Hello all!

Sorry only skim-reading so I hope everyone's well?

I have just had the BEST present through the post!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D

Boots sent me an e-mail a few weeks back inviting me - as one of their top reviewers - to be part of their Christmas Review Panel....and the box of treats has just arrived! I am so happy I could cry!!!!!

In order of opening, my new NBIs are......

BareMinerals Mineral Veil 9g
No7 Gel Shine Nail Polish 10ml in Galaxy
Benefit The PoreFessional 22ml
No7 Instant Radiance Highlighter 5.5g

....and then I LOST MY MIND at the next one, I actually cried, how sad is that?

I got.........YSL!!!!!!!! I still can't get over that!!!

So the rest is....

YSL Babydoll False Lash Effect Mascara 5ml in Fetish Black
No7 Stay Perfect Shade & Define Pencil 1.4g in Black Shimmer
BareMinerals Powder Brush

Sorry for being so dramatic but I NEVER get any really good surprises really, so I am just so touched to have been chosen to get all these goodies and so happy *sniff*

What a lovely package kadison. Am a little jealous.

Time to declare 6 IN's from my Elemis Set:), makes rather a mess of my stats for this month, but as VALM said "it would have been rude not to" :rotfl:

Shh I might end up getting blacklisted for enabling. My packages have arrived from the Q but are going to Santa even thought I've told MrM that I should open at least one of them to check that the contents are intact. :rotfl:

VALM - maybe I've just been unlucky but all the other PCMC GWPs I've had have been 15ml rather than 30ml?!

Not sure about the size as I don't have any in my stash at the mo but if you got 30mls that's a bonus then.

Afternoon ladies. Time to confess to the INS from my REN order -

75 - REN Clarifying Clay Cleanser 200ml
76 - REN Resurfacing AHA Concentrate 30ml
77 - REN Glycolactic Radiance Renewal Mask 5ml
78 - REN Hyrdra-calm Global Protection Day Cream 5ml

The 2 5ml ones were GWPs. I am really excited to try these products as have heard so many rave reviews. I've never used an 'exfoliating toner' before so am particularly excited about that.

Plus I don't feel too guilty, ok maybe just a little bit, as I don't have any cleanser or toner in the stash anymore and am about to run out of the ones I am currently using. Plus I used a 20% discount and the cleanser comes with 33% extra free. These are a lot more expensive than what I would usually use but I am hoping that I will be able to see a difference.

I use the Clay Cleanser and it is lovely, I apply it like a mask then leave for a few minutes then add water and massage. I am using the Hydra Calm cream at the moment and it has performed a minor miracle on my very grumpy skin.

My REN order also arrived today.
I also ordered the Clarifying Cleanser 200ml but won't be declaring it as an "IN" as it is for my son and not for me.
I shall declare the GWPs, though...
IN
No 1 Purity Cleansing Balm 5ml
Hydra-calm Global Protection Day Cream 5ml

I am proud of myself as usually I would have made up the order to avoid paying P&P but I didn't need anything so the 20% off covered the postage charge.

Today I went to M&S and was just browsing the REN in their beauty department. . There were no offers on so I didn't intend to buy BUT I didn't realise that they gave out samples!!
So 2 more INs to declare...

REN T-zone Balancing Day fluid 5ml
REN Micro Polish Cleanser 5ml

Fifth, and final IN

Gucci Guilty for her (sachet) - just a sample I sent for.

So 5 small INs which were all free, and 1 out listed below...

REN Vita Mineral Active 7 Eye Gel 3ml - WNBA - this was a magazine freebie. It was okay, nothing special.

Off to update my list and sig.

I love the Hydra-calm cleanser but not tried the moisturiser. It's on my list to try when I've used up my stash.

Just a heads up, the Hydra-calm cleanser has been renamed to Ever-calm cleanser. When I received an order a few weeks ago I thought they'd sent the wrong one! I'm not sure if the entire range of Hydra-calm has been renamed though, but I should imagine it probably has. Worth noting to buy the Ever-calm packaging as it will be newer stock.

Been strong this, resisted Body Shop offer so can only report very boring outs this week:

1 x Dove moisturising deodorant spray
1 x Sure Crystal deodorant spray
1 x Body Shop Hemp hand cream
Pack of Always

Ordered a Razorpit yesterday so I guess that's something to look forward to!

How jealous am I, kadison?! I would love everythin in your list! Clutterfree, yes I've had Nuxe and REN samples from M&S. Saving the REN to pack for my Xmas visits.

1 small UU - 15ml. Templespa skin truffle. Was OK, but soo expensive. WNBA.

2 INs: amie face wipes. Saw these in Waitrose and noticed the ingredients seem quite natural, so wanted to see if they're as good as others.

AND

Orly nail varnish in "It's Up To Blue". My bellydance class is doing a performance on Sunday and we were all issued with this turquoise colour to match our costumes. Normally would pass blues on to my daughter, but better keep this for future performances! Bit peeved as had just done my nails, and will have to take it all off!

I also bought 3 Lanolips tubes in Rhubarb, but they're for Xmas stocking fillers, so not counting them

So long, ladies, off to look for the varnish remover...

Just UU

183 - Melting snowman bath melt - WNBA, decided to put the whole thing in the bath (minus the small bit I broke off and used the other day) as it didn't seem to do much if only a small bit was used, unlike with the bubble bars. Smelt lovely but much prefer the bubble bars. Did look very cute though.

Got 2 things spluttering which just seem to be endless!

Morning all!

Clicked on the QVC Christmas weekend items and wondered if this would interest any of you?

http://www.qvcuk.com/Tabletop-Spinning-Cosmetic-Organiser-by-Lori-Greiner.product.759257.html

I would love one if it were big enough for all my various bottles as opposed to one for cosmetics as my make-up is already nicely organised.

I also use this inside one of my dresser drawers for things like nail files, hair grips etc....(mine's hot pink though)

What do other people store their stuff in? My bathroom stuff is in a plastic 4-drawer unit and my 'not yet in use' stuff is in those black and grey folding crates.

I have 8 OUTs to report (which I'm just deleting from my stash list as they were only INs a couple of weeks ago!). As predicted, useless Debenhams never sent my free gift and still haven't responded to my e-mails so they are having the two Lancome sets back!

2 x Lancôme Advanced Genifique Serum 7ml
2 x Lancôme Dreamtone - Fair 01 40ml
2 x Lancôme Genifique Eye Light Pearl 5ml
2 x Lancôme Visionnaire Serum 7ml

I hardly needed them but it was a good deal, never mind, they can have them back with good riddance, can't believe how carp Debenhams are! :eek:

And some more UUs.....

Dentyl Mouthwash Icy Fresh Mint 500ml - HG brand
Nad's Eyebrow shaper pen 6g - WBA if on half price offer again, very easy to use and convenient
Nad's Nose wax 45g - Horrid, evil stuff, looking back I don't know why I bothered buying this and I won't EVER AGAIN! Expensive and so difficult to use.
National Trust Body Scrub - Rock Samphire & Driftwood 250ml - WNBA, not scrubby enough
Philosophy The Microdelivery Face Scrub 30ml - Very underwhelming, granules too small and didn't do anything much.
The Body Shop Natural Lip Roll On Mint 10ml - Doesn't moisturise and wears off very quickly so WNBA, nice flavour though!
Veet Spray on hair removal cream 150ml x 2 - HG, expensive but one can does my entire legs & bikini line in about 15 minutes from applying to showering off which is just brill
