Valm or Rosmery??? Was it one of you saying that your HG mask was Decleor??? Purifying mask is £12.95 on cheapsmells.. Clay mask 50ml is £13.95. Still not cheap - but a bargin for Decelor!!

200ml Clay mask £17.95!!!!!

Thought I may as well take a look as willowbee mentioned it:rotfl::rotfl:

Oh my word I already have three items in my basket......... I'm heading for trouble

Thanks Willowbee!! Got myself a moisturiser and an aftersun for my big Vegas trip later on in the year :T:T:T

I saw Willowbee's post - opened up the cheapsmells page and then shut it straight down as I had to actually order something else that's not toiletry related. We are off to Kendal for the weekend and I got a discount voucher through for a treasure hunt. Have ordered it. Should be fun and keep both MrM and Emma occupied. I'll be glad to do a proper guided tour as well - get to know a bit of it's history. Was being strong and was not going to waiver until .....

I did it.... you're a bad, bad influence. If I were younger my mummy would tell me not to play with you:D

But, a huge thanks - saved me some cash there as I just KNOW I would shell out on the aftersun before my hols!

Lets see if the others can resist too

I saw this post! Really scrappie are you throwing down the gauntlet? I will not be baited into buying more Decleor masks but the price is sooooo good isn't it? I did buy one recently from JL (and paid full price - *cry*).

BTW it's the Herbal Clay Mask that I love and it's the fabbest thing ever. Must resist - need money for Kendal plus Emma's on school holidays and I seem to leak money then to stop her getting bored. x

Four use ups in the shower this morning.

Oringinal Source Minty Conditioner - Bought it in the hope it would give me the same whoosh as the Shampoo which is discontinued. It didn't and contains no where near enough moisturiser for my hair i was just using it on the roots.

John Freida - Deep Repair Intensive Mask - WBA. Liked this. I use an internsive everyday and this was just right normally JF intensives are sillicone full and make my hair go lank. This was really nice though.

Philosophy Pure Grace Bath/Shower - WBA. Like Philos products although have at least fifteen shower gels in my stash so trying no to buy anymore. (until the TSV in April anyway)

Philosophy Pure Grace Lotion - HG body lotion soaks in really well. Again massive stocks to get through first. Also today i only had enough for half my body so did my torso/arms only an on my bottom half...

Como Shambhala (sp?) Body Lotion - Little sample size that came in Febs GB. Really liked it although not sure on the smell as it is very powerfull. Smells really earthy and herby and overpowering. Too much to use at night. WNBA as its about £750 or something ridiculous.

Happy with with lots of use ups this morning - just concerned i may smell a little random today!

Oh; and ha a QVC blip yesterday. Got the New CID TSV in the black and a Nails Inc Juicy Sheers collection.

Oh yeh there's a Philosophy TSV at the end of April. Looks like it will have the new perfume in it. Maybe I'll go for that as I have very little fragrance.

IMade it past Bath and Body Works! Close call they had an offer for a free jute tote bag.

I wouldn't have. Wish we have B&BW here still. I had another UU yesterday which was as bottle of their White Citrus body lotion. Lovely stuff. Smells very zesty and not synthetic.

Well if I didn't know better (last nights 'cheapsmells incident) I would have said I was 'cured' today.

Went into town, walked past TBS - did not go in, even tho there was a stash of 'stuff' with a big 50% off sign above it. Then walked past Debs - big beauty promo in the window - resisted again.

At this point I was feeling quite superior and decided to 'test' myself by walking thro Boots - did not even stop to look at anything, head down and marched on.

Wow I feel so proud of myself after my little blip last night :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yay scrappie xx

Sore throat has got a lot worse and my tonsils are covered in white spots, so a trip to the doctors tomorrow, I think.

Poor you Lady M. This cold that's been doing the rounds is awful. MrM has had it and I usually claim he has "man flu" because he is a bit dramatic shall we say but this time he has been really ill. Take care.

Am so glad it's Friday tomorrow and I have a week off. Yay.

Put the rest of the LG TSV on Ebay last weekend equalling 3 items. Have got a bid on one and the other two are being watched by 4 and 3 people respectively. Hope they bid. Fingers crossed.

Not sure if I'll get to post for a few days as we are away at weekend so will have to put my INs and OUTs for March on in April. See, am ever hopeful of more UUs although MrM is going to Chester tomorrow for work and I have already started sowing the seeds of hope that he will go to Cheshire Oaks and stop by the L'Occitane shop for me.

Hi all,

2 UU for me: another moisturiser as predicted- Asprey purple water body lotion 50ml WIBA? This was a posh hotel freebie, and i've never really heard of it, so it's probably mightily expensive. It was fantastic stuff though, sank in quickly, felt silky, lush.
3/5 done! Now my two least favourites left

TBS rainforest radiance colour protect conditioner 250ml WIBA? Yes, already have a 400ml in the stash- does a grand job.

Yay, the stash is going the right way anyway. I've got another spluttering scrub, hand scrub and shower cream.

Hope you get well soon LadyM, and hugs to all.

Lady M - hope that you're soon feeling better.

Maddiemay - saw your post and had to go check my e-mails for the TSV details!!! OOOhhhhhh, no, no ,n I will not buy it:p

Valm - you do make me laugh!! Yes, the Decleor clay mask is amazing isn't it??? I oftend use it together with the phytopeel - amazing results. I really don't mind spending on stuff that gives results and doesn't react with my skin. But it's sooooo nice to get a 'deal' on it to. So I was really pleased with my cheapsmells buys. Hope you have a lovely weekend - enjoy the treasure hunt:D

Rosemary - that was a really good plant sale, well done you!

Sawan - I second that the purchase of the cleanser/toner combo is just very MSE.

I had such big plans for the last two weeks, re sorting my stash. Hardly done anything with it - spent the time sortingthe garden. Could not 'waste' this good weather. Temp is supposed to drop from Sat, so will try my best to do something on Sun/ Mon or Tues.

In my defense, I also spent a day sorting out paperwork for PPI reclaiming, after one letter to M&S a few months ago resulted in a £700 cheque on the doormat. I have now dug out details of every card I have ever owned - I'm after the lot of 'em!!! May as well try - you never know:D

Skyllo

Does anyone know what the Philosophy TSV coming up is? I haven't ordered from QVC before so I'm not sure how good the TSV deals usually are! I love Philosophy but it's way out of my budget.

scrappie_2

Skyllo - don't get involved...............it's a very dangerous slippery slope, and only a hop, skip and a jump away from OTO's:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Seriously - TSV's are usually fantastic value, esp the fragrance ones. Got a 5 piece AG set last yr for about £45ish - all full size products.

Not had any info on what's in the set, but I'm sure it will be worth a look.

They often contain the skincare range, and that's not my thing - so hopfully it won't be a fragrace TSV or I'm in trouble!!

asset2004

I watched Super Scrimpers top tips the other night, couldn't believe there wasn't one things I didn't know about made me feel very smug!
Anyway cut the end off a tea tree facial wash, bought from Primark I think for 50p reduced. Still have at least another week of use in it though! WBA as good value at that price.

Mingle

Just a few OUTS before I catch up on the rest of the thread- I hope you're all spiffing (and slathering on the sun lotion!)

Andrew Collinge Brunette Conditioner- SOLD on ebay. I have one on the go at the moment and it hasn't made a difference to my hair
Andrew Collinge Shampoo- As above.
TBS Candied Ginger Body Butter- as above- unopened so I didn't smell it.

Got the LiB box, also trying to wear make up more often to look like I am making an effort.
