    1 UU, a Zoya Nail polish, plus I received my Birchbox, but have tried the eyeliner I got in there. Everything else will go in my hatbox for travelling so not counting at the moment. I may go through that hatbox later though.

    A total of 1 IN, and 2 UU then.

    Some INs and some OUTs...first the OUTs

    17 - little ones Sainsbury's baby oil. OK, but smelt synthetic. I suppose it was really. I think we got this to smooth out a car steering wheel. Hmm. WNBA.
    18 - Sample of green people gentle cleanse and make up remover. Lovely and thick, almost like moisturiser, but smelt strongly of rose and I don't get on with strong rose smells. WNBA.
    19 - 1/2 size they're real benefit mascara...found in a hand bag so I'm chucking it! I'm currently using a full size one, it's gorgeous. WBA!
    20 - sample size it's potent benefit eye cream. Nice, but I don't really uderstand why I need an eyecream...if anyone can shine a light on this I'd be grateful. :undecided

    Now then, INs...all magazine freebies. :o

    1 - Percy and reed conditioner (with glamour)
    2 - Percy and reed shampoo (with glamour)
    I've tried these before and I love them...but I do have lots hair things...
    3 - neals yard hand cream (with Marie Claire)
    Love neals yard but have lots of hand cream...oh dear :doh:

    I spent quite a lot of time holding Glamour yesterday with the hair oil in it after everyone has been raving about it. But I am very proud to say I walked away without buying - yay me!

    UU Sanctuary body butter - loved this, very light but still very moisturising - and I love the smell - WBA (not that I ever need to buy body butters again!)

    Yay for restraint, I too have picked up the various magazines, thought, then rejected, also today went to the big(ish) town and managed to walk past Body Shop, even though I had a code for £3 off from MSE. And I looked at all the nail polish in TK*ax without being tempted. Not so good on other fronts though, took delivery today of a beautiful cashmere jumper bought S/H from a blog sale and have just collected my first ever smartphone, can anyone lend me a 4 year old for a few days to get it all up and running please:rotfl:

    I just used up the last of one of my skin care lotion.
    I think my skin care lotion & moisturizer would only really be the INs i myself will buy during this challenge, because i need it for my skin problems & it does the trick.

    What skin care do you use?

    I'm always interested in what other people use, especially if it works. ;)

    Newspapers have reported Justin Bieber has vowed never to come back to the UK after his recent tour, so we take your apology and return your goods as faulty ;)

    The skin around the eyes is very delicate and prone to showing signs of ageing, I personally use eye gels (creams make my eyes sore) because the skin around my eyes feels sore sometimes and I like the cooling effect.
