Also got free 75ml of tinted moisturiser and 75ml body lotion as GWP.

Hi ladies,
INs to report
Benefit Hello Flawless x2: Definitely counting these as ins. They were necessary though as my shade has been discontinued :eek::eek::(
And that's so annoyingHave you tried contacting Avon directly to try to get your rep's details from them? We had an Avon book dropped round at the weekend, haven't had a rep in ages, I just used to order online.
VALM I managed to resist the reduced shatters on ASOS. If they'd had the turquoise one I don't think I would have been as strong though!No buying unnecessary toiletries/makeup in May: Unnecessary spend £17.60
May INs: 14 UUs/OUTs/GAs: 11
2012 INs: 77 UUs/OUTs/GAs: 91
Savings from UUs: £60.50

Hello Ladies, I hope you're all well.
A few ins and outs.
Outs:
Vaseline deodrant- WIBA? Yes, it's lovely on my delicate skin
Mini Shampoo liberated from hotel- WISA? Probably not.
GA:
Marks and Spencers Magnolia Body Butter- WIBA? No. I did love the smell but it made my skin sting.
No7 Nail Varnish- WIBA? No- chipped WAYYYY too easily.
A load of GWP No7 facial products- WIBA? Maybe, for my mother anyway.
INS:
TBS Satsuma lip balm
TBS Pink Grapefruit soap
TBS Satsuma soap
TBS Candied ginger body butter
TBS Moroccan Rose Body Butter
TBS The sparkler atomiser.0 -
Hello All - been on holidays so have been AWOL - no OUT's but have some IN's which I'll post further down
lynseydee - As you are almost into your third trimester (wow that went super fast!! Seems only yesterday you were telling us about it) you should be fine to use Lavender - especially in lotions and potions. It is advised that you don't ingest it (Cookies/Tea etc as it can relax your cervical muscles and bring on an early labour - however it can help if you go overdue

I managed not to buy anything whilst I was away :T but I did free the hotel toiletries :rotfl: So I have single use (tiny tiny tiny) bottles of Mandarin & Bergamot Shampoo, Conditioner & Body Lotion (They smell amazing!). I'm going to leave them in my travel kit so really I have nothing to report :rotfl: The Hotel had bottles of handwash, showergel and hand lotion attached to the bathroom walls in the same 'flavour' which I wished I'd know beforehand as I would have taken some empty mini bottles and taken a 'souvenir' :rotfl: :rotfl:
Hope everyone is well :cool:0 -
UU - small basic oil of olay moisturiser....WIBA? Maybe...but have a huge tub of No7 stuff to get through before anything else gets purchased. I may be here a while!
Ohhh, and, erm, 2 x large L'oreal elvive colour protect conditioners IN...but they were on offer....oh.....ok.....

Thanks Sarah. I know what you mean about it going super fast. I remember when I found out I was pregnant at six weeks. Just have to get Christmas out the way and then a couple more weeks at work and then start my maternity :eek:
Hope you had a good holiday, hubby and I have this week off work and we're starting on decorating the nursery. After having disagreements about which room baby should go in, and me putting my foot down, I thought I was going to be doing it all myself but hubby won't let me lift a finger and is doing the second coat now :jDid owe £9,951.96
Now helping hubby pay off loan. Finally paid off :j

:A Week 3 of the month - haven't purchased anything!
All I need is some shampoo/cond and deo - got enough Superdrug points to buy them at the weekend. Must.Stay.Strong.0 -
VALM I managed to resist the reduced shatters on ASOS. If they'd had the turquoise one I don't think I would have been as strong though!
Well done. I'm actually looking for the red one or a similar brand as well for Emma. Brandalley have some OPI on sale and the red one is on there but it's in a set and I don't want the other one.
My Rainbow Connection has not arrived today. My nails however need repainting and I'm now applying OPI Royal Rajah Ruby.
No UUs to report still.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
