    The directions I read on the REN website say you can either use it every day for a week and then have 2 weeks off before using again, or use every other night.



    Ooops I didn't know that! I think I mentioned earlier this month that I was moving onto REN after having finished up my Clarins, which I had been using most days at least once and sometimes twice. It's still early days I guess but I've been using REN for a couple weeks now and in my experience it doesn't appear to be quite so strong, certainly I have had no kind of tingling or stinging which I sometimes got with the Clarins.


    Of course we're all different but I've not noticed any remarkable effects from changing over.

    KT2802 - I think you need to stop using the REN product it can't be working for you.

    Asset - have a lovely holiday.

    Wondercollie - one day you will see a little glint of silver through your blusher, one day.

    Babafette and Kiwisaver - I am having a similar problem with some items on my Project Pan list! :( I'm trying my hardest, but it seems like the moisturisers just aren't reducing.

    Having said that, I have two UUs today! :j
    Well done VickyA, two full sized products from the stash is good going! I only seem to be managing to use sachets and small sample sizes so far.
    Hope you're all well. I'm ill so feeling sorry for myself and had a rare soak in a hot bath in a bid to feel better.
    I hope you're feeling a bit better today Sundaysgirl.

    And my lovely BF has also surprised me with a week's holiday, on Thursday. Eeek 2 days notice!! :cool: a nice generous thought but also a bit stressful to try and get everything organised quickly.
    What a lovely thought. Where are you going? I hope you have a wonderful time. :)
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Probably won't be back on here before Christmas but I really hope everyone has a lovely time. Thanks again for everyones kind messages xx:A
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Oh Hoooraaaaay Asset I am so pleased you are having a lovely treat, what a fab idea. I hope you have a great time :j You really deserve it after everything.

    Project pan is slowly getting there but I FEEL YOUR PAIN guys!! Don't forget that is why we have these things on there as we know they are probably LHJs or things that have been hanging around for ages :D

    We can do it! *gets into a 'dig for victory pose'*

    I too really want some of the BS ginger range, don't think I should though, maybe next Christmas as I might be a graduate by then :rotfl:

    Today I have some UUs:
    Lush pop in the bath bubble bar-lovely and WBA
    Lush Sakura BBomb-WDBA my fave, apparently these are coming back...who knew??!!

    AAaaaaaand a REALLY exciting in for me:
    Lush Avowash shower gel from fleabay, only released as a 1 day special in America, yum!
    Need to use up my old one quick now so I can crack this open. I have promised ALL PP shower gels must have been used before I am allowed
    :D
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    hi ladies,you have been chatting a lot,sorry have not ben around but after weekend trip to Luxembourg Christmas market I managed to pick up a bug:(nearly passed out on the plane as kept going hot and cold very embarrassing but as I said to DH you could die on EJ and the trolly dollies would not notice as too busy trying to flog stuff!

    forgot to buy the soap and glory box(did not need anyway) only remembered at the airport when saw it in Boots and as we only had a carry on there was no way I could buy and as luck would have it was not tempted to buy and pick up on our return as all I wanted was to get home!went online the next day but all gone.

    anyway we had a lovely time and a super birthday:)

    been busy catching up for Christmas,still lots to do but after sunday(big church day) should get quieter.

    just a few ins,I bought myself some cinema perfume at 42% off!!!! and some mythic hair oil which have only used once and already hair looks better plus my friend sent me a load of foot care stuff as a pressie.took minis on trip so uu a few of them and gave away some more minis at a craft stall I did last week
  • Hello everyone - been lurking since April but just couldn't help posting about blushers!

    Wondercollie, I feel your pain. I've been using the same Benefit blusher (Dandelion) since 2007, hit pan in June, and am still going.

    I have three more in the stash . . . . I calculate this will keep me going with daily use until about 2035 . . . at least I like it!

    Since April I have UU 115 items and had 26 INs. My husband is very pleased to have two of the bathroom cupboards back. Two more to go. Onwards and upwards!
  • Evening all, what a wild and windy night! Firstly a couple of UU:
    L’Occitane Precious cream 3ml, really don't like the smell and i think this is the expensive one so WNBA.
    Lush ocean salt, wow this has lasted me since the Boxing Day sale, sur eit was a big one but still good considering I use it a few times a week!

    Oooh dear I have sinned...I brought the No7 Ultimate set:eek: I used Boots points but still I didn't need it. I went through my stash convincing myself I don't have too much then thought about all the stuff I'd get at Christmas and teh things I was planning for the sales!
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Your employers seem to be a complete shower (the censored version).

    And now here I am, racking my brains trying to figure out what 'shower' could mean. I'm a bit slow today…

    So very jealous of your lovely trip, you deserve a treat after such a rubbish time lately. Have a wonderful time!

    I'm feeling a bit rubbish at the moment, I think I'm run down and fending off a cold, but I seem to be anxious about everything, and getting very little of the anxiety inducing list done.

    In a bid to relax I had a bath and have two UU to report:

    Lush big blue bath bomb. My favourite and about the only thing I buy from lush these days. WBA
    L'Occitane divine cream 1ml as my skin needed a little moisture boost.

    Off to package up some jewellery orders to send out and then an early night.
