Again, this is how I feel. I don't want to cut back on the cost of, say, my moisturiser but am always on the look out for the best bargainous way to buy it!

me too! if i get bonus items like with the Elemis sets its just a plus too


just in case anyone is interested, this months ELLE says next months out on the 1st Feb has a free Soap & Glory mascara worth a tenner with it. mag is £3.80 so if you need a new mascara you'd save some money.

The Clinique mascara swap caught my eye, but unfortunately I have no old mascaras lying about Will it count as 2 INs and 1 UU if I buy a mascara from Primark then swap it for a Clinque sample :rotfl:

Another UU to report!

Sanex dermo Bath (1 from the many stash after the tesco dtd).

WNBA dont actually like the fact that it has no fragrence what so ever, it does make nice bubbles tho.

Just replaced it with the last of the Dtd bottles of the stuff.

It's made an interesting coloured gloop that's for sure. But it's just a mix of all the shampoos/shower gels so it worked fine, just doesn't smell like any of the ones which went into it.

It certainly does I've done this several times and think its better if you can use a bottle that's not see through so you don't see how revolting it looks!

Why is it that some products never seem to come to an end... and it's usually the ones that you don't really like?! :mad:

Also does anyone despise body moisturising in the winter as much as I do??? I can't bear the coldness while waiting for it to soak in.

UU Tigi Superstar Conditioner 750ml so this was a LHJ! WBA as it smells lush and made my hair so soft it felt more like an intensive conditioner onto a TBS Rainforest one now.

1 UU -

Lush So White ballistic - WNBA, the scent was gorgeous when it was dry but could smell !!!!!! all when it was in the bath!

Right, I need to get my !!!! in this thread and get some UUs under my belt! Getting an inventory together is going to take at least a day as my "stash" is everywhere. Cardboard boxes under my desk, carrier bags full stuffed in clothes draws, products stuffed in every nook and cranny and why did I think stuffing shampoo bottles behind my wardrobe was a good idea? :eek:
Do people store similar items together or in batches of 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner, 1 soap, 1 mascara etc?

My goals for Jan are:
10 UUs to include 1 mascara, 2 shampoos, 1 cleanser, 1 moisturiser. I've already used up one foundation and have listed 3 unopened MAC & Laura Mercier products on ebay this week.
Sort out the stash at my parents house, I don't even know what I've got there aside from 6 boxes of dried up wax strips
PYN(m/f)
PY(T)N(m)


completelylost i use a body oil right after having a bath while the bath is still full so the bathroom's nicely warm and steamy still.

Are amarya beauty boxes good? I'm subscribed to feel unique, glossybox and boudoir privee but dropping glossybox and possibly boudoir privee too. But wouldn't say no to trying a new one Uh oh...

Oh a good review - I have this and the shampoo in my stash. I am looking forward to using it.

I was out today to return a few things to M & S and popped into B**ts to use my 2 vouchers so 2 packs of the No 7 Quick Thinking Wipes cost £4. I also managed to get the ACM to print out the £2 off lipstick or mascara and used it to buy a £1.99 Natural Collection Lipstick There wasn't much colour choice left but got a lovely nude shade for free.
