Also, was sorting out makeup today and have a variety of gently used eyeshadows that I would be happy to swap, don't want to see them go to waste! If anyone is interested please PM me.

Chanel illusion d'ombre - Emmerville (half used)
Charlotte Tilbury colour chameleon - champagne diamonds (used maybe twice?)
Benefit Easiest nudes kit (not in box, cream eyeshadows used a few times, powder eyeshadows used maybe two or three times. Cream eyeshadows are loose and powder shadows have been depotted into a Mac quad)
No7 powder shadows - (samples so not sure of names) a cream, a shimmery mid tone golden brown and a shimmery deep brown

Didn't you like these. I'm using the Easiest Nudes set at the moment and really love it. I have one of the Charlotte Tilbury pencils in a different colour, I liked the one you have but thought it was a bit bright for me.

plumpudding - I can't help with the dry conditioner I'm afraid, I didn't know such a thing existed.

Valm/Wondercollie - Avon do brown mascaras and navy blue too.

And yesterday brought another IN

Triple pack of C0lgate Extra Clean Toothbrushes (same as I got last month). This is one thing I don't mind having plenty of in the house if I can get them at a good price (my preferred brand/design), and I got another 80p cashback deal yesterday morning. In Mr T they're £1/pack, meaning I end up paying 20p for the 3 :T

Think I saw them in Mr M for £1.70. In Mr A they're "rolled back" to £1.98 !! And in Mr S they're a stagging £4 for the identical item :eek: So I'm not passing up the chance of a pack for 20p

I'm just not an eyeshadow wearer really! Mascara and occasionally eyeliner is all I wear on my eyes the benefit kit I bought as the SA tried it on me and I thought I might wear it on special occasions but I find I look odd with shadow on my eyes.

Hi ladies.

It is my birthday today. No birthday ins, I specifically said I didn't want any toiletries or makeup etc at all.

Happy Belated Birthday Wishes dolly84. I've been trying to catch up on the thread over the last few days and have finally managed to wish you well. Hope it was a good day.

I have two TAs today:

The Body Shop Frosted Cranberry Shimmer Lotion 60ml
The Body Shop Glazed Apple Shimmer Lotion 60ml

These were both from my advent calender last year and I had hoped they would be just a body lotion and not too 'shimmery' as that kind of product really isn't my thing. After one application I ended up being covered in glitter which doesn't seem to wash off! I hate having to throw products away but being covered in glitter really isn't my thing!

I'm definitely with you when it comes to hating throwing stuff away. Last weekend MrM decorated our bathroom which meant I had to clear it completely. Nothing got thrown away but I kept a Nina Ricci shower gel of Emma's out and told her I would help to UU as the tube is now squishy. Went into the bathroom the next morning without my glasses on and mistakenly applied it as a body lotion rather than shower gel. Not even when I noted the lotion had a gel like texture did I realise nor even when it started to soap up on my skin. It was only whilst sitting in work during the day that I noticed my skin feeling stickier and stickier that I thought I'd better chuck the product out. It was only when I got home and looked at the tube with my glasses on that I noticed it was shower gel!! Altogether now "Should have gone to .........."

I've got a quick (and quite stupid) question I am sure someone will be able to advise me on - got a couple of bottles of Percy and Reed dry conditioner in the stash. I've only used dry shampoo before (batiste). Should I use dry shampoo before dry conditioner or will the conditioner do the same job as dry shampoo? Basically, is it the same as dry shamppo?

I didn't realise that you can buy dry conditioner.

I used to love one of their mascaras as it was similar to Clinique Lash Power but they discontinued it.

Anyway, have finally caught up with thread. Have had some other INs other than the mag freebies.

My feelunique/Groupon order arrived yesterday. So have replacement Benefit Lemon Aid - mine has hit pan - and a Balm Balm Girls lipstick called Ima a Good Kisser. Very nicely moisturising.

Have also placed an order recently with TBS when the flash sale was on the other day for 2 x tea tree cleanser and corn milk mask for Emma. These products all needed replacing.

Am still sitting on the fence re: the LE Limited Edition C&Ps but really shouldn't have had so much expense recently now that Emma is going to Tanzania in the Summer.

Did send an email to Smashbox at the weekend as the Always Sharp Eyeliner I got for Christmas has broken. They have very nicely offered to replace this.

One UU to report: Clinique Take the DAy off Eye Make Up Remover. Have another full size to replace this.

3TAs today, I don't like doing it but a half used bottle of old bubble bath had gone off, and two really old tubes of hair gel that no one in the house uses were binned

Plumpudding - I had no idea that dry conditioner existed - now I'm intrigued...

VALM - Oh no! At least you got a funny story from it!

One IN for me today which was half expected:

Superdrug Naturally Radiant Hot Cloth Cleanser 150ml: I wrote a post a little while back about how I would try this first to see if it is worth it and ever since then, my local store has been out of stock (probably due to it being less than half price at the moment). Managed to grab the last one on the way home from the hospital today - thought I deserved a treat as I got good news from the hospital for a change!

Possibly going to mooch around the shops tomorrow so may have a couple of INs and I still have a Body Shop voucher to use up so we'll see!

I hope everyone is having a good week!

Lots of UU today
L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Hand cream, love this:-) only 17 hand creams now;-)
Wilko original lip balm, great value, does the job
No7 blissful body wash, didn't really like this, 37 shower/bath gels to go:-0

Magpied

UU
Natio Spa Heavenly Hand Cream 20ml from advent calendar. WNB, felt drying after application!
Aveeno Daily Moisturising Lotion 10ml sample. Wmba. Accidentally used it on my face and it caused a major breakout! Should read the packet closer... Great on my legs though...

I'm really at two minds...on one hand I'm really happy that I'm getting UU's, the other half of me is panicking that my stash is dwindling. Strange feeling..

UU:
Lush fairly traded honey shampoo
Guerlain petite robe noire sample

Have a lovely evening ladies!
