    Lush Bubble Bar 
    Elvive Conditionor 

    I had my Lush order from the Boxing Day sale finally come but half didn’t arrive as they oversold. So they have me £20 voucher to say sorry. I got a couple of bubble bars and a bath bomb. 

    I’ve now got a nice stash to use. I didn’t buy any last year and waited till the sale so I bit gutted didn’t get it all but there’s still a few months of weekly baths there. 

    I’m still working my way through my Project Pan list. Have added all to my daily use drawer so been really easy to use. I will be approaching empties on a few soon and got to resost the urge to replace those specific items. They are all £20-40 each and I’ve got similar. But I’ve got to concentrate on getting my
    monies worth out of what I’ve got first 💪🏻💪🏻
  • @dolly84 it never fully comes off with balm/oil- I use waterproof mascara and even if it seems like I have everything off, inevitably I wake up in the morning with a bit of panda eye!  Sometimes I also like to 'loosen it up' a bit before I use my balm/oil with the Nivea.  Just need to be more mindful that the wipes are very spongey!

    • Carex Hand Gel in Love Hearts (50ml):  Not sure whether this should be counted here, but I'd count hand wash, so why not sanitiser?  Got a load of fun smelling sanitisers for our wedding which was in C-times, and had a load left over as we overbought.  Don't actually like the Love Heart one, its SO perfumey, and sadly this is the one we have most left off :lol:

    Yesterday another Laura Mercier Caviar stick broke on me. Well actually it broke a little while ago but Yesterday the remaining product fell out onto the floor. This was only a mini size and was a GWP. Still, I've purchased this product in the past and each one has broken.

  • @VALM that's so sad it fell on the floor!  Assume there was no salvaging it?

    • Sure 72H anti-perspirant spray- 250ml- Invisible Aqua:  Yeah, nice, seems to work as well as any deo and doesn't smell offensively floral or anything, bought many times.  Have some in stash so no buying required right now.
    • Tigi Bed Head Beach Bound Protection Spray:  Woah I just searched my emails for when I bought this, and November 2020!  I've been using it before blow-drying my hair, but technically it's for when you're out and about.  Smelt nice, and not too expensive- I'd buy it again.  As you can tell by how old it is, I don't do much with my hair tbh!

    If you are signed up to Body Shop card/scheme thing you get a £5 voucher for your birthday, so I popped in there on Thursday and picked up this:
    • The Body Shop- Lemon Purifying Hand Wash:  We'll easily use it up and also it wasn't over £5 so I didn't have to spend any of my own money, which was important!

    Avon Glycerine Hand Cream - this is nice, WBA.  I do think I have another in the stash.

    Lush Snow Fairy Bubble Bar - this was DD's, it was nice and bubbly, I used about a third in one bath and the rest in last nights bath so I think these are expensive really.  WNB.

  • Finished a Dior Dream Skin skin perfector.  I only buy the refill.  I love that product.  Have a new one waiting to be opened.  I've heard rumours that the formula was changed, so I'm a bit afraid.
