I have a couple of uu's but they are only sachets

Tresemme Hair Oil (can't remember the exact name) it smelt nice but there wasn't enough in there to form an opinion, I have dry, curly hair which needs a good dose of oil.

Chanel Le Beiges Foundation - this was very nice, I got two applications from the sachet and the colour match was excellent for a change, it went on beautifully and lasted well all day which you would expect. The name of it is healthy glow something but I didn't notice any glow though.

Repainted my nails last night with Butter London Dahling which I love a lot.

I have had several NPI's over the last few days, the first was the S&G kit which went down to £25, I didn't want it when it was £30 so I don't know what difference the extra fiver made. I resisted though. Then it was the Smokey Poppy range in TBS which I love the smell of, next was the Lush online sale, I rarely buy from Lush and have never shopped in the sale and I think everything is overpriced so I don't know what that was all about. Lastly it was a Stila palette reduced from £49 to £18, a total bargain if I didn't already have a lifetimes supply of eyeshadow, it contained 12 eyeshadows I think and 4 blushers and a mini mascara. It sold out in the end so that sorted out that problem:eek:.

Hi dolly I googled your Butter London colour and it does look Devine. Did a little search on eBay and found that Superdrug have an outlet on there. Thankfully your colour was not available but there are some nice colours if anyone wanted them.

I have repainted my nails and am wearing OPI Tickle My Francey.

Can NYX be bought in store now? I keep reading really great reviews on make up alley. I have 2 X baked blusher X which I love, their eyebrow kit which the Jury's still out on and a mascara which I've only used a little.

No, I don't think so

Selfridges had a pop up event in store in December, not sure if it's still there or not. I had a look when I was in London to do Xmas shopping. Then I decided what I liked and treated myself to them by ordering online with Boots, so I could use my points and get them for "free", as it were.

I wish they would start carrying the line in store. It's fab!

I know they have a NYX stand in the Manchester Arndale store which is a permanent fixture. Not sure if they have them in any other stores though, I know Warrington Golden Square doesn't.

Finally decided on my 6 by spring products. Not sure whether I can use them up by the end of March, but will give it a go!

1) Lord & Berry black eyeliner pencil- this is tiny stub now, so should def be able to use it all up

2)Bare Minerals Brow Pencil- universal taupe. Barely used this, so we will see! I don't need to use much on my brows, as they are quite thick anyway, but I'm not keen on it, so if I can get this used up and gone that would be great!

3) Rimmel Scandaleyes eyeliner pencil in nude. I use this everyday in my waterline to brighten my eyes, and I've used 1/3 of it. Don't need to use much of this, but will start taking it to work with me, so I can touch up with it throughout the day, see if that helps speed it along!

4)Bare Minerals Marvellous Moxie lip gloss in the shade go getter. I've had this for a little while now, hard to tell how much has been used as the tube is smeared with gloss, but it's maybe half empty? It's a nice nude spring kinda colour to my mind, so should start tp get more use out of it as the days get longer and brighter!

5)Monu illuminating primer- 20ml sample size. It's OK, I'm not wowed by it, and again just want to get it used up and out of my collection!

6)Elf concealer in the shade Rosy Beige. This shade isn't quite a colour match for me, it's a bit light for covering blemishes etc. Not sure how the formula will work under my eyes, as they are quite dry and prone to creasing etc, but am going to try using it under them from tomorrow. There really isn't all that much left in the tube, so I'm hopeful of using it up before the deadline!

I have finished a total inventory of my make up, nail varnish and beauty stuff and have 330 items.

3. Eyes: No7 Amazing Eyes Pencil in brown. I have two of these on the go again half used.

4. Lipsticks: OMG I have so many of these in use so will try and use up the following: No7 Moisture Drench Highland Mist, No7 Moisture Drench Mulberry, No7 Stay Perfect Lip Laquer Chilli and No7 High Shine Lip Gloss.

5. Nails: Cutex Acetone Free Nail Varnish Remover, Sesationail Nail gel remover and Elegant Touch Nail Remover - all three are usedwith the Cutex about 1/5th left so that will be my first target.

Finally got around to doing the count
i have a total of 21 items that are mainly skin care. I am surprised as i thought it would be more.

They are all fairly full so i dont think that i will be able to use any up by the end of the month.

Evening. In bed early to read and wind down before going back to work tomorrow.

INS
1&2) 2 x dry shampoo from Asda (£1 each) no idea what they are like.

UU's
15 star dust bath ballistic WMBA first time I have used this bath bomb, nice enough, vanilla scented with bits in the centre which I did not expect. I do think I need a rest from bath bombs as I am fed up of cleaning the bath out.

16 nature republic sheet mask WNBA good fit but it leaves a sticky residue that never sinks into the skin so I need to tone after to remove the residue. These worked out at less that 40p each delivered so I not too fussed, I do have about another 20 of them to use up.

17, Lancôme hydra zen sample 15 ml wnba for some reason the last bit has been sitting in my draw for months, I found it too heavy for my skin but I have finally used it up as a night cream.
