    This is good to know thanks. Emma loves these. I spotted above that another poster had finished one of these. I wonder how long it takes.

    That was me! It normally takes me 2 - 3 months to finish one if I'm using it a few times a day but I tend to have two on the go (one at home and one in my work bag).

    Painted my nails with Nails Inc Foil, Chelsea Bridge Road. I feel like C3P0 from Star Wars. Or TinMan from Oz.

    Ciate Base coat and Essie GelSetter for the top as well.

    Me again!

    A little UU this morning:
    The Organic Pharmacy double rose rejuvenating face cream 3ml. This was nice and gentle, not too overpowering a scent. I'm not sure I'll buy the full size though it's expensive!

    VALM check out the look magazine this week there is a 20% off in it for elemis - I saw it in Sainsbobs today
  • I'm on a mission to use all the products and gift sets that I have in my bathroom. I will write my list when I have 30 minutes to go through all the drawers. I have plenty of creams, shower gels, bubble baths and soaps.

    Waves at Birdnersophie, Fiasco55 and everyone else. Welcome back Suzitiger:hello:

    Really glad it is the weekend.
    Have you all seen, LUSH have a 1kg Snow Fairy:eek::eek::eek: I won't be buying even though I love snow fairy, Id rather stick with 500g bottles, 1kg with never it in the cupboard!

    Oh dear I do own a 1kg bottle of Lord of misrule ( I love the fragrance)

    Valm, I have only used milky bath bubble bar in its previous format and have a couple of these in my stash so I will try them at the weekend.

    INS
    1 Sure maximum deodorant

    UU's
    4) Lush Happy hippy shower gel 100g WNBA nice enough, I got this in a swap. Very thick consistency and I used it a few times as a shampoo which worked well.

    5) LushBlue skies and fluffy white cloud bubble bar WBA HG still a favourite.

    6) La roche posay redermic R I have a few more sample sized ones left but I want to try others and have a higher strength retinol cream in the fridge.

    7) Lush yog nog bath ballistic WBA very sweet in scent, nice enough but not a favourite and it is expensive, have 1 more in stash.

    8) My beauty diary ultra nourishing sheet mask WBA very good fit and it stayed on my face really well. Slightly scented and skin very smooth after.
  • Hi everyone, thanks for the welcomes!!

    One UU for me so far. A Rose queen BB. Would buy again but it's been discontinued. I have 3 more I've stashed though :-D

    I also nearly UU one of my rose bubble bars. I love the rose scents from Lush.

    I did see the 1kg snow fairy! Amazing. They have more of those big bottles online ;)
    Don't turn a slip up into a give up:D

    Googled this colour and it looks gorgeous. Foil colours generally don't suit my skin tone.
    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!

    4.TBS Shea eau de toilette
    5. Boots Natural Collection concealer

    6. Mitchum advanced 48HR protection Deo
    WDBA - a HG product that keeps me feeling fresh.

    7. Givenchy Very Irresistible Sample
    nice enough but I didn't fall in love with this

    8. Nail varnishes
    8 different varnishes in various states of separation thrown away. I virtually never paint my nails, and when I do it tends to be a muted pink or french manicure. If and when I do replace any of these, it would be with a better quality brand (e.g. essie) than what I have thrown away.

    My fight against the samples, travel sizes and splutterers goes on!
