My IN's

BS Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Mist (Free!)
BS Rainforest Shampoo
BS Rainforest Conditioner
BS Rainforest Hair Butter (Free!)
Sanctuary Spa Hot Cloth Cleanser - used £5 skinnie so got for 1/2 price :T
2 x Boots Cucumber Toner - Will need toner soon, I like this one and had a ACM voucher for 100 points wyw £8 on skincare
Rimmel SunShimmer Instant Tan - Free from comp win - going straight onto FB swaps as I look silly with a tan :rotfl:

I spent less than £20 so don't feel too bad - and got almost £3 in Adv Points

Went to see Bridesmaids last night (not as good as expected ) and took DD and her new BF to Pizza Hut afterwards and OH did his best to embarass them - poor kids - DD was mortified but the BF did OK :rotfl:

Does anyone use BS make-up? I've won this makeover and a £10 voucher for makeup - what do you recommend?? I hardly ever wear make-up so am a little clueless

have a great day y'all :cool:

I pretty much only wear BS make-up. I think their nature's minerals range is probably the best, expecially for summer. But £10 won't get you far I'm afraid. It depends what you think you might wear. They have these Baked-To-Last eyeshadow duos which look a bit like the MAC mineralized duos. They come in lots of lovely colours and last longer than their normal eyeshadows. They're £10 (I think), the normal single eyeshadows are £8. Oh and they do have these lovely little eyeshadow quads at the moment which are £15. Lipsticks/lipglosses are about £9. Or if you won't wear anything like that maybe just a concealer?
Best thing to do would be to go in when you've got a lot of time (and early if you can when the shops not busy) and try as much as you possibly can, but only spend your voucher and remember anything you really like for the next time they do a 50% online code thing. I don't think I've ever paid full price for any of their make-up and I have almost all of it.
Have a look before you go in to get an idea of what you might want:

Hellooo my lovely ladies! not been on for a while so need a bit of a catch up...

Got my first weeks pay today! :T Litterally feels so good, even though around half the money is now gone on bills already its nice to know I could actually pay them! Will have a bit of cash spare so when I go back to Cardiff tomorrow to sort out the shoe situation I might have a gander at some new clothes suitable for work etc also will treat myself and buy some more shampoo - Aussie me thinks
Brilliant to know the because I get paid weekly, next week's pay will be even more and after paying the months rent Ill still have a bit left over and then the pay the following week will be totally spare so yay!

At least now though, although I have money I don't really have much time to spend it so hopefully won't be hording too many toiletries

Well I have resisted the BS offer, only need to look at the body butters and shower gels that I've still to use to stop me!
It's good looking at my credit card statements and not seeing Boots on it anymore!

Flirtini - I would list the S&G stuff separately then mention the other listings and offer combined postage, then i would put the cleanser and toner on together.

One in for me today - won a tube of Elizabeth Arden Sunflowers body lotion in the school fair, I am going to use it with the rest of my mini moringa shower gel because the bb is not going to last as long as the shower gel.

Hey everyone.:)

No ins or UUs to report today, but wanted to report that I haven't bitten my nails in 4 days. That's a long time for me. They're already starting to look better. Hope it lasts.

Well done. Something else that might help. Once when I was having a check up at the dentist she asked me if I bit my nails which i did, she said to stop because i was damaging the tops of my bottom teeth, I've never bitten them since.

Woohoo - at last another UU (only the 2nd of the month:mad:)

It was a nivea Visage regenerating night cream. WNBA as too greasy for me. (If truth be told I finished it up last night on my toots:o).

I've moved on to a Simple repair anti-aging night cream now that scored 9/10 in the Daily Mail recently:D
