    Great news about your mum Scrappie. Vegas sounded fab - I love there, it's my favourite holiday destination.

    I am having a bit of an issue with my No7 night cream. It is in a pump action bottle made of very think plastic - the type your kitchen shears can't get cut through. I can see that there is about a fifth of product left in it but the pump is no longer delivering. I have done the shake 'n' shuggle but it is still not working. Really miffed as I don't want to TA the rest of this.

    I have been known to saw through these kind of bottles :o carefully!! :rotfl:

    I haven't been on for a while but I have now managed to catch and and now for the update.

    I didn't get any toiletries for my birthday :eek::eek: very shocked at this but glad as well. oh took me for a surprise weekend away, had a fab time. My mother in law bought me a facial in the hotel spa, they used Yon Ka products which were lovely. I was sorely tempted to buy something but I resisted. I also managed to resist the hotel toiletry samples.

    Also I need to have a party :beer:as I have UU'ed the following

    500ml S&G shower gel - have another one of these in the stash so no need to buy more.
    500ml S&G body lotion - this lasted forever. I would not be keen to buy another of these purely because I am bored with S&G.
    Head & Shoulders shampoo - HG will buy another once my current one starts to splutter.

    Your weekend away sounds lovely. Re: S&G looks like you are cured just in time for the annual OOTW. lol.

    Painted my nails last night in No7 Temptress (very dark claret) and I really like it.

    The colour looks lovely. I love vampy colours this time of year. Am wearing OPI Espresso Your Style which is one of my all time favourites. Not sure if it's retired now though. I'm on my second bottle. x
    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!

    UU: bath bomb :)
  • I've been bad, I just ordered the Selfridges Lucky Bag. I have resisted the urge to sign up to one of beauty boxes till now and thought for £15 it wasn't too bad. Plus you might get a £150 gift card if you're lucky! Don't think I will be but it will give me a few treats to try.

    Sometimes this mse doesn't work out too well! I saw this and had to get one. It was this or the advent calendar so i hope i have made the right choice
  • Ought to put my list on here - no time this evening though!

    1 uu - small molten brown bath/shower gel acquired from a hotel along time ago with serveral others. WBA smells lovely and I found it very relaxing

    Essential Care Organic Rose Moisturiser, 1.5ml - WNBA, not as good as Dr Hauscka
    Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream, 7ml - WBA, love this stuff! Quite sad i have no eye cream now, as i am so busy at the moment, it has been working wonders for my dark circles!

    Unfortunately my pale skin strikes again - this was too yellowy for me and made me look bruised around the eye area, not the desired effect!
