    Ooops, remembered one purchase as well - one of the tween sets from asos for £5! You lot on this thread are to blame for that one :rotfl:
    (I got the rockstar duo - I love TIGI, and wanted to try this one for ages :j)

    well it would have been rude of me not to pass on the bargain :rotfl: i am just hoping that it comes now!!!!

    I also got a jemma kidd blusher for £3 delivered, a blusher brush, some anatomical gift set, and i managed to get some babygro's for a baby shower i have next week and some pampering gifts for the mum-to-be!

    I think I managed to do it in the most MSE way, got about £100 for £10 :eek:

    Snow Fairy shower gel and Batiste dry shampoo.

    Would i buy them again? HELL YEAH! Batiste is now a very much needed staple for my inbetween washing days. And Snow Fairy is my fav product in the whole world!!

    I'm intrigued about the Snow Fairy as I'd not heard of it before - what brand is it and where do you get it from?
  • A UU Avon lime and passionflower volumising shampoo - WIBA no I dont think is could volumise its way out of a brown paper bag...

    A BS passionfruit shower gel - WIBA only if on offer, got a bit sickly smelling.

    Almost forgot! I have also UU an Avon skin softener that must be about 5 years old! Made a good foot cream in the end!

    It's from Lush, they only do it at Christmas time and i generally try to stock up on it for the year. Plus everyone knows i love it, so i get bottles for my christmas/birthday too.

    Just finished off my last bottle from last year, not touched this years one yet!

    It is amazing, it smells like sweets, and it's pink and glittery. They have brought out a lip balm of it this year too!

    Woohoo, one more UU today!

    Clinique Water Therapy hand cream. WIBA? No - I never bought in the first place, just got in a bonus time pack, but didn't think it was amazing, and I think there are better out there for less money. I've been using another of the same on my feet, which it's quite good for :)

    Now onto an EA hand cream...
