Uh oooooh, don't know if I should tell you.......didn't you just buy some from M&S? :rotfl:Edit per reply - this was NOT Hollh!!
You buy 3 items - the No. 7 must not be the cheapest.
So for eg (and these prices may not be right): No 7 moisturiser £10.50
S&G Body butter £10.40 x 2
So No 7 voucher takes £5 off then 3 for 2 takes one of the body butters off cos it looks at the original prices - total spend £15.90 - I think, I'm typing and watching Glee!! :j
I haven't tried it but acc to the gals on the Boots thread it works...Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!0 -
No i didn't buy any from M&S, it wasn't me. Thanks for that i'll keep it in mind. :cool: I do need to be good now though if i want more out's than in's this month. I've just decanted the 1/4 of the Wilkos coconut shampoo into the 1/2 full Tesco one so that can count as an out.
I've just got a Tesco tee tree conditioner out to use and i hate it. :mad: I've been using it all last year and this and i still have 6 bottles left. :eek: I can't even remember why or when i bought so much.

Since I grew my hair out it has a tendency to get really knotty and tangly, especially after blow drying or when I wake up in the morning, and my normal comb and brush don't do anything for it. I quite like the look of them but am a bit reluctant to pay £10 for a hairbrush if it's no good, so was wondering if anyone had used one before and if they were worth it...
My hairdresser recommended this to me last year, so bought it and to be honest have hardly used it since. I was not that impressed with it as the tangles still took ages to get out. If you do get one then check out amazon as am sure they were cheaper than £10 on there. hth0 -

I use the BS detangling comb - got one for the shower and one on the dresser - works pretty well!juliebunny wrote: »Uh oooooh, don't know if I should tell you.......didn't you just buy some from M&S? :rotfl:Edit per reply - this was NOT Hollh!!

Hi there ladies
well, I'm wrapped up in my dressing gown now, ready for bed. I've had a nice pampering bath. I have PY(T)NM in a bronze shade. May need a couple more coats though, it's still a bit faint but if it does, I'll do it in the morning.
I have a UU, 1st small tub of wax. DH has done my armpits (well partly, I'll get him to finish off tomorrow I think!).
I had to go and read the instructions again on the wax but I can moisturize tonight so yay! We both had a go at my legs but neither of us got much off. May have another go tomorrow, not sure though.
All you girls must be really good, I don't do CTM, can't be arrised. To remove my makeup, I get a hot soapy flannel and wash my face. I then rinse out the soap and wipe off the soap. Then hold the hot damp flannel against my eyes with my finger tips. I can then wipe away all of my mascara without too much bother. I can't be doing with too much rubbing as it makes my eyes sore and I'm sure it adds to wrinkles. I think the heat in the water melts the mascara better. I use the Olay daily self heating polish stuff too. I then put on moisturiser.
What is toner for anyway? I'm never sure. I thought it was to tighten everything up and clean away cleanser. The soap tightens everything for me and the water washes it away.

Forgot to say,
GOOD LUCK tomorrow thevicster!
And
Serious stash envy JuliebunnyI love soap and glory products for the way they look and the way they work but I don't like the smell
I might go sniffing and see if I can find some different flavours next time I go to B**ts.

A few UUs to announce from over the weekend:
Lush Melomint Bubble Bar Slice. WIBA? Yes, was a nice refreshing bath and turned the water pink!
Lush No 1 Seed Soap. WNBA, too earthy smelling for me, probably more of a bloke's soap.
Lush Hard Shampoo Bar. Made my hair really shiny, WBA if it hadn't been discontinued!
Lush Matryoshka - apple scented soap from Christmas. Not sure if WBA (if it hadn't been limited edition that is), it smelled lovely but turned everything red!
Also, my Soap & Glory Slimwear is spluttering, as is my Body Shop Hemp Hand Cream.
Had a lovely luxurious shower tonight with my Soap & Glory Breakfast Scrub and Lush Randy Butter soap!
Tip for everyone trying to use up soap and shower gel - join a gym, you get extra showers!
Good luck to thevicster for tomorrow!Sealed Pot Challenge Number 1225

Just popping in before bed to advise of 2 UU's:-
1) M & S royal jelly and honey hand cream - don't know how old it was but at least 5 years if not more - WNBA as have loads of other hand creams to use first
2) S & G Hand food - been carrying this around in my hand bag with me but cut open this weekend and has bitten the dust today. Off to get another hand food out of my stash and put in work bag ready for tomoz
3) Mr T Vit E wipes (well there's only one left in the packet and that 'll be gone tomorrow) so another packet out of my stash ready to go in the morning.
Good luck tomoz the Vicster
