    Hi Anni :)

    The LiB website is here:

    http://www.latestinbeauty.com/

    (I think you have to sign up before you can look around)

    I emailed [EMAIL="reservations@latestinbeauty.com"]reservations@latestinbeauty.com[/EMAIL] & just asked if they had any YOU magazine boxes left (it says it has sold out on the site but that wasn't true).

    I mainly bought the YOU box for the Liz Earle C&P (30m) & the Nick Lowe moisturiser (20ml). Once you've paid P&P it works out at around £1 an item. I'm not really sure it's worth it (I was v disappointed with how little Bare Minerals powder there was). You don't have to pay P&P for the Refresh & Recover box so that may be better value for you? HTH :D

    Are you forgetting this Sisley Sample is worth about £30?

    I think it was itzybitzy who said she subscribed to this one. I'm trying the Amarya one from next month, a lot of people on here have that oe and it sounds good. Plus on their website it says you get one full sized item each month. There are some videos on utube showing pervious boxes.

    wasn't me LOL :D

    Imdue myfirst Jolie box this month, if that is what you are getting confused with :) x

    That's why I ordered!! I've wanted to try a Sisley for ages but the price tag always sent me scuttling back to John Lewis and Debenhams! :D

    Whoops must be getting all the boxes confused already.
  • Hello all!

    I have a few UUs to report...

    Aveda madder root shampoo 1litre and aveda shampure 50ml - would buy both again, nice shampoos, but not my HG. That's me finished all my shampoo in the stash except my liz Earle, which is my HG, love it, and can't wait to use it in the shower tomorrow, the smell is divine!

    Garnier 400ml body lotion for dry skin - nice and rich, I would buy again if the price was right, but got lots more to get through first.

    I've also got one or two splutterers, so I feel I'm doing quite well with the challenge. I'm onto my last face wash and day time moisturiser, so I'm pleased about that.

    Had a very MSE day today, switched from virgin to sky this morning, will be saving £16 a month and got £100 cash back on quidco, will also get £40 back from virgin. And one of my survey sites got to £10, so that will be a John Lewis voucher to buy my next liz Earle eyebright :)

    Happy days xxx

    Another UU - OS Tea Tree & Mint shower gel - WBA good value and does a good job. :D
    Have cut off the end of a Time Delay hand cream as well.
    Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. :)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    2 more UU's after tonight's bath. Alberto balsam shampoo WIBA?: Yes, love every flavour of this although DD's not keen on the coconut smell so we avoid that one. It's cheap and suits everyone in the family's hair. Ted Baker men's tools shower gel WIBA?: Gift of DH's, he isn't that fussed by what's in stock. I used it up though because I noticed that he'd opened up an aloe vera soap. He thought he'd finished the shower gel (I wonder why it was left on the side of the bath then?).
    Off to update my stash list post.

  • Bzz Agent sent me a Sure Women Maximum Protection cream anti-perspirant to trial. This is the one that recommends you put it on before bed... very interesting, but I won't do that too often as I'm a shower in the morning person. It will be interesting seeing how it measures up to the HG, Mitchum. Reports will follow...
