    UU's
    52) Mirum collagen real nature sheet mask WNBA the first sheet mask that made my skin tingle and not in a good way, removed and binned. It's the only one of these that I have.

    53) Mediheal dress code black sheet mask WBA beautiful, saturated with gem stones on. It agrees with my skin and looks hydrated after use.

    54) j'adore perfume 100ml WMBA I got bored of this perfume but do like it. Have a bottle of twilight targeted currently to use up and another bottle of Lord of Misrule nearly finished.

    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    Back from a weekend away in sunny Barcelona:) Small UU of Pink Inc body lotion to be fair I couldn't be bothered to take products with me except sun cream so UU are coming slowly. Getting bored with open products though so might have to open some new things
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • Some progress on the Lists. I think I understood my own limitations much better in the June project pan one!

    7 by Summer, which has been a tough one:
    [STRIKE]1. Nivea Cleanser[/STRIKE]
    2. Boots Mango Body Butter
    3. Prestige blusher in Pink (retired till I have winter skin again - too pale for now)
    4. Clinique mini lipstick in Nude Pop
    5. One eyeshadow from No 7 mini palette
    6. 17 gel effect nail varnish in Long Island
    [STRIKE]7. Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo[/STRIKE]

    Then June Project 10 Pan - most of these should be do-able and yes, some duplication with 7 by summer:
    [STRIKE]1, Dove Fig & Pomegranate body wash[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]2. Nivea Facial Cleanser
    3. Nivea roll on deodorant [/STRIKE]

    4. A hand cream - I have two with good progress
    [STRIKE]5. Hit pan on an eyeshadow[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]6. Rimmel Stay Matte foundation [/STRIKE]
    7. Vichy Aqualia Serum - nearly there
    8. Givenchy Ange ou Demon
    9. Boots Mango body butter - just a scraping left
    10. No 7 Aftersun (will try not to burn but to use it anyway!)

    I mysteriously lost all my lipsticks and lip balm, hunted for them for two weeks to no avail, so yesterday I caved to two INs:
    Palmers Cocoa butter lip balm (HG)
    Max Factor lipstick in Raisin

    Then I found them all inside a handbag I don't use very often - two hours after getting home from Boots. :rotfl:

    Also INs:
    Palmers Cocoa butter shampoo
    Palmers Cocoa butter conditioner
    These smell gorgeous though they make my fluffy hair fluffier (which is a bad thing)

    I'm in for 7 by autumn (I saw someone calling it 7 Summer Flings which I quite liked) - will think about my products more carefully for this one!

    My 7 by summer update, haven't done as well as I thought I would.


    1 - UU - OPI Miss Piggy's big Number
    2 - OPI Cement the Deal Mini, changed to OPI Kermit me to speak, still going strong
    3 - Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Colour in Glinda. Classing as a UU as now scrapping it out with a lip brush, I'm positive it will be UU in the morning anyway.
    4 - Benefit Coralista Blusher (from the cheeky sweet spot palette), Again classing this as UU had to scrape off the ruminants into a loose powder this morning in order to UU, will use the last of the "crumbs" in the morning.
    5 - Urban Decay Factory Eye shadow (from Naked 3 Palette), didn't manage to UU
    6 - Urban Decay Brightening and Tightening primer potion - Classing as UU as should be UU tomorrow.
    7 - Urban Decay Baked Cowboy Eye shadow from the Shadow box, again didn't manage to finish this one.


    Will post a 7 by Autumn list tonight/tomorrow. Is it ok if I have more than 7 items?

    I have heard of this but it is expensive for what it is, why would a friend buy you this. :rotfl: I make my own for under £1.00. If you want to make your own let me know and I will post how.

    No UU for me yet but have an IN, a bag of Epsom salts reduced in boots.

    I know, I thought it was odd when she bought if for me. It has been UUed this morning. Would love your recipe. x

    Love Barcelona. One of my favourite cities. Could imagine myself sitting at the top of Parc Guell in the sunshine.

    I am terrible for doing this also.

    Well done on finishing Coralista. I love the sound of the Baked Cowboy colour.

    One more UU: sample size of Philosophy Pure Grace fragrance. Love this and have full size.

    Small UU. One of the Garnier hand creams that was an NBI. This one had honey in it, and was used up as foot cream as it was perfectly good for that purpose. I have another one spluttering that had cocoa butter in it.
    WIB? It's fine, but I rub so much stuff in every morning (and some in the evening) that I rarely use hand cream, my hands don't really need it.

    My Manuka Doctor foot cream has disappeared under the bed, I think. It's an adjustable bed and weighs a ton, but I'll have to unearth the cream shortly.

    I've made a concerted effort to use more lip balm, snag is, I have quite a few, (Carmex x 4 -two pots cherry and plain, two tubes ditto- , Burts' Bees, So, Aldi Lacura, Maybelline), that they are all going down very slowly. All except the Aldi Lacura were NBI's.
    I didn't accept the latest lot of lip balm I was offered...!
