Got some Ted Baker reduced cosmetic bags, QUOTE]

I hope I can find some of these reduced - I can't resit nice toiletry bags when they are on offer!

I don't tend to go to Boots now but OH is always in there buying moisturiser for himself. He seems to go through loads of the stuff. I wouldn't mind but he lost the £5 voucher!

freebies this week
(a health spa was closing that my friend was working on, and everything had been abandoned.......)
10 Clarins eyeshadows
Clarins lipglosses
Decleor goodies and more to come tomorrow :-)
Olay eye pod things, Estee Lauder samples and Olay wrinkle filler

Lucky you, I fancy trying some Decleor things but can't justify the price. I even have a salon that uses Decleor where I live but again can't justify the prices. Maybe I'll treat myself to a facial one day

No UU yet, but I should have some by the time I come back from holiday....got some trial-size Pantene Aqua? to use, some Botanics shower gel and something else that I can't remember....

well I gave her a pair of riding boots that don't fit me in exchange
apparently they took wheelbarrow loads out :eek:
Just tried the decleor cleansing milk which was nice. I'm actually going for a Dermalogica facial on Monday because my skin is SO awful. I usally have fairly clear skin, but for the last month I've got huge sore lumps/spots all on my chin and jawline so I'm going to see what she can do. It's actually a website offer they run and I pay £30 for an hour

My boy is lovely at times, he had to buy some bits from Boots and came back proudly brandishing a £5 off No7 voucher for me. God knows what I'll find to buy that I actually need which doesnt require spending too much extra cash though!

Hiya
Sorry I have given up trying to post the list of my stash, it went on for 4 sides of A4, I would type it up then throw it out as I pressed submit reply:(
If I'm honest when I was compiling the list on Sunday once I got to the end I just cried and cried. All I kept thinking of was the amount of money I have spent over the years most of it on my credit cards that I've not ever been able to clear at the end of the month, so the stash as it is has cost me more in the end than I ever thought I was saving with BOGOFs and TSV's etc.
On Monday I photo copied the list so I can carry it round with me so there's no way I can think that I am running out. I was getting board of my Elemis cleanser and kept thinking that I wanted to try something else and did start to look. BUT I have 6 LE C&P plus 3 Decleor ones:o

All this and I still have not bought ANYtoiletries since 10 Dec last year other than cotton wool pads and deodorant and I've given loads away too

Without joining the challenge in Jan I hate to think what a state I would be in. So thanks to every one of you:A
I have been a bit lax the last month or so, not pampering as I might....so this weekend will be treat time...

Sorry this post is getting a bit maudlin. Just thinking again of all the money involved.

Any howUUthis month
Elimis Cellutox Active Body Concentrate WIBTA No didnt notice any difference at all.
Elimis Exotic Island Body Balm WIBTA No Didnt like the smell, was not sure if it was off or not. When I was in London a while ago I had a sniff of this and it smelt the same as mine....Not nice.
Elimis Monoi Moisture Melt WIBTA once again No. Didnt like the smell and it was just such a faff to melt it to use it. Though it was good at moisturising the ends of my hair.
Elimis Tan Accelerator WIBTA No as we had the sun earlier in the year and since I started to use it the sun has gone away somewhat so its difficult to test if it works IUSWIM.
Sorry for the long post. Least it hasn't lost it yet:T

Right off to make dinner and a pamper after
Take care
Peedie

Forgive me if I'm being out of line, but the large spots on your chin and jawline sound hormonal.

3 UU today. On a roll using up my near empty stuff atm!

Sure Women Aqua Deodorant. WIBA? Totally, once I've used the rest of my stash. One of the best I've used so far.

Imperial Leather Snug as a Bug. WIBA? No. I do have another in my stash, but still wont buy it again after that. I'll admit my favorite ever bubble bath is a kids one. One from Asda, that smells of cherries and has a little piggy on the front? It's only 80p, so I'll be sticking to that afterwards.

Boots Lemon Body Wash. WIBA? No. Really dried my skin out and made it quite itchy. On the plus side, I'm using more body lotion to give my skin a good drink and sooth it a little!

Used £11 worth of products up since I started this. Not much really, but better than spending another £11!

not at all - that's exactly what the facialist said!! Either that or stress
I am puzzled if it is hormonal though as I am on the pill and thought that kept your hormones pretty stable?
