Welcome Cas and good luck with your weight loss plan. I'm also a member of the Weight Loss thread on MSE and they seem to be as friendly as the ladies on this thread. Have lost 2lbs in my first week so v. pleased. If anyone is looking for recipe inspiration I heartily recommend The Hairy Dieters book.

I love this book too, made the skinny lasagne at the weekend, it was delicious! And thanks for the recommendation for the ww thread, I was wondering if there was one on here, I'll look that up. I went to the gym three times last week so I'm getting there, just got to start being a little more careful with what I eat, I've been gradually scaling back since Christmas, didn't think I could cope with 'cold turkey' no pun intended Well done on the weight loss :T

more INS, my illamasqua sale order arrived. This seems to be my one real weakness, i love their products and the colours, i seem to stock up every time they have a sale

IN:
Nail varnish in vamp
Eye shadow in Lestat and Savage
Pigment in zeitgeist
Liquid metal in Surge
Lipstick in Sangers (HG red and it was £5 )
illuminator in poised

got a few splutterers but they seem to be turning into LHJ just to annoy me!

Afternoon ladies hope you are all well,

welcome to the thread Cas :wave: good luck writing your inventory, I find having a list is very helpful for keeping my (roughly) on track - it's also very satisfying when you score something off it!

I have two uu's -

bourjois blusher in rose dore - this little pot has lasted for aaaaages! The colour is ideal for my skin tone so will definitely buy again

maybelline colossal mascara - I like this a lot, it gives great volume and length and doesn't leave me with panda eyes at the end of the day, wba.

happy pampering, xo

Love both these too! They're both pretty MSE to boot

What was the Amarya personalised box like.

They all seem to be different according to your profile.
I got:
madara firming eye contour gel
Terre d'oc lipstick
and as extras john masters shampoo and conditioner sachets and dr hauschka day cream and serum sachets

last month I got a full size intensive conditioner and zoya nail varnish

I am tempted, but wouldn't get one till stash is gone now thought. Mind you it could be my reward when its all gone.

I always want to love amarya boxes as they are more natural than the others but although its often something I want to try I find its often not in my skin type or a colour id use. Which is why I thought id try the personalised box.

This month I prefer the normal amarya box as im not really convinced eye creams work (with the exception of one im trialing for beauty bible) and im not a big lipstick wearer.

Will be cutting back on boxes later in the year so these may be ones to chop.

I keep my used mascaras seperately then when Clinique have their free sample offer(which usually requires a full size mascara to be given in) use one of my old ones as a swap.

My February box will be the last one, finished 12 months with them now, so will be taking a break from beauty boxes for a while.

You know how when you diet all you can think of is chocolate? Well I'm on this toiletries detox and all I can think of is toiletries I want to try! Emma Hardie cleansing balm, Ojon deep conditioner, aromatherapy associates bath oil, Neom bath oil, elemis quiet mind relaxing bath elixir...I'm dreaming of them all!

No more UUs, my shower gel is spluttering but that's about it!
