Going pretty well... I was nominated to UU a product I didn't like, which I have chosen my Benefit foundation. I think I'm on course for it and will be very excited for it to be gone!!

I have been rather naughty and bought the Beauty Mouth/Cult Beauty Dream box, I will put any Christmas money towards it, so that will soften it a little:o 6 items to declare in a few days time.
I have decided that I need to list everything that I have (not felt the need before) and then make a list of the things that I will be allowed to buy in 2016 (deo, toothpaste etc., plus things that I physically run out of. I would like to have 1 in use and 1 spare of HGs only (expensive items so need to be able to seek out good offers), other things like shampoo, conditioner, shower gels just one in use will be fine, a massive amount of my stash has been gifts, but I only exchange Christmas and birthday gifts with one friend now, so don't have the amount of stuff entering the house, so that should help.
Having made my declaration to all you lovely people, I have to stick to it now! I hope that I will be as successful as Dolly84 has been this summer:D There will always be things calling out to be tried, but they will have to wait for a year at least as I seem to have a good range of products that do not upset my sensitive skin at last.
Sorry for the essay, I think my light has been switched on, I am comfortable with spending the £195 for the box, as I don't go out much, drink etc., but cannot keep buying other things as well:D:DThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -

Just seen that ncrowd (like groupon) have gone out of business. :eek: I have £84.95 credit from them as a 2 night break ended up being cancelled due to hotel being flooded. ncrowd said it was outwith their 14-day refund policy so would only credit my account.:mad:
I paid through my credit card in July. Anyone know how I can get my money bcak? :mad:Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

2 UU to report:
Pink soap bar- WBA but I don't know what make this was, it was just a regular sized oval pink soap bar that just smelled of the traditional soap scent. I'd had it a while. It was a decent soap and not too drying and I did like the nice clean regular soap smell!! dont need anymore soaps anyway as I have quite a few so just as well I can't remember where I got it from.
Aldi Lacura aloe fresh roll on deodorant- WBA but would try another scent next time as theres a few. this did a good job smelled fresh and lasted a while.
Got a small In too that I've been wanting to try:

I am in again this month as I didn't really have a good month in November. I am aiming to use up as much as possible between now and Christmas Eve as I know I will receive a lot of new items Christmas Day.
UU's so far...
Johnsons Talc. WBA as I like the scent and it can found fairly cheaply.
Rhianna Rebel de Fluer Perfume 50ml. WBA as this was a really nice perfume that you could smell all day and I received numerous compliments when I was wearing this.
Loreal Elvive Thickening Shampoo - WMBA - I don't think this really did much for me although it lathered really well and my hair did feel clean after I had used it.0 -
