My U/U from this morning was a random shower gel not even on my list, hmph! WNBA because I didn't like it
And finally U/U a S&G body butter (daily smooth)... it must be about an inch thick on my legs tonight, but at least I can start on something else tomorrow :rotfl: WIBA? Yes, but not for a few months. Sick of the smell at the moment. I think i'll try the blueberry one next :j:j0 -

I've UU a sample phial of Hugo Boss Pure Purple Eau Du Parfum 2 ml. WIBA? Probably not - it was quite nice for work and I wouldn't object if someone bought me this or if I had it in a box of mini perfumes but there are others I prefer. Talking of which, I smelt this Orla Kiely perfume in Debenhams the other week and have fallen in love with it:
http://www.debenhams.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/prod_10001_10001_117457900099_-1?breadcrumb=Home%7EBeauty
Has anyone seen it being sold anywhere else? I've got a £15 voucher to spend in Debenhams but I'm going to resist for now. The OH says he'll buy me some for my birthday and as that's in the summer it'll give me chance to try to use up what I've already got!0 -
Morning All!!
A little uu 7ml sample of wake up wonder, I quite like this, absorbed quick and smelt nice, only used it on my neck though and have now moved onto the 7ml samples of 3 point serum and flawless skin cream by olay, am using these on my neck too just to use up, the cream is thick so don't think my face would get on with it really.
Opened my S&G Flake Away this morning, am definitely in two minds about this, very greasy and very scratchy. I used it in the shower and when I used clean on me on my puff to wash it off the lather just died IYKWIM, put 5 more pumps on puff and same again. Oh well suppose that's one way to use more of it. Skin did feel really nice when I had finally managed to wash the stuff off but a bit time consuming for a school day.
Pudsey, my DH was like that with mothers day in previous years because usually it is nearer my birthday and no-one can be bothered to get me anything after shopping for that. This year they made up for it and got me loads, really I only want a little bit of something that the kids have picked out.The devil makes works for idle hands0 -

Well done! You have taken the first step to recovery from your toiletries addiction :rotfl::TMorning All!!

That is cute about mothers day and signifies what it's all about - the thought behind it.:)
I keep forgetting that baby oil in the bath (for my dry skin) and the S&G flake away don't go together- it's like when you have sun cream on and then get sand on you on holiday!! it's all bloomin stuck to me :rotfl: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 -
Finally a UU! My S&G Glad Hair Day from my Christmas tote bag. WIBA? I liked it but I prefer my Tigi pump bottles as they last forever and you don't get more than you need and I thought this was quite expensive for a tube that size when bought on it's own.
I do need to buy some new shampoo and conditioner though, after using trevor sorbie stuff that Boots virtually gave away on an offer for a while and then stuff from Avon I gave the Tigi big pump bottles a go as that's what my hairdresser uses and got a pair of bottles from the internet early last September and they still haven't run out yet and I wash my hair every day normally! I've used the glad hair day too and some hair supply but mostly just been these pump bottles, I love that you can get exactly what you want. The conditioner stopped being pumpable a while ago now and I've now got it on it's side at the edge of the bath and I have to scoop it out with my finger each time but at least it isn't getting wasted! Will check the shampoo tonight as I haven't used it for a while and will then decide if I need to order another set soon.
Hair stuff used to be something I had loads of but now I've just got these 2 almost empty Tigi bottles, a tube or two of hair supply (minis), a Tigi styling product I use each day (and bought last August and still going strong!) and the dregs of an overnight treatment product I should use up. So not too bad at all.Initial Mortgage January 2024 - £160,000

Hi ladies,
I'm trying to catch up on the April thread, but only made it to page 8 so far, wow you can all talk! Anyway, I'm in again for this month.
I've got a bit of catching up still to do on the March thread too, as I was away for a couple of days at the end of March/start of April for a long weekend in London and Paris
Erm, so I have a rather large amount of ins to confess to, but there's so many, I can't remember them all :eek:, so will update tonight when I get home and have some time.
In my defense, it was my 30th birthday on Saturday, so treated myself to a fair bit of shopping over the weekendAnd I spent waaaaaay more on clothes than toiletries :A
I've also got a few UUs, but not as many as the ins unfortunately...
Anyway, I've got a free evening tonight after the manic weekend (and some unexpected late drinks last night) so will unpack, confess in full, and treat myself to a little pampering to help recover!
I'll try and join as many of the pampering nights through the month as I can, but fridays might be tough - any Friday I'm not out, I go to play badminton, which doesn't finish til 10pm, so it'd be late night pampering for meLove the idea of a pamper session before Kaz's big day!
