    Sarah*a - hope your feeling better soon.

    I collected my easter bunny gift from the post office today:j:j It was delivered on Thursday, but I wasn't home:o Anyways, I have it now - so thanks very much to my 'bunny' -

    Champgneys cleansing wipes
    Champgneys facial polish
    Refillable Atomiser - +++ excited by this as I will no longer have to cart my full 200ml bottle around with me!

    I really, really want to go and polish my face now, but suppose that I should at least wait untill I need to open another product........:mad:

    Had a bit of a moment this morning - I've had a treeible few weeks with work, eventually had to go off sick with stress. On my way to my 'stress management' this morning I had to walk past Boots. Well, I became obsessed with 'needing' a BB cream, do not ask me why, I have no idea. However, I did know that there was no way I intended to pay full price for one - so off I went on a hunt for a No7 £5 voucher.

    I seem to remember getting one of these almost everytime I shopped in there, but not today. Bought other stuff I needed (dental and deo, don't count those on my in list) and no voucher. So I left in disscust:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I was in such a strop with myself, I couldn't believe it. Positive final effect though, no BB cream in the house tonight:D

    So ladies - just for my peace of mind, how do I get a No7 voucher???

    No Buying Toiletries in 2013

  • Well some Ins to report. I got TBS calming aloe moisturiser and that was it :rotfl:. Not really :o - I also got their calming aloe cleanser and Olive Oil foundation as well - trouble was it was 3 for 2 on all skincare and make up and it would have been rude not to :D. I do need foundation as mine is nearly all gone. Also got L'Oreal Touch Magique concealer to try as I've been using a Clinique one which is running out and I wanted to find a cheaper 1. Hope it's OK otherwise I'll have to get the Clinique one again.


    I use the L'Oreal concealer under my eyes and I think it does a good job. Almost as good as Clinique for half the price! I always go back to the L'Oreal one after trying something else and not liking it.

    Good to see you back sarah*a, I hope you feel a bit better soon.

    Whoops, just bought the LIB Editors Box, plus one luxary sample, will list as ins when they arrive.

    Its not been a good few weeks had to replace one side of the fence last week and we're getting a roof tile fixed today.

    Oh no, for some reason didn't get an email about this but accidentally added one to my basket after reading your post - EH serum is lovely and I didn't get a pot of the L'Occitane cream in my Dun Mail box - that's my excuse anyway!

    To other Amarya beauty box subscribers, as we seem to have different Jurlique samples can you post what you thought of them after you've tried them, would be nice to know what the different products are like.

    Mine hasn't arrived and no card from the postie either :( - hopefully it will come tomorrow.

    Have a UU to report:

    Liz Earle eyebright - WMBA - like this but at the moment my HG is floracil - about to start a 400ml bottle so won't be reporting an eye make up remover UU for a few months now!
  • Hello everyone :)

    Well I was doing so well this week with no IN's, then my assitant came to work and handed me about 10 body shop products. It would be rude of me not to accept, but now I have 10 items to GA and UU lol.

    no UU's this week for me. I got a lot of LH items for sure.

  • evening ladies,

    two more uu's today:

    Elvive full restore conditioner - WBA - this does a very good job and is frequently on some sort of offer, need to finish off a few other conditioners first before I repurchase though

    Imperial leather shower gel - can't remember the 'flavour' but wba - does the job. My shower gel stash is now under control so I'm removing this category from the inventory :j

    happy pampering, xo

    No7 vouchers are given out intermittently to everyone who spends over £5 usually the vouchers come up every couple of months, sometimes more frequently. Nothing ou can do I'm afraid apart from way for them to come up again :D

    I think the No 7 voucher is finsihed, but it won't be long till it's round again! ;)
    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
