    Evening ladies

    Finally have some reporting. So UU Gum hairspray from bf house. HG item for me and bulk bought when I thought it was getting discontinued. Have replaced it with another.

    Another uu L'Occitaine universal shower gel. WNBA even at half price £9 for that size of shower gel is just too much. Have looked out a sanctuary shower cream now.

    My Laid Bare Pack Your Bags eye cream is spluttering now. Feel like a few of my eye creams are going to run out at the same time. I'm trying to avoid feeling the rise of the panic buying in me. It will be fine.

    Just on a side note. I bought my best friend the best of benefit gift set for £24.50 as part of her Christmas. At the time I'd talked myself out of buying one for myself and now having seen it, boy am I regretting that one. It is fab. Nevermind, I'm holding out for some Elemis deal. Got a stonking good one last Christmas.

    Hi please let me know where you got your Elemis deal from last year cos on the look out for PCMC x
    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!

  • Thanks Dolly84, completely forgot about that option! will put them up there !

    got a few more UUs today:

    Neals yard beauty sleep concentrate 0.5ml x2 - WDBA, made my skin feel amazing
    YSL forever youth liberator serum 1ml sachet - WNBA same as the other one, plus so so sticky.
    Lancome Hydra Zen Neurocalm moisturising cream 50ml - used to love this, got a few deluxe samples still to use in my stash, but not so sure anymore - it doesn't smell great and OH refuses to come near me when I use it!
    Rodial Stem Cell Superfood Glam Balm Lip 10ml - definite LHG, bit greasy for my liking WNBA.

    one IN - Origins checks and balances face wash 30ml - took my empties in to origins for recycling, thought they'd at best give me a 1/2ml sachet as it states on the website. Guy was really friendly and said that was all the samples they had left! :)

    I have an in and a rather epic one at that

    Soap & Glory The Next Big Thing - 10 items in this but I do love S&G. I had a quick look on ebay and someone is selling 21 of them. It is so greedy and distasteful, people should leave them stuck with them all. The hand cream has changed name, not sure if it is the same formula as Hand Food or if they have done a new one altogether.

    Tried doing my Christmas tree nails. Have to admit I didn't do a great job of them. I'll redo them in a few days when I chip them.

    Should that have said 'Pleut'? :P
    I used my Birch Box points and then saw some in the Regis sale for ridiculously cheap and couldn't resist!

  • 2 INs here: 2 OPI pale pink nail varnishes. They were really cheap at a local shop so DH got me them for Christmas.

    I was doing really well at getting my number of varnishes down but they've crept back up again this year. I've got quite a few that have been used a lot though so need to try to get them used up.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)
