I just saw the post about the Home Bargains dry shampoo, there's not one near me, is there another one that can be recommended? I'm using Batiste tropical after recommendations from here, but it just seems to need a lot to do the job.
:

I bought an Inecto Coconut Dry Shampoo, seemed to be more economical that the Batiste. Savers had a good range of dry shampoos if you have one of those near you.

I'm another who got a Non Bought In Shower Gel. Printed off my voucher and got Palmolive Aromatherapy Sensual with rose and ginseng. Attractive deep reddish pink and smells very nice indeed. This was actually half price in Tesco, luckily there seem to be a lot of shower gels on offer in there at the moment.
Original Source stuff - not just the gels - is on a Tesco BOGOF. I didn't look too closely but I think I saw some new variants - body scrubs? Which I don't use. They are always bringing out / bringing back new/old scents though, so I shall have to have a closer look when time permits.

I was in Card Factory today buying a card, and they had racks and racks of C cards in already!!! It's only August!!!

One UU for me: Lypsyl strawberry lipbalm. WIBA? Possibly, nice strawberry flavour, not required for some time yet though, lol.

This is probably a long shot but, does anybody know if there's likely to be a No7 £5 voucher in the next couple of weeks? For a mens gift, not for me!

One IN for me, a full size Palmolive Aromatherapy Shower gel. Got it free with a voucher, so no guilt there!

TIA :rotfl:

i need to be on a 'no buying magazines in august' thread as well! I have a terrible addiction to a few different magazines at the moment & really wish I didn't as I'm trying to save for a house deposit! grrr!

If it's the same as me, it seems to be from a competition I entered earlier this year. Sorry!

UU Ultrasun Face, expensive but good stuff so would buy again. I do find I need to reapply through just not often...

Morning all

4 UU's this morning and one OUT plus I'm going to post what will be my UU's/OUT's for tomorrow when I move and get rid of a few bits.

UU's:

- 1 x Tresemme Colour Thrive Brunette Conditioner - WIBA? Yep it's my new HG of daily conditioners. I bought this in Jan and I use it say every other day and only now it's run out amazing value for something that cost me about £2.50! I'm going to use another conditioner for few weeks as want to UU that up but will be stocking up on this soon.

- 1 x Montagne Jeunesse Overnight Fine Line Fask Mask sachet - WIBA? Maybe, really liked how it made my skin feel, and you got 3-4 applications from each sachet so good value.

- 1 x Sanctuary Body Scrub 50ml - WIBA? probably not. Got this in the FB swapsies, love the smell and the fact that it doesn't leave a greasy residue but it wsan't scrubby enough for me

- 1 x Boots Extracts Mango Sugar Scrub - WNBA horrible scrub, leaves a really greasy residue on skin :mad: had to relugate it to feet only in the end.

- 1 x Imperial Leather Foam Shower Gel Tropical - WIBA? No, I used to like these a few years back and got given this one by my nan recently, but I prefer normal shower gels now. It leaves a lovely smell in the bathroom though but sadly it doesn't leave a smell on your skin.

- 1 x Clinique Clarifying Makeup Clear Skin Formla Foundation - WIBA? Yep it's my HG of foundation, but is only available in US/Canada . I've got one left in my stash but I may look at new foundations after I UU that one (in about 8months time!) just to see what is out there.

OUTs:

1 x Clinique High Impact Mascara Black mini - WIBA? wouldn't buy as it's pricey but it's the ones you get free with bonus time. Last one in my stash :eek: I do like it though. I only use mascaras for 2/3months then bin as I have eye problems. Have moved onto a Boots No17 mascara now.

1 x Benefit Boi-ing Concealor - WIBA? This is normally a HG for me but I think I was conned into buying a knock off one on Ebay as this one is nowhere near the normal quality of it. Its not as dense as normal, and has run out in a few months as opposed to a year like normal. It's almost run out so will bin it.

1 x Clinique Repairwear Intensive Eye Cream 5ml - WIBA? Nope, it was a freebie sample but don't feel like it's done anything so will chuck what's left.

Phew!! That's a big list!! I may have one or two more tomorrow too. I will probably be offline for few days to a week as not sure when I'll have internet connected in new flat.

Have a good weekend all

x

I subscribed to Palmolive testing panel back in February. It finished now, unfortunately

Thank you everybody for suggestions about the cotton pads! Sadly, no Wilkinsons or Home Bargains near me. Will venture into Tesco.
