Morning all!

Scan pages 1 and 2 and you'll see you're not the only one!

I know, I just hadn't realised that it had gotten this bad!

Just finishing up last minute packages and GA's. I'm going out at 56 tonight (53 ga's and 3 uu's) super happy about that and feels amazing to have so many outs!

3 UU's -
Lush space girls - one of my favs
Lush hair doctor - my hair feels amazing!
Lush oatifix - my skin needed this so badly this week.

Three UUs so far this month :T

Fcuk body wash mini-WBA, I really like this fortunately there is another in the stash.

Gilchrist and Soames body lotion- WBA if I could find it, no idea where it's from, a hotel somewhere perhaps?

Lush up you gets shower bomb thingy- not a fan of these shower bombs so WNBA, had this ages and by the time I'd gotten round to using it there was no fragrance and it fell apart rather than fizzed.

Getting a few UUs mainly because there are only dregs left. I start something and never finish it! Must be more committed to finishing products in one go!

I have one TA to report: Benefit BADgal Plum. This hadn't stopped working but I looked at the tube this morning and realised most of the writing had been rubbed off the outside of the tube, then thinking back realised it had been open for quite a while. I've had two on the go for about a year, and this was the second one to be thrown. On to no7 exceptional eyes mascara mini from the art deco freebie I had before Christmas, so far I'm really liking this even though I don't usually use black mascara.

As for the next bit, well I'm a bit undecided whether I am on the naughty step or whether I'm really a very good girl. OH and I had a wander around Hobbycraft today and I picked up a bath bomb kit for £10. Have so far made three bath bombs, have enough in the kit to make nine more. This included the moulds, fragrance oil, colours and pipette. Have also looked at some other recipes and plan on buying more citric acid, bicarb and also some epsom salts, and this will make the bath bombs cheaper again; my estimated costing looks like I'll be able to make these bombs at around 20p each in future.

This is bad because I have three Ins, but it's also good and very :money:. For £10 I can make 12 bath bombs, which even at lush's cheapest bomb is still a £14 saving. I can make natural bath products and use up a lot of the essential oils I have accumulated over the years. It also means I'm less likely to buy lush or other bath bombs in the future now I know how easy they are to make.

On a less successful note, after doing some reading I decided to use one of my bars of imperial leather soap (5 in stash) in to bubble bath/body wash. Decided to give a recipe a try but had no glycerine. I grated my soap and added it to hot water, stirred until melted. Added a bit of food colouring (tangerine) and left to cool. Went back and it looked somewhat like a more solid and opaque version of a lush shower jelly :rotfl::rotfl: whoops! Will have another try and see how I get on

Am trying to keep myself distracted, I feel really fluey and down today, have already had one big cry and so am doing things like this to try and buoy me up.

UU Nice n Easy Glossy blonde conditioner, got another two in the stash I do think its good stuff and makes my hair really soft.

That's brilliant news about your brother, maddiemay! :T

Just been to see the Les Miserables movie, really enjoyed it but it made me cry, as I thought it would! Have had a reasonably good weekend, with no toiletry ins.

For those interested in the Micro Pedi, I got mine when it was one of the Lightning Deals on Amazon before Christmas. Maybe it'll come up again - a lot of the deals do. Mine was only about £25.

Sounds ummm experimental but could be fun, hope you feel better soon.

1 UU to report so far this month which is a LHJ from the Makeup stash. my beloved rimmel 16hr matte foundation has bit the dust, been looking for a replacement of this but i cant find it anywhere now am i to presume its been discontinued?

Oh well i guess im now on the hunt for a replacement from a different brand or im just going to have to lighten the previous bought mistakes with some face cream.

Two Ins purchased from Boots today. I went for the recommended maybelline BB cream and as they had buy one get second product half price, I replaced the dream blush that I love. My current one is spluttering so good timing on the offer for me. Looking forward to trying the BB cream tomorrow. Never used one.

No UUs over the weekend.

Hi all I have quite a few splutterers so am hoping for some UUs soon, I see lots of you cut things open... How do you do this?! May sound silly but I don't know which end to cut lol! :$

Not up with the abbreviations yet but it's bathroom cupboard cleaning day. I am going to throw away a big tresemme deep cleaning shampoo. I was given it by MIL who couldn't get on with it and neither can we. It's too 'stripping'.

That leaves a little of pantene for me which will need replacing. The girls still have enough of their VO5 beyond blonde. Hate wastage but seriously cannot use that stuff.

I see Superdrug have free delivery so I will look for shampoo special offers later
