    I had a sample of this and really liked it - not enough to buy it though as it's expensive and I prefer Clarins Water Comfort cleanser. Good old Clarins and their cleansers.....

    UU Sample of Lush I Love Juicy Shampoo. WIBA? Yes if I had the cash. Don't normally like LUSH stuff (well don't like the smell of the shop) but this is good. Smells yummy and cleans really well. Would use it as a once weekly proper clean.
    I'm trying to use up samples first so that I feel I'm making a bit of headway in my first few days!
    a friend got me into this melt and at 1st I did not rate it but now I use all the time,I stock up at bonus time so it is not too expensive and seems to last ages as you only need a 5p size blob:)

    had a good weekend at the spa and enjoyed my pedicure,the therapist really got rid of a lot of dry skin with a foot file then a little sort of grinding machine!only complaint was the offer included a free bottle of polish,the choice she showed me was very limited(inc blue and yellow!) so i picked a dark purple as wearing lots of purple at the mo.when it was finished she openned the cupboard and said choose which you want,I don't actually have the one I used on you:eek::eek::eek::eek:would not have chosed the purple if I had known,other choices not great so ended up with a plum one

    only another essential oil uu to report a cheap one by a brand called greenmill? anyway whouldnt buy them again as i think there are watered down a bit defo need lots to get any scent so if i treat myself to some more it will be the proper stuff yes it might cost 5 times the amount but you only really need 3-6 drops compared to 1/3 of a bottle of the cheap stuff!

    nails painted again yesterday and im half way through 2 bottles at last im currently using one light lilac and one dark plum depending on my mood

    got my free simple wipes sample 7 wipes..so thats going into the freebie stash that once all my stuff goes im trying to live off just stuff from £1 land and samples till my debts clear ...BUT i have started saving £1 a week from now to just before chrsitmas so i can treat myself to some yummy bath stuff when boots have thier 3 for 2 chrsitmas gifts out so i recon £16 i could get a few bits with?!

    anyway ive also started having mini pampers almost every day and it feels great! have a great week see you all soon
    total debt 4711.00 at lbm (4217.31) dfd aug 2012 :eek: overdraft 800 (400.00) kill overdraft first, loan 1500.00 ,creditcard 2411.00

    1 use up over the weekend:
    H&S menthol shampoo. WIBA? Yes - great if I've dyed my hair recently and scalp gets a little irritated, or after a particularly sweaty gym session :) I don't like any of the other H&S shampoos, but the menthol is just soooo refreshing.

    1 in as well though - freebie of Olay wakeup wonder. But I didn't splend anything, so that's ok right :A

    bad news ....its raining:(:(:(
    good news ....just booked a tesco holiday in Tenerife:):):)...2 and a half weeks to go:):):)

    warning to others wanting to book,despite having the tesco coupons the holiday company STILL took the full amount of money off my credit card (to refund when i send them the coupons)AND charged me 2%(total £22!!!!)if I had known would have transferred some money to debit card so no fee:(:(:(

    OK so this has nothing to do with toiletries:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:but wanted to tell someone other than close friends who might get a tad envious:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:...will of course be thinking of you all whilst lying on the beach!!!!

    I keep looking at holidays too - must be the prospect of winter weather looming over us. ;)

  • Well i thought I would join in your challenge!

    Im currently using Liz earles free samples of shampoo & conditioner WIBA no way, hair feels v soft but my scalp is itching off! think husband may be finishing it off!!

    Next to be used is the john frieda shampoo ( free with boots coupons.....ages ago, last bottle in the stash!)& the James Brown conditioner that was free on a magazine cover!!

    Skincare Im using up my vitamin E cleanser by superdrug WIBA yes, it was cheap & it worked! Moisturiser is Aveeno WIBA yes but bit pricey for how much you get.
