    3 INs from the Boots 3 for 2: face moisturiser that will be used as I go through about 1 tube a month and cheap stuff like Simple, Johnsons etc just isn't moisturising enough for me!

    Eucerin Dry Skin Relief face cream
    Eucerin Aquaporin Active rich
    La Roche Posay Hydreane riche

    Got an extra 200 points using an voucher from the ACM. :)

    No outs for a while but some things are getting near the end so I'll hopefully have some in March! I know there'll definitely be some INs when the Revlon lip butters launch. :o

    Ladies, we may have a breakthrough! Work took me in the direction of the Boots clearance store earlier so I thought I might as well pop in......walked right round - twice, picked a few things up and book them back again, and walked out empty handed! :T


    GO YOU !!!!!!!!! :T:T:T

    I had two UU last night - Auzzie anti frizz shampoo and conditioner, WIBA? nope. Id buy the others, but this one still reminds me of cats wee, and i really dont like spending my days smelling like that... :rotfl:

    oh - and final piece of news, had a message on facebook earlier, my visiting tealeaf has broken his collarbone in a fall at his new job - isnt that a shame.... :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Oliviab I've got a braun one too. came with a separate head to cut hair as well as epilate and a fancy head with little gel rollers on it to supposedly make it hurt less.

    they do hurt at first, if you've ever had threading done its kinda like that. take a painkiller then have a soak in a hot bath for 20-30 mins then try it. mine can go completely underwater and it hurts less if i do that. the heat also opens up your pores so they come out easier. I've not been brave enough to try underarm yet.

    it does hurt less the more you do it though! just get through the first two weeks or so.

    How often do you use it? I didn't realise it would be as painful as everyone is saying! Maybe I'll stick to shaving. It's so much hassle though!

    As we're nearly at the end of the month, I think I've used a total of 5 products up, which isn't too bad for my first month I think.

    Avon Shower Gel
    Vitamin E Night Cream - WBA, it's good value for money!
    Lee Stafford Dry Shampoo - WNBA I prefer Batiste.
    Bath Bomb - I have so many bath products left!
    Body Shop Cocoa Body Scrub - WBA - Already onto my next tub I had stored up!

    How many products have you used up this month?

    One more UU to report:

    Sure deo - WBA, but I have another one in the stash to use first.

    Been rediscovering things in my stash and decided I'm definitely going to be selling a large portion of the things I just don't use. I'd rather have a small stash of things I use all the time and love than a large stash that looks good but just won't get used!

    One more uu No7 Age Defense cleansing balm 30ml not sure if i'd buy again ( think this one was a gwp) it did the job but it seemed to smell vinegary ( or was it just old?). I tend to have multiple cleansers open and use whichever suits my needs best that day.

    I will have a bin tomorrow of No7 lash 360 mascara as it will at the 6 month mark and its starting to go clumpy now as well. This was another gwp and have another one in the stash. WNBA was a good mascara but nothing special.

    Unless I have another UU tomorrow my totals for Feb will be 15 outs (UU/BIN/GA) and 28 ins ( including free samples and minis) Totals do not include toothpaste/soap/full sized deodorant as do not have a problem with these items so far. Have really enjoyed being part of this months challenge and even though i have more ins than outs I've UU more items than I have in a long time.
  • I made it! A full month with NO purchases! I did get a few free make up items from work, but as I didnt buy them I feel very proud :D Wish i had managed more UU though! Bring on a UU filled March :D
