    . Will carry on using my already open Macadamia Oil Deep Repair Mask that I love love love!

    I keep looking at this on TKMaxx etc as my hair is slightly dry. It isn't really pricey either. I might have another look :P

    Oooh, I must try this - I have very long hair too, and am always on the look-out for good conditioners. My current favourite is Toni&Guy Nourish Reconstruction Mask, which is often on offer in Boots, so I'll then buy 2 pots, then use them both really quickly :)

    I flipping love it fixx, slap it on from sort of ears downwards and leave it on for a few minutes then as I rinse it out it sort of lightly coats the rest of my hair leaving it all bouncy and wonderful and it smells AMAZING!

    Finally a UU for June. Pukka Rose face cream - WBA if the price was right. Now onto a Laid Bare moisturiser.

    My Benefit Porefessional is spluttering too.

    May be a quick post and run today ladies but I wanted to come on and report that I've looked at the TSV and still felt meh. So on the way into work I had a look at the new collection due out in August and may get a couple of those in the US as it looks like I don't have anything similar to them. Result, eh? Plus the only shows on QVC today are at 4.00pm - still in work and 10.00pm - my bed time.

    Do also have three UUs from the PP list:-

    Mark Hill Straightening Serum Spray - WDNBA. Got this in a kit in the Jan Sales at Boots probably a couple of years ago. I am very lazy when it comes to styling my hair and it's a chore for me to use any product. Do prefer the cream version of this though and think I still have one in.

    LE Eyebright Lotion - WDNBA. Only used this as it came in a kit. Was using it as an eye make up remover which I don't think it's primarily designed for so not it's fault that it didn't perform that well. Anyway, it's gone.

    LG Spackle. HG product. Have another in the stash. Think this huge size lasted me 6 months so here's hoping I don't have to repurchase this before Christmas.

    My PP list for June now looks like this:-

    Umberto Gianini dry shampoo [STRIKE]x 2
    Liz Earle Eyebright
    Mark Hill straightening serum
    Liz Earle IBST
    LE Skin Repair moisturiser
    Elemis PCMC
    Avon foundation
    LG Balance N Brighten
    LG Spackle
    LOccitane jasmine and bergamot soap
    Soap and Glory righteous butter.
    [/STRIKE]

    I really hadn't realised that I only have the dry shampoo left. Pesky thing. 6 days to go though!!

    Re: My 4x4 challenge I realistically think I'm only going to finish off the lipgloss the tube of which I am folding up concertina style to squeeze product out which means I'm getting a lot of product each squeeze!

    My Cargo blush has gone down considerably but still has probably a month's worth of use in it. The Bobbi Brown Shell shadow which I admit I haven't used every day as I've been mixing it in with pallettes is still going strong.

    Have a good day ladies.
    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!

    Blueberry & Dark Chocolate lip balm sounds delicious.

    No movement here but I did repaint my nails last night, I did my toes in No7 Cheeky Chops and fingers in Models Own Goose Eggshell.

    I love the Macadamia mask too, it is pricey I find, I have a 500ml pot and it wasn't cheap. The Morocconoil one is nice too.

    Morning
    Having predicted a month of UU, it's not really panned out like that! But here are a few
    Vita Liberata luxury tan - WMBA - didn't smell of biscuits, was fairly convincing colour and is the first self tan I've ever actually finished. I've got another in the stash.
    Balance me wonder eye cream - WMBA - but I'm yet to meet an eye cream I'm really impressed with
    Space NK Laughter Body Lotion - WBA - love the smell but got loads of body lotion in my cupboard

    I'd love to try some Morrocan oil products, I think they would suit my hair, but they are pricey and I've got too much other stuff to justify splurging.

    I watched In the bathroom with Caroline Hirons last night and was frustrated by not being able to see what all the products were. And a bit envious. And also relieved my stash wasn't as full as that. I would find it stressful! Her husband must be very understanding.

    Macademia is discounted on Amazon currently and I have noticed it is cheaper than TKMaxx (at least from the shop I visit).
    Looks like I have seen discounted prices and thought it wasn't that bad but full price isn't cheap indeed :)
    I'm ordering shampoo and mask now as I will need to buy shampoo soon anyway and have Amazon vouchers. I hate using Amazon but ah well.

    asajj - I hate using Am*zon too but sometimes find it's the only solution! If someone bought you the vouchers maybe it's not too bad?
  • Morning ladies!

    Three UUs for me:

    Impulse Tease 75ml: This used to be my HG but now I'm sick of the scent - WNBA.
    Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream 20g: There was nothing creamy about this foot cream! It was a horrible oily, sticky gel and I hate the smell of coconut so, unsurprisingly, I WNBA.
    L'occitane Verbena Soap 25g: Nice scent but wouldn't pay full price for it. I'm not overly keen on solid soaps anyway as I only get them as freebies so WNBA.

    I hope everyone is having a good week!
