Hello again, ladies!

Another UU: Wash Almighty by S&G.

WIBA? I'm not sure they sell it anymore. Like Clean On Me it lasted for aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *inhales deeply* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages (I have been using it up for months!), but it smelled really, really nice. It's just a pity that it is the *exact* same shade of green as Fairy washing up liquid (I had to do a double-take more than once! :rotfl:)

My HG is still Original Source Mint and Tea Tree, though.

OUT

Parfums Love Lost in Love, Body fragrance

Part of a prezzie x

chickywiggle

Used up: roll on deodrant (only about half full to begin with)
mouthwash
mini bubble bath
toothpaste
handcream (that i forgot i had open as was in my work bag)

In: 2 x kids bubble baths (free pressie from neighbour)
handcream (free - test for Tesc0 mum and baby club)
2 x face wipes (as only about 1 left in current pack - 2 for £1 in poundland).

does Lyclear headlice stuff count as a toiletry or a medicine?? (currently £1 for the mousse and a comb in poundland so got one "just incase").

Well, I'm pleased to say that I did not buy anything from QVC on Beauty day!!!!

I decided to leave the house, go to the pub, watch the football and drink 7 pints!!!!! Well, it stopped me buying eyeshadow I don't need!! I did however feel a little tired at work yesterday. Can't be getting away with antics like that at my age:D


One UU - talc, so £1 in the pot for that

Another £5 in the pot for not buying the TSV!

Two in's today - 2x talc. Needed to replace my UU, and if I bought in bulk I won't have to declare any next month:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Feeling very pleased with myself. I have just put the January Avon and !!!!!!!! catalogues on the doorstep ready for collection in the morning and haven't ordered anything

I am drowning in Avon brocures. Think there is a turf war going on in my neighbourhood. I have had 2 delivered this week. My regular Avon lady is Emma's best friend's mum so I tend to order from her if I want anything but have been very good. I'd rather buy from it when the offers are for reduced prices rather than freebies.

UU = Quiet mind bath elixir

Sunno if I feel more quiet but I do like the smell. WBA sometime in 2020 when I have finished my stash

I have this too but can't smell anything when I use it!

UU

Lacura Cotton Wool Pads x 1

WBA

I've had to go out and buy more cotton pads today. Hadn't finished my last pack (was down to last 5 or so though). Emma swears blind she has not had them. Grrrrr. Got ripped off though I think - bought them from Co-op Pharmacy and was charged £1.55. They are Fairtrade.

DH away again(only 1 night this week)last time he went to this hotel he brought me the soap back as he thought I'd like it(he is away so much he had stopped bringing stuff)it was arran aromatics one of my fav brands so told him to bring all the toiletries back this trip:rotfl:
started to trawl the stash for stuff to take on holiday,we are too mean to pay for two cases(Ryan Air now charge £50 a 15kg case return:mad::mad:) so I take all the main things like shampoo and toothpaste and have worked out how much we need and any bits remaining I leave at the hotel

You're lucky in some respects that your DH stays at hotels that provide lush products! MrM always stays in Premier Inns which now have horrid soap dispensers plastered the walls! He is away again tomorrow night so I see it as a chance to catch up on Series 3 of The Vampire Diaries that I recorded ages ago but can't watch if he is in. He doesn't see Damon Salvatore in the same light as me!! :rotfl:

Would you have seriously bought the Perricone TSV?

2 more UUs for me:-

10ml bottle of Elemis Pro Collagen Quartz Lift Serum. WNBA. I got this on offer as a GWP and would have been so disappointed had I paid for it. If I used one pump of it the serum dried on my skin very quickly and felt tacky. 2 pumps just seemed too much and it didn't absorb.

50ml tub of No 7 Night Cream. WNBA. This stuff was horrid and it has been a chore using it. Smelt chemically and I had to use an oil or serum under it to get it to perform even though it felt very rich.

Another £2.00 into my pot.

Here is a list of moisturisers/serums/oils I now have in stash:-

Facial moisturisers/serums/oils:-
Clinique Moisture Surge
50ml TBS Vitamin E
30ml Elemis Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream
15ml Origins Starting over
15ml Origins Brighter by Nature
5ml Origins Planscription serum
5ml Origins Starting Over serum
5ml No 7 Protect and Perfect serum
30ml TBS Naturalift serum
200ml Goodbye Dry Skin oil

The TBS and Goodby Dry skin products are already opened. Am going to use the TBS serum next and have got Clinique Moisture Surge ready for my next night cream.

Just off for a bath, will be the end of the hideous shell shaped soap - hurrah!!

Think my favourite everything so far is still the Ted Baker stuff - Ive still got my voucher from my aunt at Christmas, think its likeley to go on that... especially with TIGI being half price this month on cheapsmells - so even though Ive got a fair bit of shampoo left, it makes sense (in my world) to buy my shampoo now (well, tomorrow when i get paid!) and save my voucher for Ted Baker...

yes??


Welcome newbies, hugs for anone needing any - roll on Feb !!!

VALM - no I wouldn't have bought the Pericone, but I would have got suckered into a OTO or intro price/ try me etc...... they sell it sooooo well to me!

But, on the basis that I resisted, I saveed £5 into my pot!

Just realised I ahve another UU - some Melatogenine face wash type thing!! Can't remember the full name! Another £1 in the pot
