Hey guys.
One UU: The Sure Crystal pink deoderant has finally given up the ghost. Good stuff, probably my HG. On to a Nivea Double Effect Violet Senses one now. Only one in use and one spare left. That's the way it's going to stay!
Had a rubbish afternoon, so went to Boots.
Several INS: No7 Radiance Revealed exfoliator
No7 Beautifully Balanced Purifying Cleanser
No7 Sumptuous Bath soak
Free gift (spend over £22): Beautiful bronze clutch full of goodies
2nd Free gift (when spending over £15 event): Nails Inc Caramel NV and No7 Define and Shimmer Eye palette.
Geez, how many is that?
(I already have the NV-but i'm not complaining, might Ebay it)
Feeling rubbish, so off to make french toast, watch the Simpsons, bath, book and bed. All in that order!!0 -
I am back in again.
Thanks for the new thread EH. I am kick starting July with a UU this morning - Listerine mouthwash. I have already replaced it with another one from my stash. That now only leaves one in my stash. I will now be on the lookout for a good deal on this.
:wave: Welcome to the newbies and the returners. I also see we are in the company of another toiletery graduate :T well done.
Will post my updated stash list a little later and will be PYON and T tonight.No buying toiletries Graduated May 2017Decluttered 2016 2469 items, 2017 1580 items :j2018 3060 itemsSealed Pot Challenge No 0380 -
I'm in!!
Although I had 2 unexpected freebie INs today. 2 x Body Shop Black Eye Liners, free with Instyle magazine. Not sure if I should have had 2 though but both were in the pack! Sadly I don't use eyeliner (never been able to make it look right!) so when I finally join the FB wap group I'll offer them.

i'm in again!:j
Just got back from the airport and I’m exhausted! It was just one very long and expensive shopping trip. Still, it was nice to go back after 5 years. The malls are absolutely crazy, you can go to the cinema, ski and even feed sharks in between shopping. Therefore, I have quite a few ins to admit to:
Before we left, I bought a smaller size sure deodorant to take with me and it’s the new ‘motionsense’ one. We broke down twice in the desert so were standing for about an hour outside and this managed to keep me dry all day long. I think it’s safe to say it’s now a HG.
3 glamour benefit freebies: I didn’t need them but they are very nice esp. Posietint
14 day garnier samples: Thank you to whoever posted the link. I gave these to my mum as they were handy to take away
Maybelline gel eyeliner: I read good reviews about this as it was a cheaper alternative to the bobbi brown gel eyeliner I wanted to try. I have to say, the brush is really good, it’s easy to use and stays put all day, even after travelling the whole day.
And while we were there:
2 samples of soap from the face shop which actually look quite nice. It’s a Korean brand I think that I hadn’t heard of.
Olay white radiance moisturiser: it seems we can’t get enough of fake tan here but it’s the opposite in Dubai. My aunt asked us to buy some so I thought I would try some myself. Olay, BS and l’oreal all do whitening ranges. I can’t imagine they would be too popular here! Also have 3 bottles of matching cleanser as we bought the sets with all 3 for the same price as the day and night cream.
Olay beauty fluid: I got a 200ml bottle for about £3 and I do use this.
Nivea soft x4: it’s a HG that I can use for everything and was half the price of it here. It seems to be really popular as it was advertised everywhere. They also came in handy as aftersun when everyone was sunburnt
Mac lip conditioner: this is my first mac purchase and I’m feeling very guilty because it feels just like my johnsons but cost about £12! It was purely the boredom of waiting for a connecting flight and the duty free being there.
My mum also bought the new Clinique dark spot corrector moisturiser because she thought it worked out cheaper. I’ve just checked and its £32 here and she paid £31 when we could’ve waited for bonus time and bought 2 things. Oh well!
And 3 perfumes! My dad always buys from the same shop and knows the owner so he bought quite a few for himself. While I was waiting, I had a smell of a few and bought western valley Tuscan because it smells quite different. Before I knew it, they had wrapped 2 other perfumes for me because I said I liked them. How did that happen?! :eek:So I know have an estee lauder perfume which I can’t remember the name of and a Roberto cavalli?
A Japanese magic hair water .It’s meant to tame frizz but it just makes my hair shiny.
A pack of makeup sponges and a boss orange lotion which I won in the duty free. I think I might put this on ebay because the perfume smells a lot like ghost and I have a ghost lotion already.
I was going to buy a BB cream to try as I’ve heard bloggers talk about them but I wasn’t sure if they’d be any good. I also tried benefit’s new chacha tint which I have to say stayed on for a whole day and suits me better than benetint or posietint.
Sorry for the extremely long post, hope you’re all well and hugs to those that need them:)
I think I’m going to go shower, eat and sleep for a veeery long time. I’m sure I’ll find something else when I eventually unpack so will post later.Toiletry spend £34.95 In: 10 out:130 -
