    Welcome aintshesweet and FLA27 and sending Willowbee get well wishes. :)

    I've been very busy the last few weeks so I've been slacking again on the pampering front I'm afraid, but I have managed to put together my latest Project Pan list below:

    7c9a4027-2298-4159-9b2f-1ad43cd60d11_zps5893cfc8.jpg

    Aussie 3 Minute Miracle Reconstructor 250ml
    Kadus Imunal Sebo Control Shampoo 250ml
    Timotei Pure Shampoo 250ml
    Sanctuary Spa Deep Cleansing Wipes x 25
    Salon Selectives Enhancing Conditioner sachet 12ml
    Oil of Ulay (ancient!!) Moisturising Body Wash sachet 10ml
    Boots Natural Collection Rosemary and Witch Hazel Face Mask 10ml
    Nivea Hand Essential Moisturising Lotion 3ml
    Olay Total Effects Intensive Overnight Treatment sachet 3ml
    Redken Oliance Extra-moisturizing Aminoleic Shampoo sachet 8ml

    I've used up a couple of bits already which I'll post about shortly but I've got an early start tomorrow so I need to go to bed. I'm not feeling too great at the moment as I seem to be having a bad hair month and my rosacea has flared up again recently probably due to stress and the weather. :(

    I am also very tempted by the Yankee Candle owl now too so would be grateful for a heads up if it goes on sale again please. :)
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
  • A few TAs from me (I feel like since I'm not allowed to buy too much make up I dig in my selection way more and find stuff that I don't want! Well it's time to get rid of it :) )

    Hypnose Star mascara by Lancome: WMBA since it made my lashes look really good. I have to throw it away since it's old and all dried up :(

    P2 lipstick in "Pont Neuf": WNBA since it's a rosy - beige color and it just looks horrible on me :( I can't believe I wore that in public :eek:

    Uu steamcream - I bought a duo of tins ages ago in a Tesco sale, I bought them just to see what all the hype was about, must say I still don't quite get it. It's a good enough moisturizer but I'm not keen on the fragrance, it's a little too herbal for me, I have another tin I the stash to use but wnba when it's used.

    Happy pampering xo
  • I bought a tiny bottle of Next Just Pink eau de parfum :o
    I went to buy some new PJs and the waft of scent just enticed me. I've had it before, twice, so I know I'll use it!

    I've now got a stinking cold so I'm avoiding using my stash / any makeup to prevent germs spreading. Yuck. I'm not especially a germaphobe but I'm guessing it can't be healthy to dig my paws into pots of cream if I've been sneezing and snotting!

    Hi ladies. Have had a little mooch on QVC and can't see Ollie at all! If I see any other electric tart warmer offers I'll make you aware of them.


    No INs or OUTs so all good I suppose. I have sort of rediscovered an old nail colour though: Sephora by OPI How Cute is That? I received a small bottle of this as part of a bigger kit and it's one of a few that I did not like in there. Decided to try it on Monday and am very happy with it. Not so happy that I want to buy another bottle though which is progress for me.
    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!

    Aww I love the fragrance, I don't use it all the time but think its great when my skins sensitive or in need of calming down:)
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Hi, Thanks for the welcome!

    I thought I had completed my list but found two sample sachets in my letter rack (with an unpaid bill - oops) and I know I am ignoring some stuff in my gift cupboard.

    My other problem is I have received a shampoo and conditioner as a survey product trial so it is going to take even longer to clear up my hair stuff. Not complaining though.

    Happily, the only INS I've had this month are my Liz Earle order (part of this will be xmas/birthday gift) and the above product trial. I'll keep checking in on here is I feel my resolve slipping.

    Thanks again.
