    Thank you so much, i picked up a CC cream last week but it's quite yellowish, i saw a korean bb cream but i'm not sure it'll give me any sort of cover so i've not bothered until my skin is in better condition, i'm so pale both maxfactor and chanel have told me to look elsewhere as they can't offer me anything

    The Clinique CC cream in the lightest shade leans more pink (on me anyway). Maybe that could be a good match for you?

    morning all
    not really a use up but i had a treatment yesterday one of my friends is a trainee beautician and she needed a guinea pig for an invigorating body massage, she used detoxifying oil on me and it felt wonderful. skin still feels so much softer this morning

    hugs to everyone that needs one and it does sound like quite a few.

    Morning ladies. So sad to hear how many of us have been touched by cancer in one way an another - hugs to you all.

    I have a TA

    No7 Mineral Blush in Damson - I have been using this for about a week and it is too dark for me, I have replaced it with the same but in soft rose or something like that.

    also GA

    Clinique Blush in Iced Lotus - this was a GWP but I tried it this morning and it is too pearly, it makes me look all weird like Sharon in Eastenders.

    Sundaysgirl - thanks for the review of the Khiels Midnight Recovery, I have wanted to try this for ages and was planning on buying at some point but as my skin is so easily congested I don't think I'll bother.

    Pleased I've saved you some money :) though wish I'd known you wanted to try this, I could have posted it to you (as it's a dropper aplication so would have been hygienic) rather than persevering with it!

    So sorry to hear how many have you have been affected by cancer, and at such young ages - hugs.

    This really is so much more than a toiletries thread, I feel very lucky to have found you lovely lot.

    Afternoon Beauty Queens :wave:

    Just back from the salon after having much of my hair lopped off. The product she used to scrunch afterwards smells amazing and my hair looks good on it too, I managed to resist buying any but once I've ploughed through my other styling products I might give it a try, it was almost £17 in the salon but having looked online I can pick it up for around £12 inc delivery :money:

    TA #8: Simple Anti Blemish Moisturiser 75ml; This was a bit of a stash relic, I gave it to DS1 to use after his blackhead scrub (hormonal 12 year old) and it seems to have curdled in the tube. No great shakes.

    That was a really good offer. Thankfully, I resisted. I have decided that apart from nail polish remover and cotton wool pads I need nothing in April and am gonna go cold turkey with the exception of these items. There, I've said it.

    Liam Neeson, ooh yes, yes, YES !!!!!!! (swoons) :rotfl:

    You like him then??:rotfl:

    Tell you who else I like at the moment, Dylan McDermott in Hostages. Hmmm Nice. x

    Nearly forgot I did pop on to post about a UU:-

    Drum roll please - at last the last item on my PP list has gone:-

    Mark Hill Straightening Serum. WBA probably although I still have some in my stash.

    Will have to see what I can add to my new list for April.
    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!

    2 TA- a first for me!

    S&g wizard of flaws I didn't want to chuck this as I love it and they don't do it any more but it's all separated :(. Their products don't seem to have a long life once opened (I know they aren't meant to have anyway but ANY Other make lasts fine)

    s&g sexy mother pucker this one is all but finished but it's gone all lumpy *yuck*

    Almost had to chuck my s&g foundation as it had all separated too but seemed to come back together when I shook it so will try to use this over next few days/weeks and see how I get on with it.
