Todays UU

Sure max protection cream deo - WBA HG have replaced with same.

50ml Nivea soft cream - WNBA used this as a body moisturiser (think it can be used everywhere) it was OK but didnt WOW.

Mouthwash


In
50ml Nails inc handcream which was a GWP - donated to the communal sink at work so that it gets UU.

And now for the ins:

9 Boots cotton wool pads
4 Tampax
3 Boots Smile 6+ toothpaste

2 x Lancome mascara gift sets (these are for Xmas presents but will count as outs when they go in December)(3 items in each)

Large Lancome gift set (13 items - some will be used, some gifted)

2 x Lancome bifacial (1 purchased 1 a free gift)

8 Lancome further GWP items

Guerlain la petite robe noire mini perfume & body lotion - another surprise free gift.

So overall not a great start to the month.

'Evening all, I have 1 UU to report - Nurture 3 in 1 Cleansing Wipes. WBA as they are the only ones that don't make my eyes tear and work well. I know wipes arn't so good for the skin, but some nights I just wouldn't take off my makeup at all if not for wipes!

TA: Lancome Juicy Tube clear. Very old GWA that went quite nasty.

Went to the V&A to the Pearls exhibition today. Some really fab jewels as well as some amazingly ugly tiaras. I was with my sister who is 9 years younger and got chatting with a lady who thought my sis was my daughter !! Will definitely have to work harder on the skin regime!

No, I stayed strong and didn't buy the LD TSV, although I do like a lot of his colours and they cover well and stay on my nails. However, I did buy Zoya Pixie Dust in Chita, forest green with silver sparkles and a textured finish, also Zoya Remove+ in a dispenser, as my remover dispenser is giving up the ghost and spitting remover out in all directions.

Do you find that most OPI colours give the bottle colour in two coats, this is the one thing I really like about LD and Nails Inc, whereby a lot of my older OPI and some Essie do not and it really winds me up:mad:

I think I am aiming for similar numbers to you, but it will be a long time before I get there in some areas:eek:

First in of the month. The Dior Secret Admirer box arrived.

It's awesome this month if you are a nail person. The Diorific Vernis Jewel manicure Duo. Beautiful presentation but wasted on me. I think it will be a Christmas present, if I can figure out who would appreciate it!

I am back in again...a bit late this month. That's for starting us off again Sundaysgirl.

Managed to UU 4 of my project pan in October. Will need to add some more to my list to target.

Not planning on any INs this month as I'm not running short on anything. The GWP in the mags aren't even tempting me :A

Welcome newbies :hello:

Very well! I shall be patient as a newbie ... and when the time comes such that I can post pics with abandon, I will do just that!

In the meantime ... I'm enjoying reading all the posts

I'm pretty close to using up a couple of my items ... so I'll post my successes as they occur.

I often find decluttering and organizing to be stressful .... thanks for making it fun in this forum. Woo hoo!

I've finally finished it! That disgusting lavender body balm :T Hope no-one buys me any more for xmas:rotfl:

A good friend gave me some of that one year, it was awful, like every other Bayliss & Harding product I've used.
Beautifully packaged, rubbish contents. Sums it all up.
Not only that, the person who gave it to me has virtually no disposable income and was thrilled to give me what she thought was a quality gift . Style over substance with that company.

Enuff moaning.
Picked up a new Renew serum from A!di and happened to glance at the back of the cardboard box containing the Aqua serum, which I've been using for the last 4-5 months. It is for age 25-35 apparently, but it seemed to suit me fine. The Renew is for younger skin than mine too, but I often find creams for mature skin too heavy for me. Plus they'd sold out of the Restorative again. DD tells me it's a massive seller.

An unexpected IN - I bought a bottle of the A!di Age Defying Body Lotion half price with a voucher (500 ml for 69p!) thinking a friend might like it, but she is swamped with lotion it seems. So I now have enough lotion for goodness knows how long.

sorry no idea when they reduce this juts remember buying 3 last year because they did!(but still got lots of stuff left so probabaly not a good idea and many of the things are in this one too!)

had a lovely time at the spa on the dry floatation bed wrapped up in a rose hydrating wrap:):):):):):)so relaxing......just had to buy some Clarins as a box of stuff I use was on special at £60 for £98 worth!!!(still only 4 items so not cheap but I use daily and as I had paid for the weekend for DH as well thought I deserved a treat.
wedding from heel at our hotel ended up with 2 ambulances and 3 police cars!!!!we arrived after the emergency services and ended up getting a free half bottle of wine off the manager:)felt sorry for the bride as one of her bridesmaid daughters ended up in a police cell for the night:eek:

oh well off to work now:(

Welcome newbies :hello:

I can't take the credit - maddiemay kindly started us this month

Lots of us not planning any ins this month - I think it's because we know how naughty we're going to be next month and are trying to atone for our sins ahead of time... or is that just me?!

Morning ladies.

Have a uu

Elemis Tranquil touch Body Wash - 50ml, I think I have more of these in the stash to use before I rush out for more. Very nice and I will enjoy using the others.

Also have two copies of Glamour so have ins of the red and silver Nails Inc polishes.

Rosemary - :eek: to the wedding.
