Valm - it was me with the undressed pallette, I am not sure if you can use them wet, if you see one don't hesitate if you think you want it because they sell out really quickly at first.

I am having problems with my skin at the moment, particularly on my temples and cheeks, it is so blocked and I can see loads of bumps under the skin. I am putting it down to the No7 P&P serum and the matching moisturisers, I used the serum for about 10 days and noticed that my skin was congested, I stopped using it but carrried on with day and night cream and now it is really bad. I had a look online yesterday for ingredients which are the worst culprits for spots and acne and went through my whole stash so there were a few things which I passed on to my mum and DH (face washes, moisturisers mainly).

I have now gone back to my beloved Clinique Moisture Surge for night and Oilatum Natural Repair cream for day so hope to see an improvement.

I got one of the MUA Undressed pallettes today. Our local Superdrug had a few of them in stock. The colours are gorgeous. Don't suppose any of you lovely ladies know of any blogs that give instructions on the different applications. Am wearing a little bit now and it felt very silky on application.

I'm another one who has had problems with Protect and Perfect. I remember that the congestion I suffered was really painful. Hope your Clinique and Oilatum soon soothe your skin.

The only other toiletry I bought today was a tube of L'Occitane Cade Aftershave balm for MrM which is his HG and he's nearly out of it.

One more UU to declare: Dove Pomegranate and Lemon Verbena body wash. WNB. I was given this in a gift set for my birthday. I don't usually buy Dove as it dries my skin.

Did have a look at the Essie stand in Boots and Lilacism is the same as the $OPI colour I'm wearing but I didn't feel compelled to buy any. Can't justify any more lacquer at the mo.

If it's a fab deal to you and you use all the products, why not?

Does that mean I can come off the naughty step?

I do love Liz Earle and I've wanted to try and shampoo for ages, also I resisted the last Liz Earle TSV so I was due a fall from grace

DAY 8 :j:j

Interesting reading the comments about P&P, I rediscovered a half full pump dispenser of this the other day and have been using it, I had used it since it first became available and there used to be a waitlist!. It is still great for me and I have to give it credit for the way my skin is (together with good skin genes) now at 63 (not sure what emoticon to use here), :j for good skin or :eek: for being 63! :rotfl:

I watched the Minnie Mouse presentation and was surprised that I really liked the colours, but I have quite a few pinks and reds, so not sure if I will buy, like ValM, I think I would prefer the Autumn colours.

Don't think I've mentioned my 2 INs: Baptiste dry shampoo.

I've run out, so I bought two while they were on special offer (I don't see them on offer that often, so this gives me a bit of breathing space to spot the next one). Does on count as an in? I'll definitely use them!

In other news, the Breakfast Scrub is still a LHJ, but is slowly going. I reckon it will be a UU in 3 - 4 weeks, which is still quite a long time, but I had images of it lasting about six months! :eek:

I have another UU to report!! (I am cheating slightly as I'd sort of started to follow this challenge before officially signing up )

Schwarzkopf Professional BC Bonacure Q10 Plus Time Restore Treatment …

This was bought under severe persuasion from an overpriced hairdresser (along with the shampoo and conditioner :P)

I've had it for ages as I kept saving it for "best" given I think I spent over £10 for the pot, I know that might not be a lot to some people, but for a conditioning treatment?

I stopped saving it for best after I heard about the PRCP

WIBA? Well it did leave my hair lovely and shiny, but I'm sure that I can find cheaper products that do the same, so probably not.

Another one bites the dust!! Thats 2 UUs so far this month :T

Happy Birthday Miromir :bdaycake:

A few IN I forgot to declare yesterday - 3 x sachets of L'Oreal Revitalift 10 BB cream that arrived in the post - tried one of these this morning, quite liked it, there's a couple of uses worth in each sachet so should have a good idea by the end as to whether I want to buy it in future.

Also had a few UU, movement has been slow so far this month with IN doubling the UU at the moment but I've a few splutterers and no planned purchases so hopefully things will catch up:

Sure Aloe Vera roll on deo - Sure is my HG but have a few more knocking around in the stash (somewhere) so no need to replace straight away

Tresemme 24hr Body styling mousse - WBA - love this, its great for 'big hair' - only use it when I'm going out so took ages to UU - won't replace straight off either as have similar products in the stash to get through first

S&G Clean Mary - I quite like this, I really didn't use cream cleanser before joining the challenge as I though it was too much like hard work Now I'm a cleanse, tone and moisturise girl (mostly). I've various different cleansers I've been gifted over time to get through - nothing to compare this with as yet but it was very effective and seemed gentle as no ill effect to my skin. I'm not sure that they do it any longer but I think there's another tube in the stash in any case

That's me at the moment. Dreading work this week, its set to be a tough one so I've got that dreaded Sunday Night Feeling Will try and focus on the positive!
