    My weekly update

    UU
    Avon Premium Deluxe Perfume
    Avon Original Bath Oil
    Superdrug B Glycolic Cleansing Peel

    IN
    Superdrug Solair Anti-Age Face Cream SPF50 x3
    Greek Honey Soap

    Total = 97

    The ins were because I stockpile on sun tan face cream before they disappear off the shelf ( you are suppose to wear a SPF even through autumn and winter and the soap a gift)

    Some In's and out's for me since the start of the month:

    In:
    - Garnier Olia hair dye
    - 2 Essence nail polishes. I don't really count nail polishes, and don't really buy many now (I have loads!) but these were very cute - part of the "I heart trends" range, I got a "Porcelain" in 'pretty little thing', and a "Jelly" in 'flying flamingo'. The jelly is quite like a Bourjois one I had and loved, but used up a couple of years ago, and I'd seen nothing like it since. The Porcelain one is quite muted, but with a really fine shimmer - very cool.

    And the outs:
    - Garnier Olia hair dye :P
    - Batiste Cherry, large. WDBA HG
    - Elemis Omega-rich cleansing oil. WPNBA. Nice, but not better than blending my own. Came in a beauty box.
    - Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Shampoo mini. WNB. Nothing special.

    Advent Calendars - there do seem to be a lot more coming out this year - there's even an Opi one to rival Ciate! This is the most comprehensive list I've found so far.

    I'm still not sure what I'll get, i'm debating my options - but certainly not one of the top priced ones :rotfl:

    Finally got round to handing my stuff into the baby bank so here are my GAs

    Smoothie star buttercream
    Hand sanitizer
    TBS cocoa lip balm
    TBS coconut shower cream
    Bio oil 200ml
    Baylis and harding french lavender and cassis moisturiser
    E45 moisturising lotion 500ml
    Earth therapeutics tea tree oil foot scrub 50ml
    Bling bling body lotion
    Loccitane soaps x 4
    Toothpaste (IN and straight out)
    Toothbrushes x 3 (IN and straight out)
    Sanitary towels
    No7 nail polish x 2
    No7 mini eyeshadow

    IN

    Nivea hand moisturiser - free as part of a maternity gift set from my employer

    UUs

    Nivea cocoa lip balm - loved the scent but didn't feel it did much for my lips - WMBA
    L'occitane ultra rich scrub sample - this took 3 uses to use up. It did feel nice at the time and was a fairly neutral scent. No idea if it's still something they sell. I probably wouldn't buy it again as I didn't rate it any better than cheaper alternatives

    That's all for now but I think I might treat myself to a sheet mask tonight to try and work my way through them.
    #27 £2016 in 2016 = £763.61

    #42 £2 Savers Club = £160

    *Savers Club not included in overall 2016 savings until the tin is opened and my estimates have been confirmed later in the year.
  • I'm almost finished a tube of this :) really like it.

    Its good, as are the mango and grapefruit one. There's a few other nice ones too but cant remember as Ive been using the multi packs from the States with the same 4 flavours for the past year:money:
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Yvette Rocher? Love their shower gels. Better value than TBS. I've had some makeup brushes from the, good and holding up well. Travel size mascara was good as well.

    Free shipping after a certain amount spent

    I want the feelunique and Sephora ones. Or the L'Occitane one.
    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've had two advent calendars in the past but in all honesty now I would rather spend the money on something I really want rather than a load of minis I might want.
