And so, with 8 days left of the month I have only one item left on my PP list. The pump has stopped working on my cleanser today so I'll cut the bottle open tonight. I do have a full size Liz Earle C&P that I got for Christmas and I'm intending to open this next. I want to wait until the end of the month before ordering the Elemis one.

2 eye shadows looking really low this morning hoping to have both UU by end of February (fingers crossed).0

You don't put foundation on when exercising, do you :eek:
Hahahahaha, no :rotfl: What a waste that would be!
I had put it on in the morning before going out for a few hours, then eventually went to the gym late afternoon. It hadn’t budged an inch, and I don't bother taking makeup off for the gym – I only wear heavy makeup for a big night out.0 -
Hi everyone!
Hope you're all well!
Couple of INs:
10. L’Oreal Elvive Extraordinary Oil Low Shampoo - I'm so intrigued by this.It's like a one-step, no foam, shampoo and conditioner. I'm really hoping this works because I have long thick hair that needs buckets of conditioner and it takes me such a long time to wash. It would be great to cut out a step. It's also Sulphate free as it doesn't foam.
11. Lush Yoga Bomb Bath Bomb
12. Lush Unicorn Horn Bubble Bar
Braved the crazy fog to go to town yesterday and return a bag. Popped into Lush to have a sniff of the valentines range. Lots were too fruity/sweet for me. I remember Rose Bombshell being quite drying last year and Lover Lamp smells the same as Butterball/bear and I have that already. Apart from that I wasn't keen on much of it. So I was restrained in the end! One Unicorn Horn to try and a Yoga Bomb because I fancied it.
Couple of UUs:
16. Garnier Micellar Water (the one with the pink top) WDBA but have others to use first.
17. Lily Flame Merry Christmas Candle WMBA - It's nice but I think they're overpriced.
And I can't take it off my stash because it was in a palette but I finished an eyeshadow! It was Taupe Cat from the Soap and Glory Perfect Ten palette. I got it from their Christmas gift range a few years ago and I believe it is permanent now but I don't know if the colours are the same. It's a good palette though and Taupe Cat was great for everyday. Will put £1 in my pot for finishing this!
The thread's getting long this month; we must all be doing well!0 -
Is anybody else watching the BBC 2 Horizon programme on Hair Care Secrets? It's on as I'm typing this. I've set it to record as well so I can watch it again. Already I've learned how essential conditioner really is, for example and how damaging heat is too. It should be on iPlayer if you've missed it.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0

2 more UUs for me, and both full size, woohoo!
- John Frieda Sheer Blonde go blonder shampoo (500ml - jumbo size!). WMBA. I love the sheer blonde range in general, it just works well on my hair. I got the go blonder one as my hairdresser had at the time put darker than usual lowlights in my hair, so maybe wouldn't use this exact one again.
- Mark Hill XL Volume amplifying serum. WPBA - this was really nice! My hair does not need thickening, and I'm not sure this did anyway, but it is a really nice lightweight serum that applies easily, and left my hair feeling really silky and strong. Highly recommended.0 -
Glad you are pleased with this and that you were able to get it from QVSell.
Hi, where do you get Physicians Formula and Catrice products from?
I've brought out my Naked 2 palette again this week. Verve is a gorgeous colour. Wearing my Smashbox eyeshadows today though.
Catrice is more available in the eu, i noticed on the website - a bit like kiko is more available. My local primark stocks it.0 -
I have an UU - Origins Plantscription Anti Aging serum 15 ml. I like Origins products generally I might buy this again. Pleasant smell, texture and easy to apply.ally.0

Gwp size Bronze Goddess bronzer. Two much glitter
Cheek bone highlighter. The glitter thing was too much.0 -

Forgot that I UUed a candle at weekend. I don't really count them for ths challenge as I don't tend to stock pile them that much any more. That said I'm determined to burn them all and use the wax tarts I have before buying any more. The one I used up was a Yankee Candle Home Inspirations one that was minty fragranced. WNBA. Couldn't really smell it that much. Was hoping it would be a copy of their retired Jack Frost but it was not. This was burning in my hall and I've replaced it with a large Sparkling Snow.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.
