  • thanks footymadgal, I checked it out and the event at my local Boots just happens to be on payday - can't decide whether that's a good thing or a bad thing!

    I forgot to add that there are usually Boots shopping evenings in late November as well (although they won't advertise the dates until the October ones are out of the way) and possibly December. I usually go to one of the ones in November.

  • This morning I've UU a sachet of Thalgo Brightening Fluid (I think that's what it was called!). I've no more sachets of moisturiser left now and so I must crack on with using all the bottkes and tubes I've got. I'm currently using a Simple one at home, which is great for summer, and an Olay one for back up at work. I'm going to put the Simple one away and have a look through the stash for one that will be more suitable for autumn/winter weather.

    I'm so desperate to use something up I'm tempted to over indulge in bubble bath tonight. I've decided that I will melt down ends of soap, so I have at least started a new one...or one I used in a hotel and brought home, its lovely, very orange blossom scented. I did at least get as far a painting my nails (only the second time since I moved).

    Its also worth noting since I got to lazy to use as much body butter/moisteriser my skin is less soft.
    the cold weather is not helping my skin as i jump straight into my nice warm bed instead of putting body butter on!
    i hate the cold but at least it is sunny today,I wanted to hibernate yesterday when it was cold AND wet:(:(:(

    Another u/u!!

    Garnier Ultralift day moisturiser which I used as a night cream as it was quite rich. WIBA? No, sticking to Oil of Olay.

    :naughty: Save money on toiletries: no new/duplicate items until I've used up all existing supplies
  • An in for me - an unexpected full size aussie 3 min miracle hair mask for a trial

    I hope to be using up the dregs of a few products tonight in the bath, pamper time, and over the course of the next week, as i will be alone at home so can have an early bath and pamper every night without getting looks to say you shouldnt be lazing around in your PJs :rotfl: . I will be doing a full pamper over the course of the next 2 nights as i have a hectic weekend coming up ;)

    have a good evening girls!x

  • A UU - a Radox sleep easy bubble bath WIBA yes its lovely and doesn't contain lavender which I can't stand, makes me ill.x
  • In the shower this morning I UU a 75 ml Sanctuary Body Wash. WIBA? Yes, it's lovely, I'm a big fan of Sanctuary stuff. That's the last of my mini shower gels though and so it's on to the normal size bottles.
