Happy Mothers day ladies and cyber hugs to those of us who find the day difficult.

I have an in to declare courtesy of DD - DKNY be delicious perfume - as some of you may remember I targeted this one in my stash this month DD had seen me using it up and told DH it was my favourite.

How thoughtful. I got a new bottle of Essie Good to Go Top Coat which I'm just about to apply on top of a further coat of OPI Warm me Up. I'm going to use the remains of the top coat open at the mo as a base coat as I think I may have added too much thinner to it.

Good news though- I thought I'd lost a favourite lip crayon (full) and have been searching for about 2 weeks, ready to buy another one but found it in the car yesterday! Very pleased about £7 ish saved

I have a Clinique Lipstick that has gone AWOL. Have looked in all my handbags to no avail. Emma is tidying her room today so there's hope that it may turn up in that black hole!!

Another UU from my PP list:-

TBS Raspberry body butter. I love all their body butters that I've tried with the exception of the Moroccon Rose one. I probably won't buy this again though as MrM doesn't like berry fragrances and said he didn't like this one.

Am going to tally up my INS/OUTS for March now. Be back soon.

Dazedandconfused

Erm loads of ins and no outs oops

In blonde eyebrow pencil maybelline - to be fair it was on offer and I needed one
In maybelline b&b cream. I now have enough b&b cream to last 9 months so no b&b cream for 9 months
In soap and glory perfume - again not an impulse buy I have no perfume left at all. This is going to be my day scent and at £16.50 is a pretty good price

I need to buy some moschino cheap and chic as well but I'm waiting for a special offer

In not that it's a toiletry but a michel mercier detangling brush. I have shortish hair but it tangles ridiculously easily. The hairdresser thinks I have static electricity lol. So I've wanted one or a tangle teaser for ages or one of these but the MM brush is £15 and the tangle teaser £12 which I think is too much so I've been looking out for a discounted one for ages. Anyway it was £6 so bargainous

I also bought some of the eyebrow strips from superdrug. If I get my eyebrows waxed it is £5-8 depending on if they've got an offer on. A £1.99 pack of these will last me 8 waxes so that's at least £40 saved

Afternoon ladies, hope everyone is well.

UU's/ GA
2 Snowcake soap GA

SBC Propolis bath soak WNBA it foamed but thats about it, no scent.

Vanilla bean whipped soap WNBA like the product but prefer other scents

Lagoon whpped body moisturiser WBA one of my favourite scents, shame it has been disciontinued

SBC firming gel GA

Neutrogena hand cream WBA HG

Yves rocher hair protection spray WNBA full of some not so good ingredients and did very little for my hair

Paul Mitchell leave in conditioner TA usede most but I found it really drying in my hair, probably due to the alcohol content.

Elemis Pro collagen cleansing balm WBA really like this.

Melvita rose toner WBA already replace see below

Steam cream WNBA it so similar to dream cream and so much more expensive.

Rodial bee venom GA

Lancome Genfique GA

Elemis PMC 4ml WBA

Hyrdalaron 5ml GA

ESPA eye cream sample 3ml GA

Carex hand gel WBA does the job

INS
Rosewater to use as toner

Olive oil incredibly rich hair moisturiser (like the ingredents)

Boots coconut and almond leave in hair conditioner

2 X indeed labs hydralauron

2 X pixi tonic (really wanted to try)

Theorie argon oil repair mask 500ml

2 outs to declare
- Lacura night cream. Already have another in the stash, but not sure I'd buy it again after that. Just doesn't seem to do a great deal.
- Nip+Fab glycolic fix serum. Probably wouldn't buy it again, smells like bathroom bleach and didn't do much.

OK so my totals for March:-

INS:-
Laura Geller Balance N Brighten (necessary as I had run out) £13.30 (first payment)
CLINIQUE ALL ABOUT EYES EYE CREAM (again I had no eye cream left) £5 (as used Boots Gift Card for balance)
CLINIQUE TAKE THE DAY OFF CLEANSER £17 (not essential. I wanted to try it and bought it to qualify for GWP - would have had to buy a new eye make up remover though as I only had the one open that I was using)
LOCCITANE AFTERSHAVE BALM £22. (for MrM so not counted as an IN but a spend nevertheless)
BOUJOIS CONCEALER (needed this as had no other in my stash) £8.99
BATH LILLIES x 4 £1.00 (ours needed replacing)

Unnecessary spend although I don't count my nail polishes in this challenge : £10.23 (£6.23 on polishes given to Emma)

So not bad really as I didn't buy anything that I already had loads of in my stash. A total spend of £49.29 on me.

Add to this the Clinique GWP products counted in challenge (ie excepting the foundation, mascara and lip gloss) : equals 11.

19 OUTs so pleased that these surpassed my INs. I've given up putting money into a pot as it just gets used when we need change though I'm keeping a "virtual pot" still and had the total of £16.50 saved.

I really must try cold turkey in April though with the exception of a replacement bottle of Cutex, cotton wool, shampoo and some soaps from Yorkshire Soap Company when we visit York soon.

I have decided I *need* to try glycolic acid as my chin is so blimmin' congested, it's really getting me down

I know a few of you have used Pixi Glow, is it worthy of the hype? I've also been lookin at the Mario Badescu toner and the Nip & Fab Glycolic pads, does anyone have any experience with these?

Happy Mummy's Day to all those with little uns, big uns, step uns etc. I hope you're all being pampered! xx

Apologies Val if I came across as rude. I didn't mean to, I was actually taking the pee out of QVC because they kept banging on about it.
Sorry xx

Dolly84, are you finding it blends well?

Happy mothers day to all of your and your mums, hugs to those that find today tough, have a great day x

I've been spoilt today by my little one but no toiletries to put in, i do have around 6 UU's to declare but i'll post them later x

I've had no problems with it at all, it is quite creamy but still liquidy enough to blend and it stays put even through exercise.

I have a tangle teaser for DD, she has waist length hair and we find it a bit naff tbh, it only gets through the top layer of hair and the teeth bend really easily.

VALM - when I started buying Clinique take the day off about 2 years ago it was £14, can't believe it is £17 now.

Happy Mummies day to all the mummies here and hugs to those that find it a difficult day.

1 UU to report The sanctuary body lotion WBA love this fragrance it also lasts on the skin nicely.

Now debating the using up of the relic soothing body gel 150ml... vs the very bland and boring Avon care 400ml tub still have 12 items in this area. 5 however are unopened and i'm trying to keep them that way till the others are under control.

Muscles are really aching at the minute & headachy but theres a lot of similar symptoms at work at the moment so i think there must be a bug doing the round again.

Happy Bubbles
