream. I think I only had like 2 applications or so left, but I really hated the smell. It was just far too medicinal scented for my liking. WNBA.
    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge
    TOTAL UU's in 2012: 588
    Total UU's in 2013: 210
    INS for 2013 starting March: 8
  • How can I be expected not to buy anything unneccessary when Molton Brown email me to tell me they are having an open evening

    Glasgow store - details here

    This will take every ounce of willpower to resist:mad:
