    - had this for Christmas 2013, using most nights have only just finished it! WMBA but feels a bit too heavy atm.

    And quite a few INs - I used the excuse of attending a wedding to buy more makeup - it made me feel a bit better after having stressed about finding something to wear as the dress I planned on doesn't fit anymore...

    Bourjois smoky stories eyeshadow quad
    Bourjois volume glamour ultra curl mascara
    - needed another non-waterproof mascara..
    Loreal Colour Riche lipstick. Took me forever to find the right shade, but this may be a new HG!

    Magpied - I fell in love with a dress that I wanted to wear for an uncoming family wedding. It was hugely reduced (70%, I think) but sold out. I decided I'd wear an old dress and buy a new foundation and maybe a necklace instead. I started to feel quite happy with my new plan. Last night I checked John Lewis and the dress was back - just one and in my size! I bought it and should get it tomorrow. If it fits and I'm happy with it then no new foundation for me :rotfl: I'll have to test everything I have to find which foundation lasts longest. I may have to buy a waterproof mascara to get me through the wedding without panda eyes but I'd say that was necessary...

    Two sachet UUs for me. I'm targeting them as next months challenge:

    Face D 3-Luronics Instant Effect Cream (2ml) - this was amazing! It seemed to tighten, clarify and mattify my skin and left it feeling soft. It's going on my wishlist :D

    Thalgo Thalgomince Cream LC 24 (5ml) - left skin very soft but I'm not sure I 'believe' in cellulite creams so WNB.

    I'm still trying to UU full size things this month but I'd like to clear a sachet a day as well. It should be fun! :D
