Three ins to declare
Soap &Glory lid stuff in whats nude
Soap &Glory trick and treatment
Soap &Glory Its about prime
All three were bought on 3 for 2 and sales assistant let me use my £2 voucher from Elle as well.The eye shadow was one of my allowed items for this month, and was wanting to try an eyeshadow primer and see if i could get something to cover the dark circles under my eyes better than my usual concealer as they seem to bet getting worse. I promise no more spending this month.0 -

and I am a total sucker for anything that comes with a bag :eek:. The others I will probably be ok - the JW will be interesting as I haven't tried anything by her and my friend raves about the serum but I must be strong. Just going to avoid the tv today so I don't crumble. Nails Inc I am not too fussed about and I prefer Elemis to Decleor so I will hopefully be safe (apart from the LG). When I joined the challenge I did say that I would restrict myself to 1 tsv a month so if I can holdout to end Feb I might be able to award myself a little treat in a bag!
I saw this earlier on ST.com. Someone on there made a comment that the SPF15 element in the BnB has made the colour of the product different so I guess when I need a new one I'll order from QVC as it may have to be returned. Out of all the kit the only bit that I like the look of is the blusher.
I have put a tube of LG Banish N Brighten concealer on the fb swapsies page if anyone is interested. It's consistency is like a foundation and I find it too runny to apply.rosemary54 wrote: »hope you are all keeping warm and ready for the snow:rotfl:
DH thought it was funny to lock me out when I was outside breaking the ice on the pond so the birds could have a drink:mad:
started using the clarins santal oil and my skin feels lovely :)very smooth and not at all dry,thye say use at night but as I am home all day have put it on this am as well(it is not at all greasy)
suffering with hairy legs as I want to get them waxed before I go on hols(can't wait to feel warm!)and thought I'd get a luxury pedicure at the same time as a treat but not sure what colour to go for for 10 days.
We have had loads of birds in our garden today on the feeder. It's been lovely to watch them.
It's lovely when you find a product that works isn't it? I've just started using Clinique Moisture Surge (a freebie from last year's Glamour mag) and though it's lovely on its own it feels more gorgeous with TBS Naturalift serum underneath it.
You should have your toe nails painted bright pink and have a glitter top coat applied. xBack for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

on her website, lisa eldridge has been raving about the new bourjois ones with serums in for months if you don't want to spend a lot.
I love Lisa Eldridge. I bought the bourjois healthy mix after watching her video. I really like itNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge

Woah tokkiandoliver 300 polishes! And I have MrM moaning about me having 95! I bow to you. You must own all the OPI back catalogue! Is there a colour range you end up buying over and over again. I own a lot of reds.
I was constantly buying the same colours, over and over again. That's the problem. I found that I had 5-6 of the same exact shade....I realised, I need to chill ahhahah, I don't need that many dupes, so I'm being very careful now. I only buy polishes now that I don't have a duplicate for. I'm quite happy too, as now I have lots more space.No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge

Hi, I'm a bit late this month as I can't navigate my way round copying and pasting on my Ipad that Santa brought.
Doing well on the shampoo and conditioner front, now used up all my stash so just have one bottle of each on the go:D.
Still haven't added on my Christmas stuff as it's still in the boxes until I need it.
I'm in again
Red text means I'm using it!
Grey means I finished it this month! (Not keeping a records of previous months UU's anymore!)

I don't really have a 'stash' of make-up as I use everything I have so won't be posting that. Also not posting my sachets as I'm not sure MSE's servers could cope!
Note for January - Santa delivered a Baylis and Harding giftset which needs to be added in. Also, DH refused to by me any smellies:mad: as apparantly I enough so I treated myself to a half price S&G Giftset in the Boots sale. Both will be added to my stash list once I get them opened:D.0 -

Going to Lidl this evening to get someLife is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

Have tried my Soap & Glory trick and treatment under eye concealer and it seems to do the job well. Will be spending next week handing out Olay samples.0
