I have quite thick hair too but I still like using this; no such thing as too big for me when it comes to hair! I like Elvive too. Am intrigued by the new clay range. Meant to be for greasy roots and dry ends apparently.

Ooh that sounds good I have dry ends/greasy roots. Want to try the extraordinary oil ones too. And one that was sparkly can't remember the name but it's the light pink bottle, want to get that again. Got a few shampoos in stash but will probably get elvive again when they are gone.

ETA: couple more UU.

Alberto balsam blends colour bright shampoo- Wmba as it did smell nice and was quite cheap. It did an okay job. Replaced with Garnier fructis colour care shampoo & conditioner.

H&M strawberry volume hair mask sachet- WBA this does a good job and smells nice. Think I have more of these in my stash.

I have some ins

Laura Mercier Glam To Go Palette
Laura Mercier Daring By Day Palette
Laura Mercier Matt to Metal Caviar Stick set
Rococo glass nail file
Laura Mercier Sweet Temptations Almond Coconut Milk set
Lipstick Queen Three To Captivate lip crayon set

This was all from the Space NK sale and I used some reward points with them too.

Dolly, I googled that Caviar Stick set and am so glad it was sold out. They look absolutely gorgeous.

VALM - they are gorgeous, they are only minis but there is quite a lot of product in each one, I would never have paid full price for them though.

I have a uu

Yes to Carrots Super Rich Body Butter - this is more of a thick cream than a butter imo, but it is really lovely and goes on like a dream and is very moisturising, I have another in the stash and WBA.

Have just been having a look at the reviews on temptalia of them. Do any of you read her blog. She dupes everything so a great way to see if you have any similar shades. I also then remembered that MRM got an email from Birchbox about a new colour stick own brand that they are launching and are sending a free pencil out to all subscribers. There was a choice between gold or champagne colours. I have opted for champagne.

Am in a quandary about that L'Occitane free gift. The only thing I "need" is a liquid soap refill and I don't really need that now as I have a M&S hand wash that can use. These are £13.50. MRM refused to go to the Trafford Centre today and if I travel into Manchester I'll end up spending money on food at least! If I order online I have to spend £30 to get free delivery or pay £3.95 for delivery. It's not a free gift by the time I've done all that is it?

1 more UU from my PP list:D

60 Elizabeth Arden Ceramide Eye Capsules WNBA made my eyes seem smeary, as if I had a film on my specs. Very useful delivery system for holidays/short breaks etc. though. Replaced with a BS Aloe eye cream.

A GA to add too

¾ of a 200ml tube Superdrug Vitamin E hot cloth cleanser. It is OK, but OK is not good enough I am only going to use products that make my skin look and feel great. Added to Refuge package.

Have a great weekend everyone, dry and verging on sunny here:D:D

VALM

Have cleaned the bathroom this morning and earmarked 5 products that should be finished by the end of this movie month:-

LE Skin Repair
L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap (both in kitchen and bathroom)
Philosophy Pumpkin Icing shower gel
Vaseline Spray and Go body lotion
John Freda Frizz Ease conditioner.

Both the Hawaiian Tropic face cream (PP list) and Laura Geller Spackle are in airtight pumps (was this the right term?) and both of the bottoms are near the top. I hope you know what I mean.

I was watching a YouTube vPan That Palette video earlier and realised that it might have been a good idea to take a photo of my MUA palette to track progress so I have done that too.

Gonna go now. Have soup to make.

VALM I know exactly what you mean! I nearly bought stuff to claim the free gift too but I don't actually need anything from L'Occitane so I'm going to try my luck in store today to see if they have any left Again I don't NEED the free stuff but it's free so I may as well add it to my stash!

I finally got round to clearing out my toiletries and my full sized stuff was a normal amount but my travel size toiletries are OUT OF CONTROL! To be fair I probably haven't purchased many of them and I may have acquired most of them from Christmas presents but really I need to use them.

I've then got my usual make up - can't be bothered listing it but wow I was shocked at my travel size stuff. I don't go enough holidays/overnights or go swimming enough to keep these in my stash so once I've finished my current full size items I'm going to work on clearing down my travel toiletries.

Count me in for the 6 by Spring challenge too - i've had a bit of a think and pulled out the following:

- Maybelline dream matte mousse foundation. This should be doable, but I just really want to use my new Clinique foundation The challenge will force me to use this up first.
- Clinique Superpowder x 2. Both almost gone, just need the reminder to actually use them up! And they are really long lasting...
- Clinique superfine liner for brows (01 soft blonde). This is pretty new, but amazing! It's the perfect shade for me, really natural, just a bit of refinement. I need to push myself to use it everyday, and see how long it lasts.
- Ren lipgloss. As I never finish glosses or balms and my lips get dry!
- Urban decay original primer. Have too many primers, need to actually finish one...
- Barry M Chisel Cheeks contour kit. Again, need to push myself to use and experiment with this.

I'm not sure it'll be possible to finish some of them, but I need to at least try!

savingfortomorrow

used up the or thingy by guerlain, wnba tester.
used up clairins mosituriser wnba tester
bb tester estee lauder- not for me wnba it was too dry too sticky.
so saved three mistaken purchases. happy about that- in a strange way.

no in so far today but am heading out. so tired this week, overtime and all that jazz. so planning an early evening and slathering on a face mask.

mrs-moneypenny

A couple of UUs last night, a sample of lovebomb perfume and a sample sachet of Clinique foundation.
I'd forgotten to add these to my list when they arrived just before Christmas so I'm staying neutral.
