    my mum has just handed me a Boots £5 no7 voucher. I can feel a pack of face wipes will be finding it's way to my list tomorrow!
    hope you have the £1.75 needed to buy them:rotfl::rotfl:
  • Morning ladies! It's gorgeous and crisp outside,hope the sun is shining where you are!

    I received my TIGI Rockstar set from Asos yesterday and my Jemma Kidd blusher so you can guess what my hair was washed with and whats on my cheeks this morning :rotfl: just waiting on a make up brush, another pair of false eyelashes and my Tweezerman tweezers and I'll be sorted (I say another pair of lashes - i had forgotten i had ordered this when my mishap below happened...please don't judge me, i do wear these everytime I go out!!)

    I hadn't opened a new shampoo before this arrived as used some Batiste to tide me over a day, but there are some other conditioners on the go so will keep my tigi set on the shelf, and perhaps use these once a week until the other stuff is used up, so that means another shampoo to come out of the stash IYSWIM

    I did make some purchases from Fragrance Direct yesterday but they included 2x cans of Batiste, 8 :eek: sets of new false eyelashes in anticipation of the holiday season and they were too good a darned deal to miss out on!, 2x nude Rimmel nail polishes for day times now winter is setting in and I have things coming up where chipped bright colours won't be looked on nicely, and a lipgloss (needed as a drunken friend destroyed my beloved Benefit gloss at the weekend, this one is a cheapy one to tide me over until Christmas/NYC/Duty free ;) wherever I can get the best deal) for the princely sum of about £16 delivered. I do think I'll split my order up and not keep everything,

    Well I'm going to run along and play nicely :whistle: while I hope you gloss over my misdemeanour!

    Have a good day now ladies x

    Ooops, 2 more UUs from the weekend I'd forgotten about!

    Simple Intensive Night Cream. WIBA? No - i think this irritated my skin! I developed some weird not-quite spots on my face, so used the rest of this on my neck and decollete, and my face started getting better again. I have a pot of matching day cream unopened, and not sure if I should risk it now...
    Etre Dead Sea mineral mud mask. WIBA? If I could! This is really hard to find, and possibly also quite expensive... I got an almost full tub free from a relative, and I'm gutted I finished it. I loved putting it on (not something I often think with mud masks!) as it's so dense and dark. I'm not convinced how effective mud masks are as a whole, but this was probably the best I've used in terms of cleansing, and did leave my skin feeling quite velvety after. Lovely.

    one UU today - a tiny clinique exfoliator this morning. I was given it by a friend with a lot of other things as a thankyou for loaning her a dress.

    WIB ??? definately - it was wonderful !!! Proper scratchy (in a nice way!) and really felt like it was doing nice things to my skin. Got a few to work through before I buy, though might try to sneak it into a Christmas list if I can....


    Quoted this to say - it wasnt Clinique - it was a CHANEL face exfoliator that was so amazing... (just in case anyone was thinking about finding a sample or anything!!)

    Having said that - its this one, and £31??!!!!! :eek::eek::eek:

  • I'm in again for November! The only fly in the ointment (joke) is I've ordered moisturiser, eye cream and cleanser from Avon.

    I had a catalogue put through my door last month and ordered a straightener case and heat mat in pink for £4 (not strictly toiletries so I didn't 'fess up). When it was delivered, I discovered my "Avon lady" was about 9, delivering with her dad. It was so sweet I felt it would be rude not to order this month. So a night cream, eye cream and cleanser for under a tenner. Bargain, really, and I'm helping a budding entrepreneur.
