    UU : No 7 wipes. Have more in stash. Noticed yesterday in Boots that these are now £7.50 a pack! May look for alternative when they are all gone.

    Philosophy Bubbly shower gel this was awful. Smelt and looked like Lucozade. Eugh.

    So Finish 5 by Spring is done.

    I did pretty well with this as I rolled replacement items in. I finished:-

    Benefit Dallas
    Smashbox shadow from the Full Exposure palette
    Laura Geller Balance n Brighten
    L'Occitane Amber & Santal fragrance
    Marc Jacobs mini lipstick in Jetaime
    OPI mini in Time For a Napa

    I gave up on Laura Mercier Caviar Stick in Grey Pearl and TA

    I Adam still working on:-

    No 7 powder
    MAC eyeshadow Whenever You Call
    No 7 Sugar Mauve lip lacquer
    NYX concealer
    OPI Let Me Bayou a Drink.

    Anyone up for a Finish 7 by Summer?

    If so, I'll add Lorac Pro eyeshadow in Bare and Tommy Girl fragrance to my list.
    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!

    My nails and cuticles are responding well to all the TLC, so much so I might use my current £5off voucher to order in another of the No7 Nail & Cuticle Care creams. Although I am keeping them short there is now enough growth to get out the nail polishes again:j Today I will be using Ciate Bonbon, I had fun swatching a few this morning before making my choice:D

    I would like to join in with the Finish 7 by Summer Challenge, for once I have been able to find products which should qualify.

    15ml OPI Nail Envy
    Boots No 7 lipstick ? Rose (label worn)
    30ml Clinique Moisture Surge tinted moisturiser Shade 02
    3.2g Bobbi Brown Bone eyeshadow
    9.4ml Maybelline Lash Sensationa; WP mascara black
    21g Smashbox Halo Mineral Powder Light
    OPI mini nail polish Princesses Rule

    Ninth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped!
    One UU from last night:

    Superdrug Calm Skin Refreshing Facial Spritz 100ml WPNBA. This has a nice scent but the spray nozzle is way too powerful for me to use on my face. I used this on my body to help my body lotion sink in easier.

    Progress seems slow on my PP list items. Most of them are no where near finished :/

    My 5 by Spring list

    [STRIKE]Garnier Oil Free BB Cream[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]No7 Stay Perfect Smoothing Eyeshadow[/STRIKE]
    Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow in Birthday Suit - I would just like to hit pan on this.
    [STRIKE]No7 stick concealer[/STRIKE]
    Mac Lipstick

    This is how I ended the challenge. I am calling the stick concealer done as I am using a brush to get the last bits out and have been for ages, as I only use it on blemishes it will still last forever.

    Never managed to hit pan on the cream eyeshadow (I don't think it has pan) and I used a different lipstick.

    I'll do a 7 by Summer, my items will be

    Mac Patisserie Lipstick
    Bourjois CC Cream
    Benefit Creaseless Cream Eyeshadow Birthday Suit - try to hit pan
    Nails Inc Top Coat
    Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer
    Body Shop Lip & Cheek Tint
    Bourjois Colour Boost Lip Crayon in Plum Russian

    UU and replacement of bottle of Boots nail polish remover. Emma used a quarter of the bottle to soak off acrylic nails.

    Repainted my nails last night and am wearing ESSIE Ladylike. Very similar to OPI Tickle My Francey.

    I did pick up an order from Boots too. Got a bottle of Childs Farm Moisturiser for Emma as her psoriasis is back.
