    Only ins to report today I am afraid.
    John Frieda colour renew sheer blonde shampoo and conditioner
    John Frieda 3 day straight frizz ease.

    I needed the conditioner and Asda have 3 for £10 on John Frieda products at the moment. I couldn't just buy one product at nearly £6 so the stash is growing which was not the point. I have been working hard to get it down. This is my "hair" stash which isn't bad at all I think.

  • a few UU, 1 Avon vitamin C moisturiser which has been sitting waiting to be used up for months (i stupidly left my current moisturiser at my parents when i visited last week argh). Also an Avon reflection handwash.

    March should still hold a few more UU, my conditioner is spluttering and my body wash, face wash and foundation are all nearing their ends HURRAH :D

    One uu, Alberto Balsam Intensive Conditioning Treatment, was attracted by the promise of similar ingredients to higher priced products but wnba as my hair did not look very conditioned after using it.

  • Hello everyone

    I have some UU!

    Burts Bees milk and shea shower gel, WNBA - I started to use this because I noticed it had separated while hiding in the stash and I thought this was why it smelled a bit weird, but someone else finished theirs a few pages back and said that it smelled nasty so I think the product might just smell awful! Was also too runny and didn't lather, so all in all not impressed.

    Pantene Repair and Protect shampoo and conditioner sachets - I got these from supersavvyme before Christmas and just got round to using them, WNBA, nothing wrong with them as such but I'm sure there is something more exciting than Pantene out there!

    I am surrounded by cut open tubes and upside down bottles so am hoping for several UU in the next few days, even some make up! :D

    A vaseline deodorant I would buy again but I currently have 2 lidl deodorants, (OH also has 2 lidl deodorants) on the go- so that's 4!. After these have gone I have a pitrok to try out.

    Hope you're all spiffing!

    i will have a UU when i take my make up off later:
    Eve Lom cleanser sachet - i know the stuff has cult status but i think its awful. like smearing vaseline on my face and would prob give the same effect while saving me over £20! it did clean my face well but i really wouldn't use a full pot of this. glad i got the chance to try it without buying it!

    .... when exposed to GHDs it made my hair smell like cheese and onion crisps.

    Oh Helen that made me laugh so much, I can see people looking round the room as you waft past looking for who is eating their packed lunch!

    Out, Dr hauska Cleanser, I like this, its makes my skin nice and soft and gets the muck off. But onwards to the rest of the stash!
  • Hello ladies - what a week! Can't even get a break to go online and do anything slightly fun.

    So I have been bad, I am here to confess. It doesn't help that I work right on the high street now, so everything is at my fingertips, so I will be on the naughty step for the rest of the month. I'm quite disappointed in myself, but at least I didn't pay retail for anything, but still......bad me!

    First some outs:

    CG rodeo fanatic nail polish - sold - I am still working on diminishing my nail polish stash, I have to do another inventory and see which other ones I'm going to sell and clear out.

    Lancome teint foundation - this was a large 10 day sample, and I did really love how dewy it made my face look, but I heard that Lancome's animal testing policy is a bit shady, so for that reason I WNBA

    MAC studio fix foundation - the product I had was completely the wrong colour for me, so I'm so glad to be finished with this, I had to mix with another foundation to try to match my skin more closely. Those MAC girls really screwed up when they sold me this colour...yikes! The consistency worked well with my skin, but after a couple of hours it did make my skin oily

    MAC studio sculpt foundation - way to thick for my liking - WNBA

    Now for the IN's:

    Marc jacob daisy fresh version perfume
    Lanvin Eclat d'arpege perfume
    then I got roughly 20+ perfume samples, which I won't be keeping, they will be GA very soon
    Phyto volumizing shampoo (2x) - b1g1f - (I'm spluttering on my shampoo, so that is why I bought these)

    Ok so I am on the naughty step now for the first time since the challenge began....I will behave this week, wish me luck! :)
