    Hi All,

    Have had a lovely weekend away in Manchester for a friend's birthday and managed to avoid the shops!!! :D Although I do have a shopping trip planned on Friday as I've a day off work so may be ins then, there's slightly less danger zones in Chester than Manchester I think! So just a couple of UU and one IN to report from the weekend:

    May now take advantage of Ebay free listing to list some Dior lipglosses I won't use, have also masses of S&G but not sure its worth bothering as think the majority of the planet is sick of their stuff!! Have a friend who'd be happy with some bits so will probably GA to her. Also need to update my swaps list for the FB group

    Ems

    Wouldn't be too sure. Cheshire Oaks is down the road and The Colisseum shopping park.

    When is the free listing on Ebay again? I managed to sell an Elemis cosmetic bag this week as well. Yay me.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    I am doing well this month, 2 more UU's to report:
    EL Hydrationist moisturiser for dry skin, this was too rich for me and I so much prefer the formula it had a couple of years ago. Won't buy again.
    Dove spray deodorant, bought this several years ago, I now know that I don't like using spray, since I prefer using deo stick or rollon.I am now using Body shops deo stick which is fab.

    I have nearly run out of eye mask so will have to buy this in April.
    No toiletries challenge, started 18/1/2010 - Putting £1 in my savings jar for every item that I use up. Pot 1 to 4 = £261. Pot 5=£23
    Boots points:£39.21. Extra money in 2012:£674.59. In 2013 £603.48. 2014: £85. 2015: £0 :j
  • I was away on holiday last week, so have a few UUs:
    S&G Mini Scrub wmba it's the sugar scrub that's like marmite, you either love it or hate it. I like it but it clogs the shower and doesn't wash off very well
    Boots Extracts Mini Cocoa Body Butter wba, I didn't have high expectations but suprisingly really enjoyed using this.
    St Moriz Mousse Tan wba

    And a couple of INs:
    St Moriz Tan to replace my UU definitely my HG
    Arran Aromatics Mini Shampoo, it may have accidently fell into my bag when leaving the hotel!

    Talking of foundations, I'm currently using Bourjois 10 hour sleep effect in shade 73 but find the coverage too light. I'm thinking of buying a few on the Boots 3 for 2 to try out.
    Has anyone tried out the Rimmel Wake Me Up or Bourjois Healthy Mix?
    I only really like liquid foundations and a dewy finish :)

    1 IN and 1 UU tonight:

    IN No. 7 P&P Intense Beauty Serum 30ml tube - worked wonders on my recently irritated skin so was more than curious to try it for a longer period of time and was fairly MSE as I got it off Ebay at less than half price. I've got some Clinique Moisture Surge which I aim to UU first though as I've already starting using this and they seem really similar products to me.

    UU - my final Bath Bomb Co. bath melt out of the set my OH got me for Christmas - think this one was Rose Bath Melter - bit messy but must admit there was something more than a little decadent about getting into a hot bath full of rose petals - lovely and moisturising and subtly fragranced, not too overpowering as rose can sometimes be - I love these products and they are really reasonable too, WBA definitely

    That's a very good point VALM but I plan to get the train in rather than drive to avoid any extra temptation!

    Free listing weekends seem to be coming up every couple of weeks at the moment - must admit I didn't get around to listing anything last night as was just too tired so will be looking out for the next one
  • Hello ladies :)

    UU today:
    Cle de peau la creme sample - WNBA. Ok not only because the actual full size cost close to $1000 (not sure about £), but it was super rich (which I don't usually like) and it stung slightly, not sure why, but even if I had that kind of money, I don't think I would buy this.
