    One UU for me simple wipes WIBIA? no i was sent them to trial ages ago. I dont really use any sort of cleansing wipes as i dont feel like they clean my skin properly. i end up using them to clean up small mistakes when appliying make up or to take off the heavy duty make up after a night out but still have to wash my face afterwards.

    Finished a Tesco shampoo I bought on clearance - still have several left though. It is fine for a change. And finished a Botanics facial moisturiser, it was too thick for my face, so used it up on my body, hope that isn't cheating. Glad to see the back of it!

    I have one purchase to report, oops :D

    Was in a big Tescos last night, so went to hunt down the cheap vitamin E face wipes. I'm all out of face wipes, and like having them about for when i get home after a big night, and really can't be ar**ed to do anything other than collapse in bed :rotfl:And they were cheap (44p?) - and there was only 1 pack left on the shelf, so I couldn't hoard! Although I really wanted to - the stashing habit is still there.

    To repent I shall be giving all my No7 vouchers to a friend (3), and not buying any no7 facewipes. She buys nailpolish she doesn't need with them, which I get to use, but the stash is hers not mine :A

    One uu to report shower gel 50ml (freebie from hotel)
    and a couple of things thrown out Lush grease lightning almost a full bottle but a year out of date, I don't use it does nothing for my skin.
    BS lipstick again almost full and has been hanging around for years, dosen't suit me. What a waste of money.
    On a positive note went into boots on saturday OH needed blades my challenge is not to buy anything till Jan so I'm using my points for essenstials. Had 2660 blades were 650 was tempted to spend some more points but I resisted. YAY so proud of myself.

    Well done, I think the No 7 vouchers can be a bit of a menace.Great when you're focussed and really need something, but otherwise they can feel like you've got a fiver in your hand that it'd be wrong to waste and can encourage unnecessary additions to the stash (like the damn sun protection hairspray thing I succumbed to last time, used a couple of times and is now cluttering up my drawer...and it's way too heavy for my minimal 10kg holiday packing style)
  • I have to confess to using my remaining No 7 voucher today :o. I got some Gentle Foaming Cleanser. I am currently using their facial wash and like it but I couldn't find exactly the same item in my local small Boots and so hope that I'll like this as much.

    To neutralise the "incoming" item, tomorrow I should use up some Boots Royal Jelly Body Souffle. WIBA? Most certainly, I love this and am sad that I will be using it up! I adore the texture and it smells like honeysuckle. I'm not sure that you can still get this variety though as the Royal Jelly I have seen recently contains extracts of honey. I have used some of this variety and have some waiting in the wings and do like it but not as much as the "honeysuckle" one.

    :eek: I think they were 28p in my local Tesco.
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Tonight ladies, I am mostly covered in "Sweet Snuggles".... the singularly most inappropriately named body lotion on the planet....

    God I hope it sinks in before I get up for work tomorrow!!! still, only half the bottle left to go....
