Welcome avabelle!!

Welcome back sarah, glad you had a good time.

Sawan, hope you enjoy Alton towers, EH enjoy that beer festival, sounds good fun.

It is Viv - after this evening I will be up to my eyes in it until next Sunday but we've made superb progress today getting set up so we're very happy with that. My feet are killing me though - I ought to have used some foot spray before leaving tonight! I have remembered to pick up the Impulse spray I bought last weekend into the bag to take in with me tomorrow - Earls Court gets so flipping hot as we're having a night out with the team tomorrow so I'll probably need it!

Unintentional ins to declare..

mini radox deodorant

and a cute iccle sudocrem

They were in the 'goodie bag' I got for completing a sponsored walk tonight (along with custard?? milk??? and cereal???), so I don't feel even slightly guilty, I deserved them!!! :rotfl:

i've not done too bad this month, lots of outs this month but mostly because my list had individual razors counted and i've passed 3 packs to my mum for the soldiers care boxes.

I'm down to 166 items now, still a long way to go.
This month i've used up 41 items.

I have started treating myself to some nail polishes. Yesterday i bought a matifiying top coat has anyone used one of these before? I saw some matt nail polishes in the Avon book but resisted in case i didn't like them but i figure with the top coat i can just not use it if i don't like it and i still have the coloured polishes to use.

Oh! I forgot some INs! I bought an Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour set on the plane to Germany because my lips were REALLY dry. Cost 22 euros ( 17 pounds) and was a three piece kit with hand cream. When I was going through duty free I had a look at their price for it; needless to say, it was a lot more! I did need it so no naughty step for me

One UU to report.

So? Sinful Body Spray - WIBA? - Definitely! I love the smell and it lasts quite a long time.

had a weekend away then went to my friends so haven't had a chance to declare my ins:o but this has been over the past week.

INs:
sure crystal deodorant- this was £1.50 in asda and as I use it and don't often see it on offer, it made sense to stock up

mitchum solid- this was also on offer in asda, and I've been wanting to try this

impulse london x2- no other reason than, it was a £1 and I love the smell.

impulse very very pink- this is nothing like very pink and it smells quite masculine:eek:- not sure if I like it (well, thats what happens when I buy without smelling it)

original source shea butter and honey shower gel- This was necessary as I only have a chunk of HIWTK and a mini BS moringa left.

Lush cocktail solid perfume- this was a replacement for my vanillary, just tried it and not sure I like it, smells a bit like incense and hair gel:eek: but I think its just ylang ylang- it's very strong:rotfl:

sample Lush turkish delight body wash (or something)- this was my free product to cover postage (£1.58 for a 30g package:eek:) and inconvenience.

clinique supermoisture foundation sample- I can't resist a freebie

almond oil 500ml- I use this for cleansing and it should last quite a while

but I've also had some UU:

BS mini japanese cherry blossom BB- quite a greasy texture and got a bit tired of the smell so WNBA

BS nutmeg and vanilla lip balm- kind of smelt like coke:rotfl:apart from that it was more a gloss than balm and wasn't practical in a tin as it was quite sticky WNBA

I had another UU but can't remember atm. I don't think I left the naughty step after my INs from dubai but I'm definitely not coming off any time soon:D promise I will be better next month (can't believe it's almost august:eek: and its ramadan!)

I *technically* have 3 ins (bases for cleanser, day moisturiser and night moisturiser), but I need them all to make products I now need, so I'm not counting them. I'm plodding on using up all my other products, too, and I've only got about a third of my large 'Clean on Me' left, even if I have been overusing it.

Hi, last post of the month for me and I have 2 INs and 2 UU's to report.

Have had a review over my toiletry purchases this month and feel I've not done too badly cos I've only bought things that are not in the stash:- Hair colorants, cotton wool pads and Batiste dry shampoo. Of course if the Avon order had come through correctly there would have been two lip stains to add to the stash but they didn't so hay ho.

The 2 INs yesterday however are surplus to stash. I went shopping with Emma yesterday as she had birthday money to spend and it was my fault entirely for suggesting we have a look in TBS at the body butter duos. She then wanted one and I got suckered into the offer at the mo. Came away with the floral body butter duo and mango body scrub for her even though I do have both these items in my stash. Why am I so weak??? lol

Anyway consider this is not too bad as I was good for the whole 30 days previous to this!!

The UUs were the Weleda Almond Cleanser WNBA as the packaging is lousy and a 50ml bottle of Simple moisturiser. I liked this but again the packaging was naff - much prefer my moisturiser in a jar.

So have shopped in my stash today for the TBS Aloe Vera Cleanser which I've just used in the bath and it felt very creamy. Also taken out a No7 Night Cream to replace the Simple moisturiser.

I'll confess now as well that I have asked someone at work (whose daughter has a Sally's card) to get me a bottle of Decleor Herbal Clay mask. I'm not getting on with the Botanics one at all. It's still sludgy and even smells a bit funny now as well.

See you all in August.

Afternoon all. I am back for my week's break to London. I had a lovely time and managed not to spend too much money. :j I made sure that I had plenty of relaxation time as I find London can be very hectic for a holiday with pressure to do "everything". I did get tickets for Ghost the Musical, for my birthday, which was enjoyable.

I do have some IN's and some UUs to report. I got some really nice toiletries as birthday gifts.

Evolve Skin Action Cream
Agent Provocateur 30mls
Elle Macpherson Travel Wipes
Elle Macpherson Pulse Point 8ml
Elle Macpherson Foot Butter 150mls
Elle Macpherson Body Butter 200ml
Elle Macpherson Fresh & Smooth Body Scrub 100mls
Elle Macpherson Start the Day Body Wash 200mls
Elle Macpherson Release the Day Bath Soak 50mls
Balance Me Shower Gel
Elle Macpherson Hand Cream
I also took a lot of products down with me to try and UU. I managed to get through 13.
Toni & Guy Volumising Spray 200ml which worked okay. I bought it in the Boots Clearance about 5 years ago. WIBA? Don't know if it is still made so maybe if it was reduced.
Roc Self Tan 150ml which gave a lovely natural colour. WBA if it was at a good price.
Clinique Self Sun Face Bronzer 15ml which was a freebie. I have another full size one in my stash which I am moving on to. So yes I WBA.
Sure Women Biorhythm Anti-perspirant 35mls x2 Got these at HB for 49p each and wish I could have bought more. WBA as the are a great size and work well. Now I only have one left in my stash.
Listerine Mouthwash 500ml this is my HG mouthwash. Need to buy more as I now have just opened my last bottle in my stash.
Penhaligon’s Lavandula freebie. WNBA - not a sent I took too.
Origins Plantscription Serum freebie - One of the smallest samples I have every had and it has not inspired me to part with my cash for the full size version.
No 7 Blissful Body Wash 50mls - WBA as I loved this. First time I have tried this and what a great lather off it. Much better than my LHJ S & G Clean on Me. I will be buying this in the near future.
Nivea Body Lotion Freebie - WIBA? No - just feel blah about it.
Next Lip Balm
Black Lip Balm (ADAE) both tossed out as the were old and had dried by when I went to use them.

So 11 INs for me and 13 UUs in total. I am off to try and work out my totals for the month of July. See you all in August.
