Lush. Christmas. Deep breathe. So. Pretty. More breathing...

Oooh looks like I might be getting even more handcreams then once I get hold of a mag. Like the sound of the jasmine.

I was thinking of becoming an Avon rep but tbh someone already has this area and I wouldn't want to nick her trade (she lives two streets away), plus I am fearful of getting involved in it all and ending up with an enlarged stash due to the discounts/perks you are likely to get! :eek: :eek: :eek:

That and I don't know if I can be arsed lol!

I've been resisting very very hard this week and so far so good, no ins apart from the Luna Mini which is genius - skin feeling loads better, firm, smooth, pores decreasing in size after just two days.
UUs to report Prada Orange special edition - a few years old and not my favourite so WNBA.
dHC Deep Cleansing Oil sample - very greasy, not the best, WNBA.

I walked into Lush ealier today to here " we were waiting for you to arrive, we have been taking bets" from the manager. I have no idea how they know me!

That sounds pretty rude! :eek: If you're such a regular, why don't the chat to you and know who you are?

I was a little bit naughty - I picked up some magazines today:
Ren Global protection day cream
Ren Active Eye Gel
Ren Gentle Cleansing Milk
Eyeliner from Glamour (can't find it to say the brand)
Maybelline foundation sachet

I also know I have a Glossybox on its way, but I'd better not buy anything else this month! I'm working hard to get through a few extra bits, as my stash is running up quite badly!

Back again like the proverbial bad penny :P

Just another UU To report - Dolce & Gabbana Sicily Body lotion 50ml - WNBA, was glad to get to the end of it to be honest! was part of a gift set, and I've had it for AGES, so I set my mind to using it up so i didn't have to keep seeing it lol. (I had no one who would've wanted it, and I'd feel bad giving away something I hated myself, but waste not want not et al) The shower gel is spluttering too so hopefully that will be a UU this week too.

Shower gels and body lotions are easy enough to use even if you don't like them, but what the hell do I do with the perfume? I keep trying it sporadically to see if I've changed my mind, but no. I'd feel bad for throwing it away, I don't really want to give someone an opened bottle of perfume, and I don't like giving perfume as presents anyway unless I already know it's one they love, so.. suggestions? It's not like you can repurpose it!

You can, as room spray, or....

1. Some charities take used perfume, don't know why, maybe they resell it?
2. Ebay it
3. If you really can't shift it either of these ways, freecycle is always better than adding to landfill

Oh dear! Some more INs for me............

Bought Marie Claire so....

L'Occitane Rose Hand Cream 30ml - IN
(Resisting the urge to get all 4 scents, this is my first tube of their hand cream and I already have 2 I love (Sanctuary one and Nelson's calendula cream) so I'll wait and see what I think.)
L'Oreal EverRiche Shampoo 10ml - IN
Not counting the cocoa butter sachet as I'm ebaying that.

Also 2 INStyle magazines...

2 x REN Evercalm Day Cream 10ml
2 x REN Active 7 Eye Gel 3ml
2 x REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk 10ml

I bought a third as a bday present, I only ever get her a silly cheap pressie so this fits the bill nicely!

...and I stopped by TKMaxx, got some lovely Korres make-up for £7.99 when it's worth about £30 in total, very pleased with that! Also some nice scalp stuff for £2.99 down from £9.65. I get an irritated scalp often enough to need something to calm the itching, they're 8 sealed bottles so perfect to take away, at the moment I only have a heavy glass bottle of some herbal stuff!

Korres Raspberry Liquid Lipstick - Natural - IN
Korres Abyssinia Oil Mascara - Plum - IN
Clynol Aloe Sensitive Scalp Serum 7ml x 8 - IN

I had never thought to freecycle perfume I don't like, but that's a really good idea! I stick my unwanted perfumes/body sprays in the communal bathroom as air freshener. I had one housemate who would get through a bottle in no time!

Nice!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I freecycle every bit of old junk I own, someone always wants it, no matter what it is! I hate throwing things away when others could make use of it so it's perfect for me
