    Have another couple of uu

    Elemis Pro Collagen Lifting Concentrate - 15ml, this is nice and smells of violets but I WNBA as it will be expensive and I don't think creams firm the skin particularly.

    Bare Minerals Original in Light - 2g. This is one of my project pan items. WBA but not in this colour it is too yellow for me so I have to mix it with Fair. Have another this size in the stash to use up though.

    I will have some INs to report, but luckily not too many as people know me well enough to know I have loads already! :rotfl:
    I will also need to go shopping for a foundation because my sister lent me hers whilst she was staying and it was SOOOOOO much better on my skin tha any I have so I will be buying one soon.
    Few UUs also to declare but I need to work through my stash list and previous posts again to work out what I haven't declared. I kept a note but now I can't remember what I have declared or not :D
    Gosh I need to sell some stashed bits, I keep putting it off though cuz it takes effort!
    Can someone add me to the faceboom swap page too? Who do I need to PM?

    PM me your email address and I'll send you an invite:)

    UU for me Timotei vivid colour shampoo, onto my last bottle and still OOS in the £1/99p shop grrr I don't want to have to pay full price:eek:
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    I have read it, it's quite an eye opener.

    I'm not trying to discourage you all from buying Lush but it's made me think twice.

    Earlier link to blog about Lush didn't work for me, but scroll down and look for the blog entry headed "The Smell of ".

    I mentioned that I'd had some goodies to review from Am@zon.

    Straighteners - now have a 2nd pair!

    Hairdryer
    I've given honest opinions of both.
    I managed to avoid the temptation of shampoo and conditioner that Am@zon offered last week. We have a new guitar tuner instead... :D Some Avon is due, but still hasn't arrived.

    Rosemary, I am so sorry things have gone down again, been there, it's not the best way to lose weight at all.
    Enjoy all your treats and putting together a newer you.

    Liz Earl hand repair cream -WNBA wasn't very impressed with it. Also didn't like the smell.

    No, I don't like the smell of this either and I think it has white clay in which makes it flake off my hands whenever I apply it. Had a nosey through my stash yesterday for hand creams and have a tube of this in there. Not just a travel sized either so maybe I will gift it to someone for Secret Santa or add it to my friend's little hamper that I always put together. Do this for my sister as well but I have a feeling that she bought me this last Christmas. Other than that I only have small tubes of L'Occitane hand creams in the stash and they are smaller than the freebie ones so looks like I NEED to buy some new handcream. Will have a shop around online at lunch for some Molten Brown White Mulberry. Have a UU in the form of my L'Occitane Lavender and WBA as I love this one. I prefer to have a pump bottle of lotion on the go downstairs though as I rub it into MrM's feet at night. Otherwise, I would go through all the little tubes I have in no time.

    So 2 items down in my current Project Pan list and only 3 days left this month.

    Emma let me use a couple of items from the current Birchbox last night and I am pretty impressed by them. Not sure if anyone has published the contents of the box on here yet so I won't mention them specifically only to say one was a face mask and the other a lip balm.

    Have earmarked this to read later.
    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!
