The Bumble and Bumble sample has gone. Very impressed with the amount of product in this. Have a full sized to use that has been donated by Emma. Is half full I think.

I am seriously lemming the new Too Faced palette that is released tomorrow and have informed MrM he needs to set an alarm!!

I've bought Barry M Fall in Love Eyeshadow Palette. Fell in love with colors and for the price, I didn't feel that bad. Wish the box was a bit stronger though.

I know how you feel. In my little Bobbi Brown palette (the one with the never ending blusher) there are 3 little eyeshadows, 1 black one I forget the name of, 1 in bone and 1 taupe, I use the taupe to fill in my brows everyday but it must be 3 feet thick, I just can't hit pan and even when I do it will still last forever.

Just back from a trip to London and had some INs - gift set from Lush; Frosted Plum body lotion from TBS; Foundation from TBS and eyeshadow palette from TBS; eyeshadow palette as a gift from a friend with makeup brushes; eyebrow palette from Primark; body lotion hotel freebie; Zoella body lotion on special offer in Superdrug; and bath salts I intend to include as part of a Christmas present.

I used up two toiletries while away:
1. A coconut hair conditioner - very good for only about £2 a bottle. The scent lingered which was lovely (can't recall the name).
2. Morrisons Desire Fragrance 75ml - Good scent but I prefer Impulse sprays. I now have only three aerosol body sprays left (I used to have about 20 when I first started this group a few years ago!).

I've been really busy but products still getting used up bit by bit. Have two shower gels which are almost finished so hope they will be gone in a couple of weeks.

The one I. Using is a pewter shimmer so not sure the pan will be easy to spot anyway. There is a big dip.

UU:

Bath and Body Works - Cucumber and Melon Body Lotion - 8 ounces
Bath and Body Works - Cucumber and Melon Body Wash - 10 ounces (OK I decanted the last bit into the bottle of handwash in the downstairs bathroom because I like things to match)

Perricone MD skin perfecting serum 15ml- kept the bottle for decanting serums for travelling. WNB full size. Too expensive and honestly there are just as good products out there.

Some Outs to confess first to make me look a little better

- John Freida Sheer Blonde shampoo. WDBA - HG.
- beauticology shower scrub. WNB - don't like body scrubs, and this was very artificial, and ineffective too.
- Elemis Pro-Collagen advanced eye treatment. WNBA - didn't seem to do much. Have used much better serums.
- Clarins super restorative decollete and neck concentrate (mini). WNB - really liked it, but not enough to pay the full price! Have a second mini to enjoy for now
- Clarins Huile Orchidee Bleue. WNB - again really really nice, but too pricey.
- Trilogy rosehip oil antioxidant+ (mini). WDNBA - I HATE the smell. Used a sample once before and had to bin it. Managed to finish this, but still smelled bad.

So, erm, also a few INs from Black Friday Nothing I feel too bad about though :cool:

Kiehls Midnight recovery concentrate - Love this, but refuse to pay full price. Got it 20% off, and have no other night serums.
Kiehls Powerful wrinkle reducing eye cream - again, 20% off, and I have very little eye cream left (and I don't like what I do have). The fine lines around my eyes are my main bugbear at the moment, so am willing to invest in them...
La Roche-Posay Effaclar toner. I'm completely out of toner, and not getting on with micellar water as a replacement. This was 25% off, and a LOT cheaper than my usual Clinique that I've just finished.
Urban Decay Heavy Metals Eye palette Ok not actually neceaasry at all, but I've been lusting after this ever since it was announced, and was refusing to buy it until I got at least 20% off - which I did on Friday. I looooooooooove it, no regrets at all :happyhear

And two pressies that I wasn't expecting!
- a belated birthday present from a close friend - Lancome Olympias Wonderland palette! Omg, this is stunning - definitely the loveliest makeup thing I own. And the lip colours/powders are amazing - perfect shades for me. Yep, totally in love with this also :heartsmil
- The lookfantastic advent calendar from my aunt! An unexpected thank you present as I got her a really luxe chocolate advent calendar. She said it was very discounted on Black Friday, though I don't know how much. She got my sister one too, so we'll coordinate and make sure our aunt gets lots of things back from the two calendars.

But now I have two advent calendars, as I bought the M&S one... I feel bad, though not too much

I was very tempted by other offers too, but have held out - I spent enough!
