    1 UU:

    Montagne jeunesse passion peel off mask- Wnba this has a very strong chemically smell and it makes my eyes sting when it's nowhere near them. The peel off effect was quite satisfying I do like peel off but even though I left it on 15 minutes most of it was still liquid and I had to get off with baby wipes before I went in the shower. Sadly I have more of these in stash :-/ won't buy again though there's other masks by this brand I've liked better.

    First UU for March
    15ml REN F10 Smoothing & Renewing mask sensitive. WBA I need to check to see what other masks are lurking and add them to my spreadsheet. (I don't have time, and too many products, to do a spread straight off, so am updating it gradually:D

    I woke with a horrid cold, so not gone for coffee with friends, but am slathered with face and hair masks, and will shortly having tea and cake on my own and adding hand and foot masks too:D Gotta turn a negative into a positive:D:D

    I'm back for March! My 6 for spring is not going so well. I've only managed to finish one of them so far although I've finished plenty of other things! My aim for March is to finish more make up items as they seem to be my buying weakness more than toiletries.

    Use ups:
    1. Original Source lemon and tea tree shower gel. I love all original source shower gels but have hundreds to get through!

    Ins:
    Two avon matte lipsticks and the GWP of a nail varnish, eyeliner and eyeshadow duo.
  • Another UU:

    Finished off the end of a Heyland and Whittle soap that was in my washbag. Replaced it with a half finished lush sandstone soap from the shower as my husband was complaining there were no "big" (he means giant) bars of soap in the shower.

    This is why we struggle to finish bars of soap. The new, unused bars of soap are too tempting, we put them out alongside the half finished ones and before you know it you have ten bars of soap on the shelf.

    Does anyone collect these tokens? I have a "passport" with 5 tokens on, totalling 23 points. If anyone would like this I would be happy to post to the first person who PMs me their details:D

    I ordered 2 of these to qualify for the GWP too. What did you get. I got the neutral set I think. Love the eyeliner and nail colour but not the eyeshadows so much.

    Have some INs to declare and want these to be the only ones this month really :-

    UD Gwen Stefani blush palette. It looks like this will not be brought back online at John Lewis so I bought it myself from Selfridges today. Can't wait to try them.

    Birchbox has arrived. Some lovely items:-

    Arrow Boost lip balm. Says its colour enhancing but works better on Emma so she can have this.

    Model Co More Brow. This is full size product however as I am really pleased with my current brow product I think I will put this straight onto the Bay.

    Polaar polar night cream. Will try this however have so many night creams to try already. Speaking of which I brought the mini sized Lancôme Genefique out of my stash today to boost the LE skin repar light that I'm using now.

    Indeed labs sheet mask. Excited to try this.

    Amiga nourishing hair mask. Will apply after I colour my hair tomorrow.

    I have also placed an order with feel unique for Murad cleanser, treatment cream and moisturiser for Emma as they are on offer at 33% off.

    Meant to also add that I've really liked my eye make up today. I have used Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Ethereal Gold all over my lids with Sassy from the balm Nude TUde palette in my crease and outer v. Have used NYX milk jumbo eyeshadow crayon in inner corner and to highlight brow bone then blended this out with the white shade from this palette. Have used LG black eyeliner and NYX mascara (can't remember the name but it looks like dupe for Roller Lash).
