    I saw a You Tube video this morning where the YouTuber was complaining about it melting!


    I've found a new YouTuber to watch - can't remember her name but she starts a new Project Pan every day nearly! Lord knows how she will keep up with them all especially as every time she films she reminds everybody that she has three children!


    I don't know about anyone else but it feels to me like the whole YouTube Beauty Guru thing has come to an end with a lot of YouTubers now reluctantly turning to panning.

    I hope you are right about the guru thing, who are these people anyway on the whole they are just people in their bedrooms preaching to others. I do love a good panning video and I really like the small youtubers who spend their own money and are really honest.

    4 50ml tub of Soap & Glory Righteous ButterI had forgotten how much I really like this product. Will shop the stash for a replacement floral shower gel and body lotion/butter at weekend as I like to have a choice in the mornings. Have the Yorkshire Soap Company soap and a Laura Mercier fig body lotion on the go. The soap smells of patchouli.
    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!

    I have two uu's

    Avon Little Red Dress EDP 15ml
    - WNB but would use if it was a freebie like this one, nice enough scent and lasted quite well.

    Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk Serum - this does nothing for the feel of my hair but it does claim to be anti-breakage so I will see how I get on but if my hair does start to snap I will buy again.

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    Two INs arrived today:

    Tigi Bedhead Dumb Blonde Shampoo 750ml
    Tigi Bedhead Dumb Blonde Reconstructor 750ml

    I got these for £13 off Groupon, and I'm nearing the end of the ones I'm currently using. Hopefully these should be my last INs for the month, I'm going to try and not to buy anything I don't need this month. I'm not even tempted by the Lush Mother's Day range, it's just not appealing to me at the moment :/
  • Thanks sstevo for the new thread. I'm in again for March.

    Managed 11 UUs for February against a target of 10 - quite pleased with that!

    Target for March is 10 again. I have two UUs already:
    Touch of Silver purple shampoo, WNBA - hair is naturally dishwater blonde and this made no real difference. Perhaps better for dyed or non-dishwater hair.
    No 7 primer sample. WNB this primer but it has reminded me what a huge difference primer makes to makeup longevity. Will pull out my fave Rimmel Stay Matte again.

    And two INs:
    L'oreal low shampooo - I am powerless in the face of Sali Hughes' Saturday Guardian column and I needed shampoo
    Nyx velvet matte lipstick in Soft Femme - didn't need this but it is lovely

    NPI, I found a box of Nyx stuff being sold off in Boots. None to my taste but soooo cheap. Luckily I came to my senses in time!

    My Look Fantastic box has arrived. INs from the box :

    Caudalie Vine Activ Mousturizer 15 ml
    Skin Chemists Aqua Repair Facial Serum 30 ml
    Pur Disappearing Act in Light Concealer
    St Tropez Instant Finishing Gloss
    Starskin Smoothing Bio Cellulose Second Skin Eye Mask
    Redken Heat Cure Hair Mask.

    Overall, I'm pleased.

    Some UUs

    1 Elizabet Arden Hydrating Toner, 30 ml
    1 Lancome Galat!e Cleanser 30 ml
    1 Garnier Hand cream

    Love all and replaced from stash.

    I don't know where this week has gone. Can't keep up, will catch up with the thread soon.

    I also uu a sachet of Embryolisse Lait-Crème Concentre moisturiser, I liked it and would buy in full size.

    And I bought some Biotin supplements. I do take a few and this will be added to them.

    Had some late night tidying in my cupboard. Throwing away few samples, travel size products. Took out some skincare products from Arnaud Caviar series. Will use these instead of keeping them in their nice box. I rotate what I use anyway so will fit somewhere.

  • Hi!
    Just getting round to posting my March PP:

    1. Lush Breath of Fresh Air Toner - I like this but the pump on it is awful, like a water pistol!
    2. Vichy Lift Activ Night Cream
    3. Lush Starcraft Cleanser
    4. Superdrug Vitamin E Creamy Oil Body Lotion
    5. Benefit Ready Set Brow
    6. Palmers Cocoa Butter lip balm
    7. Freedom Primer Water
    8. Garnier Pure Active Micellar Water
    9. Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer in Ivory
    10. Crabtree and Evelyn Lily Hand Cream

    2,5,7 and 9 are carried over from last month. Concealer is almost done, and the brow gel.

    Also, first UU of March is Mane N Tail Conditioner. WPNBA. It leaves my hair feeling quite nice but it doesn't do more than cheaper ones.

    I might have INs over the weekend because I want to get a couple of No7 bits while I have those £3/£5 vouchers. Does anyone know if they can be used in conjunction with the 3 for 2? I feel like I have done it before but I can't remember now.

    Hope everyone has a good weekend! Looks like it'll be raining down my way, what a surprise! :)
