rosemary54

Updated the list :j

I have a couple of ins from the end of may to declare but I forgot them :rotfl:

IN - QOD Max keratin treatment
IN - Venus spa breeze razor blades
IN - Aquafresh toothpaste

Think that was it

I need to dye my hair but i'm wanting something different (maybe a red? any suggestions of a good one to try?) for summer... I just can't decide what I want :rotfl: So for now i'm clipping my fringe back to hide my roots :rotfl:

Seem to be on a roll now, first UU of June: Dove roll on deo. This is one of my faves, have already started the next one out of the stash.

Have a good weekend all

It's not exactly toiletries but I've been using HealthAid's Osteoflex joint care cream that was a freebie through Amazon Vine. It's not suitable for daytime use if you are going out, the smell of eucalyptus and menthol is overpowering. Very much like Algipan - if you remember that. Or Ralgex, which I think is still available.

I love the smell of Ralgex :rotfl:

Good Luck with the job Charlie

I think I'm looking at a good early start for June with my UU's - practically everything is spluttering :T

No IN's yet - but I (sort of) cheated and got my 'toiletries buzz' in Tesco last night and bought some of their own brand shampoo/conditioner/showergel on the 3for2 to put away for the xmas charity box - I'm still trying to put at least one item a week away - I hope they'll collect it - it's already too heavy for me to carry

Little Dog is at the vets later - just a check-up and hopefully the last one for 6 months - fingers crossed :cool: I need them to cut one of his nails and hopefully they won't charge for it - if they do they can do them all - and he makes such a fuss about it it'll serve them right :rotfl:

I've had a few more UU :j:

Sanctuary body butter mini: WNBA- I love love the texture of this, I think I even prefer it to BS butter but it smelt of car seats to me:eek: really random and not that pleasant:rotfl:
Impulse true love shower gel: WNBA- didn't really have a strong enough smell and dried out my skin
Curious perfume 30ml: WBA- quite embarassed as it is britney spears and I hate celebrity perfumes but this is sweet, light and simple, lasts all day and really cheap on amazon!
L’Oreal cleansing milk: WNBA- I think my mum bought this with a skinnie quite some time ago:o prefer neutrogena anyway
Tesco aloe vera hand sanitizer 50ml: WNBA- this is half the price of carex hand gel but is a lot worse. Really runny which means your hands don't dry for ages and when they do, you are left with an overpowering alcohol smell. Not to mention my hands feel so rough and dry afterwards (but at least I use more handcream!)
Dove beauty bath: WNBA- quite cheap and the bottle lasted a long time but bubbles disappeared after 5 mins and I'm tired of the dove smell now! I used to love it but after using this, the soap, and deodorant in the same scent, I'm sick of it! although I still have a roll on, 2 large deo and 3 bars of the soap left:eek:

I've had 34 INs in 2011, and I have about 65 items in my stash left. If I had resisited those unnecessary things, my stash would be a lot smaller :mad:

Iwe have booked our holiday and as I know the sun is going to be really strong I've ordered 3 SPF30 sprays from avon for £10, even though I have olive skin and I don't burn easily. I have checked in my stash and none of my lip balms have an SPF. Is it really necessary? I would like to avoid buying another lipbalm as I have so many and really want to finish them before I buy anymore (I can't believe I'm saying that:rotfl:) otherwise I will have to brave going into superdrug and ONLY buy a little pink tin:D

Also, I found a little Lush solid snow fairy perfume from dec 09 that I had been saving for 'a special occasion'. It's quite old (especialy as it's lush) and I know I should use it up, but I just can't bring myself to do it:o I've not had this problem with the rest of my stash because I know I can easily replace it. It's so silly, but I WILL use it and enjoy it instead of it sitting there going bad!

sorry for the ramble, hope you are all well and enjoying the gorgeous weather:cool2:

I'm doing mine this weekend (Like rosemary I saw my hair from a different angle and thought 'it's time' :rotfl:) I'm using the free L'oreal foam one from a couple of months ago - I went for the reddy one so will let you know what it's like

No7 have a SPF30 Lip & Eye Protector which is £2 with the latest skinny - I use it - it's good


If anyone gets the Sunday Telegraph there is a voucher inside this weekend for a free Elemis Night Cream - 15ml worth £20.

Elemis store info HERE - not many so worth checking first

Can you post/pm me a pic of the red it comes out like Sarah? I know what kind of red i'm looking for i'm just struggling to find it :rotfl:

Yorkielass

I need a new face moisturiser, it's the one thing I've tried so many with over the years, from cheap to Lancome and Estee Lauder and I still can't settle on one. I love the Clinique moisture surge sample from Glamour but it's not got an spf and I think I need one with an spf. Any suggestions of a similar product with an spf - thought I'd ask here as I'm sure you ladies have tried every product on the market!

Facial skincare is my last area to crack what I like and set my holy grail on.

Thats the one I got too, to be honest I was severly dissapointed with it - it came out the exact same colour as my usual hair dye and not really the colour on the box. At more than double the cost of my usual one I certainly wouldn't buy it...

this is what it came out on me (Sorry pic is HUGE and not the best as its from holiday!)

Might start getting Tesco Value shower gel and use it as handwash, would be much cheaper
