mandymoomoo_2

Hey girlies....noe been on here for a few days, and wow, there was a lot to catch up on. Glad to still be using stuff up this month.

UU today are:

* Chanel Chance Perfume - WIBA? - yes, I think its lovely, but got one coming as a belated xmas present
* Fcuk Whipped body butter - WIBA? - Yes, this stuff is sooooo nice. Got another big tub to use up in my stash
* Olay wipes - WIBA? - No these don't feel as good as the No7 ones
* S&G Hair supply - WIBA? - Yes, think this stuff is great, and makes y hair smell lush...I know it's not everyones cup of tea, but I think it's lovely

Think that's it for now, so not bad. Keep up the good work everyone.

Nite x

....... now I'm left with bottles of cleanser. Is toner actually worth bothering with?

I like to use a toner as it cleans my face of cleanser and freshens it before I put my on serum & moisturiser.

I'm experimenting with LUSH Toner Tabs at the moment and it's lovely and soft but refreshing

Does anyone who uses a body puff also use body scrubs as well. I've thought about putting my shower gel in one of my liquid soap pump bottles and using a body puff I've got but also have body scrubs to use up as well and didn't want to scrub my skin too much.

Like others I use a scrub as well. My puff is a lovely Elle MacPherson one (from the body set) which is really soft - unlike most other puffs I have came across.

:wave: Welcome to all the newbies - good luck.

I am loving all of the stash lists - we need some pics though

No UU's so far but my Jasper Conran Body Lotion is spluttering and should be finished tomorrow.

No IN's either but I did head off to Superdrug to buy the Bastise Dry Shampoo. But fate is obviously judging my heaving stash and determined that I have enough already as it was not on offer at the Superdrug I went to... so feeling very :A by accident not design.

Really nice touch with the pink rose candle being incorporated into the origional post and lovely story about the tiara (can't remember who posted it sorry - too many pages to catch up on)

My problem is that I forget what I have because I have so much. On Monday ( still January!) I went and bought straightening spray because my Schwarzkopf one is coming to the end, I would definately buy again but the Boots I went in didn't have any so ending up buying 2 L'oreal Paris Studioline at 2 for £4. Gone through my stash now and by no means did I need anymore!!

You could return these? You know they'll be on offer somewhere when you need to replace and you'll be able to get the one you actually wanted?

i use my puff when i use shower gel only, when i use my body scrub i just use my hands.
HTH

Yes, that's what I do. I like to think my hands are getting the benefit of the exfoliator too then. You also don't get lots of beads stuck in your puff (no euphamism!).

I bought the No7 blissful body wash once too, it was £11 for 3 (3for2 plus £5 voucher ) but I don't really like it that much either. I gave one to mum (who loves it) and the other is in the gift cupboard lol.

I think it was me who recommended it to you Tara. My tube has been open since the summer. I had a sample tube from the Christmas GWP which is what made me buy it. It has got until next Monday to dramatically improve and impress me or I will be returning them (one at a time obviously ). Including the half used one that I currently have :cool:. I don't want a product that suddenly stops working half way through using it. Why would I?

I never did go and look in my stash drawer for another lotion, I was looking on ebay as I had a message from someone asking about a bed so I started looking on there. I saw a dress that I have 2 of in my wardrobe and it's listed at £49.99 BIN. I have bookmarked it and will be listing mine as soon as I'm free. Does anyone else think that French Connection seems to hold its price better when it's worn and in good condition rather than being new with tags but a few seasons old? Funny that isn't it?
I need to get more than £15 for the NWT dress. I'm going to list it on my works intranet tomorrow night to see if I can sell it here first. Fingers crossed for me!

I'm in again. Hven't posted since early January but didn't buy anything although I came close a few times. I used up a few odds and ends also.

I may need to buy a couple of bits and pieces this month but aim to keep it to a minimum. I think I will need facial wipes but I only buy Tesco 47p ones anyway. I have nearly used up all of my favourite perfume (Marc Jacobs Daisy) but will try to resist buying any more for now, unless I see a really good offer.

2 UU to report:

John Frieda sheer blonde daily shampoo- I have been doing the CO wash but my hair was feeling a bit heavy and I was sick of seeing the last bit of this shampoo in the shower so I used it up:rotfl:This was brought on a huge specail, I think it was around 50 cents WIBA? no as I thought it was too harsh and i dont have dyed hair anyway.

Alberto strawberries and cream conditioner- I grabbed this from my bfs bathroom (yes we have seperate bathrooms:D) as it had a tiny bit left so I chopped it open and used the last bit up. WIBA? no, I wasn't that keen on it.

It's funny doing this has made me realise I quite enjoy finishing things up and also that there are only a few things that I would buy again and feel sad if they are finished. I think I would prefer to have less stuff and love most of it (still want to have the occassional thing that is different just because I like trying new things- body butters work well for this urge as they are quite inexpensive).

Puss14, that's PRCP in action, Pink Rose Candle Philosophy. (see my sig and the amended OP for this month) Enjoy using your lovely things. If I was buying this year I would agree about the body butters. They also use up quickly if they turn out to have been not such a good buy.
