Can anyone here recommend an effective concealer which isn't too expensive? I've noticed that mine is nearing the end of the stick so I'll have to get a new one. I don't want to be lumped with the wrong one and it would be great to try something new.

I use this one: http://www.boots.com/en/Collection-Lasting-Perfection-Concealer_1693350/

I'm sure there are more expensive ones, but for me this is hard to beat.

Finally remembered to log back in with the names of the 2 new Essie polishes I bought the other day they were:

Blossom Dandy
Maxilmillian Strasse Her

Will be painting my nails with one them for definite this weekend! I have around 80 polishes, and am extremely jealous of those of you with 100's :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: I clearly have not reformed my evils ways yet. I saw someone on Instagram wearing Essie petal pusher last night and now I really want to get that one.

Anyway, onto better news; my UU's! My PP list for January is officially completed yay :j will see what other things I can UU or make a dent in, and set myself up for some good numbers in February!

Batiste Dropical Dry Shampoo- WBA

S&G Body Buttercream Sugar Crush 300ml-WBA-love the scent if the sugar crush range and like the consistency and moisturising-ness of this product! However no need just yet as I have a tonne of BB's in my stash!!!

Ghost Deep Night 50ml- WBA, love this perfume, and it always reminds me of when I met my BF, as this was the scent I was wearing that night

Hedgesparrow- I think it was you who set acceptable stock levels of different categories of products...think that's a great idea and I will have a think over the w/e and set my own target levels

Morning all

Finally UU a product that I must have been dusting the lid of in my bathroom for years!!

Phytocitrus soin essential nutrition hair mask, ok but just like really thick conditioner that makes your hair feel greasy if you use too much.
Also finished a 200ml tub of Nivea so soft, I use this as moisturiser so it's lasted ages. I do have another big tub and a small sample on so won't run out any time soon.

Have a good day all.

I use Rimmel London Match Perfection 2 in 1 Concealer & Highlighter. I used to use touche eclat but I bought this one day when I couldn't afford the expensive one and I wouldn't go back. This one is much better for me.

Eyebright - I think it's really focused my mind. I keep thinking about how uncluttered the bathroom will be when I get down to my goal amounts. Biggest incentive not to spend ever for me!

I used the Benefit lash primer this morning. My lashes did not look anything like the Benefit model on QVC though!

I thought that would be the case :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Seems like one of those products they've made just to get people to spend more money with them!!

I ordered flower girl dresses from BHS the other day and when they came there was a sample of Garnier Ultimate Blends - The Strength Restorer Serum. I opened it up and as soon as I put it on my hair I fell in love. It made the curls so glossy and perfectly formed. It lasted 3 mornings and has now all gone. A pity that they're not great ethically!!

Lucia - I second the recommendation for Collection Lasting Perfection concealer it is amazing stuff.

UU to report

Sample sachet of Clinique Moisture Surge Tinted Moisturiser - this was hilarious. I'm pretty pale but I thought how dark can a tinted moisturiser be? Well, it was like thick pancake foundation. I looked like I was wearing an orange mask! Then I had to use more cleanser getting it all off again!

L'Occitane are doing another little freebie in the form of a Shea Butter Comforting set if anyone is interested.

Hi ladies - was away travelling loads over the holidays, just got back last Sunday. So not many in's for me as I wasn't about for the sales (phew!) - just a couple of samples my mum collected for me, and a very lovely hair serum things from Redken from my sister for xmas.

I've had a few UUs, but it's been hard to keep track while travelling, and a lot were just small sachets.

The bigger UUs:
- large can of Batiste. WDBA.
- Clinique All About Eyes rich. WDBA, HG.
- Clinique High Impact mascara, mini. WDBA, have already started another.
- Clinique moisture surge sample. Ok, not my favourite (not quite rich enough for me), but happy to use it.

A few other sample serums, moisturisers, body lotions too, but can't remember what.

Right, off to actually read the thread, hope everyone is doing well.
