    Just painted my nails and used my new essie top coat, it was really thick so took a bit of getting used to, but seems ok now it's dry... fingers crossed it helps my polish last a bit longer :)

    What do you guys do when your nail polish goes gloopy?

  • Have some more UU
    6. Daughters mouthwash WBA she seems to like the flavour.
    7. Mouthwash - WBA.
    8. Cotton Buds WBA

    I dont have many splutterers at the minute but am pleased to declare my soap and glory clean on me is almost finished. (this has been helped on its way by my DD)

    I also have a l'occitane free hand cream voucher which I can forward to anyone who can use it (I didnt read it properly and thought it was a postal offer and unfortunately I dont live near a shop)


    Voucher is now gone.
    No more buying toiletries

    Did quite well today! Had some UU's.

    2. Body Shop Spiced vanilla body lotion - smells gorgeous but WNBA as I didn't find it very moisturising.
    3. Sanex deodorant - tbh I just purchase whatever deodorant is on sale, but WBA.
    4. Soap and Glory Scrub Em and Leave Em mini - Not my favourite of their scrubs but WBA if on offer!

    Had a TA - Revlon base coat - was a tiny bit left in the bottle but was difficult to get out and it had started getting a bit sticky.
    and a GA - D&G Light Blue perfume - it's just not my cup of tea!

    BUT had 4 INS! :(
    2 were mini So perfumes that my mum gave me as she's trying to reduce her stash (by making mine bigger!) and tbh they're really nice!
    And a package arrived today with some Revlon Colorstay foundation (not a patch on my beloved HG Doublewear :( ! ) and a Decleor eye mask! BUT I ordered these on the 31st of Jan so I'm being sneaky and not counting them :D

    Hope everyone's doing well!

    These look gorgeous i had one in my shopping basket but was good and clicked off the page as I rarely wear eye shadow and still have UD naked 2. Doesnt stop me drooling though!

    Wow I am also jealous - love those palettes and have been very tempted myself. I never seem to UU make up and need to go through my stash. Must have products that are at least 10 years old :eek:
    Voucher is now gone.

    I am a bit confused with regards to the L'Occitane voucher. The nearest one to me is a wholesaler as opposed to a boutique. Does anyone know if I can claim from there? It comes up when I search on the website.

    I have a UU today:
    15: L'Occitane Fleur Cherie Hand Cream 30ml - WBA, hopefully will be when I claim my freebie!! This was originally a freebie in a magazine and really love the scent
  • I have three UUs today:

    Home made bath bomb - blue original - yes I used one of the bathbombs I made! It was made yesterday with the fragrance oil from the pack so not v strong, but fizzed nicely, turned the bathwater a lovely shade of blue. Can't wait to make more with essential oils!


    Barry M liquid eyeliner purple

    This has been in the stash a long time. As the brush is quite firm I found the product would pool around where I was drawing, giving a double line effect. Fine for the price but I adore my Bobbi Brown liners and would prefer these any day even at the much higher price.

    Massage base oil 50ml. This was from a Boots aromatherapy kit OH bought 3 years ago I believe. I used this to mix up a eucalyptus, rosemary and tea tree body oil. WBA but tend to buy the larger plastic bottles, I have kept the bottle from this as it's a nice dark brown glass bottle and can be used to mix blends.

    I have spent the evening primping. I feel fluey but have been told I have to have my picture taken for a work thingie tomorrow so trying to look half human.

    A UU - S&G Flake Away, think I reported it almost UU in December but then had misplaced it found it again yesterday with 1 more use in it.
    I don't mind it but know a lot of people on here don't, I do have a couple more to use up anyway first.
    It's wild outside, hope everyone is keeping warm :)
    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

    Hi Rosemary only liquids need to go in bag so eyepencil will be ok.

    Naughty, naughty SJ! I have 3 ins to declare! 50mls dkny delicious Paris edition A Nivea roll on deo (25% off boots voucher) and philosophy Christmas cookie, which FINALLY went half price in boots (I had some love to shop vouchers to spend) I did restrain myself as I wanted to buy s&g sugar crush wash, scrub and butter on 3 for 2 as I ADORE the scent but it's almost always on a 3 for 2 anyway so I will get some when my stash has been run down a bit
