No Buying Toiletries in December Challenge

Rosemary - it's Stratford, East London I went to, where they are basing the olympics - they are building a MASSIVE Westfields shopping centre there, will definitely be a treat for us ladies when it opens - even the outside has a big gold section! (not sure if it's real gold - I wouldn't think so being in London! - but it looks nice and shimmery!))

Have a nice time in the other Stratford! I'm sure there will be lots of naughty temptations there too x

hi all,
got a UU yay! Herbal essence rose hip shine shampoo WIBA - yes but i have a feeling i got these bottles when they were being sold off cheap as a new range was coming in. Everytime if find the HE shampoo that works for me they bloomin change the range again.

isn't it strange, sometimes all you want to do is finish something, clear some space and declare a U/U, but being good MSE'rs we open the tubes and get a load more use out of them!

I don't usually do that! But I'll have to try it on my next tube!

ooops silly me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I don't often go to the big city...last time was to the masters tennis and no shops,I live in a small village so big cities are a bit overwhelming and I tend to get shopped out(but not as bad as DH who needs a coffee as soon as we arrive anywhere:eek:...still as its my birthday and he has yet to buy me any Christmas pressies I should be ok for shopping on monday:):):))

afternoon ladies,
a few in's to report, my elemis package arrived today so now have hand & body lotion, cleanser, shower gel, moisture melt and pro-collagen marine cream to add to the stash, not feeling even a tiny bit guilty either!:eek:
think I need to revisit the terms of this challenge;)

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?

I think Dandelion is pretty versatile. I use it all year round - tan easily so am darker in the summer and more sallow in the winter. I tend to wear it with a bit of bronzer in the summer months. I'm sure the girls on the counter will help you out - they're usually really good from my experience.

Hurrah! Can report two OUTs - was nattering with my upstairs neighbour earlier on - she has brown hair too and it suddenly occurred to me that she might appreciate the John Frieda Brunette range - which some of you might remember I bought quite a lot of on that Tesco glitch earlier in the year. It's nice, but not quite a HG product, so I dug out a shampoo and conditioner from the stash and gave to her. Considering I easily have enough shampoo and conditioner to see me right through next year as well I should think it wasn't any hardship to me to shift those, and did her a favour, so we both win!

Another UU to report. Toni & Guy Detox It Shampoo Mini. Got it years ago for monthly weekend trips down south (different water so my hair got dull and heavy) . Stoped using it when I stoped going away there. Recently revived for a few weekend trips away. Would buy again if regularly heading down south again.

Also a couple of splutterers in my Boots Dry Shampoo and simple roll on. Both should be done in the next week.

EH That was very neighbourly of you. Your good deed of the day is done.

Three UU for me - 1 almondy bomb from Lush (found the two boxes from 1998 under the table in the hall !!) WIBA? no. even without my boycott - i didnt like it.
S&G Flake Away trial size (from my hatbox) WIBA? - yes. really love this,you can really feel it working
Sanctury Body Butter (at last - this stuff lasted almost as long as that flipping sweet snuggles stuff!!) WIBA? no. Mum was given this as a present,and gave it to me cos she doesnt use bbs, and I prefer others.

Happy weekend everyone !!

Good for you ladies, well done (except sunshineyday, tut!!!). :rotfl:

I confess - I bought 9 BS lip butters but in my defence they are my ultimate HG product and I always stock up when they're on offer. I also got a Jolly Orange body butter free (going straight into gift stash) and they worked out at £1.77 each, which was fab considering they're £5 each instore.

I'm also getting the £45 P&P Intense set from my mum for Christmas. I have about 4 GWPs from recent glitches and am going to eBay all but one of them so that should make a few £s.

BUT - I am sitting out the S&G OOTW this year as I really do not need it! This is a big thing for me.
