    Living Proof is on my US Wishlist I think.

    2 Garnier Oil Infused Micellar wipes claimed to remove all make up. Did not.

    Have bought some no 7 wipes today. The Garnier eye make up remover I have doesn't remove mascara so I am on a mission to find a wipe that will or at least a wipe that I can follow up with the Garnier makeup remover. I do have a L'Occitane make up remover bottle in stash and really want to try this but will wait til all the Garnier makeup remover is UU. Wipes only cost me £2 with no 7 voucher. Also bought new pencil sharpener which was £2 too.

    Did go in Boots to buy Kind Natured shampoo but my Boots don't stock it. Will have to look in Superdrug for alternative.

    VALM I hated the oil infused Garnier wipes but I like the extra-gentle version which is a pale pink packet. Also the micellar wipes from B. at Superdrug are very good IMO. I like the No7 ones you've bought too but no way would I buy them without that voucher! :)

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

  • I bought a new balm cleanser and when i went to buy it was half price in the health food shop. I used the nia brand before but it is hard to find. I really like this brand as it is so effective but ore importantly it is a true pleasure to use as it smells divine.

    I repaintied my finger and toe nails last night. Used OPI I'm Suzi and I'm a Chocoholic on my fingers. Not much product getting onto brush and can't say I love the colour so TA. Used OPI If you Moust you Moust on my toes. Gorgeous pink but seems too summery for fingers.

    I repainted my nails last night with Liz Earle Awakening, it is a peach colour and very spring like. It was one of the ones that are having their last chance, I love the Liz Earle formula but am still not sure about this colour on me.

    Have tried the Burts Bees handcream over the past few days. Not bad but described as being for 'very dry skin'. Doesn't have an intense feel for me.
    Here's my verdict and those of others.

    No more toiletries NBIs apart from a brown brow brush. I have been offered a memory foam mattress though. Mine is falling to bits so thrilled with this! Got some nice Bluetooth headphones too, yesterday, so March has got off to a good start from that point of view.

    Short PP list:

    Manuka Honey mask for use as foot cream
    Aldi Lacura Argan Oil hand cream
    Aldi Lacura Soy serum for mature skin
    L'Oreal Toner for mature skin.

    My ongoing quest to use up a lip balm continues. I use one for about a week or so and then get bored and have to use something else.
    At the moment it's a Burt's Bees Coconut and Pear Lip Balm Stick / Primarni Coca Cola Stick for the day and a Carmex Cherry lip balm pot for first thing in the morning / last thing at night.

    Close run thing as to which is my favourite, between the Carmex Cherry and the Burt's Bees Coconut and Pear.

    VALM - I think we must be very similar! I love the Righteous butter, its a full size tub so will take a bit of finishing but popped it on my PP list to help encourage me to use it every day! As for the Wonder Balm - I really don't like it, does nowt for my hair and I think my hair tangles a lot easier when using it - but not sure I can bring myself to TA.

    Well day 1 of march, no UU but a couple of Ins! I knew they would be needed.

    1: IN deodrant - the cheapie one I got a couple of weeks ago just isn't doing what I need t to do
    2: IN: Dry shampoo, my current one is spluttering and had none in the stash!
