STOP PRESS!!!!

just had a letter from clarins to say the bonus time at Boots is 23rd sep to 10th Oct
choose 4 from 8 treats plus a bag when you buy 2 products(inc 1 skincare) and if you buy another skin care product you get an extra 2 travel size gifts(body serum and hand cream in a purse)

dont know if its available online

Yay that great stuff. If you've seen Confessions of a Shopoholic you'll know the phrase... (something like) you're like my MSE beauty buys sister! Thank you. :money: I know Clarins stuff is pricey but if you buy it at these times then at least you counteract some of that spend.

I can definitely hold on until the weekend to get this. I used the last squeeze of a Avene gentle cleanser - wiba nope - today. Just a few more scraps out of the pot of my existing Clarins cleanser. :A

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.

Happy Birthday for yesterday! Hope you had a fab day.

I like Miss Dior Cherie too and was pleased to receive a miniature in a perfume gift box at Xmas.

I had a bit of a Fail in Superdrug. They do a sachet face mask with berries, an exfoliating one, that I really like and it was on 4 for 3 so I grabbed some as I have a feeling its gonna be discontinued:(, but at £2.67 for 4 facemasks I don't feel too bad. Might get some more before they go:p

A UU today: a packet of Boots Handy Wipes.

I popped to the shops after work and found myself in Boots eyeing up the Xmas gifts. I was only looking but now I want The Sanctuary Spa - Kyphi and Mande Luxury Body Treats (in a beautiful red vanity case) which is £20. I fell in love with the case and can picture myself using it when staying in a hotel - I could transport all my toiletry goodies in it! I also liked a Giles Deacon for Toni & Guy Daily Style Statement Bag £20. I'd probably get more use from this one. I've just had a look on the Boots website and there's a weekender bag in the same design for £40 :eek:. I'm a sucker for bags. All of these are on the 342 offer but with a bit of luck maybe the weekender bag will be one of the half price offers of the week running up to Xmas.

Hmmm, that's given me something to think or rather dream about! Maybe I can put one of these items onto my Xmas list. I usually take advantage of one of the Boots Xmas points offer nights and so will definitely not succumb until then at least.

footymadgal I;m thinking the same they look lush but so far have resisted. I really don't need anymore bags.

Me too, my bag fetish is as bad as my toiletry fetish! I will definitely hold off until the Xmas points nights, put one of the bags down on my Xmas list or wait until the sale. If I get really lustful I could always use my Advantage points as I've got over £20.

I took my makeup off last night using the last wipe from Simple Spotless Skin Quick Fix Cleansing Wipes (freebie). They had a lovely subtle fresh smell.

another two uus hotel showergel 27ml
Simple spotless skin wipes 25pk (not the freebies) WIBA? maybe they were ok don't use wipes often and think they're all more or less the same anyway.

2 x UUs! Yay. UU Ren Frankincence & Boswellia Night Cream (full size) WIBA? Yes if I got rich. It's £30 but it smells divine and is just right moisturising-wise.

UU Mini Clinique Turnaround concentrate. WIBA? Maybe. Also expensive - this was a freebie left over from a bonus time a long time ago. I like it but don't love it.

a small UU for me today - acqueous cream (the one left at work). Am i sad to be upset that i hadn't added it to my list therefore can't take it off now? lol
have put the tiny dermol in the works bathroom which has been lingering in my handbag for ages and it probably won't last out today so that's another one gone.
