I dont think 1 more helmer will be enough MaddieMay -

I have similar nail polish storage problems and really need another helmer (or 2).

What colours of NI did you order?

Green, pink and blue glitter http://www.qvcuk.com/qvc.product.205700.html?cm_mmc=Email-_-Customer%20Service%20Email-_-Order%20Confirmation-_-P205700

Kadison, that may take a while:(, but will endeavour to do it, think a voice recognition program might be a good investment though:rotfl:

Think these will be my final outs for March

Boots Smile 6+ toothpaste - WBA DD HG

Johnsons baby bedtime wash 400ml - Last of the stash of these products - WMBA as I found the scent quite soothing.

Oliv body lotion 30ml - came in a beauty box - was OK but wouldnt go out of my way to repurchase.

No7 purifying mask - was OK WMBA

Olay cloth mask - felt I needed to add moisture to my skin as it was feeling a little parched after the other mask - im not a fan of cloth masks (which explains why these have been lurking so long) but it did the job.

They look lovely - perfect sparkle for the spring.

There are so many beautiful polishes around at the moment - I cannot get enough.

Good luck with the list - I find it hard enough to keep my book up to date - I must invest in a modern phone as I believe there is an app to catalogue which would be great as im sure I have a lot of dupes in my collection.

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

There is a thread on this part of the forum on acid peels (DIY) which is very informative if you haven't already seen it;) I am considering the No7 one for age spot on my hands when I have a £5 voucher sometime.

I don't have spots or much in the way of congestion, but have been using acid toners to help with the exfoliation process as (sorry to harp on about it) being older, my skin cells don't turnover so quickly anymore and I can get a bit grey looking.

I use Alpha-H Liquid Gold every other night for a few nights and then leave it off for a few, and then Pixi Glow every morning, I have tried Clarins Brightening Exfoliating toner and couldn't see any difference on me (half face of each Pixi and Clarins for about 10 days). Caroline Hirons also rates First Aid Beauty Radiance Pads, but have not tried them. Sorry, no knowledge of the other products you mention, also remember that I have read the formula may have changed (not for the better) on the REN one, but would need to check this out. I have sensitive skin and dampened the cotton pads slightly for the first few day and have had no bad reactions.:D

This is all brilliant, thank you SO much. I hadn't seen the peel thread and read it with great interest this morning. I'll do a bit more research and may well buy a mild mandelic acid peel to give it a try

Kadison - I think I might try to get hold of the Michael Mercier brush at some point for DD.

I thought that looked like a lot more NV than I have but think the boxes just looked big on the photo, I have loads of polish too.

I have uu

Elemis PCMC Night Cream - 15ml - WBA

Body Shop Burritti Baby Body Wash - 50ml, WNBA, I don't think it is available anymore.

Body Shop Earth Lovers Cucumber & Rosemary Shower Gel

Ren Hydra Calm Cleansing Gel - 15ml, I really like the smell of this but it was too runny which made it hard to actually apply to my face.

I am ending the month on 35 uu/out and 7 ins, with a total spend of £2.10. Very happy with that and I can see the clutter going down now.
