tara where did you get your body butters from as my body shop does not do the brazil nut ones anymore and they are not on their website?

Sadly, it has been discontinued. Madness. :mad:

They were selling it off at £5 in the sales. Try eBay.

I got mine (not telling how many) for £2 each!!!!!! 200ml pots!!! Woohoo!!!!! And a 200ml Brazil Nut scrub, also £2!!!!!!!!!! :beer:

I can't wait to try it.

Noooooooo.....good for you!

They only has about 5 left in one store, after scouring the Edinburgh branches, so I cleared the shelves

How much was it in store?

I like the fact that my slip-up has gone totally under the radar ha ha!!! I spent £4.48 in Superdrug on a nail strengthener for my mum (£1.99) and an Optimum eye roll-on with caffeine £2.49 - cheaper copy of Garnier). I also spent 450 points on a Balm Balm Rose Geranium balm (£3) and a Botanics serum (£1.50) from the clearance shelf in Boots. The shame!!! I actually wish I'd bought more of the balm, tried the tester and it was gorgeous! It has echoes of Molton Brown.

I have moved £2.49 from my savings pot back to my current a/c to pay for the eye stuff (the nail stuff for my mum doesn't count).

Never used it before anyone got any comments/ reviews pls, fyim i have long black lashes but they are golden tipped, so mascaras i go for are usually falsh lash effect . Ds2 has the best lashes in our house, they are like fans and could cool a room down from boiling to cold in acouple of flutters:rotfl:.

I must look at that one, I do like the volumising one though and it's about the cheapest L'Oreal one.

I had some false lashes on for the first time ever a few weeks ago and I loved them! Flutter flutter. Hahaha!! The trouble is I've left it so late in life to start wearing them that I have to go to the salon and pay to have them put on professionally, as with my middle-aged eyesight it would mean I'd probably end up with one in the middle of my eyebrows or crawling up my face like a caterpillar!!:rotfl:

@ salesaddict - It’s the overall impression I got – reading 3 weeks of posts in 2 days probably makes it stand out a little more!

Things like you've said you really want to change, and you've done quite a lot to achieve that - giving your credit card to your o/h, carrying a photo of your stash with you, already cutting down on what you buy, and more examples in these quotes…







Restrained, organised, sensible about what you need - I wish I was as good!


Btw, is it just me who finds it hard to drink enough water during the day? I don't get it - I know it really good for you, and such a simple thing to do, yet I rarely do it:huh: (unless at the gym, or i've been running) I don't know why!

thankyou Fixx, you are a darling to go to all that trouble:A

I have found I can drink water as long as its hot with a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime. I can't do plain cold water (yuk).

Been using Body Shop Coconut body butter but may not finish - I smell like a glass of malibu and it's driving me mad!
Wonder what I can use my saved money towards...

Girls smelling of alcohol! Perfect! what more could you ask for.

I wonder if there are any cosmetics that make you smell like a good single malt!

nope i can't do it either!!! i might manage a glass during work (sometimes 2) but don't drink any at home... mainly due the fact i drink hardly anything at home as DS is on the climbing and destroying stage and i don't fancy cleaning up water ever 10 minutes!!!

Having a horrible weekend so far.
Got a haircut yesterday and I'm really not happy. I have (had) long hair, past my boobies (can't think of another marker to describe it!) and she's taken FAR too much off
It's now sitting just under my collar bone and I am so upset.
OH was meant to be taking me out to a new Brasilian restaurant in Glasgow city centre for lunch this afternoon and I'm so pee'd off I just want to stay in and wallow
I suppose a positive is that I was in such a rush to get out of the salon after I'd expressed my anger at the stylist that I didn't succumb to the usual buying of £25 shampoo.
Not happy

:rotfl::rotfl:, but seriously if you go to a salon , do choose a reputable one as ive seen some odd looking fake eyelashes on people who apparently have had them done professionally:eek:
