  • Glad you had a good day tiffanyjayne - hope you find the perfect one in the morning.

    UU

    2 x Mouthwash
    TBS Blueberry body butter - may have been better if I hadnt had it lurking in my stash for quite so long but probably WNBA as there are other scents I prefer.

    Will need to but shampoo tomorrow as the one I thought I had left in my stash is actually conditioner - time for some new specs I think.

    I wondered about Rosemary too - hope she's ok.

    Loving hearing about the exciting wedding news, would love to see dress pictures too!

    I didn't buy anything in the Tarte launch - I like the look of the eyeshadow palette but really don't need anymore eyeshadow. I really want to try the blushes but they seem to be sold out plus I think they are pretty pricy.
  • Morning all, been very slack with my toiletry declarations so here are the last ones for the month:

    Ins:
    2nd Glossybox arrived this week: ]
    NV Pink Chunky Lip crayon
    Maybelline Master Kajal Eyeliner
    H2K Skincare Aromatics Shampoo & Hydrating hair conditioner
    Sleep in Rollers Backcombing brush
    Nougat London Sparkling body shimmer
    Lindt Treat bar? Not really a toiletry but enjoyed eating it.

    Also bought 2 H & B Olive oil soaps

    UUs:
    BeautyWorksWest Luxurious Body & Hair Oil, WIB? no, nothing special. Has a similar smell to Avon's dry oil spray.

    Hi ladies.

    Have 2 UUS from my new PP list already:-

    Cutex nail polish remover
    Elemis PCMC
    TBS Raspberry Body butter
    [STRIKE]Benefit Facial Polish [/STRIKE]
    Aussie Shampoo
    [STRIKE]Elemis Nourishing shower cream [/STRIKE]

    Had a heart stopping moment a few minutes ago when I tipped over my bottle of Cutex nail polish remover.Thankfully didn't lose much. Must pop to Wilkos on Monday and buy a new bottle.

    I was naughty yesterday and bobbed into Sallys. My nail polish had chipped and I was going out straight from work last night. The OPI Mariah Carey minis were on clearance at £2.00 (£2.00 per individual bottle not set!). I bought three of these. Two I have so far identified as Warm Me Up (wearing this now and it's lovely) and Sparkly and Gold (that I've given to Emma). I also bought for Emma a bottle of the Mariah Carey Pure top coat which was reduced from £25.99 to £4.23! Have looked online and I think the other bottle if Visions of Love which I wore last night but it didn't look too great. Maybe cos I applied it straight onto my other chipped lacquer.

    So the Elemis shower gel and Benefit facial polish have gone. WNB either again really. I have more of the shower gel in my stash and whilst it feels lovely I'm not in love with the baby powder fragrance. The facial polish was too grainy for my liking.

    Me too but I think it's from eating too much rubbish lately.
    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!

    Finally UU Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Conditioner - I was sick to death of this a long time ago but persevered to the bitter end. I hated the sickly sweet fragrance

    This made me laugh out loud. I could actually imagine David Mitchell typing it as it came across as his kind of dry humour.
    Tarte Cosmetics launch on QVC today. I can't believed how much I'm looking forward to it. I have my credit card at the ready...
    Just as well I don't list make up in my stash! :D

    Steady on Clutterfree. I remember those days myself - waiting up til Midnight fora particular TSV with my credit card firmly clutched in my hand. Where are Tarte Cosmetics from?

    I watched the Tarte presentation as I was interested in finding out about it. I didn't buy, for a number of reasons. I am very happy to pay for high end skin care, good shoes and lingerie, but I rarely get tempted by the make-up, the other thing that I hate is seeing the close-ups of the models caked in the stuff (always Orange) and emphasizing wrinkles that you would never even see IRL, I'm the same with the SA's in the stores, if they are not capable of applying their product to enhance their features and not turn their faces into a mask, I certainly don't trust them with my face:rotfl: That's not to say I don't enjoy seeing fantastic "night out" eye and lip make overs.

    I did do a naughty little order of 3 Nails Inc Special Effects glitter polishes (indulging my inner teenager:rotfl:)

    I hope that everyone is having a great weekend and good weather, lovely hearing about all the wedding plans:D

    A big hug, in advance, for those who will find "mother's day" difficult. My OH and I have always considered ourselves very fortunate to have been born to young parents, who lived to good ages (74 for my dad, and 80's for my dear in-laws), and my Ma is still going strong.

  • In declarations:

    L'oreal everstrong shampoo - this was necessary as I have no sulphate shampoo left and sulphate shampoo makes my scalp itch and flake.

    Estee Lauder doublewear concealer in light - i have been had a concealer brush in the remaining dregs of my current concealer for more than a week so this is a replacement.

    Two UUs - the first of the Aldi Lacura Hydro Urea foot cream. Second tube now in use. Third tube in wings and they still had a few tubes left in my store. Trying not to be so lavish next time as that was quite a quick UU.

    Second UU -Mitchum Roll on 50 ml . HG product, though I am wondering if I still need to use something so powerful. I started to use it when I was cycling to work every day during a hot summer - nothing else worked as well.
    "Horses sweat, men perspire, women merely glow"? You'd have seen me 'glowing' from space some days.

    Now I work from home and keep the thermostat turned down to save pennies, perhaps I can try something less pricey. I do have one that's being UU'd in the bathroom, will have a think about this one.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
