    Fingers crossed. all but one of the eye shadow colours that I have been using for the last 2 weeks have hit pan now, hopefully I'll have some UU before I get bored and change my look.


    currently using (all UD)


    Broken as base
    Stark as transition
    Beware as 1st crease colour
    Lost to darken the crease and under bottom lash line
    Smog on lid
    Baked Cowboy on inner corners.


    I only own Smog (Naked 1 palette) out of all those. Do love UD eyeshadows though.
    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!

  • Some UU's

    Derma V10 deep wrinkle collagen filler - tiny tube - but quite liked it - would probably buy again.

    Opia lip and cheek tint - loved this for a very natural look, but it's been discontinued.

    Avon Anew instant eye smoother - another like - smooths out my crepey eyes, temporary but effective - anyone know of a high street replacement?
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!

    Two UUs from tonight:

    Garnier Moisture Bomb Tissue Mask WNBA. Ugh, this smelt disgusting. I couldn't keep it on my face for too long because of the smell. And it wasn't very moisturising.

    La Roche Posay Effaclar H Hydrating Moisturiser sample WDB as full size. Loved this. It goes on smooth, sinks in quick. Just what I need :)

    This list is the stuff of dreams. I have major bath envy (my bath also doesn't work properly and my electric bill was too hi so no baths for me for a while! Luxurious shower recommendations are welcome ladies!)

    If you like bath bombs I know you can get bath bombs for the shower. Not sure where you'd buy them though and know I can't advertise my business on here
    Did owe £9,951.96

    Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

    Serious stash envy I spent all day boxing day on the site waiting to get in from being 4000 odd in the queue to suddenly being 32thousand by the time I got into the uk site there was crumbs left spent 20 quid felt disappointed and will know next year to fumble my way through the European sites (languages is not my thing) where boxing day is not a "big thing".

    Local store is tiny and the staff a bit too in my face id rather browse, sniff and purchase not be followed round with an eager beaver butting in to my day dream/shopping pleasure :rotfl:

    Trying to tell myself I have too many face creams but I can see No 7 gift sets still available in boots and my skin seems to like them but I have like 10 creams that were purchased first. Oh the dilemma of tomorrow maybe I should just avoid the store tomorrow :p

    2 more UUs curtesy of Monsters and OH baths today

    13 Superdrug Dragonfruit & Vanilla showergel WBA at that price
    14 Superdrug Shea Butter & Bamboo showergel WBA at that price

    :pDesperately Determined to Destroy the Debts one at a time.. and Seriously Save for the Spectacular future.:p

    3 more UUs for me - on a roll this month!

    Boots Botanics Face Wash - had this for years, does the job. WMBA

    Sheet Face Mask - Not sure of the brand, I picked it up from TKMaxx. Made my skin feel nice, but not sure if I'll find them again! WMBA

    Garnier Ultralift sample - WMBA. I like how this went on, and my skin feels lovely!

    Another eye shadow has hit pan this morning UD Lost, that's 3 in the last week. Hoping to have an eye shadow UU in a month or so. Maybe the eye shadow stash will actually run out one day?

    I'm going to have to leave my eyeshadow stash to someone in my will
