    Thanks Elizabeth, would love to join the inventory thread :)

    I have sooo much makeup to use up, over the weekend I threw away a load of pencil eyeliners that I just never used - who needs rock hard blue eyeliners?! Not me!!
    I have to say I have been better for not buying, but I have loads of eyeshadows to use from palettes etc. Even if you wear eyeshadow everyday it takes forever!

    Welcome ChicaBonita.

    Valm -
    what perfume is it you are using? I like the smell of furniture polish but on my furniture mainly:rotfl:

    I have some uu's

    Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish - this was a regular full sized one, WBA and have loads in the stash. I do find I still need a separate eye make up remover with this though.

    Body Shop Ginger Sparkle Shower Gel 250ml - WBA

    My new L'Occitane Violette and Rise de Mai perfume. My Me Sheen is Cherry Blossom and Magnoli!
    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!

    An NBI. A Simon & Tom Foot Treatment Cream. Very elegantly packaged, rather expensive too, a tenner for 50 ml. I've had a serum from this company before and it was really nice.
    Needless to say I was offered this to review after I'd bought the three Aldi urea foot creams, but at least there won't be any more feet related purchases needed for a very long time.

    I have a NBI too. My lovely friend at work brought in some Ted Baker eyeshadows. It's a set of three duos in a gorgeous plastic slip case. I knew Emma would not like the colours however I do and asked if I could have them.

    Oh no VALM you were so looking forward to that perfume too, what a shame.

    AND - that is one expensive foot cream - hope it is amazing.

    Elizabeth - I think I would be too scared to post my numbers on an inventory thread. Is 30 mascaras too many?????????:rotfl:

    It still smells nice. Only saving grace is that I wouldn't attempt to wear Mr Sheen on my skin. :rotfl::rotfl:

    A UU from my PP list :-

    Boots own brand nail polish remover. Only £1 per bottle and already repurchased. Have repainted my finger nails and am wearing Sephora by OPI Break a leg warmer from my Finish 7 by Summer challenge.

    A little UU this morning:

    Eta. Ins:

    Lush ghost shower gel 250g
    Lush American pie shower jelly 240g

    I have four UUs to report. All minis but UUs nonetheless.
    5. L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil mini. WBA. Never thought I would want to spend £20 on a shower gel but I really liked this.
    6. Viktor And Rolf Flowerbomb mini EDT. WNBA. This is far too strong for me.
    7. Eucerin Aquaphor Soothing Skin Balm mini. WNBA. This is like a super thick Vaseline. Used it up on my elbows and heels but it didn't sink in very well.
    8. Ren Frankincense Night Cream mini. WBA. This felt really nice, sank in well and I found the smell really relaxing which is good for a night cream.

    Enjoy your weekend everyone!:)
