    Wow Eyebright that is so lucky.

    I have some ins:

    Essie Summer 2014 minis - there is a turquoise colour, bright orange and hot pink all 4ml.

    Essie Take It Outside (Full size)
    Revlon Vintage Pink Nail Polish
    Revlon Sequin Nail Polish (not the colour I thought it was so will keep it as a gift for DD's friends)
    Nailoid 10 in 1 Care
    Nailoid Cuticle Care

    Tanya Burr Lipgloss in Champagne Toast, Daydream, Berry Picking, Vampire Kiss, Let's Travel The World, Picnic in the Park and Enchanted Forest.

    None of these were expensive. I don't actually like lipgloss on the whole but do like these particular ones.

    Another UU this morning:

    Wilko chic dark plum & sugared rose roll on deodorant - WBA I believe these may be my new HG deodoeant. The scent is really really lovely and it does a great job for the price. Lasts a decent amount of time. And only 80p I think. Bargain, reccomended!! I have a couple of these in 2 other scents to UU but I think next time I'm in Wilko will defo stock up on this one for sure.

    Eta the lush Rosie set came so that's more ins. Another rose jam, Jason shampoo bar, rose jam bubbleroon, ros Argan body conditioner, tisty tosty bath bomb.

    Lush people, the ros body conditioner.., I assumed it was a body lotion, is it actually like a shower product? Like a thick shower cream? It says to use it on wet skin? Is it basically like those in shower moisturisers you can now get? Never used anything like that before but it does smell nice.

    Also got some lush sample ins with my lush order, a sample of serendipity soap, a foot powder and something else I can't remember! 3 samples anyway.

    Thanks everyone, I'm certainly feeling very lucky at this moment.

    I have 6 INs to declare, popped into The Original Factory Shop this morning, as can quite often get some nice make up and nail varnish at discount prices. Anyway they had some Essie mini sets, 3 x 5ml nail varnishes for £3. So I bought 2 which had colours I liked in! Didn't really need anymore nail varnish, but they are minis at least, so hopefully I can work through them a bit quicker. My toes could do with being repainted, so might do that this evening and try one of my new colours out!

    Dolly they had Tanya Burr lip glosses and varnishes in The Original Factory shop if you have one near you. I think they were £1-1.50 each :) The only lipglosses I really like atm are the Nyx Butterglosses. I hate really goopy, sticky lipglosses, but these are lovely and creamy yet not sticky at all. Only downside is I have to order them from Boots online.

    UU

    Dead Sea Minerals Face Mask - sachet - WNBA, couldn't last the whole 10-15 minutes it states as the smell reminded me of toilet cleaner :(

    For those who don't like sticky lip glosses I can recommend the Lanolips Lip Ointments with SPF 15. I'm using the Rhubarb one at the moment and I'm impressed; it's more like a lipstick.

    Yes the Ro's conditioner is an in shower body lotion. I have Christingle at the moment which is the same sort of product.
    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 you ever bought makeup from QVC. At least with them you have a 30 day money back guarantee.

    thanks valm, I never thought of it, I used to love watching it years ago. hope that the lush was replaceable!

    congrats eyebright, well done for sharing as thing of how many you made feel pampered.

    dolly- isn't that happy feeling great when a product is used up, that looked like it would never end.

    finished nuxe honey shower cream- would not buy again. had a massive declutter as gave loads away, found loads of clothing kept side and moved the charity bag to boot of car. found a concealer, lip balm and something else that was rotten- straight to bin (some cosmetics were not great to start and could not be used again ever.)

    Eyebright - I don't have one of those shops nearby but have been in one before. I don't find these particular glosses gloopy they sort of just stay in place, I paid £1.15 each for them.

    WeAreGhosts - I have the rose coloured Lanolips, it is very nice in the way it feels on the lips.

    Another small UU- this time of the Dr Brandt Glow Ruby crystal retinol hydracreme sachet 1ml. WMBA- it was hard to tell if this does much as I only got 2 uses out of the sachet. The full size is really expensive, so I would want to know more about what it does for my skin before I took the plunge and bought it! It was nice and sank into the skin beautifully though.

    The vitamin E moisturiser is soooo close to being UU! Might finally get to declare it tomorrow :rotfl:

    I feel like I'm not getting through anything at the moment! No more UUs to report sadly. I'm going away for a couple of days next week, and I know as much as I resist I'll probably end up coming back with more hotel shampoo/body wash bottles :o
