    Morning all.

    I have a uu

    Gum Double Cream Shampoo.

    I have replaced it and the HE Volume conditioner I was using with it with Percy & Reed shampoo and conditioner from the Glamour mag freebie last year. I will use up the rest of the HE conditioner later on although I would have liked to see that massive bottle go into the recycling bag.

    Josslette - your makeup tray looks nice, I have the UD Naked basics pallette and really like it.

    Today my eye makeup consists of, Benefit Lemon Aid, Benefit Creasless Cream in Bunny Hop (peachy champagne colour), UD walk of shame and naked to blend bunny hop into the crease and finally a touch of UD Flirt at the outer corner. Topped off with gosh brow pen, Mirinesse mascara and rimmel scandaleyes eyeliner in bronze.

    Have a good day all, I am taking the kids to York today to visit the York Castle museum, the minster and a bit of shopping (not for me obviously).

    No naught step for me, I decided not to buy the Bare Minerals set, but to wait until I can get to a retailer for a proper colour match.

    Painted my toenails on Sunday OPI Red y for anything, look lovely, but not having any success today with my finger nails, started with OPI Live and Let Die, but I applied it so badly, it really seemed to pool, so took it off again, now wearing Leighton Denny Supermodel, but my application was not really good enough, so when I get back from Physio appointment might have to start again:eek:

    No UU but have repainted my toes with OPI Lincoln Park After Dark topped with Dollish Polish Vampires Coven.

    Any recommendations for polish thinner ladies as my aged OPI was a little gloopy.

    Hi moneyless mac I use the OPI one. Can't comment on whether it beats any others as I haven't tried others but it works a treat on my Nail Envy when I pour it into that.

    Have a lovely time. We visited the Castle Museum in December and it was lovely seeing the street and rooms decked out in Christmas decorations. Let me know if they are doing anything seasonal at the mo.

    I love LIve and Let Die and Nein Nein Nein colours. Supermodel is a good one to fall back on though as well. My nail colour is actually staying put quite well this week. Mindyou I applied three coats so maybe this is what it takes. It's just having the time and patience isn't it?
    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!

    I've got a bar of this and I have noticed that it looks a bit like a brick before I've got anywhere near using it. I have the same plans for it as I had for my Clinique facial soap - a sharp, large knife and some patience to cut it in half.
    I have a l'occitane soap (250g) and will definitely need to cut it. I tend to heat the knife in boiling water first then dry it off on some kitchen roll, this help the knife go through harder soaps. I change my soap in the bathroom on a weekly basis (mostly lush) and cut them to last a week, I get very bored with using the same soap.

    I have been a good girl and resisted resubbing to Birchbox after I had an email to get 5 editors picks free.:T

    Neutrogena concentrated hand cream, to friend with really dry chapped hands.

    OUTS
    21 items ebay, a few more to go if they pay. Some were sets or mixed I have counted each product individually.

    VALM - the museum had been doing Easter trails but they have finished now so it was just the normal exhibition with the toy exhibits too. We didn't get round it all so will go back later in the year and do the rest.

    Avoided all the shops that might tempt me so day 3 of my challenge succesfully completed.

    Veet Spray on hair removal cream 150ml - WDBA, it's an HG product of mine, makes doing my legs soooooo easy!
    :

    Intrigued with Veet being a HG, can I ask how you use it? Ive always been very disappointed with hair removal creams, never had much success and the smell of the cream put me off :(
    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.

    Another UU for me today:

    Avon Morroccan Argan Oil leave in hair treatment. WNBA, it's not designed for fine hair, so I could only use it before bed. It was used up very quickly though (which I didn't mind since I really wanted rid of it).

    I have a few things getting low but probably won't have any more UUs for another couple of weeks. I'm giving it a real push, especially on my endless moisturiser collection!
