    Another UU:-

    John Freda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery hair mask. WDBA. Used this again after colour treating my hair at weekend. Don't like the conditioner that is contained within the Colour Creme kit.

    I suppose that's another UU too - hair colour.

    Repainted my nails again last night and I'm wearing OPI I'm Not Really a Waitress again.

    Realised that the John Freda mask is one of my PP list items so here is updated PP list:-

    PP left from Jan :-
    Clynol leave in conditioner
    [STRIKE]OPI Bubble Bath mini[/STRIKE]
    OPI I'm Not Really A Waitress mini
    Vichy eye cream
    Hawaiian Tropic face cream

    New for Feb:-
    LUSH Christingle
    [STRIKE]LE Eyebright
    LUSH Cup of Coffee
    [/STRIKE]Johnsons face cream
    [STRIKE]Frizz Ease intensive hair conditioner
    TBS 3 in 1 mask[/STRIKE]

    I also UUed the last of the L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap and refilled it with Eco Refill bag.
    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!

    Had a sort through my dressing table

    TA
    Neals Yard Remedies White Tea enriching facial mask tester tube – had separated and gone off. No idea how old this is…
    Boots Essentials fragrance free moisturising lotion 150ml. Have had this bottle for years…
    Maybelline eyestudio lasting drama gel liner. WDNBA. Never managed to get a good result with any gel type liners.
    Bourjois Bio detox organic foundation 30ml. WNBA very drying from what I remember. So old it has dried up.
    Hide It concealer palette. WDNBA – absolute rubbish eBay purchase – it actually managed to melt off my double wear foundation and eye makeup. Useless item!

    Not much progress for me, I had to have an unexpected op on my arm last week so I was struggling to even wash my hair for a few days, never mind pamper!

    I have a couple of UU:

    2/17. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Daily Shampoo 300ml - WMBA if on a good deal as this was, but much prefer Tigi

    3/18. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Daily Treatment 300ml - WNBA, leaves my hair feeling as if it has a film on it - even though it looks fine.

    Both of the above replaced with Tigi 750ml bottles so that'll keep me busy for a while, then I'll need to buy as I only have a couple of minis stashed.

    It was my bday at the weekend and DH bought me a lovely S&G set with full size scrub and 5 mini butters - not so good for my numbers but perfect for travelling and we have lots of weekends away planned for this year - one of which was a bday gift!

    I also picked up a 50ml Caudalie cleansing water from Space NK as my bday freebie.

    We go on holiday again in 2 weeks and I need to pack light so will start thinking about which minis to take with me.

    Just finished the Benefit LolliBalm that I found the other week. So glad it's finally gone!!

    I've decided that when all of my 6 by Spring challenge is finished I am going to treat myself to a couple months of the vegan kind box so that I can see what else is out there that I can use.

  • My You Beauty Box arrived today so got some ins to confess. The two items I chose were:

    Kiehls Papaya Scrub - WNBA, just didn't get on with the consistency of this.
    Hourglass mechanical eyeliner - WDBA lasts really well and good pigmentation, bit pricy though. Got more in the stash to use up.

    Couple of ins to announce too.
    2 x Nivea Double effect eye make up remover stuff. Haven't tried this one before but it was on offer. Only had two removers left in the stash and both have very little in them so reckon will both be done this month.

    Barry M matte top coat - hope this will mean I can get through a lot of the varnishes I already have as for some reason I hate shiny,glossy nail varnish at the moment. We'll see!

    Belated birthday wishes Sundaysgirl and hope you soon recuperate from your op.

    Another UU:-

    Smashbox Radiant Lipgloss. Cannot get any more product from this. Still have more old lipglosses that need to be used. Think I have another full sized of this colour too.

    UU
    Nivea eye make up remover - wba - very gentle.

    Lush so white - I like lush products, this one was ok, didn't really smell wintery but was nice enough.

    In
    Johnsons Baby wipes. - everyday essential.

    Proberly more to come, I expect I've got "lost" stuff stashed away which I will come across, I think it's quite a collection for someone who never wore make up which explains why there's so much of it I suppose. I haven't included hair removal in the list such as razors, shaving gel, cream.

    Updating my (uu) list
  • Used up an eye shadow. I can't remember the last time this happened. The Number seven neutral is finished. I have three of the use up before spring completed.

    I only have left Boo Boo bosom buddy
    Eye brow pencil (about half left)
    2 testers of double wear foundation and bobbi brown foundation. I have the mac nw 13 ww foundation finished, lancome and another finished.

    Two more use ups to report:
    2. No7 Protect and Perfect day cream 25ml. I love this stuff but they now only make the intense version so I'll see how I get on with that.
    3. Bomb cosmetics soap bar. This was pink with some gold in and smelled lovely. It lasted ages too. WDBA
