I'm on a roll (finally!)
TA
Dove Silk Dry Deodorant (roll on): WIBA? I don't think so. This had been open for longer than I can remember, without being used. No idea why. Maybe I was using two at the same time or didn't like the smell.
GA
Clinique High Impact Mascara Trial Size: WIBA? Have plenty of mascaras in the stash, gave this to my bff who loved it, so told her I'll give her the other one of these I have too.
UUs
Sure Natural Minerals Pure Deodorant (roll in): WIBA? No! I bought a 6 pack from Costco, and finally onto the last one. I cannot wait to try something else. It works, but I'm just bored of it!
Pantene Repair & Protect Shampoo 10ml: WIBA? Yes. Wasn't sure the last time I used this, but actually liked how my hair felt afterwards.
Pantene Repair & Protect Conditioner 10ml: WIBA? As above.
Pantene 2 min Deep Repair Masque 10ml: WIBA? As others have said, it's probably just conditioner left on longer, but my hair felt so nice after using it!! I might buy again, although going through my stash I found a mini S&G Hair Supply Mask which I'll now try
Rosemary BB stands for Blemish Balm afaik. It's really popular in Asian countries from what I've read, and has been imported to here as the next big thing.
Adela I do the same re: trying everything I buy! That's why I don't have much I can give away!!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

Some mobile companies if you haven't use the phone for a long time cancel the credit and the sim card, this may have happened to you. Used to happen a lot to my Nephew when he was young and never really used his, he had to send a text every six months to keep his credit etc.0 -
my Joliebox has for once arrived when everyone else got it :eek: so i have INs. will declare later on when everyone else has got it.
i also have some outs. after finding out what was in my kheils sample pots i started last night, DH has made me chuck them. they started stinging my face badly so he looked to see what the hell they were. he knows lots about explosives from work and they are very high in stuff that shouldn't be near anyones face including engine coolant and hydraulic fluid as well as the explosives. the third ingredient neither of us knew what it was but it didn't sound good and being in the top 5 or so will have been a bigger constituent. I'm avoiding Kheils from now on!0 -
how much has everyone got for the value of this months JB? i got £12.75 after hunting the internet, converting one from euro to pounds because you cant buy it in the UK and guessing the size of one of them and prob over-estimating. glad i still only pay £10 for it because i'm an early subscriber, those paying £12.95 will have lost money this month! shocking really.
also, the "full size" isn't a full size, it is available in proper tubes and pots which are the full size. we got a "trial size" according to the companies website. :mad:0 -

Hi all,
A cheeky wee half day at work for me, a relaxing afternoon yippee!
Couple more UUs:
30ml Loccitane Shea Butter Hibiscus Flower handcream - I got this for Christmas and just love the smell. I would definitely buy again, but I think it's a limited edition. Still got plenty other handcreams anyway.
S&G Glad pits deodorant - WBA, but have 8 more in the stash that I've bought when it's been on 3 for 2. However, I was doing some research, and it's got an ingredient that is supposed to make yellow staining on your clothes worse. I do get quite a lot of stains, although I don't really sweat very much at all. So I think once I've used up the stash, I will try something different, and hopefully cheaper!!
