    Thanks for the suggestions but I wear very little makeup - moisturiser with SPF, mascara and that's about it :o and as I'm on here I have a stash of those items in the drawer! Back to the drawing board :)
    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.

    I have a Sleek eye palette, it's very good for the £7.99 or whatever I paid for it although I only use 2 colours from it so not very worthwhile buying a full palette for me. The unused colours will either sit there and take up space because I can't bear to bin them or my sister will end up with them and I doubt she'll use them either - she's a worse hoarder than me!

    I got an Ocado delivery on Sunday. They gave me a free delivery pass for 3 months which runs out next month so thought it'd be rude not to use it :p Anyway, I stocked up on stuff I usually buy which was on offer or cheaper than my usual supermarkets and I've heard people rave on about the Waitrose Baby Bottom Butter so I ordered one to try :D

    I had a £20 off a £60 spend code with Ocado but when I had a look the things that weren't on offer were very expensive so I left it.

    The Glamglow mask that I tried was very good, it had little leaves in it, the price is :eek:though.

    Upsy - my compressed deo didn't last as long as a regular size one, it did work to the end but it just ran out quicker, I would still buy again though when I need a spray.

    I UU from my PP list - Ted Baker scrub in Butterfly Wings. I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it on its own, but I did like the scent and would happily receive it as a gift or buy in a set in the sale.
    :o

    I love the Butterfly Wings fragrance but don't get on with the scrub at all. I find it leaves a sticky residue on my skin, no matter how much I rinse and even if I use shower gel after the scrub.

    Welcome Summer69, amberfinn53 and KarleyMarie. :)

    Still no use ups to report, although I am excited that the shampoo is finally starting to splutter!!

    I reckon it will be the same kind of scenario as Woman in Black where they tidied the end up really nicely for the American market.
    Interesting point about The Woman in Black, I thought the ending to the film was too ambiguous. I have read the book and seen the play and had a completely different take on the ending of the film than the woman I went to see it with.

    I have been a little naughty and ordered 3 new polishes from Sally Magpies (2 are in the sale, so that makes it OK - right:rotfl:)
    What polishes did you buy maddiemay?

    I have ordered Lilypad Sweet as a Peach, Layla Ultra Violet and Pretty Serious Phantom Planet, an eclectic selection:rotfl:, and from MUA I am waiting for delivery of Fashionista Diamond Rocks-Red Diamond and Fashionista Diamond Rocks-Black Pearl. I haven't seen any of these IRL so looking forward to being able to play with them all. (BTW nail polish is my hobby, I adore colour, but cannot paint or sew, so I indulge myself with fabby little bottles of fun, this is excluded from my challenge).

    Yes they are expensive in general but they had the fabric softener I use on offer so I stocked up along with some baking stuff and bits for the freezer. I saved about £18 so not bad really (everything price checked on My Supermarket :D) You just have to trawl through their offers a bit and stock up on non-perishables if you can to make it worthwhile
    Never say never

    Nail polish is my passion too, so I understand completely. My polish collection is definitely excluded from this challenge!! :rotfl:

    I have the Layla already and Phantom Planet is lovely but looks very similar to a few others in my collection. Will this be your first Lilypad? I have a few of the holographic ones and really love them. Enjoy!! :D

    BS Vitamin E tinted moisturiser

    A couple more UU, it has been very slow going in Feb and I have loads of my PP list to get through!

    Avon SPF30 facial sunscreen - have been using this since my holidays last June and I thought it would never end! MBA as a facial sunscreen rather than a daily moisturiser.

    Green People lip balm tube - MBA, there was nothing wrong with the lip balm but occasionally I couldn't squeeze anything out of it, I think it got too cold and went solid!

    Neals Yard Honey hand cream - probably WNBA, not as moisturising as L'Occitane Shea but there was nothing really wrong with it. It was a good magazine freeby though.

    I got my Salcura and Manuka honey samples through the post last week, many thanks to the OP because I always miss out on free stuff! I'm not declaring them as official ins because I am going to use them straight away. My thinking is that they won't be lingering long enough to be part of the stash so they don't really count :)
