    I have ins as my Amarya box has arrived, ins below in white copied from a post on the beauty box thread

    Inika Mineral Eyeshadow (Peach Fetish) - This is full-sized (worth £11.75).

    Morrocan Rose Otto Body Cream (50ml, worth approx £6.13)

    REN Photoactive Sun Veil (3ml) - great little handbag size.

    Antipodes, Rejoice Light Facial Day Cream (5ml)

    Happy with the box really wanted to try more Ren products, with the red mag freebie I got last week it probably means i could have a whole week only using Ren products.

    I have the same, including the same shade of eyeshadow. That is 3 INs for me as I won't count the sachet.

    Also, have some OUTs to declare:

    Body Shop mango body butter - this was a mag freebie from a little while back - liked the texture but found the smell a bit overpowering. Would try other BS body butters once I am ready to make a necessary body lotion/butter purchase.

    Jo Hansford everyday conditioner - WNBA - didn't really do much for me. Liked the smell of the shampoo that came with this but nowhere near HG products on my hair.

    Apologies for the long post everyone

    Well that was certainly part of it :D However my LE Toner is almost empty and I'm down to trial sizes of C&P so would have to do a LE shop soon anyway. I would have loved it if the full size Skin Repair was in as well but I'm not exactly short of face cream!!

    :D

    Ah, that's ok then lol. LE never puts full sizes of all the essentials in though does she?
    I have a dilemma - I am currently using one of the Tigi bed head shampoo and conditioner's in the salon sizes. However I have noticed that my hair just doesn't feel clean with the shampoo and the conditioner isn't very conditioning. Do I bite the bullet and carry on using these or shall I re-purpose them and buy some new hair care?

    I think that I'd put the Tigi products on one side and try something else for a month. Then I'd try the Tigi ones again and see if there is any difference. Your hair might be going through a funny stage - vit d deficiency made mine very dry/fall out (:eek:) and if I get run down it effects my hair. (Apparently it takes three months for an 'event' to show up in your hair, IYSWIM).

    If you find it's the Tigi stuff at fault, then I'd repurpose it :)

    I was going to say the same as Willowbee. I had to do this when I was using a salon sized bottle of Ojon.
    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!

    Thread has been moving quickly, but can anyone help out with my earlier question re what to expact from a Swedish massage
    TIA
    Life 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.
    Take time but don't waste time

    asset - just did a quick google found this

    http://spas.about.com/od/swedishmassage/a/Swedish.htm

    I have had several massages for illness/ injury and relaxation. I have never been completly nude for any of them (I always keep my pants on:D). It's one of the most relaxing things I can think of - what a lovely gift to be given.

    Hope you enjoy it!

    I have some UU due to DH helping me finish them.

    No.7 P&P Intense Day Cream 50ml
    John Masters Organics Lavender & Rosemary Shampoo 236ml

    Both are WNBA have decided that P&P stuff does nothing for me so when all UU WNBA to be honest unlikely to buy much No.7 now. The shampoo smelt nice but started leaving my hair looking lanky after a few washes plus prefer to use shampoo specifically for coloured hair.

    Whoops, bought 6 mini nail varnishes off of ASOS this evening - in my defence it was £10 for them all and they're two sets of three that normally retail at £8 a set...

    Wanted to open something from my Amarya box tonight but DH wouldn't let me. Think he must have been on here as he's told me to UU what's open first. Wonder what else he can help me UU.
