    Still slow going, only 2 more things UU at the moment.

    10. Cien Citrus Anti-dandruff shampoo
    11. Listerine Coolmint 500ml Mouthwash HG, replacement already in use.

    A few things are nearly finished, including my Sleeptherapy pillow mist by Avon. I do love this, but would be up for trying something different. Does anyone have any recommendations?

    Annual challenge:
    11/120


    The sleep sprays are just a gimmick imo, if you really want a relaxing scent a few drops of lavender or chammomile on a hanky would be better.

    Glamglow Youthmud 50g - I do like this but it is very expensive, ridiculously expensive really, so WNBA.

    I have won a Maybelline mascara via GlamGeek so will throw my Bare Minerals Lashtopia away when it arrives. The BM one is getting rather dry.


    So, last year for Emma's birthday I made a Colourpop order however one of the glitters that I ordered did not arrive. They refunded me. All was well. Then Emma sent me a message at weekend that it was now on sale on their website. I'm not ordering from the US I said because of the taxes etc I said. Then the thought niggled at me. I ended up relenting thinking that she had wanted the glitter originally. OK, so I have justified this as I used Paypal funds from recent Ebay sales and will have birthday money soon. Don't judge me too harshley! (Ha, ha, I know you all won't).

    Relivio Dry Skin Lotion 500ml - ages ago I ordered DD some moisturiser (I can't remember the name of it now) and when it came the company had put two of these in the box as freebies, they have an expiry date on them which was just past so they couldn't sell them so rather than waste them they were giving them away. Sensible in my book as we've had them a while now and they are still totally fine - I take no notice of bb dates on food so why would I on body lotion. As far as the product goes it was just a basic but it did a good job.

    Thanks dolly, but I've already got two lavender diffusers on the go in the bedroom and I've tried lavender on my pillow previously. I'm not sure if the sleep spray helps, but I really like the scent of it and I think it encourages me to take deeper breaths. As you can probably tell, I'm not a great sleeper, so I try as many things as possible.

    Bath & Body Works Pumpkin Marshmallow Latte handcream. Nice fragrance. Would repurchase. Think I have two more in stash (not this fragrance though).
