A UU S&G Clean on Me. This bottle didnt seem to last anywhere near as long as the last hmmm wonder whos taken a shine to it;)Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
For my first potential Usey Uppys I picked things that were already low and close to using up, plus samples and mini sizes so that I'd have some UUs quickly and get into the swing of how it works. (It's weirdly motivating when you use something up!
:D)
I totally agree with this! I started on these threads in Jan after realising I had 16 travel size showergels/shampoos! plus various other mini stuff. So I started using these up, and it's a great boost to use up the stuff. I love coming on here to report a UU! :rotfl:
That said, 4 INs for me today. Although all through the FB swapsies so I had OUTs for them so can't complain as they are freebies and stuf i'll actually use! INs (all travel sized):
- 1 x BS pink Grapefuit shower gel
- 1 x BS Pin Grapefuit body souffle
- 1 x Sanctuary Body wash
- 1 x Sanctuary Body Scrub

Evening all!
Haven't posted in ages, mainly because I've had no UU :mad:
Also not been on for about a week and had to catch up on 12 pages today, phew, need to remember not to do that again!
One UU for this week, BS body spray in Lotus Petal, WNBA, bought in a sale a few years back and still have a bit left of the perfume. Wasn't wowed by the smell, and I have many perfumes and the like to use up.
Also one In, I bought marie claire and it had a free Ciate lipgloss with it. Its not bad, a nice nude pink and feels moisturising. I really didn't need another lipgloss and to make it worse I gave the magazine to my cousin to read and didn't get it back so all I got was the lipgloss!
I have a few things I am determined to finish before the end of the month, all at the spluttering stage: Avon hand cream, Avon day moisturiser, No 7 eye cream, Avon shower gel, SBC body gel.
Would be nice to get some more UU!!No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins0 -
Currently sitting in my old halls of residence (not my old room though) looking after 3 year 10 children from Merseyside. They're on a university taster experience, and for 2 nights/3days of work (I say work... more "sit in my room and watch movies from my hard drive") I get paid £240, so I'm not complaining =]
Also, I've packed some of my mini's so hopefully I may have some UUs by Friday when I finish this, or Sunday when I finish the War and Peace show? **fingers crossed**My laptop has broken so am having to come on here in my lunch hour so trying to keep up but failing.
Have some outs to report. A cleanser, a bubble bath and a deodorant. Can't let you know how many of each I have left as the info is on my laptop. No ins though :j
Although there is a reason for that. I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is I've just found out I'm pregnant. A little bit of a surprise but happy all the same. Hubby is taking a bit more time convincingThe bad news is that hubby has been made redundant and is desperately looking for a job, of which there appear to not be many. Am keeping fingers crossed that he hears some good news about one job tomorrow.
As I haven't been able to keep up properly hope everyone is ok.
Congrats hun!!Lynseydee -
LadyMorticia - Love that colour
I'm having a really bad week - really struggling to wake up and both today and yesterday I've gone back to bed in the afternoon for a couple of hoursI'm hoping it cycles out before the weekend as I won't be much of a house guest to my aunt if I have to keep going back to bed :rotfl:
I used one of the Avon Planet Spa face masks last night - the Japanese Peel-Off one .... blimey :eek: You ladies were rightIt has the consistancy and, quite frankly, the smell of PVA glue :eek: Left my face lovely and smooth though :T
I had a MAJOR NPI earlier - the S&G Big Beauty Bundle is £35 with £10 Adv points on the Boots website. It managed to sneak into my basket and I almost paid for it ......... but closed the page and walked away - I don't need anything that's in it (no Clean Mary) and I can't really afford it.
Hope y'all are well :cool:
Oh no hun! Have you tried some gentle exercise? Seems to work for me, even if I just go for a faster-than-average-walk around the block with the dog, gets abit of energy pumping....
Also, am I the only one who used to LOVE pulling PVA off my fingers/hands in art?? So much so that I used to purposely paint it on just so I could pull it off?? I think I'd love one of those masks!!bohemianrose9 wrote: »Ouch! Just reading about that made me wince, Kaz! Glad it's fine now though.
Has anyone else received an email from feelunique about their new Beautybox scheme? For £9.95 a month you receive a monthly box of 5 'deluxe' samples to try. I have to admit I was very tempted - the samples in the display box (not representative I know!) were quite large and of some really nice bits. But a tenner a month is a lot for samples...
I use a website, you get 3 samples every month and I think you pay just £1. Basically, you have to send a text to a number (which costs a pound) and they send you a code back to enter and then they deliver. I cant for the life of me remember what the website is though!! I can check and let you know when I get home Sunday/Monday if you'd like?? Seems far more reasonable than £10 a month even though you get less??

Hello, I have 2 UU's and an IN to report. I used up a Nivea soft hand cream (old formula I believe) - it was alright. Now moved onto some salcura sensitive skin samples, hopefully they will help with my mild eczema. Another UU - Clinique All About Eyes (from Glamour) - WNBA, it doesn't do anything.
And the IN - John Frieda shampoo for blondes, that I picked up from the boots discount shelf for 50pI'm not a blonde, but I don't think it would have made a difference.
