    I have finished my decanted 30ml PCMC. Depotted another 30ml from the 100ml pot I own. Hopefully this stash will last until Christmas.

    Not feeling great today. Yesterday we discovered that we have dry rot in our living room. Got very little sleep worrying about what the cost of treating that will be especially now that we have just booked a holiday.

    shandyclover - happy birthday. Sorry to hear about your job, hope you get something sorted soon.

    VALM - hope you get the dry rot sorted easily.

    I have a uu although there is still a bit left

    Talika Photo Hydra Day Cream 50ml - probably a weeks worth left but I'm not using it, when I apply my make up it balls up which is not a good look. WNB, it came in a beauty box so didn't buy in the first place as an individual item.

    Called into TK Maxx yesterday but just came home with a This Works candle in Lavender & Roman Camomile.

    Yay, a few more UUs, including some I've had for aaaages!

    - Carrefour acetone free nail polish remover. WNBA - I don't like acetone free polishes :P I think I only bought this as it was cheap (while I was out in France over the winter) Didn't smell great either.
    - Nip+Fab Tummy Fix. WNB. A friend gave it to me as it did nothing for her. Not sure it did anything for me either! Still used it all, but fairly pointless.
    - Cowshed cow pat hand cream. WMBA. First hand cream I've finished in aaaages! Yay :) Actually really nice. Sinks in well, nice light smell. Definite purchase option for when I get through the stash.
    - Skin Doctors eyetuck eye cream. WNB. I don't actually have bags under my eyes anyway, think I got this from a beauty box. Anyway, stung my eyes a little, so used it up on my neck. Still not great, and didn't last very long (15ml, so a decent size for eye cream) - poor value for money.

    My cupboard is starting to look a lot emptier and more ordered, so I'm feeling pretty good :)

    I tried a different colour of Nails Inc gel effect polish (Soho Place - a nice aqua/green colour), and it's lasted really well! So I'm reserving judgement I have plenty of pinks though, so I'm happy to GA the pink one that chipped/peeled really quickly anyway. It wasn't my favourite pink colour.

    I find it odd that different colours of the same formula vary in lasting power you would expect them to be the same.

    Yep, I agree. I'm not sure what the issue was, but as I'm not that fussed by the colour anyway (the pink that chipped/peeled) I can't be bothered to experiment with it any more :p

    I have a normal Nails Inc formula on at the moment, put on a couple of days ago. It's fine, and one of my favourite colours (I'm running low on it though) - queensgate terrace, a nice muted blue.

    A load of INS here, popped into Boots for a hair mask so Botanics Radiant Colour 3 Minute Intensive Treatment. Then I collected a parcel from the Post Office...bumper load of face masks to trial from Buzz Agent, so also in:
    Loreal Pure Clay Detox Mask
    Loreal Pure Clay Glow Mask
    Loreal Pure Clay Purity Mask

    Used the Glow mask and my skin feels lovely and soft and looks brighter:T
    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

    I have a uu

    Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Cream 200ml - this is lovely and I would happily use again but wouldn't buy at full price or anywhere near. I have another in the stash.

    and a GA to charity shop

    Illamasque Nail Polish in Faithful - this is brown with a bit of shimmer but I don't like the tone of brown. It came in a beauty box or something and I have tried it a couple of times and it needs to go.

    Repainted my nails last night with Leighton Denny Plush Pink which I do love.

  • Morning everyone :)
    Another UU - garnier miracle sleeping cream WNBA.
    I'm glad to see this go for some reason made my forehead bumpy not quite spotty though.
    A lot of things on my list are lasting a lot longer than I thought!

    Painted my nails and toes last night Aloha from Opi - a lovely neon red

    Hope everyone is doing well
