  • I just wanted to say really quickly that i'm in for this month again, i havent posted for ages but I kept trying to writing my use ups, WIBAs and what incomings i had but because it always took me ages to write mse always logged me off! :mad:

    And I would also say to, I think Rosmary? (Sorry if i'm wrong) but that was great news about your son :D

    the freebie nails inc varnish I got with this months Glamour mag was a pale pink - might be worth a look, think the magazine is only about £2 ??

    Wish I had seen this before popping into Boots, ended up not deciding between 2 shades so got both and since it was 3 for 2 had to get a third one so end up spending £8.50 and got another £5 voucher - Head down in shame :(. To top it up went scouting for baskets to make hampers and to use the £5 debenhams voucher; going to add it all up but fear now for my weekly spending pledge. Not a good start of the month

    IN
    N7 Stay Perfect - French pink
    N7 Stay Perfect - Clear
    N7 Speed Dry - Heather

    UU for me this morning.....Original Source Winter Goji Berry Shower Gel WIBA? YES! So lovely, smells gorgeous but not too strong and my skin loves it.

    I'm a big Original Source fan and I liked this one a lot too but I think it was last winter's limited edition product so I'm not sure if you'll get hold of it again. :( I spotted some in my local pound store a few months ago so bought a bottle to stash away.
  • Evening all,

    I thought I'd be the first to announce a UU for November, but I've been beaten by 2 people! :)

    UU: L'Oreal Nutrilift body moisturiser 250 ml. WIBA? Perhaps, if it was on offer. It was quite moisturising and sank in fairly quickly, and smelt nice. I think it was supposed to be 'firming' but I didn't notice any of that (do they ever work?!). Now back to Aveeno, yay!

    I don't intend to buy anything other than mouthwash and a concealer this month. Famous last words... :)

    Morrisons still have these in! Well the one i work in does!

    another UU...well kind of i gave my friend a Fizzbanger bath ballistic.
    and one IN, my mum bought me nose pore strips today, so technically not my fault!
  • Morrisons still have these in!

    Ooo, cheers, I'll have to have a look! :)
  • Right - well I've finally bitten the bullet and listed my stash. I'm not really a massive hoarder when it comes to makeup so haven't included that.

    As you can see my main problem is moisturisers (especially cocoa butter!). I just can't seem to resist! And the worst thing is that they are all opened!! So naughty of me! No more buying until I've used up at least 3/4 of them! Eeek! I think I will get withdrawals!!

    Hopefully will be able to report my first UU shortly as my Sanctuary body butter is spluttering away nicely!

    okay, a few ins and outs to report - needless to say I am in again this month :)

    In:
    • Nails Inc varnish - free with Glamour, pale pink version.

    Out:
    • John Frieda hair dye mousse. WIBA? Don't know - it did go on really nicely, and virtually no smell, no stinging etc... But it sounds like it will be a fair bit more expensive than other hair dyes. So I'll maybe buy it on offer.
    • 2 x Aubrey Organics shampoo sachets. WIBA? No - I was quite excited to try these, but they felt really difficult to get through my hair. Virtually no lather, but that didn't bother me, they just didn't feel very cleansing and hard work, which is a bit useless for my long hair.
    • Green People Reviving Day & Night Cream sachet. WIBA? Maybe - this was really nice! Lovely smell and texture.

    Also a few things not quite used up, but outgoing anyway...
    • Toni & Guy shine glaze - binned as years old and found leaking at the bottom of a box! Wasn't using it anyway :D
    • Also 4 assorted hair finishing products for ebay - I've found my HG products, so no point in keeping these! All brand new. If they don't sell, i'll donate to a charity shop. One tester toiletry set to also get listed as I have plenty anyway :cool:

    I'm impressed by the stash lists posted to far, very nice!

    I'm greased up like I'm ready to swim the channel here :D. I'm using Rivage emollient hand cream- freebie from my neighbour. It has a nice light smell to it and is lovely and thick. So nice and moisturising that I decided to treat my legs and feet with it too. It was a bit chilly upstairs when I got out of the bath so I only put on my night cream. Now I'm cosy downstairs, I thought I could get on and moisturise.
    Like the look of some of the products on peoples stash lists but I will not be swayed. Need to add a new scrubby to my Christmas list too as mine is unravelling.
    Forgot to put perfume on this morning. I think it's because it's all in the bathroom and I moved all my makeup and my deodorant through to the dressing table last night. Might move through a bottle and see if I remember to use it there.
    I keep getting a nice surprise when I iron my scrub tops, I get a nice blast of vera wang. It must soak into the material and then not wash out. That's nice isn't it? It makes ironing worthwhile somehow :)
