    No more UU to report but a slight spend. Had an email from Perfume Parlour about their new oils so had to order as there were 2 I'd been hoping for (Boss Orange & Miss Dior Cherie) and an old fave Samsara. £7 including P&P so not so bad really :D

    IlonaRN the challenge was to buy no toiletries in september so the first 5 items on your list do not count as they where free! :D

    do you recoomend buying on ebay do you get good bargins..i cant say ive ever thought of that before!

    2 uu bs wild cherry shower gel wiba? not unless it was free with 2 body butters again i buy the bidy butters because i have very dry skin and one pot will last me 6 months so i spend £25 on 2 pots and got the showergel free..but i think the gel alones about £7? cant say it smelt that good , but it did latehr well and wasnt drying, but it was quite runny

    and also boots own instensive coconut and somthing or other hair mask wiba? no didnt do much really was £5 for a bigish pot but i the aussie 3 min miricle whould have done better and its over £1 cheaper too

    and i also have a quite few things on there last usings yay!..off to update list

    the best bit is i now have got one whole empty drawer in my chest of drawers in the bathroom so the kids bath toys have gone in there thus creating 2 lots of additional space as i have got rid of there (well donated it) of there little plastic storage crate that had toys in :D o feel great this am

    sorry ladies ,it is a photo of a kitten next to some make up brushes,it worked for me but no idea why you can't see it
  • :j:j Another UU! Body Shop Mango Shower Gel - this was one of the items I got when I shamelessly abused two Telegraph vouchers earlier in the year when there was also a BOGOF on - got two Body Butters and two shower gels for a total spend of £8.50 I think it was. :DWIBA? Absolutely - probably the next time there is a Telegraph voucher! Lathered brilliantly, didn't leave my skin dry and itchy and to my utter astonishment smelt fantastic! I sometimes find that mango scented products can smell a bit like dog-slobber (Yes, I know!) but this one certainly doesn't! I must admit though I couldn't justify spending £6 on it, regardless of how good it is!

    I have a Botanics one to go on to next - bit wary as I'm sure that someone or another said they'd just used one that they really didn't like? Oh well, we'll see!

  • hiya ladies i have some UU and some which i am not happy about :(:(:(
    I have one batiste UU - WIBA Yes no need to explain!!
    One deoderant UU WIBA yes it was an Asda's own aerosol and smelt nice and done the job!
    One dove (blue) shampoo WIBA yes i love the clean soapy fresh smell - is that sad lol
    I will be UU the dregs of another Fake Bake beyond bronze.....and i found another one to add to the new one I have just opened! they must be multiplying on me :rotfl: i won't complain it is my second best one!!

    But I am devestated that I came back after my final uni exam ever (fingers crossed) and somehow my pure perfume oil that I got in Egypt of Dior Miss Dior Cherie had somehow managed to jump down from towards the back of the shelf (7ft up - for safe keeping!!) and smash all over my bedroom carpet spilling all 50mls of it!!!!!!! on the plus side my bedroom smells gorgeous and i hope it lasts :rotfl: I saw that someone mentioned perfume oils earlier - do you have the company and types? many thanks in advance i need something to cheer me up now!!

    I have one new item - the simple sample wipes arrived today, great size for me to take away on my celebrations this weekend!

    have a good night ladies x
