    Evening all

    I'm finally back online - stupid BT! I think I had a very good July, lots of UU's, and OUTs via FB swapsies and Ebay, but this did mean I had a few INS from swapsies! however they are all INS that I will use as they were wanted :)

    Gotta say to whoever sent me the salt spray (sorry cannot get brain to link MSE names to FB names!) - I love love love it :D I never ever wear my hair wavy but with this I have and have had so many compliments :), including from the guy I fancy ;):o

    So to start off August I've had 2 INS and one OUT

    INS - 1 x Boots Maximum Hold Hairspray and 1 x Home Bargains Festival Dry Shampoo. Both were needed as had run out.

    OUT - Molton Brown Naran Ji Hand Lotion - sold on Ebay :)

    I'm moving flats on Saturday so will have a few UUs and OUTs to post at end of week as I'm not taking stuff that only has a few uses left in them.

    Just had a fab bath with 2 UU's:

    Lush Dorothy Bubble Bar - WIBA? Probably not, I'm not really feeling baths at the moment and this didn't wow me.

    Lush Ex-Factor Bath Ballistic - WIBA? I really like the scent of butterball and this has the added bonus of not having the cocoa butter all over the bath. Would definitely buy again if it was around more often!

    Xoxo, how do I put a pic up? Can I do it from my BB?

    I email them to myself from my BB and then save them and upload to photobucket or facebook :D There's probably an easier way though :o

    I don't hoard sanitary products myself - more a case of rushing out at the last minute to buy a pack of tampons! However I've just invested in a Mooncup, so if all goes well I will never have to buy a tampon again...

    I have been thinking about this too but I am not convinced just yet. Do let us know how you get on.

    Happy Birthday Flirtini (and I think I may have missed Fiasco's along the way too? :()

    Welcome to all the newbies and returners :hello:

    Loving the stash lists - I may get brave this month and do mine product by product - I was planning on doing it when I got to under 50 items but it doesn't look like that's happening anytime soon :rotfl::rotfl:

    No IN's or OUT's my end - I have the BS BB voucher from the telegraph to use sometime this week but (apart from my Avon) I'm planning no more this month :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Have a great evening y'all :cool:

    Thanks sarah*a and I have voted too.

    My LHJ S & G clean on me survived another shower this morning - I just want it gone....maybe tomorrow.

    Can't remember if I have already said but my Elizabeth Arden Skin Simple eye cream should be a UU in the next day or two.

    Have a nice evening all x

    I'm in again.

    July went well, I didn't pay money for anything non essential.

    One UU for August, I went into House of Fraser and a woman at the door forced me, forced me I say, to take a free sample size of Clarins eye cream :D

    OUT - S&G Clean on me - Gave it to my mum because I was getting a bit fed up of the smell and she had run out. WBA but not for a few months.

    OUT - S&G can't remember the right name but the intensive conditioner - WNBA because I don't like it and it didn't agree with my hair for the FB swapsies :j

    OUT - rimmel clear nv - it was all gloopy so I binned it. WNBA because i've not had it long and i'd expect it to last longer. I'll replace it with another clear nv though.

    Been thinking about getting one aswell, let us know how you get on -I also think there was a separate thread on MSE about mooncups some time ago...

    Let me know if it is any good for puffy eyes.

    Have given up on the BS Vit E eye cream and now using it on my cuticles. Have opened one from my stash Bliss all around eye cream that I got in the sales months and months ago and so far it seems OK and puffiness may be slightly better.
