    One TA:

    Atrixo Hand Cream WNBA. Get mineral oil away from me. My body does not like this and I'm so sensitive to mineral oil.

    I have 7 unopened products that have mineral oil in them. I was thinking of selling them all together on eBay, but I received them as a gift and I don't want to make my mum upset that I haven't even used them. I accidentally used a hand cream which had 'paraffinum liquidum' in it (Mineral Oil in a different name) and my eyes are sore and itchy and I've got a rash. I have two open products with mineral oil in them. Anyone got any ideas on what I can do with them? Would a charity shop accept unopened products?

    i would sell it and use the money to fund something really nice.

    I didnt make it to Boots until yesterday and there wasnt much sale stuff left. I nearly brought an Extracts vanilla set but I dont actually like vanilla lol. Has to be the first time ever I've not brought anything 50 or 70% off in the Boots sale:eek::eek::T:T

    I bought some Clarins sets at 50% as I love Clarins but completely gave a miss to 70% , this year really didn't feel like buying anything they had on offer.

    I mentioned couple of days ago that I bought CT Magic foundation and after using it couple of days, I must say I'm disappointed :(

    UU:

    Vaseline pure oat extract lotion. Hotel size, good for handbags. WBA, absorbed well, no real scent

    Herb Day 365 cleansing foam mousse in Acerola. WNBA. Left a nasty scum line in the sinko. Nothing special. Have another one in the stash. 100 ml size from a beauty box.

    Baylis & Harding 100ml spiced orange body wash. Into the hand soap pump. I liked the smell but wouldn't go looking for it.

    Elizabeth Grant biocollasis eye serum. 15 ml. Nothin no special usd it as an all over serum to get rid of. Won't buy again as I've given up tv shopping.

    Now, how do I deal with a lipstick glut!

    HI all

    Not been on for a long long time but I have been keeping a tally of what I have used up and what I still have. I have used up 101 out of 356 items so definately getting there.

    Not making PP list for Jan/Feb as I am going to just try and finish what is on the go at the moment and then start a fresh in March with targetted items. Really need to use up body creams etc as these seem to be breeding in my cupboards!!!!

    Have repainted my nails in OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender

    That's a lovely colour. I don't own that but it looks similar to OPI Sparrow me the Drama which I own and love. I've seen Lucky Lucky Lavender pop up on a couple of top 10 OPI fave videos on YouTube lately.

    I repainted mine this morning and am wearing my very favourite red OPI Off With her Red. Still going strong although I can actually see inside the bottle and it is half full. I have seen a really good dupe by Sally Hansen though which I will get at some point.
    UU:

    Now, how do I deal with a lipstick glut!

    I set out with good intentions of decluttiering some lip products this week because I have three that don't fit in my caddy now as it's that full. The intention was to pull out three a week and get rid of one that I liked the least but I can't seem to bear to part with any! Today I am wearing Tarte Coral Blossoms lipstick. This colour looks nice today paired with eyeshadows from my Naked 2 pallette (Bootycall and the other dark brown colour Breakout?) and it is very comfortable feeling on my lips. I got this in a Sephora kit. One of my faves from that kit.

    I'll let you know if I manage to relinquish any!

    Nice to see you posting again Maisie M.

    I have another UU:-

    30 John Frieda Frizz Ease Miraculous Recovery Hair Mask Have been using this as a general conditioner. It's nice. I now only have the horrible L'occitane conditioner left and I can't use this on my hair as it makes it so lank. I'm thinking of using it as a shave cream when my pot of Lush Prince has gone.

    So, I'm on the hunt for another conditioner. Got paid yesterday and will go out at lunch to Bodycare as I need some razors too and they are the cheapest place to buy them from. Will look at the conditioners in there. The only other thing that I want to buy next month is my Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser which remains uncut still as I managed to use the pump still for the last couple of days but this morning it was definitely spluttering and there's about an inch worth of product left at the bottom. I am also low on deodorant. Don't have a replacement for the curent one which probably has enough product in for another week, I think.

    So I've nearly hit my pledge of 31 items for this month. I have a primer that I got in my advent calendar that is a small tube and has squished in the middle so will attempt to finish that for my number 31 I think.

    Have a good day all. Another busy one for me. Catch you all later.
