    Just a quick pop in from me - I'm suffering madly in this heat - the dogs and I are wandering round the house searching out the coolest spots :p

    Avon arrived so I have a couple of IN's

    Cherry Shampoo
    Cherry Conditioner (or 'hair mask' as they will call it :p) x 2
    Cherry Daily Hair Refreshing Spray - I'm hoping this is more like the dry shampoo than a detangling spray

    I only have the shampoo/conditioner I'm using and none in stock so don't feel bad about these. Not much I want in the new book but in the clearance book there is a gift box of 12 Planet Spa face masks for only £3.50 so I'll be getting a couple of those :o Thats for July's naughty step though :rotfl:

    It's days like today I miss having a shower - baths don't really refresh you and it's harder to climb into a cold bath then duck under a cold spray ...... did I mention I hate the heat :rotfl:

    Hope y'all are having a great day :cool:

    Afternoon all on this glorious day!

    UU's BS Lemon body scrub 50ml - WIBA I didnt like this as much as the S & G flakeaway but I liked the smell! Onto a Ted Baker one now.

    UU Elemis Eye gel - WIBA no it was ok but nothing special.

    UU Elemis Fruit rejuvenating mask sample size - it was ok but its hard to tell with one use.

    Throwaway - L'Oreal lipstick the one that lasts forever with a balm that you put on over the colour - binned it as I have had it for 3 years and tried it last week and it was peeling off my lips (v attractive!) so in the bin it went!

    Ins - Ok I went to Superdrug and got loads of bargains, 6 tubes of spa showergel 19p each(gave one to my sister and one in the kids bathroom so 2 outs!) 3 x cans of Batiste dry shampoo (20p each, I mean it was rude not to!) 2 x head and shoulders conditioner 49p each and 3 x Beverley Hills toothpaste 79p each. And 2 SAMY Fat hair thickening sprays. Then went to TK Maxx and got Tigi Superstar shampoo and conditioner 750ml size. Also popped into L'Occitane where hubby said he would treat me so got the Verbena set in the sale. Also went to Boots and got the free 17 concealer and got a lippy to get the free nail bag (thats gone in the pressie stash).

    I shall go and do my time on the naughty step.

    Just back from town and have 2 INs. 2 roll on Dove Deodorants that were on BOGOF in Waitrose. I also used 2 x £1 off vouchers for them so got the 2 roll ons for 9p each. :T Really pleased as I don't have any roll ons in my stash and at that price it was worth the wait.

    I have also topped up my 200mls Clinique Clarifying lotion by decanting some of my 400mls one.

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend :)

    Hi all :wave:

    Have been MIA for a week or so, buuuut I have been good(ish) :D

    Have one UU, Directions purple toner - It's not bad for what it is, but tbh I wouldn't buy again as I have found a product that works better for me and works out more cost effective.

    INS - Nelsons purity cleanser, moisturiser, wipes and blemish gel (This is for product testing, 1 months supply) they gave me a £5 boots giftcard for taking part as well. Clairol Shimmer Lights Purple Shampoo - replaces the directions toner I used up. Estee Lauder Double Wear Light Stay-In-Place foundation - current foundation is rubbish and near it's end (technically this was free through a cashback promotion so no nawty step for me!)

    Almost bought some Barry M white crackle polish but resisted temptation.
    Comping wishlist for 2017
    1. Family holiday 2. Christmas presents :rudolf: 3. Fishing stuff

  • Two OUTs and two INs for me today.

    OUTS:
    Lee Stafford Poker Straight Heat Protection Spray - WBA as it does what it says by protecting my hair from the heat and making it straight (though I find it works better with the hairdryer than the straighteners) and it's quite often on offer in Boots. The boyfriend likes the smell of it too.
    Batiste Original Dry Shampoo - WBA as it works really well at making my hair feel clean and smells pretty good, although it's not my favourite fragrance in the range.

    INs:
    Benefit Playsticks Cream-to-Powder Foundation in Spin The Bottle - This is my HG foundation and I'm running out so it was a needed IN.
    Charles Worthington Front Row Stay Cool Heat Defence Spritz - I use my straighteners almost every day so a good straightening spray is essential, and this one is fantastic. It smells nice, holds the style and doesn't feel too 'crispy'. Currently it's the HG straightening product for me but I'm prepared to try others to see if I can find anything better...

    Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")
    Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")

    Some UUs/Splutterers and an IN

    IN

    Organic cold pressed vanilla and lavender soap from local farmers market - Smells lovely but don't know how good it is

    UUs

    Lush Rockstar soap - Smells lovely and stays on skin for a long time but a bit drying so WNBA
    Lush Demon in the dark soap - smells fresh and is moisturising so may buy again but for not for a long time as still have a big stash to use up first
    TBS Satsuma Shower gel - smells lovely but get used up pretty quickly so not good value for money. Will only buy on a very good offer

    Spluttering
    John Freida hair conditiner - hopefull will get finished this week

    Not been in for a while....but I've not been buying stuff!

    One UU for me: Lush Rub Rub Rub Scrub: WIBA? I'm not sure, I'm considering it, but I don't think it's worth what I paid for it

    ** Fat Bum Shrinking: -7/56lbs **
    **SPC 2012 #1498 -£152 and 1499 ***
