Im feeling very smug, I deleted it immediately.:j Even though I could justify almost £70 there (halfway through my moisturiser,spluttering face exfoliator and adore the perfume!!!) I dont have £70 to spend!!!

2 x UU's to report, but also some IN's, although bargainous ones!

UU:
BS Soap - I think it was Tangerine, or Satsuma. Something citrussy anyway! WIBA? yes, probably would actually - smelt nice, wasn;t drying on the hands, and as it was "bought" using a Telegraph voucher ages, ago, it was free too! We've now gone on to a "Spiced winter" soap that OH got given at christmas last year. Still another of the winter ones and an Imperial Leather in the stash though.
Nivea Deodorant - WIBA? No - bought it first time round as it was new and on offer, but I didn't find it left me feeling very secure that is was going to work IYKWIM? Not too bad this time of year but wouldn't want to be using it on the first hot day of summer! :rotfl: Got a Mitchum spray out to use next - there's nothing on earth would get by that!

IN:
Telegraph voucher - OH is a Telegraph subscriber so this effectively cost nothing to get!
I had my Avon delivery today - as well as loads of stuff for my customers of course, I also got:
Planet Spa Goji Berry face mask - about 79p I think
Planet Spa Lotus Flower face mask & Planet spa Lotus Flower body cream - the two items together cost me 50p as a customer had ordered a single item costing £5.50, but there was a 3 for £6 offer on the range! Actually, because of the commission, the two items were only 37.5p!
Skin So Soft Bath & Body oil - I bought two sets of products as customer free gifts - 5 products from the range for £5 (£3.75 to me!) and have nicked one of the bath oils as I'm out of bath stuff completely at the moment.
Worked out when putting my orders on the system that "creative ordering" meant I could get two extra free gift sets that were being given away with certain purchases. This consisted of a shimmering body lotion, a mascara and a nail varnish. I've given one of the extra sets to a customer who had qualified for it but hadn't realised she had, and will use the other body lotion and mascara as free gifts, but I do confess to having swiped the nail varnish myself as it's a lovely colour!

Shall I get going on my lines now then?!

I'm struggling at work today just want to curl up on the sofa with a duvet and sleep and watch Dawson's Creek for some strange reason - will have to look out my boxset this weekend!! I think something must have reminded me of it yesterday as I had a yummy dream about Joshua Jackson last night :rotfl: naughty roshy!

I have had many a dream about him, yum!!! :rotfl:

15% off Benefit at Debenhams at the moment-instore and online till Sunday.
I usually use Benefit's Coralista-would Dandelion be too much on pale skin and blonde hair?

It is fab. I have exactly the same colouring and Dandelion is the best product ever. Try it out, you'll love it!

I too could spend £70 ob BeneFit's website but will resist!!! It gets easier each time

evening ladies,
couple of uu's to report, quickies nail polish remover pads, I do like these as they are really convenient, also uu a tesco mouthwash - will definitely buy this again, it's really cheap and does the job well, my kind of product!

UU Toni and Guy Jamelia Shampoo WIBA? I would! I'm not sure you can get it any more and it doesn't have the integrity of ingredients I like in my haircare really, but my hair certainly liked it. Big Thumbs up. :T It cost 99p for 250ml in Savers.

Ooh, I'll have to dig one of these out of my stash next, then!
I have a whole bag full of the Tony and Guy Model Me range, from when Boots discounted them to get rid of them, the £2 hair care vouchers worked on them.... and someone nice sent me loads of vouchers!!

i'm in for this this month as well it's doing my bank balance a favour i'm sure!..x

I'm glad to be of use! :j I'd buy more if I saw it anywhere, ever. Even though it must be quite old by now! :eek:

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news missfit but from previous reviews on this thread, those who use the dandelion can't find anything comparable for less money. Same with the touche eclat. Some things it seems are "worth it"!

I don't have Dandelion in my stash at the mo' but I never found anything like it. I think I tried obvious copies of it and other things that people recommended, but they just were't the same. That goes double for Touche eclat.

But if you ever do any time travel and need to blend in back in 1983 I'm your girl! :rotfl:

Seriously though, why not go along to a make up counter and get done over? They may be able to show you a new way of life. Or have a look at some of the tips on youtube, there are lots of make up peeps on there.
No UU's for me. I will soon finish a couple of things which were nearly full sizes though
and I HAVE finished the christmas shopping

I am an avid make up tutorial YouTuber. The hard sell can be a bit annoying at makeup counters - but making them teach you stuff and give you freebies makes it easier to bear.

At Bobbi Brown in John Lewis recently every time they tried to sell me something I got out my typed and alphabetized a4 list to see if I already had it - and mostly I already did! I was very annoying. :D:p:D

My Crimbo shop is all done too. I wonder how many weeks it'll be before I begin the wrapping? :D
