    Hi ladies. Another item gone from my 7 by Autumn challenge. OPI Piroutte my Whistle. Yes, I'm calling time on this. Applied it last night and it is nothing but gunk. I don't think any more nail polish thinner is going to help. WNBA. Have other glitter polishes that I prefer. My face is OPI Snow Globetrotting. Have repaintied my nails this morning and am wearing OPI I Theadora You.

  • UU'd 1 of my 2 packs of the wilko functional face wipes. Now I only have 1 sealed pack left.

    Only have a couple of the Simple eye makeup remover wipes left in 1 pack then will move on to my last sealed pack of those.

    I am currently doing this thing where, because I don't actually wear makeup very often at all, I use the eye makeup remover wipes to clean my eye area and the wilko wipes to clean the rest of my face.

    :)

    Gemzie - that is awkward timing with the house move, hope it all goes OK. I was thinking about you yesterday when I was flicking through the Avon book, they currently have those pots of hair mask in the sale brochure at 80p each, there were two types..

    Haha dont tell me that, what an insane price. Cant order anything until moved sadly. But will grab sone if they are still available when moved as i go through these quickly. Nearly finished the one im currently using!

    Been MIA for the last 2 months due to getting married, going on honeymoon and then getting glandular fever. I'm now recovering from the latter so thought I'd join in again!

    Haven't had very many out's as I haven't been wearing any make up as I haven't had the energy to put anything on my face. Also been slacking of the moisturising etc front. Now I'm feeling better I'm determined to get back on top of it all as I was going through things well. I did venture down to my local superdrug one day to see what they had left in their B. collection and got a lipstick, powder, a pack of face wipes and 3 pallets for £14 so was pleased and it cheered me up a little. It's all things I use in my regular day to day stash so I'm happy that they'll just replace when the old runs out. They're not releasing the new range until December so I think I have plenty to last until then!!

    I currently have 127 products not including nail varnishes (they're in a lovely neat box and I don't think I'll ever actually use one up).

    I hope everyone else is well and has had a lovely summer so far. Looking forward to bank holiday weekend!!

    Lots of UUs happening here. Was going to wait til the end of the month before reporting but thought I might as well do it now as there are more than usual. Few more to go from my PP list this month, we'll see how well it continues!
    Imperial leather sherbet lemon shower cream 250ml - WMBA but seem to get through imperial leather products really quickly.
    Boots extracts coconut body scrub 75ml - WNBA on its own but would use if it came in a set.
    Boots extracts mango body scrub 75ml - same as above.
    I love... cherry almond sparkle body butter 200ml - WDBA loved everything about this.
    Avon anew vitale day cream 50ml - WNBA too heavy on my skin
    Avon anew vitale night cream 50ml - WMBA i'm not overly fussy on night creams as long as they moisturise and sink in well.
    Sanctuary spa Moisture Burst Facial Wash 100ml - WNBA this smelt lovely (maybe like turkish delight!) but I prefer scrubs.
    Mark Hill anti humidity shine spray 50ml - WNB this came in a set at christmas. didn't see any difference to my hair with it.

    Not that I'm enabling but QVC have a Benefit TSV today. Nice kit containing Hoola, Benetint, High Beam, Gimme Brow and They're Real. Don't know how good a value it is.

    Speaking of Benefit though I think my Lemon Aid will be UUed today as I'm scraping product from around the rim now.

    I have a uu

    OPI Nail Envy - this was just a mini bottle, WMBA, as usual there is some left but only the tip of the brush is reaching it and I had to roll it around a lot last night to get any out and the first bit I put on is tacky by the time I get some more in so I'm getting uneven application.

    Repainted my nails last night with Leighton Denny Bronzed Babe.
