    Made an order with Clarins today for their new self tan drops for body and a day cream. Was just going to buy the self tan at B00ts with points but saw an offer on Twitter where if you spend over £60 you get a gift set and 7 samples rather than the usual 3! I don't need the day cream right now as I'm working through samples but will open it maybe next month. Will report all ins when they arrive!

    A small use up: Lush honey bee bath bomb. Lovely scent, just not sure about the bath rather turning yellow! :D wmba

    Also, a use up/give away: hydraluron sheet mask. I do facials on my mum and used this on her, I find I can use them twice as they are so saturated with product so she had kept it to use again :)

    So from watching YouTube use up videos I am now at 51 for the month
    I gave items 22-50 to someone I know who is doing beauty at collage . This included 8 blushes but I still seem to have about 15 :/ plus a few of the nyx pearl eye shadows as I have dupes in other brands ... Still have way over 100 loose eye shadows
    51. Sanctuary spa body scrub 200ml -WBA .

    I like the idea about prices but can't remember a lot of them . Possibly as much as 1000on current stash way over for what's already been thrown away or gifted to others (make up palettes, beauty creams etc ) will have a look through posts and try and figure out this years spends tho ;p
    £365 a year spend challenge - this has included food/clothes/beauty?? who knows where I am
    20,000 step a day challenge

    Here is the link to the offers page http://m.clarins.co.uk/special-offers/specialoffers/ I believe the offer is on until the 27th or while stocks last. The free gift is worth £59 so excellent value! :money:

    LOL it's only now I've reread the clue in your post I've figured it out Fizz. I was trying to think of English rivers like Thames and Severn. Sussed it now.

    My initial problem was missing out the "a" when I read the post and spent a long time trying to think of synonyms for "big" and "river" and making them fit together :rotfl: I think it was very smart Maddie, you've made us all work hard and if we do decide to treat ourselves, at least we'll feel as though we've earned it!

    I just had to have a lie down, I've just totted up the value of my liquid foundations and its £140+ :eek: That's not counting any other vase products, if I included powder foundations, concealers and other base products I bet I could break £400. That's shameful :(

    oooh that's a tempting Clarins offer.

    2 UUs - Lola Rose calming amethyst hand lotion - lovely smell WMBA
    mousse (can't remember the name) but WNBA

    I can see a few things getting low so maybe there will a flurry of UUs at the end of the month, it's been very slow otherwise!

    Like the idea of adding up the cost of my stash but I'm terrified! I reckon the cost of all my make up would be at least a thousand! NEED to use stuff up and have a sort out. Today is the day!

    FizzWhizz was it you who bought one of the new Loreal nude palettes? How is it? I was very tempted but am trying to talk myself out of it - i do not need anymore eyshadow!

    Totted up the value of the items I currently have out for daily use (or in my travel kit / backpacks), and it comes to £134.33. That includes 3 partial bottles of perfume - 2 inexpensive for day-to-day use, and 1 expensive for weekends/nights out (that one alone is almost £27 of my total figure)

    Still need to do my 'already open but not in current use' and 'unopened' lists which are bigger and even bigger respectively :o
