Evening ladies,

Another UU to report, Good works body scrub that I bought as part of a set in Boots after Christmas sale in January. I haven't enjoyed using up any of the Good Works products. Nearly all gone now thankfully apart from a body spritzer that I am currently using as a bathroom spray in order to use it up.

.

I liked those but they seem to have disappeared from my local Boots recently. Maybe they didn't sell very well.

I'm starting to think about what I will put on my Xmas want list if anybody asks! I automatically think about toiletries but should I be putting them on the list this year? I will have to have a careful look at my stash to check what I definitely don't need more of and to see if there are any areas that it wouldn't hurt to add to. I'd be interested to know what toiletries you ladies are dreaming of opening on Xmas Day...

I want Orifluido or Moroccan oil for hair, a Nuxe moisturiser, can't remember the name, it's in a green pot and a No7 Mirror, the big one that lights up and is usually half price for Christmas. I like the mini soap and glory hat box too. The Christmas stock is up on the Boots website, catalogue not out yet though.

I've become really good at the no-toiletries challenge recently, haven't bought anything and I'm going to be very selective about what I buy from the Christmas stock seeing as I have loads left over from last Christmas.

One "in" to report here - as planned I walked into town and back this afternoon (using the iPhone Pedometer App - over 12,000 steps and just over 8km!) and took my Body Shop voucher from OH's paper yesterday with me - stuck to the plan and just got a shower gel, only the one as well in spite of the "buy more, save more" offer on those at the moment, so just £1 spend. Got the Satsuma one this time but it will go into the cupboard until I've used some of the more boring ones I think!

there was a Clarins offer at Debs a while ago but guess it may be over,have you tried Clarins own site?they sometimes have good offers and they send the things out beautifully packaged with free samples of your choice,also some of the online sites like halfprice perfumes(go through Quidco etc) have some things on cheap but not the full range so you have to look through them,hope this helps:)

tHANKs Bronnie & Rosemary54 for the tips. I will double check my overnight bag and see if there are any cleansers lurking in there before I take the plunge. Whenever John Lewis do a Clarins bonus they tend to be the best with travel sizes of 30ml not just 15ml, every little helps.

Used up:
BOdy Shop peppermint foot spray - wiba no. Nice smell, made my feet feel sticky!
Crabtree & Evelyn night cream - wiba no. ONly a sachet so difficult to tell but nothing remarkable.

Frantically trying to use up:
Champneys dry spray oil - wiba no. Leaves a nice sheen on the skin but is oily to the touch at first, whatever the label says. Will go back to my stash of body butters after used this up.

Happy pampering :A

Last week I finally managed to UU the soap and glory mini shower gel I received for Christmas. WIBA? No, I don't really like the smell of the S&G range. I have since opened up one of the No7 blissful body washes with strict instructions that nobody else is allowed to use it!
DD used up the Vera wang princess body polish. WIBA? Depends on price. I like the smell. I don't think it's very exfoliating and it has annoying little beads so probably not!
Also UU a bar of soap. WIBA? Was a gift with a soap dish, don't like soap as it leaves scummy residue on me and the bath, so NO!
Went to a ball on Saturday night so since then I've been feeling a little too delicate (knackered and hungover) to put my face on! Will try harder tomorrow when I get up to get the kiddies from school

Lively 'in' - It was my Birthday yesterday and someone got me Miss Dior Cherie Eau de Parfum. Yay.
Also was given a £30 giftcard for boots so glad to hear there will be a Clarins offer soon.

Lots of Ins and not many UUs but have stuck to my purchasing rule and have only bought one thing (which I didn't have in my stash)

Also pleased with myself as went away for the weekend and packed hungover so forgot everything! I forgot serum (major absence), conditioner spray and more. The old me would have used it as an excuse for a beauty binge but I just went without! Yay for me.....

Well done on all your UUs!

A couple of UU's BS Peach shower gel WIBA - not really bit to sickly smelling for my liking. Also a Burts Bees lip balm WIBA - probably not as I prefer the BS lip butters.
