    not very well:(strange sort of half cold with 1 sinus blocked then running ,cough and sore throat:(:(:(

    just had to treat myself to YSLyoung and sexy(whilst feeling neither!!!)at just £16.99 on half price perfumes(usually £55) and also used a voucher I had so only spent £10.94:):):)

    had loads of stuff to trial recently,Nair,sweeteners,toothpaste and now some nasal spray(very useful at the mo)
    also sent for the organic soaps mentioned on MSE email.

    used up a few ends of tubes and still need to start on the sachets

    went to the hairdressers this week for a dry trim and she was doing a new line from Wella SP,which involved a wash,hair mask and heat on offer at 50% off for the 1st treatment than a stamp to collect giving a free treatment after 5 paid ones.My hair feels really good now as it was very dry(due to weather and too much chlorine from swimming) so recomend it if you see it anywhere.

    off to the pool to sit in steam room now!

    A bit naughty today but also not! Needed some panty liners for the hot weather and was going to get the Boots own ones at £1.29 with 35 points, but then spotted the BOGOF Bodyform ones with free Jemma Kidd lipglosses. So actually got twice as many for only 30p more and two free glosses. Quite a good offer I think!

    i've also just been naughty - i just seen on Grabbit (naughty naughty board!!) that smashbox tinted moisturisers were 49p (+p&p) :eek: so i just HAD to try them! i'd heard so much about the brand from this thread :rotfl: so i thought that £6 odd for the 2 moisturisers, a carmex lip balm spf for my holiday and postage and packing was not bad!

    Only two UUs for me:

    A free 30ml sample bottle of Clinique toner, oops sorry, "Clarifying Lotion" No1. WIB? Surpisingly yes. I used Clinique a few years ago. The SA said I fell into the No 2 category. However I found that after a week of using this lotion I had dry patches on my face, something I rarely have. I got nearly 3 weeks use out of the No1 (day and night usage) and my face felt cleaner and my moisturizer went on a lot better.

    Aubrey Organics North Woods Shave Cream. WIBA? Yes as I already have one in my stockpile. I wasn't going to start on this as I wanted to use up a hair conditioner as a shave cream but I've just noticed that there is an expiry date on the shave cream of 03/10.

    I have one alternative use item:

    Elemis Sharp Shower. This really dried up my skin so trying it out as a hand wash. So far so good.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Used up: another Palmolive limited edition..can't remember scent : WNBA: a real disappointment IMO.

    Almost used up: JASON, Rose shower gel: should work out just right for moving I think! WIBA? Yes, certainly, if I were going to have a shower in the new place. Its not terribly rose scented, but smells clean and fresh, if a little sweet, and its ''natural'' and not full of nasties: DH can use it with his psoriasis. So definitely. I might look for some JASON bath stuff though. :)

    Lostinrates have you tried the Tea Tree one? It has a nice clean smell. Once I've used up my stash of other shower gels I think I'll be going back to this one.

    Three use ups for me - finally!! How exciting, it takes me ages to finish anything!

    Batiste Dry Shampoo (blush) - WIBA - Yes definitely. Does a great job volumising and refreshing hair. It even makes my hair smell lovely. I think I'll try the dry shampoo in Boho next.

    Simple Replenishing Rich Moisturiser - WIBA - Not really no. Although it did the job, it was just too plain..I much prefer The Body Shop face moisturisers - especially the ones with SPF in them .

    The Body Shop's Olive Body Butter - WIBA - Yes. I love the smell and it moisturises well. Great for my ultra dry legs, makes it feel super silky :D

    Hi all

    I've been away on holiday for a week so have a few UU's to report:-)

    finally finished the travel size Trevor Sorbie straightening shampoo and conditioner - WIBA - no - didn't feel it did anything special to my hair

    also managed to clear out a piz buin aftersun - WIBA - yup - find it lovely and creamy and cooling - why does a bottle last 4 times as long as the sun cream though??? lol

    A couple of samply face cream sachets (bliss ones I think) - WIBA - no - I have very sensitive skin and found my skin stung slightly when I applied this moisturiser - it did settle down after a few minutes though but not worth the intial discomfort

    and finally - I've finished a dove shower gel - the nectarine fresh one (I think) - WIBA - if on offer although I prefer the oil ones for my skin - I find the fresh ones aren't as moisturising.

    :naughty: Save money on toiletries: no new/duplicate items until I've used up all existing supplies
