  • So sorry to hear about your grandad Gemma. xx

    UU
    Dry Bar mini 3 in 1 - WNBA this was a bit too much hairprayish and the dry shampoo part just got cancelled out!
    Bare Minerals foundation - HG and onto my next one from the stash!
    BON scar tissue oil - WNBA this was just bog standard oil and the sample was a bit to small to test over a period of time to see if it was worth it

    primark are now stocking a mixing pallet for foundation and a little spatula. it will sell out fast but not for make up. cycincal me thinks. it is great for mixing drops to whiten foundation.

    Really enjoying my Feelunique advent calender however as it only contans 12 windows I'm trying to eek out the openings. So far though I've enjoyed what I have found inside (3 windows opened so far).

    Take care everyone and keep up the good work. xx

    The lush one I bought only has 12 gifts as well, so opening them every other day to make them last till christmas. This is definately the best one I've had so far, I have multiple calendars this year but will definately buy the lush one again.

    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!

    UU

    Primark P. S. Love Anti-Bacterial Hand Gel - This lasted some months for a small bottle. Got some more anti-bac gel at home so will take some in to use at work.
    Givenchy Amarige Mariage Eau de Parfum 1ml sample - Very nice perfume. Had a handful of these samples so found another to use up.
    Tesco Loves Baby Ultra Soft Wipes (24 pack) - I used these on my face and found them better than some face wipes I've used. Have replaced with another pack of wipes.

    Thought I would use up the rest of the anti-dandruff shampoo but there's still a little bit left. My current work perfume is going down so should finish it up by the end of next week. I reckon I have a couple of uses left of the current shower gel. I'm 4 items away from my target of 200 for the year!

    Another to add.

    UU
    Hair Chemist Phase 3 Oil 30ml - I tend to apply hair oil after a blow dry or my hair being washed. Used the last of this today and I'd say it was good value for money as it lasted me several months. It's not my favourite though so WNBA. I've found others at the same price which work better for my hair. I'm glad to have finished this so I can work through the stash.
