    I've been making lots and lots of jewellery so my nails are not in good nick! I can't wait till after the fair on the 15th when I can paint them candy colours! Nearly time. :)

    OK couple of OUTs

    51/52/53 L'Occitance face cream samples. Some were divine cream which is flipping gorgeous.
    54 Lush olive branch shower gel, used as bath foam. Rather yummy.
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    I definitely shop when I'm bored!

    On its way to me: Elizabeth Arden 8hr cream 50ml (this was under £9 on amazon. I've just started a 15ml tube of this and my initial reaction was 'ick' it didn't seem to do much but did soak in nicely I wasn't keen on the green tea (well that's what it smells like to me) scent but I've used it for 3 or 4 days and it's got rid of my dry skin around my nose and my skin's much brighter now)

    Maybelline dream matte mousse and another maybelline foundation

    Elizabeth Arden visible difference cream 100mls

    Bomb cosmetics boxes x 2 (each with about 5 bath products in)

    RoC night set (2 items)

    Clarins matte (3 piece) face care set

    Ciate neon blue polish set

    Nicole by Opi blue berry polish.

    I did convince OH to pay for some of it :D but I'm very, very naughty!

    Soap & Glory stuff does seem to last for years. I have one of their 500ml bottles I was given for Christmas 2012, started using it in September last year and it is still going! I'm hoping I can use it all up by Easter but not holding my breath...

    But not the hand cream :mad: I've mentioned before how yucky it smells after it's been opened just a few months:(
    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

    Threw away new conditioner and shampoo & booster from elvive thickening. I didn't like it made my hair feel greasy...

    I was looking at this product and thinking it was just what I needed. It isn't!... Good, as I really don't need more shampoo or conditioner atm, and using what I have in rota seems to be working.

    An IN of A!di Lacura Facial Wipes, 30 pack for the princely outlay of 89p. Current pack is less than half full and they don't always have my preferred variety in stock.
    I also bought some tissues to replace the utterly useless Kleenex Mansize Compact tissues I bought.
    I got these in the local Heron discount store. I wonder if they were in there because they were substandard? I can remember an ad for the old style Kleenex showing how strong they were when they didn't rip when tugged.
    You could read the paper through these ones and they ripped so easily that they were useless for most purposes unless you used two at a time.

    Ooh no, back from Aldi with Lacura Face Treatment Oil, completely unintended but our Aldi fan tempted me again:D They had quite a lot of it left in our store.

    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
