A plea! I finally got the Pantene Pro V survey out to those who I posted samples to. Has anyone else used the new Pantene Pro V products? Did you get samples in the post?
Did you rate them or hate them? Could you spare five minutes to complete a survey that I can PMM you - do PMM me!
If anyone liked it and needs shampoo/conditioner, I have some £1 vouchers for Mr T's only, expiring March.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -

This is getting to be tiresome LOL!
Must....resist.....lol!
Is anyone else going through this?
I did that today!! Had 8 toiletries items in my watch list all ending today...but guess what?.......I didnt buy any of them!! :j I ummed and ahhhhed for ages, but kinda realised that I didnt really need any of them right this minute. I'll probably buy them at some point in the future though.Did you buy these from Ebay? Only asking because I wasn't aware that Boots sold the Gok items singularly. Do Boots only sell Gok products at Christmas as well? Only asking as Emma has developed a fondness for his products. They smell too floral for me though.
Yes, they were off ebay.......there's a fair number on there at the moment that are "unwanted xmas presents" I think sometimes ppl just keep the itens they want and sell the rest of the collection.
An unintentional and unexplained IN - because in my daughter's room a bar of Cusson's Pearl soap has mysteriously appeared - alongside an ancient bottle of Olbas Oil (costing 46p)! The Olbas has been binned, but I now have an extra bar of soap in the stash - although I'm considering telling OH to use it because it smells similar to Dove which he likes (and I dont)XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:wave:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX0 -

I really rate them on my skin, and you can get little sets to try it out , I originally had mine from QVC.
I feel so smooth today
And oi, YOU LOT, bad influences... got my first Kipling Bag today... I needed a laptop sleeve and it was so cute, and so purple, and had extra pockets for BITS which most laptop sleeves forget about. And was in the sale.0 -

Another UU!
Clarin's Creme Blusher.
WIBA? Yes! Easy to go on, gives a great colour, and the first blusher I have ever used up in its entirety...ever! (I even got a cotton bud out to go round the lip of it to catch any offending little bits that were hanging round.)
I just look up how much they cost nowadays and it's £18, which is a pretty penny, but worth it, I think. It just made me angry to think how much I spent on Benefit Sugarbomb and Benetint, though, and they don't suit me anywhere near as well! :mad:
Oh, also, I managed to sell a TBS body scrub and body butter on Ebay as I know there's no way I will get round to using them before they go off. Happy days! :APlease call me 'Pickle'
No More Buying Books: ???
No More Buying DVDs: ???
NMB Toiletries ??? and I've gone back for my Masters at the University of Use Ups!
Proud to be dealing with her debts 1198~
