    One UU for me body shop lip butter WIBIA? yes i love it got ten more left so wont need to buy again for a while. I received my Avon lotus hair serum today i bought three bottles but it will last a long time and you only use a little bit at a time. It really does wonders for my hair and i haven't any hair serums in my stash. I also received £6 in boots vouchers for a trial i was doing, a Sally Hansen Nail Thickener and Nail shine kit and ROC wrinkle correction creamsample, nice little tube but they were free i got them from the freebies board.

    I have one go on an Alberto Balsam Pomegranite conditioner - WIBA - probably not is wasn't anything special.

    I found Neutragena Healthy scalp shampoo shachet when sorting out my stocks so used this up this morning - WIBA - nope again was nothing special (although the best before date was 2005:eek: so may have been great if I'd used it when I got it)

    I also have a condfession - I've bought 2 packets of tesco vitamin E facial wipes - I've found these are really good on my sensitive face so stocked up as I finished my last packet today :) and an original source lime shower gel for son to take back to uni - honest guv!!!!;)

    I used up a can of dry shampoo......but then bought a replacement as I don't have any more. That's allowed, right? Hope so! Damn Boots and their Tresemme sale :(
    Never argue with an idiot; they'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    Hello girlies :j

    Too tired to read through the whole thread right now, but good luck for the rest of July :D

    Since my last confession, I've used up...
    P&P intensive serum WIBA? Yes, I liked it
    Nutriganics face serum sample (form bodyshop) WIBA? Didn't really have enough to tell
    Batiste dry shampoo in blush WIBA? Yes! I love batiste :j
    P&P face wash - the white, moisturising one WIBA? Maybe in winter, definitely not now.
    simple lip balm WIBA? Well, this is the free sample from a while ago, and I really like it so yes - handy for bags!
    Pearl Drops toothpaste WIBA? Yes, but not until I've finished my current mountain of the stuff :A
    Creative Nail Design Honeysuckle and Grapefruit hand and body lotion (wow, that's a long name! :rotfl:) WIBA? Again, handy for bags and it smells gorgeous - although the ultimate CND products are in the solar range :drool:
    CND Birch and mint hand and body lotion WIBA? Again, yes. Smells scrummy and refreshing.

    I've used up much, much more than that, but I've forgotten a lot of it :o

    Well I don't think I'll be buying toothpaste for some time yet....got an Arm and Hammer Bzz kit this afternoon, 1 full size and 10 smaller tubes of toothpaste.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    Afternoon all, have finished a marshmallow Liplicious. Really wanted to buy the new liquorice one when I was at Boots today (I do actually buy other brands too :rotfl:) but resisted, at least until I have a No 7 voucher. Might move on to trying to finish my Clinique glosses now, since I only have 2 Lipliciouses left, down from about 20 :o

    Forgive me girlies for I have sinned :o

    Whilst collecting a prescription in Boots today, I noticed the reduced aisle so had a little look whilst I was waiting and happened upon some L'Oreal wrinkle de-crease serum marked to a fiver (it's £14.99 on their web site).....................

    ......and well it was just too much temptation - especially when the nice SA left me have it free with my boots £5 off voucher :rotfl:

    If forgiven I promise to be a good girl and not enter either Boots or Superdrug or Body Care or even walk down the beauty aisle in the supermarket again until at least August ;)
