    Juliebunny - best wishes for your friend, hope all is OK

    Sarah*a - good luck on your train journey, thank heavens I'm not taking my demented mut on a long train journey, every passenger would be greeted and probably laid out flat.

    Couple of naughty ins for me this weekend, Next Just PinK EDT and Next Diamonds EDT:o

    No longer looks like my May uu's will exceed my in's, I am not happy with myself

    I have to confess to ordering 3 FCUK mini Whipped body Lotions and one DeadSea Source shower gel from the Boots site. I adore the FCUK body lotion and so I'm really chuffed to get it as a bargain buy. May has been a very naughty month for me.

    Oooh I'm so tempted with this :smileyhea love the fcuk body cream, much better than S&G. Will go and look at my stash and maybe that will stop me.
    Also note to anyone with Groupon BS vouchers they need to be used by Wednesday, :eek:still haven't found anything instore to buy when they have such good online offers! :rotfl:
    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.
    Take time but don't waste time

    I bought some gel for shaving my legs today, but I'm not counting it as it was needed. I'm only counting things I don't need (i.e. most things!) ;)

    3 UU for me since i last logged in.
    Simple baby talc - WBA but not until i'm through my current stocks
    Tresemme 24hr body shampoo - WNBA - lasts too long and i'm not sure my hair really likes it.
    Dermol 200 shower emoliant - can't buy again as was given to me, and can only be got on prescription (i think) i've got one more to UU. Used it as hand wash as a change from acquious cream.

    I am now off the the cinema - I think it will be the new pirates film followed by a nice dinner out. :D

    I saw this yesterday too (followed by tea at Nandos too). What did you think? I really enjoyed it. I wasn't overly impressed by films 2 or 3 because I really don't rate Keira Knightly or Orlando Bloom so was pleased that they were not in this one. Thought Troy from Benidorm was very funny and Captain Jack was great as usual.
    Enjoy Pirates Fiasco!

    Can anyone recommend a good concealer? I currently use Benefit Boi-ing, which I love but can't really justify the price at the moment. I normally get some in Duty Free but not off on hols til Oct and will run out by then! I have oily skin, and use concealor on spots and dark circles. I'd prefer one that is long lasting as don't get chance to check my make-up in day as I'm too busy at work!

    x

    I'm in the same boat. A UU for me this morning was my Benefit Erase Paste which I love but won't be replacing just yet. I have an It Stick on the go and also have 3 Laura Geller Banish and Brightens to work through. I used to use a Barbara Daly one which was quite good (from Tesco).

    I'm not going away until October either and am holding on for my Erase Paste until then. I'm off to the US so am hoping the Dollar exchange rate will be good and get a bargain.
    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!

    Hope this doesn't sound an odd question but what does your Sanctuary Facial Wash smell like?! I've got one in use which smells very odd, difficult to describe it! I've put it down to the fact that I've had it 4 or 5 years!

    FMG, sorry for late reply, laptop still at sister's so catch up on mobile, but posting is still an issue until I get some time alone on a computer, any computer!! (Dad's netbook atm!!) I couldn't place the smell initially though it is lovely, my sister says it's a geranium scent. HTH

    Juliebunny Sorry about your friend. I hope she's better soon. Hugs and vibes of strength to both of you

    Sarah*a I hope you have a wonderful time, and the dogs don't drive you crazy.

    Unintentional INs (promise!!)
    Boots eyshadow (tiny!) to test, like a mink colour
    And my sister is sitting in front of me and just gave me an Elemis shower cream.

    Flakeaway is spluttering now, then going to try the Breakfast Scrub.

    Oh my, I have to add, I absolutely LOVE my new Andrea Fulerton nail varnish. It is awesome, I [STRIKE]want to buy every colour I like [/STRIKE]am going to resist!!!

    I feel my pics may bore some (sorry!!) so here are the before and after links:
    Before (First coat (x2) of the darker shade)
    After (one coat of the lighter colour on top)

    Hi again. Forgot to post another UU : Burts Bees lip balm. Was ok but much prefer the lip shimmers. Had this in a set of three so started another today which is nicer. The one I finished was pomegranate flavour and the new one is minty.

    Have painted my nails tonight as well. Don't know the name of the colour but it's an OPI one from the Colour Couture minis collection - is the one that looks like royal Rajah Ruby.

    Hi all, we went to Nandos on Saturday night! See a theme developing here! We didn't have vouchers though :(. Anyway, we shan't be going again because there was just too much stodge there for us. DH was happy enough with it but the kids and I were craving anything green :o.
    No ins outs or UU's. Not had a bath tonight, ran out of time and I'm too tired now :o

    .

    I thought it was an enjoyable swashbuckling romp and better than POTC 2 & 3. Liked the wee subplot with Philip and Seryna and Captian Jack was on fine form. I see that they are writting the 5th script already.

    I finished off my Armani Code Body Lotion this morning so I have looked out an Elle Macpherson Body Lotion and a Sanctuary Mande Lular Body Souffle to see what suits me for the morning. I need a quick drying one that isn't do heavy and I haven't used either of these before.

    1 UU for me
    Christina Aguillera's perfume (I think it's called Christina Aguillera) WIBA? It was a tester anyway, but probably not, initially it smelt to ethanol-y and then the scent only lasted about 30 mins-1hr =s I barely got to smell it! Will stick to my 2 HGs Davidoff - Cool Water and Hugo Boss - Deep Red methinks =]
