    An IN the LD Supermodel nail varnish. just painted my nails and I think this could be my face colour ever!

    Also the Vaseline tin but that is going in the pressie draw.

    Yay another Supermodel fan.

    I have 2 UUs and 3INs to report:-

    UUs: Laura Geller Balance N Brighten. Shopped in stash for new one.
    Aussie shampoo - bought two bottles of Happy Hair Days shampoo from Sainsbury's - 2 for £4. although they are £3.99 each so BOGOF. These are 2 of the INs. Yesterday received free Clinique mascara through the post from Elle. Don't remember signing up for it but hay ho.

    Feeling sorry for myself today as I tripped over yesterday and have injured my left foot. Can't see any bruising at all but it's very painful and I'm hobbling around.
    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!

    Morning All :D

    One IN this morning - a little Vanilla Bath Bomb from my Mum with a tiny cute shower flower thingy :D She's gone slightly nuts this year has my Mum. I've had a card and a little gift off her everyday this week. Nothing expensive but very thoughtful. Bless her :p I may demand first bath tongiht so I can use it :cool:

    OH is working overtime today - which is good 'cos we need the money - but he's taken every sodding penny out of my purse so now I have to go into town just to get a newspaper :mad:

    ETA: I love having dogs - we've just had the Jehovahs Witnesses to the door - funny how they never ask to come in for a chat when Big Dog is sat barking at them from the windowsill :rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning all,

    UU last night - St Moritz fake tan mousse. WBA, I love this mousse and find it better than St Tropez and it's a fraction of the price. I have one more left in stash before I restock!

    IN yesterday - Smashbox Bronzing face primer, found this is TK Maxx for £12 which is less than half the RRP - I have used before and loved it so could not resist! I did however resist several Leighton Denny sets which looked divine!

    Hope everyone has a great weekend. I'm got a nice 4 day weekend and off to Wimbledon on Tuesday so fingers crossed the weather improves :eek:

    Oh valm, sorry to hear about your foot. I hope it heals up soon. Try to rest it up :).
    Sarah, how lovely of your Mum. Yay for loving Mum's :).
    I went to work last night. When I got there, I realised that I wasn't due in :o. So I popped to B&Q and Asda on my way home and then did some more painting when I did get home. I'm having a dressing gown day today. Harry Potter arrived from lovefilm so we're going to watch that and DH has decided that he wants canneloni for tea which is a meal that he makes so I don't even have to cook.
    I need to order his game for Fathers day though because it's cheaper online. He's happy to wait as it's so much cheaper so that's good.
    Enjoy your weekend everyone :D.
    Sawan, hope the wedding's a nice day for you.

    Afternoon all

    Sawan - thanks for the PM, will read through properly later and give it a go!

    3 UU's to report this morning :D:

    - 1 x Sanex travle size (100ml) shower gel......this is the last of my stash of travel shower gels :j On New Year's Day I had 16 little bottles. Can't believe I've lasted til mid June without having to buy/ue any other shower gels :D. I've got 3 full size ones in my stash so no need to buy any. Moving onto Boots Mango one now.

    - 1 x Avon Foot Works Scrub - been using this as a body scrub too as I hate the feel of my current body scrub (boots mango sugar scrub :( ) so have relegated that one to my feet only. WIBA? it was ok, got it on offer bout 3 years ago.

    - 1 x sachet of Veet Hair minimising body lotion.

    I'm off out shopping soon so may have some INs later as I want a new body scrub. Any recommendations? I want a proper scrubby one (lots of bits) but one that doesn't leave a greasy or other residue on skin like the Boots one does.

    Afternoon everyone

    Cheers could be heard around Yorkshire this morning as I finished off my Flake Away, am I ever glad to see the back of that stuff, used every last bit though in true:money:style.

    I am using Heel Genius and am hating that too, my feet don't feel in the teeniest bit moisturised and it smells awful, unfortunately i have another in the stash too. Bought a Lacura Foot Balm to try which is thick, smells fab and is only £1.49.

    3 INs to report.

    Managed to get the Boots L'Oreal 2 for £2.50 offer and bought 2 of the eye make up remover. I had wanted to try the eye & lip one but it was OOS.

    This morning I also receieved my freebie Garnier 14 day trial pack.

    Have a lovely weekend :D

    If you haven't already splashed the cash on a new body scrub I can recommend the BS ones - especially the gel based ones (they look like jam with bits in :p) The bases dissolves really well and isn't greasy at all - and some of them are on sale :D

    I still haven't received my 14 Garnier sachets :(

    Thanks for the recommendation. I didn't buy any today (check me out!) I had a look in boots at the S&G ones but my friend has a travel one she said I could try before I buy. I was tempted by the Sanctuary Salt Scrub in the pretty jar as there is an offer on of free gift with 4 things (shower gel, scrub, lotion and hand cream maybe?) but the were out of the GWP!
