Ooon so need me more snow fairy and mine only ran out a month ago:eek: only brought 2 bottles in the sale last year too:money:

A UU Skin Therapy Sensitive sun lotion and no it wasn't sunny here, it was meant to be so I applied the last dregs to any bit of skin that might see some sun! WBA this is my favorite except Loreal which costs a fortune, rubs in well and doesn't sting my skin.

Ops just ordered me the 2 steamcreams for 12.95 on the Grabbit Board, obviously not INs yet but I really didn't need them but love this as its so multi use and great for nights away to cut down on products:money:

Tossed out a Cargo "almost waterproof" mascara. I think it was making my eyelashes fall out. OK, I just didn't like it. Replaced from the never ending stash of mascaras.

Failed miserably at Sephora today. Went in to treat the son's gf to a new blusher to cheer her up and left with two Clinque Christmas sets, the black honey one and a set of two chubby sticks. They could be used as Christmas gifts...

I think that I have managed to convince myself:rotfl:, I would use everything in this set apart from the Eyebright, which I get a reaction from, BUT would not even start using any of it until at least 2015:eek:, so bearing in mind Christmas is on the way and toiletries might come my way I am being strong!

I wasn't even aware of this kit until this morning so maybe that's a good thing as this is the kind of kit I would have bought. Love all the items in it apart from the Eyebright but would have used this in any case. Thing is that I've been receiving emails from LE recently offering free p&p but haven't ordered cos we have plenty of C&P, probably enough IBST to last until Christmas and a tub of Skin Repair unopened (Emma "gifted" to me two moisturisers recently that I'll use as night creams before I open it anyway). So maybe my head is back in this challenge??

Even the YC TSV has left me feeling underwhelmed. I've got into the habit of writing on my new calendar each year on the December page what stash of YC I have put in the loft so will check this before I buy anything but must try not to watch. Do want to scrub the bathroom down today though so that should keep me occupied and away from the TV.

So have another UU to report : Champneys citrus blush hand lotion. WBA. It was lovely although I do prefer Molten Brown White Mulberry and am going to buy a bottle of this when I need a new hand cream/lotion at home which may be soon as I've now brought my L'occitane Lavender hand cream home. It's now rolled up in a L'Occitane key so won't be long before it's gone. I went through my stash yesterday morning to replace the hand cream at work and only have one bottle of Elemis Nourishing Hand cream left which again I'm pleased about as the stash has kept me going all year with the odd supplementation from L'occitane mag/instore freebies. Do have some mini tubes left but want to keep them for either stocking fillers or for my handbag.

Have some INs to report as well:-

Was wandering through Stockport yesterday and had one of those real angel/demon moments whilst passing TBS. I'm sorry but can anyone seriously not consider buying a 200ml tub of body butter reduced from £12.00 to a fiver?? Sometimes I can as the fragrances are usually ones I wouldn't use but yesterday they had added the Chocomania one to the sale so bought one of those. I did battle with my conscience a little trying to reason that I do have two x 200ml tubs in my stash plus a full set of Boots Extracts mini tubs. I ended up justifying it to the SA that I was buying it for Emma. Who am I kidding? I am nearly at the bottom of the Honeymania one though.

Also I was at the hairdressers on Thursday having my colour redone and have ordered a bottle of restorer and thermal spray from him which I'll pick up this week. Think I need to ditch most of the products I've been putting in my hair as it has gone really wiry and fuzzy again.

Last but not least my best wishes to Sundaysgirl and her partner. Enjoy your pyjama day. Not sure that I want to get dressed today either. Not going anywhere so maybe I won't.

Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Sundaysgirl, hope your OH is OK, and they figured out what was wrong with him!

OUT - face wipes
IN - face wipesx2

I was hoping I had just enough for a long weekend, and hoped to get away without replacing them, but that would have been too convenient.

Hope your OH is feeling better today Sundaysgirl.

We had a very early start this morning by an excited DD as its her birthday. I am trying to summon some energy to endure the noise from the party at 4.

UU

Ultradex Mouthwash - WNBA - came with a flavour sachet that I had to be added, despite shaking before each use the flavour sank to the bottom so really only had a mint taste for the last mouthful.

Essential care face wash mini - DD used this was OK but nothing special and the fragrance wasnt very pleasant.

Clarins everlasting foundation nude - WMBA this was a good colour match for my skin and provided good coverage without the mask effect of EL double wear. Did occasionally settle in creases however. I have a part used Clarins extra firming in the same shade so will try this next to see if I prefer it.

Ins:
Philosophy granny's apply pie shower gel
Philosophy raspberry glazed shower gel
No excuse I just wanted to try philosophy shower gel.

Hi all.

Have returned from a weekend away a day earlier because of the impending storm. We were caravanning and I didn't fancy staying over in the storm then driving home in gales tomorrow. Shame as it was the last trip away for this year.

Had a uu

No7 4 in 1 Wipes - I only use these when away from home as a first cleanse but WBA for that purpose.
