  • Some UU

    30ml DKNY be delicious EDP - this was nice as a daytime fragrance. WNBA as there are others I prefer but would happily use if gifted.

    200ml Umberto Giannini condition & shine hair mask - I dont think this is made any more its a stash relic bought as part of a boots glitch many years ago. Was useless on my hair but was OK when used sparingly on DD's hair. Sadly I have one left in my stash.

    More ins in the form of the QVC Bare Minerals TSV.
    Still havent bought the essentials like cotton wool for the month so its only going to get worse.

    Today hasnt been great a lost in the post ebay parcel - appreciate Royal Mail lose post but this buyer seemed very quick off the mark.

    A post poned store collecton from M&S - this would have been fair enough but its the 3rd order ive been let down on - they shouldnt offer the next day if they cant achieve it.

    And finally an ongoing battle with Amazon for a mucked up changeover from Lovefilm.

    Hopefully Friday will be better!

    And freebie INs through the post yesterday:

    54. Garnier Ultimate Blends The Sleek Restorer Shampoo 8ml

  • Two UU's! TBS Peach Body Scrub. WMBA. I liked the smell but I think I prefer Soap & Glory's scrubs. And Badedas Shower Gel/Bath Foam. WNBA. The smell did nothing for me.

    I think I may need to repurpose my heel genius! It's a real LHJ and I detest touching my/any feet. I feel weird every time I do it but I've been trying, the tube is neverending though and I have more in the stash :/

    I have a use up to report from last night. The Clean & Clear Deep Cleansing Facial Wipes x 25 from my original Project Pan list are now all gone. I'm not sure if these are even still available, but I wouldn't buy them again anyway as they didn't really agree with my skin.

    Hopefully there will be some more use ups to report after my shower later. :)
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Boring UU to report: One pack of Skin System cosmetic cotton wool pads (from ASDA), I bought the one that comes with two packs so still got another to use up :P
    Probably WBA, but want to invest in those re-useable ones that you put in the washing machine, although not until I get my own place!

    Anyway my liz earle order came today, I got a few nice bits for mum but also couldn't resist ordering a handbag sized super balm. It feels similar to burts bees handsalve except I can also use this in my lips. It also came with an extremely generous 30ml C&P, muslin cloth and 15m, sachet of jasmine and tiare body lotion! this is my first time ordering so I'm really impressed!

    Glad that you are pleased with your LE purchases and got some lovely free samples too. I love the Superbalm and much prefer it to Burts Bees Hand Salve (which I using at the moment and which I find isn't as effective as LE).

    Also, I've opened a rather lovely Champney's large box from Boots. It has only been sat there for *cough* a whole year. Now I need shower gel and there be shower gel in there!

    So, here are the INs:

    Champney's Citrus Blush Shower Gel (200ml)
    Champney's Skin Comforting Shower Cream (200ml)
    Champney's Citrus Blush Body Scrub (200g)
    Champney's Skin Comforting Body Butter (175ml)
    Champney's Citrus Blush Shower Lotion (200ml)
    Champney's Skin Comforting Bathing Milk (300ml)

    Whilst on my way to work yesterday I passed a CS and saw in the window some 17 nail polishes (one of the Christmas sets) and a Champneys set (mini sizes). I was so tempted to go back at lunch and get the Champneys one to try but managed to resist. I am in torment about it though.

    Evening ladies! :)

    As I mentioned in a previous post, I am getting thoroughly bored with the remaining few items left over from my first Project Pan. Most are spluttering and I will continue to use them up, but I felt it was about time for a shiny new photo and list so here it is.

    project_pan2_zps1cf7ef80.jpg

    L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss 40ml
    Kuan Overnight Intensive Oil Control 125ml
    Radox Daily Elements Pure Clear Deodorant 35ml
    Botanics Enriching After Colour Conditioner 75ml
    Dead Sea Source De-stress Ginger Body Souffle 50ml
    Unknown brand pack of facial wipes from a product trial
    Vosene Moisturising Shampoo sachet 10ml
    Pantene Protect & Smooth Shampoo sachet 10ml
    Pantene Protect & Smooth Conditioner sachet 10ml
    Pantene 2 Minute Colour Damage Rescue Masque sachet 10ml
    Oil of Ulay Moisturising Body Wash sachet 10ml
    Olay Total Effects Time Resist Hand Cream sahet 3ml
    Ralph Lauren Polo Sport Cleanse Moisturising Spa Wash sachet 7ml
    Molton Brown Plum-kadu Glossing Shampoo sachet 5ml
    Molton Brown plum-kadu Glossing Conditioner sachet 5ml

    Some of these items are stash relics which are nearly empty and there are lots of sachets. Hopefully this will get some more use ups coming!

    Lovely photo. I still have my tube of Mark Hill Straightening Cream hanging on in there. Keep applying some every chance I get too.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
