Yes and I got it working, only for the site to go down, now I log in and the eye make-up remover is OOS :cool:, I wanted that and the cleansing oil and I don't want to place an order just for the sake of it so only want things I don't already have loads of, fingers crossed it comes back in stock soon!

Argh no, I was the same in that I didn't want to buy things I didn't need for the sake of it, which is why I bought 2 removers - but I now feel incredibly guilty that it was OOS for you. Sorry!

Planned use ups. (Project Pan?) I really must use up my Lush Seanik solid shampoo. I just did a thread search to see when I bought it and it was October 2011.
I do like solid shampoos, but I am in a bit of a huff with Lush. They won't miss a fiver or two from me when it's gone. About half the bar has gone so far. It is a good shampoo but two years suggests I've not used it as often as I should have.

Must use up 2 is the mix of aqueous cream and body whip I put together from two unloved pots, to use on my feet.
The body whip is another of that blasted Avon pearlised stuff I keep muttering about, it still looks pearly even after mixing. Keeping it just for my feet stops that pearly sheen getting on everything.

Must use up 3 - half a bottle of OS orange and cinnamon shower gel. It was bought reduced out of season as it's a winter fragrance. I bought the 400ml Avon cranberry and cinnamon when it was vastly reduced as my Christmassy shower gel, so won't be using the OS one in season.

Must use up 4. The Andrew Collinge SLS free conditioners I got from £land in March. About half a colour therapy one and a near full volume therapy.
Right that's it down in writing.
Good.

It's alright, I'll forgive you in time

I did order in the end, got the spin-on lip balm stuff and the cleansing oil. I now have my eye on other stuff to make up the order if the eye stuff comes back in....whoops!

I noticed you mention you were using SLS free conditioner - wanted to warn you that lush solid shampoos are not SLS free. Every single one of them contains sulfate.

L'occitane Verbena Bonne Mere Soap - WNBA, OK but towards the end it stopped lathering up. Have replaced it with their Honeysuckle Bonne Mere Soap.

10. Various vitamins and supplements - I don't declare these on this challenge, but I have about 8 different supplements taking up quite a bit of room. Various products I picked up because I had seen someone recommending them for helping with skin problems, but they didn't work. I don't want to bin them, so I'm trying to use them. When they're gone, I'll probably buy the fish oil again, but that's about it.

I've found flaxseed amazing. Sorts out my spots (hormonal) and eczema too...lots of vit. E in them.

Small UU of Angel Hair Perfume sample. The actual perfume smells horrible on me but this was actually really nice, how odd. Almost finished my last big bottle of snow fairy too, probably 1-2 showers left in it.:(

Thanks Mini. I like the SLS-free stuff but it's not essential that I use it, thankfully. I've never had any reactions, well, not that I'm aware of. I do like EverPure shampoo; so might get that as I will finish up an SLS containing shampoo soon, it would make sense to use both SLS free products together; I have a couple of sachets of the Ever Riche shampoo as well that I keep meaning to use.

Sounds like nothing about this is nice! I'd ditch it if it were me! :P

the only good bit is the packaging! its a sort of built in brush dispenser but unlike the bare minerals version, it doesn't leak everywhere!
