    Three OUTs today from swaps on another forum (I'm going to go to the Post Office shortly):

    17 Fast Finish Nail Polish in Fury
    Andrea Fulerton Trio Nail Polish in Art Attack
    Rimmel Lasting Finish Nail Polish in Your Majesty
    WBA all of these again as the colours were really nice, they applied easily and lasted well. Now I just need to resist the urge to replace them!

    Hi, are you able to post the name of the other forum on here? If not, would you PM me with it please. Cheers. Val
    Back 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!

    a uu: Umberto Giannini Spa Rituals shampoo- this smells divine and does a good enough job although I find if I use it everyday my hair gets a little dry so I have been alternating it with another shampoo, I have another one in the stash so no need to repurchase. I don't know when I'm ever going to get through the shampoo mountain!

    happy pampering, xo

    Well done. Although I'm not happy that JL are selling it already as that was my get out clause - in that I wouldn't be able to smell it for 6 months and not be tempted.

    I have only ever returned two beauty products to QVC in all the time I have shopped with them hence why I ended up with a stash in the first place! One was a Philosophy gift set which contained the Gingerbread man fragrance which was awful. The other item I have returned was a set of OPI lacquers because I had ordered the wrong option so I only returned them to get a replacement!

    Apparently the LD kit has a colour called Sunburst in it from the Castaway collection and I didn't like any of those colours so am hoping it's awful!!

    Will be treating myself to the Elemis one though. Such a long time to wait! x

    Just googled the 'castaway collection' I literally have no willpower left :rotfl: I'm really liking coconutty, message in a bottle and maroon me not! I'd defo be tempted if they're in the TSV! Can't see the sunburst colour though, hopefully it'll be a orange colour as I'm really not in to oranges!! :rotfl:

    Clearly I spend to much time on the NPA thread as I'm currently obsessed with getting a Lynnderella polish, so so pretty! Wish they sold them on QVC :D

    The best highlighter I have ever used is the No 7 one but they discontinued this years ago. It was a very fine liquid so blended easily and could be used for more coverage. Haven't looked for a long time so maybe No 7 have a new one available?

    Is it one that came in pink or gold? If so, they still have it. It used to come in a glass bottle but now it's in a brush packaging. The brush is annoying as it clogs up with product so I pulled it off - it's just glued in.

    For all you ladies who did not buy the Philosophy TSV :j:j:j:j:j yey - go you!

    VALM - I will let you know how I get on with it once it arrives. On the plus side, I only ordered a single drop - no AD for me this time. So slight progress. Baby steps and all that!!!

    Hope you all are having a nice weekend.

    Two more UU's today:
    NiveaSoft Face/body/hands. This was good but it is cheaper to buy their handcream.

    A sample sachet of Maybeline Dream satid liquid, I threw this away since it irritated my skin so wont buy.

    2 UU:j:

    S&G hand food- WNBA- like others I'm tired of the sickly sweet smell. I think mine had gone off anyway as it didn't smell the same. I used the last of it on my feet, I'm so happy it's finally finished!

    and a small HE conditioner from hair dye

    I've had a lot of INs and not many UUs this month, hopefully this will change next month! Most are essentials though.

    IN
    Superdrug Tea Tree & Peppermint shampoo 300ml
    Superdrug Tea Tree & Peppermint conditioner 250ml
    Pantene Repair & Protect conditioner sachet
    Care almond oil 50ml (I'm going to be using it on my nails/hands I think)

    TA
    W7 Gold crackle polish - it dried up. WNBA I hated it! Gloopy and the brush was awful. Think I'll TA my other W7 crackles (I've never used them..) too.
