Count me in for May please!

Well, only been with you guys for 1 month and it has transformed my life - and my bank balance:D

I honestly never realised just how much cash I was spending without giving it a second thought. Afterall, it was a bargin at £18, £11, £34 etc..... and so it went on. The day before payday I had a lovely sum of money still in my account - such a nice change :T

So, I had 10UU in March - adding £10 to my pot.
Most impressive for me - 28 no beauty spend days. OMG. Never in a million years did I think that would happen
I now need to keep strong and carry on.

Hello to Twod - lovley crowd on here, you will enjou I'm sure

Bev - that is just AMAZING

Valm - [STRIKE]I'm off to check out OPI[/STRIKE]

HI scrappie. Glad you had a good month in April!

I can't wait for another month of this challenge but can't believe how fast May has come around!
feeling virtuous because I have managed to avoid buying from BS online today...

InaPickle

I'm in for May, too, please!

I've been a good Pickle as well: I've only bought what I've needed so far (some conditioner and a deoderant, which I haven't put in my sig as it is necessary and I'm only counting that which isn't and therefore adding to the stash, not being used straight away).

I must admit, I'm getting more of a buzz from using things up, amending my sig and getting some free space in my room that I ever did from buying!

Welcome newbies and best of luck one and all! :T

I'm in! Just had a UU- HM nail varnish remover- WIBA yes if they still make it, its lasts me that long! A couple of INs- Asda mouth wash and face wipes, both needed. I nearly subcomed to some minis for my weekend trip to Ibiza but I was strong, I have lots of bottles I can refill damn it i do not neeeeeeed them.

Some fab UU lists ladies :T

Two UU for me:
Avon Solutions am-pm Maximum Moisture serum-gel will be gone tonight: WIBA? Have already ordered as it was in the clearance brochure last week. I cut the tube open on 16th April and decanted the bits the pump couldn't reach into a BS sample tub - so there was over two weeks worth of product that before I probably would have just thrown away :eek:
BS Spiced Vanilla Showergel:WIBA I have another in stash but am going to use something else for a bit

adilade

I'm in :j

Had quite a few UU and INs in april but they were no spend:T didn't think I would actually have a no spend month:D

but 2 INs to report:
johnsons day cream and face wash to test for glamour, which is good as I just...

UU BS passionfruit cleanser- WIBA? yes, smells nice, bottle lasts ages and leaves my skin feeling clean but not tight:j

bev97

Hi everyone
Those UU lists are :Aamazing. :A
I have one splutterer which I have decanted into a little spray bottle - Gatineau 500ml Toner - would not rebuy for a while as I have 430ml of Liz earle tonic to use now.:o

Hi Bev, now that I've had a look at the other colours online I'm not so sure I'll go for this kit after all! When I knew it was coming on I thought if it contained Nail Envy, Avoplex and the silver shatter I would go for it as the other colours would be a bonus. The fact that it's Avoplex to Go made me reconsider at first as I've found that this doesn't work as well as the bottle (last time I had this one the applicator got so gungy I had to chuck it out).

So think I'll be abstaining unless of course I watch the presentation and start drooling over the fabby colours and jumping to the phone like a mad thing! lol

That's the thing VALM, I would only be buying the kit for the silver shatter and I think I will look to buy it elsewhere as a have enough colours to UU and have some nail envy and avoplex minis which have hardly been touched! Have seen the blck shattercoat on Beauty Expert.com for £10.50 so they are bound to have the other colours soon and if you go through the link on the beauty bible website you also get 10% off

Very inspirational UU lists ladies :T:T:T. As my sig says I have now UU 161 products since I joined in Oct 10.

I have my first UU of May :j.
Nicky Clarke Highlights Conditioning Cream. I still have another 33 tubes to go. I bulk bought these last year to re-energise my hair colour as I was saving some money by waiting longer for my highlights. Now my hair is so short I get three applications out of one tube as opposed to a new tube each time. Very :money::D
