    Okay, so I've made this official start on my 'no buying unecessary toilettries in 2012'.
    I know it's April, and half way through this thread, but who cares? :p

    UU number one


    ABBOTT & BROOME – STRESS THERAPY BATH SOAK – 750ML

    WNBA it's not really scented enough to release some stress (for me anyways)

    Hi, guys just a quick question...
    I'm getting to the end of my foundation and was wondering if you had any ideas what foundation to buy for fair skin. I like alot of coverage and nothing that is too runny or watery or foamy lol?
    Oh and nothing over £13 as that's my foundation budget :)

  • Which lip balm did you go for? I got the cocoa flower one with the TSV. Its gorgeous!


    I got the cocoa flower one as well, it was definitely my favourite in store. I had a quick try of mine at the weekend and it seemed really rich with all the shea butter. I have a Lush one on the go that I should finish first before I start using my new one!

    Have you tried Maybelline Dream Mousse, I bought it on a whim and although I usually where Chanel, I do quite like it! Very MSE :D
  • UU S & G No Clogs Allowed Face Mask WNBA It says it leaves you blue in the face and it really did! It has little bits in it that after washing off which was a mission in itself, that had stained my face blue so had to use a muslin and face wash to get it off! I dont think it did much unclogging either. I didnt even get the last out of the tube as it just wasnt worth the hassle.

    UU Estee Lauder Idealist sample - got a few more sachets to use, I do love it but not the price.

    Does anyone know of a 2 in 1 SLS free shampoo and conditioner? I thought I would look to get some to take on holiday but it appears to be like golddust. The only one I can find is Halo and Horns kids shampoo. If anyone has come across one I would love to know x

    Good choice ;) I got the TSV on repeat (cant remember the technical term lol) and am looking forward to the others :D

    Well, I was thinking about treating myself to the L'Occitane Almond Oil, seeing as its on special. I'd forgotten about my interest on my savings accounts and I got a nice wee bonus there. However, my car is in for its MOT today and its going to cost me £150 *sigh* so I really should use my interest for that. Boo!

    Hi all!

    Birthday INs: :j
    TBS Strawberry soap
    TBS cherry shower gel 50ml
    TBS cherry body scrub 50ml
    TBS cherry body lotion 50ml
    Lush space girl ballistic x2
    OS cherry and almond shower gel
    Bath roses
    Avon bubble bath 200ml
    :D:D

    UU from my birthday weekend in Aviemore :D
    Radox shower smoothie (blackcurrant and cranberry) 50ml- WIBA? Yes, I think I would, smelled delicious!
    Boots tea tree and witch hazel mask 10ml WIBA? Possibly, I have the TBS tea tree mask to try first.

    Sachets:
    Visibly clear pink grapefruit facial wash 4ml WIBA? Hard to tell from such a small sample, but did smell good, possibly if I see a good offer.
    TBS chocomania body butter 8ml WIBA? I have a range of chocomania in my stash to use first!
    Loreal elvive full restore replenishing shampoo 10ml WIBA? No.
    Herbal essences smooth and soft shampoo 10ml
    Herbal essences smooth and soft conditioner 10ml WIBA? This is a good shampoo/conditioner, just wish it wasn't P&G.

    I don't think I ever declared the chocomania sample, naughty! so won't add it to my total :)

    I also have more splutterers :j

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend/Monday. :)

    Hi,

    Have you tried L'Oreal Matte Morphose? Its a mousse and gives great coverage but feels really light on - I hate liquid foundation that feels wet and heavy on your skin and this is not at all like that. Its around a tenner and you only need a bit so it lasts quite a while even though its a small pot - I use mine pretty much every day and get a good couple of months out of it. Hope that helps! :)
