    IN:
    Too Faced Better Than Sex Mascara mini, Chocolate Soleil Bronzer mini, Shadow Insurance Primer mini, La Cr!me Lipstick in 'Naked Dolly' mini via the 'Love Me Beauty' box being plugged by TalkBeckyTalk on YouTube. Think it cost me about £10 after her discount code (and me adding an extra sample) - but I'd happy spend £10 on a small kit of those products as I'll use them all (and handy for travelling).

    OUT:
    Bought myself a new Emma Hardie cleansing balm on the M&S 20% off day - I can't justify £28 for a cleanser anymore and I need to get that in my head so I'm going to return it today.

    PS I've got about 3 unopened Aussie conditioners - I think I must have gotten a good deal on sets including a shampoo because I don't like the conditioner - are they of any use to anyone here?

    I bought one of these boxes last month for £5 plus p&p but I cancelled the next one straightaway as I didn't like the payment setup and they say you can cancel or skip a month on their site but the options don't come up so I cancelled my paypal order.

    I have a couple of last minute uu

    Benefit Benetint - this was a mini and still lasted ages. I have been using this product for many years and a full size lasts a couple of years with daily use. The only thing I don't like is if you use the brush it picks up foundation and makes the rest of the product cloudy eventually, you could wash the brush off but that would be messy. WBA though as it looks so natural.

    Avon SSS Shower Gel with Watermint - this has gone in the kitchen handwash dispenser. Nice but it had a disappointing watermint scent.

    Clinique High Lengths Mascara - GWP size - this is lengthening but not volumising, I liked it but did manage to get it on the inner part of my eyelid quite often due to the weird brush.

  • Hi city_girl_258 no I think the sisley mask came in an advent calendar. But I have got the one from the J Lewis box (didn't know about the box - quite tempted) and I am hoping for better things from that

    Have just used this and MRM said "you smell nice. Smell like grapefruit ". You obviously both have more discerning noses than me.:rotfl:

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    That's so odd! At least grapefruit is quite a Spring-like scent :D

    maddiemay - lovely to see you :) I really liked that ESPA Lift and firm eye serum as well. I was surprised as it was such a runny formula but it definitely made a difference to my eye area. I hope your nails are back to normal soon so you can really enjoy your new polishes :)

    sam.4000 - I have no idea how you'd even begin to make 3 gallons of parsnip wine! :eek: Hope the clear up isn't too awful.


    I have a terrible craving for chocolate or junk food today and there isn't anything in the house that helps. I don't have the energy to go out either so I hope the feeling goes away soon...

    Not to long thank you, it already bubbling along nicely but it will be a year before it will be drunk.

    I'm having a clear out so 4 lipsticks out. I will never wear these again. They were a mixture of GWP and comp wins.

    Also binned two eye shadows that I won't wear.

    Having a great night decluttering!

    A final UU for the month.

    Finished a tiny (from a hotel room) bottle of shower gel that I'd put into my gym kit.
