• Elizabeth Arden toner 15ml
• Aveda Tourmaline charged radiance fluid 5ml
• Soap+Glory flake away scrub travel size
• Lancome primordiale serum 10ml GWP size
• LUSH mini tin of hand cream
• Box of Tesco wax strips
• La Roche Posay Iso-Urea body lotion 15ml

• Perfectil Skin/hair/nails vitamins 7 day trial pack
• Pack of Aldi cotton wool
• Eye q omega3 capsules 1 full box

Total spend €69.83 It’s lower than last month and does include contact lenses but I doubt my willpower to ever get this total spend down to zero.

• 1-8th June no purchases
• June 10th-18th: Made regular trips to all local branches of Boots to search for the clearance hair products. Ended up with 26 bottles of hair products for a total price of €24.84. This was a fantastic bargain because all of these products are €7-11 each at full price. Won’t buy any more hair products for the rest of the year I promise!
• Bought the half price Ghost perfume set at Debenhams €16.50 (Grabbit board)
• Bought Glamour, Marie Claire and Red magazines for the freebies (Benefit eye pencils, Jemma Kidd lipgloss+Cowshed shower gel)
• Bought contact lenses
• Acquired quite a few perfume samples and other freebies
• Have decided not to buy L’oreal hair products any more, my hair doesn’t like them

Well off the wagon again, I seem to have a problem with bargains!

Got 2 charles worthington heat sprays in my local Boots today down from £5.49 to £1.38 - got 2 so I could use one of my £2 off haircare so actual spend 76p.

I then got 2 dove deodrants in Sainsburys £1.02 each less 50p moc so total spend £1.04.

Hopefully the rest of the month will go better

• Jemma Kidd lip Gloss Fuchsia
  (Free gifts with magazines) £6

I've only just ordered the OPI and the Mally stuff so if, when it all arrives it's not all totally amazing I'll send it back I promise.

I'm a little bit disappointed in myself cos I started out the month so well behaved, but I'm pretty sure that I spent a bit less than usual - so I'll just have to do better this month.

Have a lovely weekend everyone! :j

Used up a hair dye last night: a Boots own in Rich Mahogany. Well, it's come out purple on me but I quite like it at the moment and OH thinks it looks ok too! Will judge it after a few washes when the colour has toned down. I got this from a clearance shelf last year, it only cost £1.60 and so a bargain.

My lovely OH has decided he will buy this for me today:

I saw it in this month's Tesco magazine and it looks lovely and like it might be a bargain, will smell it in store today and see what I think

My daughter loves that it smells lovely and the lemon one also smells nice, I usually buy them when they are on offer. I am sure you will like it.

Thanks for the tip, may get both! Been using hotel shower gel for a month now so I want a treat (she says, ignoring the Soap and Glory bottles in the stash...)

Although not strictly off the wagon - I have to confess to spending in Boots (Gemini Retail Park) yesterday........

I bought 3 packets of flight socks that were on offer (£12.99 each or 3 for £15) - I actually paid £2.01 for all 3 packets due to a glitch - see my post on grabbits :j

Only 1 UU to report - an Alberto Balsam pomegranite conditioner - WIBA - nope didn't think it anything special.

Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend X

UU - finally the Herbal Essences Pink conditioner - WIBA? not sure, didn't irritate my skin but felt waxy sometimes.
don't need to think about it for a while though as have loads of others in stock
