I had the evening primrose shampoo as well KM, I am dying to try it but have so many open shampoo bottles! Some are spluttering though, so will be washing my hair everyday for a bit

(I have waist length hair and no shower, I tend to be lazy with the washing)

Yes, I am dying to try but will UU my Liz Earle first - goes off to polish halo before...........

Ooohh liking the sound of this - how do I get one???

Also have to declare 3 INs - after reading all your rave reviews about the Boots Botanics Face Soothing Cleansing Balm I caved in and bought 3 on the 3 for 2 offer.

Shift up on the naughty step..

I like Bicester - they have a L'Occitane store, a Molton Brown Store, a Cosmetics Co Store, plus a Kipling store

Soime INs from my Amarya Beauty box - my shampoo seems to be a different variety to everyone else's but still John Masters and still £16:

John Masters Organics evening primrose shampoo for dry hair
John Masters Organics lip calm
Ren bio retinoid concentrate 2ml

Very exciting and now can't wait for next month.

Is Bicester a McArthur Glen site? I also love the Radley and Osprey shops at Cheshire Oaks. We always mooch and buy from That's Entertainment as well which is brilliant for old CDs.

I have 3 INS to declare today but they were mega bargains so am not going on naughty step. INS : 3 x Clairol Root Touch Up kits - 99p each from Family Bargains. I guess the colour's been discontinued.

I have my first IN of the month to declare:

I bought Marie Claire for the Neal's Yard Rose Moisturiser.

Before this challenge I would have bought at least two, so I'm fairly pleased with myself

I was soooo happy to be out and about. :j I went on a short trip to Waitrose which might not sound v exciting but it was the first time I've left the house this month. I stuck to my shopping list and managed to ignore the 1/3rd off Neal's Yard offer and the £3 Organic Surge shower gels and bubble baths. Progress! :rotfl:

Will let you know how i get on with the NEOM! Used one of the Body Lotions before and absolutly loved it In fact, i think i have another one coming in my LIB Mother's Day Box haha

You would need to check if there are any left of the Harrods box as its a limited edition but get back to me if you want to sign up as i can refer you

UU

Lavera Organic Rose Eye Gel, 1ml

OUT

10 little samples of Veil Cream in various shades - All dried up now LOL!

Skyllo

Finally a couple of UUs.

Herbal Essences volume conditioner: WIBA? Yes, if on offer. It detangles my hair without weighing it down. I'm now onto a L'Oreal Elvive one.

Eucerin Aquaporin moisturiser: WIBA? Yes, I already have on the recent Boots 3 for 2. I love this, really moisturising but not too heavy.

I've been disappointed with the Clinique moisture surge from Cosmo. My skin is so dry that it's not moisturising enough! I offered it to my flatmate but she says it's too heavy for her! Might try and remember to give it to my mum when I go visit at Easter.

UU

TK Maxx Designer Soap, Ocean x 1

SuiDreams

Been out at the beach with the dogs and DH for most of the day getting blown about bythe wind at least it was sunny. I was going to go to Debenhams on the way home and get some more stuff (that i probably don't need just yet) to get the 10% off and the 500 bonus points but forgot to take my beauty card out with me, so saved my self from another purchase.

My TBS LYB card arrived today, tempted to put a fake birthday on it to get the free gift this month.

I also have a UU Olay sensitive moisturizer,WNBA for myself and would only buy for DH if on offer.

I daren't even look Itzybitzy. It's buying kits like the beauty boxes that got me into having a huge stash in the first place. I'm quite happy now with the majority of what I use and my stash now is created by Christmas and birthday gifts and if I splurge on any good offers I see. I really mustn't sign up for a monthly subscription to anything but thanks for offering the referral.

I'm not so sure about this product any more either. Saying that though I'm using the one that I got free with Glamour mag about this time last year so maybe that's got something to do with it!! I use it as a night cream. When I first opened it I found it comforting although I did (and still do) need a serum underneath. As I've used it more it feels like it's pumped full of silicone (maybe it is?) and it feels like an oily primer on my skin. Some days my skin feels really soft after using it and some it doesn't There seems to be no consistency with it. Won't buy again. Not even tempted to look for a Cosmo with it attached.

Saying that I had a look in WH Smith today and still saw no copies of Cosmo with the scrub attached. Plenty of lip glosses and mascaras out there.

have repainted my nails today. Did my toenails and they look so messy. I think this is because I used OPI Houston We Have a Purple which is a jelly lacquer so you need loads of coats to make it look good. On my fingers I am wearing $OPI Nonfat Soy Half Caff - a lovely neutral colour.
