    Welcome back seasidedreamer - glad you had a good time.

    Nothing much to report, I repainted my nails last night, I was wearing Essie Eternal Optimist which I love, now I am wearing one of my new LD minis - Plush Pink, its a hot mauvy pink. Did my toes in a glittery red from Mavala.

    I repainted mine last night as well. The OPI glitter lacquer I put on on Thursday had chipped badly. Am now wearing Essie Avehue which is very similar to Plush Pink.

    Saw your LD colours. I also own I love juicy and its a fave.
    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!

    Have been to TKMAXX especially for an Ecotools kabuki brush and have come away only with powder brush and blusher brush despite seeing some lovely OPI and NEOM goodies.

    UU

    Make Your Own Lip Balm Kit - A Christmas pressie that I have just got around to using. It contains all the natural ingredients, plus four little tins to pour the lip balm into. I still had a lot left over, so I decanted some into a few little pots I had lying around. Then I still had some left over so I made it into a solid and rubbed it all over my hands to create a goo, and now I have extremely soft hands. So I got a hand treatment out of it too :D Wouldn't buy for myself, but it makes a cute present. Plus, now I know how easy it is to make lip balm!

    GA 3 bar of hand soaps. They are handmade soaps (allegedly) from Christmas Markets and I was drawn to their smell and look :P So bought many! There is no way I will use all of these. I have only 6 months left in the country before going on travelling so need to step up :P

    Also UU Elegant Touch Rapid Dry for Nails - Useful especially if you are impatient like me. I have another one in stash.

    Thanks for all the best wishes, Ive been for an endosdopy today which wasnt the nicest experience and came back with IN of free Liz Earle cleanse and polish, lovely husband went off to town and got me one too whilst i worked away on the allotment. The amount of dirt I got on my face I probably needed a good scrub:-)

    Ops I forgot I also brought a Lush Brazened honey face mask, Im blaming Hubby for that he was the one who asked me twice if i needed anything from Lush...I didnt but I rarely get to Lush and do love the face masks, I have over 30 bath bomb/bubble slices so steered clear of those.
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    UU: one aerosol type shower gel
    TA: Boots tester shower gel - used for the duration of the test but didn't like the texture. Normally I get good use from the (full sized) test stuff but not this time
    Re-purposed: bottle of Avon Skin So Soft spray oil. Not planning any foreign holidays and unlikely to be needed here so will re-use as hair oil. I've very dry, naturally curly hair and do well with hair oil so will see if this is any good. As a bonus - it fends off mosquitoes so I'm hoping it'll do the same for the local midges!
    Looking ahead
  • No UUs today but my mascara is on it's way out and I don't have one in my stash to replace it with :j
    Have spent a fair while (hours) lovingly "researching" alternatives on the internet but thought I would ask you lovely ladies if you have any recommendations? I seem to have gone from uncontrollable shopping to a complete inability to commit to buying anything! I always wear waterproof mascara as otherwise it just seems to end up under my eyes which is not a great look so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

    Glad I didn't read this before going into TKMAXX then.

    Have cut open my tube of S&G Hand Dream hand cream tonight and there's very little left. Will UUS as body lotion tomorrow.
