Id give you mine if I could...I to be honest was bitterly dissapointed with mine...had the highbeam with my subscription copy - thought it was meant to be for the lips too but it turns out this one is just a facial highlighter or something...Something Ill never use anyway

Thinking I might have a serious sort through of my stash at some point and consider the things Ill never use -for example bath salts as I have no bath and might just list them on ebay some time when its free listing.

Tried some of that Jergens cocoa butter mositurisor. I looked on boots and couldn't believe how much it was selling for (£5.10) Its quite nice in the aspect that my skin feels soft but to be honest Im not a huge fan of the smell

OH is trying to get me out of my "I cant use it as I wont have it anymore" habit and inisted on using the soap we bought from holiday, he did cave eventually though and cut it in half for me so I still actually have half of it unused (I say half, of the 500g this is about 100g - he gave 2/3 of it away to his folks ). Anyway in this mindset I am today wearing the free t-shirt I got with ELLE, otherwise it would just be sitting there forever unworn - I figured I see my freebies thing as a haul and that they should just be kept as such so one day I can turn around to a pile of stuff and say 'I got all this stuff free' :rotfl:

Aww, that's a shame. I was planning on getting posie tint but I guess I don't really need it because I've got a couple of lip/cheek stains already.
I'm not exactly sure what highbeam is meant to look like. it reminds me of the sort of sparkly stuff I had when i was about 8! Hopefully a bit more subtle though!

I really really want the Highbeam in mine. My subscription goes to my parents house so I'll have to wait to weekend before I know what it is!!

One UU today - Superdrug Fragrance Free Baby Wipes - WIBA? no, don't like the feel of them, prefer Tesco ones, but these were free as I had voucher opened Tesco pack now from stash

ps I have had a response from Collection 2000 re the dodgy nail polish that stained my nails. They have sent me an SAE to return the nail varnish for investigation. Hope they refund the cost too at least!

Evening all

Some more ins to report - mini Posietint, mini Benetint (gotta love those freebies!), Loreal Professionnel Vitamino Color shampoo, and Loreal Professionnel Absolut Repair conditioner.

I got my hair and nails done tonight (deal - 4 visits to a salon, one for a cut and finish, one for colour and finish, one style, and one for a beauty treatment - £45) and I am loving crackle!

Just thought I'd let you guys know if you've not seen the grabbit board that tesco have 50% off womens clothes. It's 50% off absolutely everything so plenty of bargains to be had
(edit: not absolutely everything... not underwear & jewellery & hosiery)

I had my eye on a couple of dresses which I now have an excuse to buy but somehow my basket's ended up with about 20 things in
Not buying them all though, I'll do my best to cut about half

A couple of UU Lush bodyscrub bar thing (green one), smells lush and kind of got the hang of it but probably wouldnt buy again except its pretty good for the feet! Avon planet spa sheer lotion mist WNBA got it as a freebie and spray lotions aren't really my thing.

Nothing to report really apart from a few Near Purchasing Incidents (NPIs?).

Have been on the Body Shop website a few times but managed to walk away - when I really NEED something there will still be deals and vouchers (so I tell myself).

Likewise walked away from Glamour in Morrisons tonight - I don't need it.

Am so glad of this thread or I would have had several ins!!
