    All this talk of nail varnish has made me go and paint my nails. Going out tomorrow so that's a good enough reason :) when I was working I did like painted nails but hardly ever out now.
    Got an enabling post - this weekend Lidl have their Chanel copy perfume Madam Suddenly at 1/2 price - £1.99 :p I keep one in my car as it's very pleasant and sometimes it can be handy to use as a quick squirt. I also wore this to work and always got lots of lovely comments :)
    I also think Lidl have some moisturiser on offer too ...:p

    Have had a PYND I've not done my nails In ages despite loads of recent(ish) nail polish purchases. I've done them in models own hyper gel: blue glint with opi rapidry topcoat.

    I was looking at polishes in town earlier (walked out of boots with only my lunch) and couldn't remember which ones I actually had. I want Barry m gelly shine in blackberry but couldn't remember if I had it already or not (I don't have). I also really want to try one of the polish drying sprays. Any recommendations?

    Ive tried a sally hansen one and elegant touch that came in a glossybox - I found them both pretty rubbish and have better results with seche vite topcoat - it can be applied to still wet nails.

    A few more outs:

    Sure deo - WBA DH DG

    Elemis bliss capsules 7 day supply - seeing some improvement to my skin and some old marks are starting to fade.

    Boots body butter sample I was sent to test - WMBA if I knew what the scent was.

    Lots of ebay outs - mostly minis and make up

    Hello all,

    I get gel polish on mine every 3 weeks.. I go on Thursday... Looking forward to a change in colour.

    I have a few ebay bits and pieces out so that clears a little space.

    UU- no 7 cleansing water. I have another in stash but WBA I really like this for getting make up and grime off before a deeper cleanse.

    Enabling post- I got the new blemish serum from Est!e Lauder as skin is bad at the moment and on stuff from gp for it. But if you buy two products you get a lovely gift with purchase.

    Have a uu

    No7 Foaming Shower Oil - WDBA, I will miss this, it smells gorgeous and makes my skin soft, I do go through it quite quickly as I put it straight onto my skin rather than a puff.

    No more UU's to report though lot's of things stubbornly spluttering!

    I did quite joyously TA an ancient Rimmel sun shimmer fake tan thingy. Realised I was never going to use it as I hate the smell. I found this in the 99p shop. garnier-summer-body-moisturising-spray-mist-light-sun-kissed-lookgarnier-skin-care-60171949-900x900.jpg

    I have used the lotion before and loved it so am hoping the spray will be even better. I have a black tie do later tonight. The theme is James Bond and I am going in a floor length gold dress as a nod to 'goldfinger', so I thought I'd better get a bit of colour on the showing bits! So far so good...

    Then went mad and bought this...Zimages?q=tbn:ANd9GcQN8itqkgbTYP7kPHfCfWYTQ8GdVHf5qXx_ZkJdZHrjd2afnz7w

    and this...ADIDAS-Women-BS-75ML-LIGHT-19C602C_1.jpg for my gym bag. Technically they were not needed, but I am unrepentant as I'd had a horrible day at work and thought buying something for myself I would actually use in the gym was better than reaching for a giant galaxy bar, and I didn't go over my monthly budget...yet! I have to say they both smell amazing!
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!

    And I have two more splutterers in the above, I feel like I'm finally making some progress :D

    A long overdue tidy of the bathroom has yielded:-

    UU
    200ml Guinot Rose Cleanser. WBA. but atm prefer balm cleansers
    100ml Cyclax Gentle Eye makeup remover. WBA if I came across it anywhere.

    TA
    1 Lush shampoo/conditioner bar, not used very much of it, but it tangles my hair too much so in the bin.
    Remains of unidentified Lush massage bar.

    Also trying to cull the stock of "may be useful sometime" small bottles and pots:eek:

    One of the reasons for buying the Lush Porridge soap was to use on my dry, slightly rough hands, but after trying it for a few washes after gardening, I find that (like most Lush soaps) it is far too drying and making hands itchy:o Will use it up in the bath.
