    Valm - thanks for the info over on last months thread abouth the L'Occ - I will be safe as I OD'd on almond shower oil when they had it as the constant product in an AD a few years ago.

    Yes, I had an AD that featured one of these each time. I had a small amount left in a travel bottle that I decanted off to take away with us last year up until I ordered a new one last month.

    Problem - I really, really want today's TSV:eek::eek::eek: It's the first of the month, I should be able to do better than this???
    [/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]

    I used to feel like this, that I wanted to treat myself at the beginning of the month. I did get a rude awakening when I saw my VISA bill this time though and am determined to go cold turkey. Thankfully, I have a HG mascara so have not been tempted by this at all. My HG is Clinique Lash Power. My current tube is feeling quite light so am hoping it will see me through this month. I'm pretty sure I have another Clinique one in stash that was a GWP so that would have to do if I run out this month.

    So yay me for making it through day 1.
    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!

  • Hello ladies :)

    I will be having some GA's shortly as I just met someone at work who is going through a tough time with money and other personal things, so I'm going to give her a pick me up gift bag full of products. Helps her and helps me clear out :)

    Hi! :wave:

    I'm in again! Thanks to sunshineyday.

    One IN from yesterday, a mini Benefit porefessional from Glamour. I had a go with it this morning, and I would say my face is slightly less greasy at the end of the day.
    I'm definitely tempted by next month's Glamour freebies though :D

    Tomorrow's plan for me is to update my stash list, to just shock myself into not buying anything else; and make a mini list of things to UU this month.

    :D

    :A Very kind and thoughtful tokkiand oliver. I am sure they will be much appreciated.

    Itzybitzy - You seem to be on a great roll with selling your items too. Have you thought about what you might do with the extra cash?

    I have been rushing about all day today. Work was crazy busy and then I was straight out afterward. I have now just come home and realised I forgot to look for the Glamour mag :doh:.

    What are your thoughts on how long to keep eye shadow pallets? I am working on two at the mo and have made some good progress but they have been open for a while now and I am a bit paranoid about getting an eye infection.

    Possible OUT looming in my Clinique Mascara which has started to go on a bit clumpy today. It has only been open for two months so I do feel I bit cheated out of a month. I will know for sure over the weekend.

    Hope everyone enjoys the long weekend ahead.

    UU's
    L'oreal elvive hair conditioner - it was on offer so I bought it. This was the only full size conditioner I have in my stash. Going to use up my samples so I won't have to buy hair conditioner for another 3 weeks hopefully :)


    Bare minerals foundation in light - this was a sample size and I would totally buy again!!! Altho in a darker shade, I love this foundation so much. I am spluttering on my 2nd sample pot. Once I finish my other foundations I will go purchase this.

    Eye products are good for years and years - bacteria need water to grow so it's really only liquid products that go bad.

    For the mascara, try taking the brush out and wiping it clean. Sometimes it's just dried mascara on the brush making it clumpy and the rest of the formula is fine.

    welcome back hanval - how is it all going over there?

    Hi Trudij & thanks. All ok, jetlag slept off but work hectic, hence ma infrequent posts (usually respond whilst I’m at work, naughty I know, and simply haven’t had a chance the last couple of weeks.

    hello hanval - welcome back! Glad you loved your secret swap pressie Your buddy did good.

    Yes, my swop buddy did very well!

    I'm in.

    I didn't really participate much last month because of the pregnancy taking it's toll with the nausea and I just didn't feel upto pampering myself but it's subsiding abit now so I can hopefully use some things up.

    LadyM, I must have missed this exciting bit of news, many congrats!

    So, after a few days back in Blighty I have a number of INs to declare:

    BS lip & cheek stain,
    IN Style nail varnish, Bluebell
    Benefit pore refiner & mascara
    All of the above were magazine freebies

    Casting Creme gloss in Mahogany
    Sanctuary body butter, huge tub!
    Both purchases from previous trips that I couldn’t fit in my suitcase

    Molton Brown 10 piece travel set, an impulsive and very naughty duty free purchase

    UUs:

    Sanctuary body wash & body lotion, both 75ml and plenty more where they came from

    I paid my usual visit to M&S and was horrified to see their fantastic cheapo make up range has been discontinued. Maybe you know this already. I’m so disappointed. The nail varnishes and lip glosses were an absolute steal and excellent quality. They’ve got a new Limited Collection range, perhaps the formula is the same, but the colours certainly aren’t and the price has gone up :-(


    Think that’s all for now. Will do my best to follow the threads more this month.

    Have a lovely jubilee weekend all of you. Britain looked lovely with all the Union Jacks up everywhere.


    Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end - Edward Whymper
