Just come in to declare/brag that I have a few ins because I won a charity raffle ( so pleased as i never win anything yay!)

Ins:
Beauty Works Body and hair oil
Body shop Sweet Lemon Soap
BS White musk smooth satin body lotion
BS Moringa Milk body lotion
BS Moringa shower gel
Pack of treats
Bs White Musk shower gel

I will keep these in reserve as emergency pressies or family toiletries as I have sensitive skin so won't be able to use the shower gels.

Hi kiplingmonkey what do you think of today's TSV? Know I'm gonna end up watching QVC today as I'm around the house all day. Must stay strong. Have real necessities to buy this month in the shape of cleansers and moisturisers. lol.

I have an eyeshadow similar to wheatsheaf - shell by Bobbi Brown. I bought it in the US quite some time ago and still has loads left. At the time I thought I was buying Bone but I like shell better as it's more pinky.

I am weakening - I am thinking of ordering the Pure G on waitlist as I love Philosophy fragrances. Not sure about the hand cream but know I would love everything else. I have some AG but not PG so it is sooooooo tempting.... I did resist the LE so haven't done a TSV this month and I did say when I joined the challenge I would allow myself 1 TSV a month (as opposed to the 5 or 6 I used to do). Have you been good???

I too have the BB eyeshadow in shell - it came in a palette from the Q with 2 other eye shadows and a blush. It is the set I always take on holiday with me and it is my intention when I have UU everything to have 1 BB palette (maybe when I reach 100 - LOL :rotfl:)

Not an IN but a 'rediscovered under the bed'. (I don't move the bed very often - my mother would be so horrified!)

Sometimes these discoveries annoy, but I'm really pleased about this one.

A 3/4 full 50ml Rituals Tao Mei Dao body cream that I can remember using as a foot cream. I'm so pleased. It was a mag. freebie, I'm sure.
I thought I had thrown this out accidentally earlier in the year and I loved it.
It's £15 for 200ml on Am*zon so I was a bit gutted about losing it. I gave it 5 stars in my review.

I so wanted the beetle juice collection as well. They looked so nice on their Facebook page

Don't want to be seen as enabling but the Beetlejuice polishes are still available at boots.com.

Nice win there London baby. Intrigued as to what the pack of treats contained.

HOW did you use up 74 items in one month?! :eek:

I count absolutly everything so you don't end up losing track of samples as well! So i count samples as items as well! Although i did use up quite a few larger sizes this month as well! Sorry, some of them were GA's as well.......meant to write that in lol

if you look on my blog you can see pictures of the empties which kinda gives you a better idea x:rotfl:(Although it doesn't show soap and stuff that has been used up)

I love Philosophy fragrances as well but the hand cream and the size of the scrub put me off. I've had the hand cream before and it is very thick. I find if they are too thick they don't absorb and flake straight off. Am having this problem at the moment with a LE one that I'm using. The body scrub would probably only last me a couple of weeks at the rate that I use it.

BB and Laura Geller are the brands that I find are consistently good re: eyeshadow and blush.

Are beds meant to be moved?? Ours has only been moved recently as MrM has decorated the bedroom ready for when we have the new wardrobes fitted in December. New headboard arrived yesterday and the room's looking lovely already. Don't think he found anything under the bed though. lol x

This did make me smile:rotfl: I don't move heavy furniture (back problem) so rely on OH to be in cleaning mode! Once found a pair of D-I-L's sandals under spare bed, weeks after she had visited, she owned rather a lot of shoes, and had no idea where she hadleftthem:D

Thank you for new thread sunshineyday, see you all across there.
