Have you tried NP thinner? I have a salon size bottle of Seche Restore, when I was away from home one time I bought some from Mavala, they are both great and extend the life of top coats and some polishes which are inclined to be gloopy immensely. (The SV can be bought in regular sizes too:D)

Thanks will see if I can get hold of some sick of having to bin top coats.

Checking in with the next few UU! My face is definitely looking better now I'm making an effort to actually use the products I have, though I haven't finished any yet.

5. Molton Brown Japanese Orange Body Wash (50ml) - WDBA, lovely smell and it lasted for ages.

6. Aussie Miracle Moist Conditioner (75ml) - WDBA, probably my favourite conditioner I've used for a while! Have a lot more left to use up, though, and at the rate I use conditioner I have enough to last for months.

7. Head & Shoulders Itchy Scalp Shampoo (250ml) - WMBA, does what it says on the tin. I think I prefer the original shampoo though.

8. Arran Aromatics Bay Citrus Bath & Shower Gel (30ml) - WMBA. I'm torn about this one - didn't really like the scent when I first started using it, but it's grown on me!

One quick UU for the night:

Nuxe Melting Gel cleanser sample WMB - If they got rid of the smell. I've seen a few melting gel cleansers about, I liked the texture, I might have to try a different one.

What I'm loving at the moment is The Ordinary Natural Moisturising Factors + HA. I thought it was causing me some problems but it was something else. I like this because it's good beneficial ingredients at a budget friendly cost. I have about a quarter of a tube left, I think it will last me to next month, I might need to get some more of it in February.

Hi all

I have a few ins
2x Pantene conditioner it was on offer, I needed conditioner as all out and I had a points booster for it
Elemental herbology harmonising oil cleanser. Probably could have gone without this but I'd trialled it and loved it! So pay day treat. No more spending on toiletries now for a bit!

I bought the primark version of the artis brush. It is not as luxurious as the big brands but it really blended the foundation and it stayed so well today, Run to primark and grab it! I will say i seemed to need more foundation but it was great.

My trilogy cleanser is upside down to get it to drain to the top. It is a nice cleanser but not worth the price. I would not get it again. I have a big bottle of cleanser from clarins to be getting on with.

i got a volumizing kit from treseme for half price.

Couple of little UU to report...

Lush prince shaving cream sample- WBA as full size this was quite a thick cream. Smelled pleasant enough and did the job well.

Lush dreamwash shower roulade sample - WNBA i love dream cream and how good it is for the skin but this was a nightmare to use. It was quite hard and took ages to get some sort of a lather effect, and i didnt feel clean enough. I was in the shower ages trying to use this! I would get dreamwash in the potted version next time its in the kitchen maybe to try, as i didnt like the roulade. Glad i didnt waste my pennies on a full size. I got the yog nog and candy cane roulades and now im worried they will be a faff to use too :-/

25 Laura Mercier Ambre Vanille body lotion I adopted this pit from Emma when she decluttered for Uni along with 2 more tubs of LM body lotion. Am really on the fence about this. Whilst it smelt gorgeous and can still smell it now 7 hours later it is a faff to get out of the jar and does not absorb easily. Will use the other 2 pots next as these are the oldest products I own. WPNBA unless they changed the packaging.

I'm just finishing up a Golden Honey Must Body Souffle from her and agree about the jar. I have kept some of these jars as they look pretty and the labels peel clean off.

If I'm ever seen running to Primark it will be time to get me sectioned, I passionately hate everything about the place, the only place I hate more is Zara.

I have a uu

Soap & Glory Heel Genius - WNBA but would happily use if it comes in a set. I don't see any amazing benefits from using this.

I've just been through my stash again:

TA:
Rimmel BB Cream in Light - about 1/3 left, hate it and won't use so TA.

UU:
3x Wilkinson pink disposable razors - another 7 in stash!
1x Crest Toothpaste - another 3 in stash!
1x Radox hand wash - 1 hand wash left in stash

GA:
Urban Decay palette - sold on eBay as I have far too many palettes that I never really use.

I'm holding out on not buying anything at the moment and am making do with mixing two different foundation samples to make the correct colour for my skin tone. Seems to work okay and hopefully will see me through for another couple of weeks.
