Okay ladies, at risk of getting shot, what is a bubble bar please?
I'm guessing it is Lush related as I don't shop there because I think they're expensive. Thanks.

They're like a solid bubble bath; you crumble the bar under running water and you end up with lots of bubbles. Wish I still had a bath so I could enjoy one once in a while.

Hope your son is doing ok Rosemary.

Whoop! Having complained about taking forever over a couple of products on my Project Pan list, I finished one of them in the cold light of day! So....

UU:

Nivea Soft moisturising lotion 200ml WBA (and like the rest of my products I have another one in stock ). Really love this scent.

I've now moved on to using an overly flowery travel sized Marks & Spencer Florentyna body lotion. I'm in two minds as to whether I should continue with this or bin it. However, I don't want to just throw things away willy nilly... but there are another 22 body moisturisers waiting in the wings to be used.

Fiasco55 - great news re your job! :j

Did get some good news the other day - my job is secure and no interview is required. :j:j:j:j Not had time to take it in yet as I am pretty stressed with work in general (crazy hours and covering for boss's 3 week holiday) and my best friend is leaving next month to live in The States. So upset about this.

That's great news about your job Fiasco, it must be a weight off your mind. Sorry to hear about your best friend relocating, but it will be a good excuse for you to go and visit in future.

Well done with the use ups Vicky. I feel exactly the same as you about throwing things away - I'm even persevering with things I don't like very much as I hate wastage. Still, other than toothpaste, I probably won't need to buy any toiletries at all for the whole of next year. :shhh:

Same here! Toothpaste and possibly a bit of conditioner. Certainly not moisturiser, shower gel or shampoo! :rotfl: That's why I'm here, I suppose!

Hi All,

I've been so neglectful of the thread lately as Dec has been a total whirlwind of activity, all to the good! I've just caught up, the spirit of the challenge has still been with me however and I've no new IN and a few UU:

Garnier Moisture Match Gel - WBA, couple more in the stash after supercheap off last month in Tesco
Bliss The Youth as We Know It Moisture Cream sachet - A reall PRCP moment, opened this and it was reduced to brown gunk :eek::eek::eek: Goodness knows how old it must have been to end up like that and what a shame as I was looking forward to seeing what a £50 odd a pot moisturiser was like.... Suffice to say it was only fit for the bin.
Percy and Reed No Oil Oil - WBA - HG - bit of a cheeky one this, I'd somehow managed to have two on the go so ended up decanting one into the other. Will repurchase soon as my hair is so much better behaved for this little gem

Only leaves a couple of items on the Dec PP list now and they are seriously spluttering so should be no problem.

I've usually picked myself up a couple of OOTW from Boots by this time of the month but I've been really underwhelmed this year - I think its just been a case of too much of the same being wheeled out each year - anyone else feel like this??

Did someone mention that Philosophy Pure Grace may be in the sales? Please let me know where and when. Thank you.
I've never bought toiletries in the January sales (well except perfume from the Next sale) so you may be leading me astray...

I posted that I hope they are on sale. If I see any, will let you know.

Cutex nail polish remover - apparently this one is good for glitter - will see.

Works well for me on a slight glitter by soaking the cotton pad in quite a bit of product and then pressing onto the nail colour to remove. If you are wearing a heavy glitter I find it easier to use the same method but wrap tinfoil around the nail and leave a short while to remove the glitter.

Have just repainted my nails and am now wearing OPI Skyfall, a firm favourite from last year's Xmas collection.

Forgot to mention another UU which is no on my PP list:-

TBS Honeymania bath gel. WNBA. Not very impressed by this product. Hard to measure out of the tub. Used half a tub yesterday to finish it and found that this was the best amount to use to get adequate bubbles. Not good.

If I don't get another chance to post before Christmas everybody please enjoy yourselves. Looking forward to what luscious goodies we all get for Christmas!

Take care. xx

Also, I spy with my little eye someone beginning with K on the Molton Brown thread...! :rotfl:

Whoops! *Whistles innocently and backs slowwwwwly out of the thread* :rotfl:

Another UU:

15. No7 P&P day cream 15ml - this was a GWP and I think I have another in the stash, I'll use this but WNB as I find it to be too rich for my skin, especially for day use.

Fiasco - excellent news about your job but sorry to hear about your best friend's relocation.

Rosemary - how tragic

Fiasco - good news about the job.

Have 4 uu all in one day today:

Alpha H Liquid Gold - 200ml, I have been using this bottle twice a week for 18 months (although I did use it three times a week at first) so good value at that rate. Have replaced it with a 100ml bottle and then I will decide whether to buy again.

Body Shop Buriti Baby Body Butter 50ml - WBA, this is gorgeous but I don't think they do it anymore. Have another pot in the stash.

Pantene Aqua Light - 400ml, probably won't buy this again as I need something a bit more moisturising.

Jo Hansford Colour Intensive Mask 50ml - this smells great but doesn't do anything that a cheaper alternative doesn't do.
