    Awww bless :D I save my 'empties' and change them at Origins for free product samples. My OH never tells me when he's finished something and I usually have to go fishing in the bin to find them :rotfl:

    Oooh thanks for the tip, I'll have to try that! :)

    Huge boost to my OUT's this afternoon, thanks to a good clear-out:-

    8 various body lotions, body scrubs and lip glosses to give away to my friend.
    1 Boots No7 nail polish to give away to my mum. (bought it recently but then discovered I already had the same one but had forgotten! :eek:)
    1 ancient mini hairspray for the bin.

    I'm in this month too!
    I also got the face wipes, I'm personally quite pleased with them, they removed my waterproof make-up well (better than some make-up removers). Have 2 OUTS/UU's - a moisturizer that went off after being opened and not used for too long, and a Gorgeus by Gok body butter that I used up but not liked.

    Now I'm moving onto my Sanctuary and Benefit b.right minis :) I'm excited by them. I got so many nice products recently from the freebie and competition boards I made myself a little ''beauty box'' :)

    been away to a/ DS3s graduation and b/ to see DS2 and his girl in their new house so busy weekend.Came home inbetween on friday and traffic on M5 dreadful and everyone far too close no wonder that horrific crash happened.

    Bought 2 mags essentials witha £20 Monsoon card and woman and homw with a clarins coupon for cream worth £34.
    bit annoyed about the Monsoon card as it is only when you take off the wrapper and read inside you find out it is only if you spend £80 and ends mid december:mad: seemed to be a bit of a con to me.
    the clarins thing you have to phone to see which shop is doing it and have a consultation so hope there will be one near me.
    had a bamboo massage which was part lengths of bamboo being rolled over bits of me and part hand massage,the therapist also did a head massage including a deep conditioning mask that she left on....ok I thought as we are going home but as the journey too twice as long as usual my head felt cold and wet !
    finally had a major problem with nails which I had done for the graduation,it started to chip the morning after I did it then the next day when I went swimming it all peeled off each nail in one bit:eek::eek:

    Hi supersully :). Is there any chance you could enlarge your font size for those of us with knacke**d eyes? Would be grateful not to squint, it makes my wrinkles worse :o.
    Oops at the number of brown eye shadows!
    If you're feeling bad at your new purchases, can you return them? Or did you dive straight in in your excitement ;)

    Ive edited my previous post to make it bigger, newbie alert lol.

    No chance or returning the cream, my dog felt the need to a have a chew on the tube, he does have a lovely soft nose now though:undecided

    UU some boots face wipes today WIBA? yes have 2 more packs to use up!

    More INs (*groans)
    • Garnier Eye Make Up remover (as recommended on here)
    • Olay Total Effects Eye Cream with Max Factor Concealer x 2 (purchased at HB for £2.99 :D vs Boots at £15
    I did get rid of a few things though
    • L'Occitaine wipes x 4 (donated as not my skin type);
    • Barielle Am Puffy Eye Cream 30ml WNBA been in the stash for a few years and kept trying to go back to it - binned as I hated it
    • Clinique Liquid Soap (I have another one in the stash)
    My foot cream is still spluttering away and my Tigi Bedhead Texture Paste is also nearly done. I have packed this for my holiday (less to bring back) and I opened up my Label M Matt Paste this morning. Me no likey :(. I have had to put up with flat hair all day. Yet another waste of dosh.

    if you struggle with flat hair, just part your hair lift up the top layers of hair and slightly backcomb the layers underneath. no cost involved and it brushes out! i have terribly curly hair, yet my roots are flat! so i have to backcomb to get them looking full! :D xx

    Goals: Save £500 for emergencies, Save £200 of Amazon vouchers for Xmas, fix my holey clothes!
