    I WON! A free cut and blow dry at a salon round the corner... Thing is, I'm too ashamed of my hair at the moment to actually go... xD

    Go Go Go :doh: its their job to make you come out looking like a million dollars.... they wont mind and you'll be able to get some tips :p and share them with us :rotfl:

    I remember my hairdresser telling me off, as i used to wash, dry and straighten my hair before I went :embarasse

    I've had a lovely pamper session using....
    Nice hot bath in Avon Sensitive Bubbles (love avon bubbles!)
    Took my make up off with Yes to Carrots - Now you C me
    BS mineral warming face mask
    BS Sweet Lemon Body Scrub
    Took all the NV off with Sally Hanson
    Youth Code Facial Serum
    Botanics Anti aging Night Cream
    Clinique Eye to Eye cream
    Sanctuary Body Butter UU :T

    When the kids go to bed, i'm going to paint my nails with Rimmel Double Decker Red on my toes and a cheapie Wet n Wild Sparkling Diamonds on my fingers - my nails keep splitting, so going to have to stick to lighter colours for the time being...

    Oh can anyone recommend a decent nail file?? I like the glass ones, but the one I have at the minute isn't very good....

    Does anyone else do that? Buy toiletries just because its in your favourite colour? Or am I on my own with this one? lol :o

    I have to admit I find myself attracted to pink products/toiletries on the shelf :o
    The Soap and Glory shelves are great!! lol.
  • One OUT and two INs for me - used up my Batiste Dry Shampoo in Boho the other morning. WBA as I love Batiste - it works well and it's cheap - but possibly not in that scent unless there weren't any others available as it was a bit 'sweet' for me.

    Also got another free sample of the Tresemme Moisture Rich shampoo and conditioner free in a magazine, which I'll probably use up tomorrow night.

    Miss Dior Chrie perfume- One of my HG, gutted its run out as its so expensive. BF says I shouldn't buy another and use my Issey Miyake he got me for my bday (my other HG) but I like to have both lol.

    Why don't you try Next Diamonds? I've heard it is like Miss Dior Cherie.
    I'm a big fan of M&S and Next perfumes, very similar to brand names but much, much chepaer :T

    Have another IN a Time Delay radiance booster but it was free and actually Mr B paid me to buy it with the till spit and points coupon! ;)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    one UU the clinique instant eye make up remover which whilst good a full size will prob be very expensive for eyeMR. mine was part of an xmas pressie. seems im using all my spluttering products up atm but i fear soon i will be hitting the hardcore part of my stash which may be difficult as i have things like hair styling sprays which i buy and never style my hair and numerous fake tans and gradual tanners that i am always put off by by the level of effort required ....


    oh wilkinsons do glass nail files for about £1 and i have had two they are very very good for that price!
    keep calm and carry on :rotfl:

    may toiletries IN- 7 UU- 13

    Just popped in to confess that as I was running out of time this evening before I came into work, I didn't use any BB. First time in ages that I haven't and my hands definately feel really dry now.

    Congrats. You must go. It's the perfect opportunity to sort your hair out :)

    Happy Belated Birthday Lemon Tree x.

    A UU for me yesterday - as predicted the bottle of Philosophy Amazing Grace body lotion has gone. Finished it yesterday morning. Had a shower last time after doing exercise DVD and used the TBS Dreams Unlimited body butter on top of Philosophy Pure Grace hand wash (using it as shower gel as it makes my hands itch if used correctly!). Smelt gorgeous.

    WB Amazing Grace again but not for a while. As said before will either get some in Orlando or wait until QVC have a good offer on.

    Painted my nails last night. Wearing my new OPI Houston We Have a Purple which I'm loving.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
