Hello everyone

I am definitely in again for May!!

I haven't caught up with the thread yet but I don't think anyone has posted about the Glamour Beauty giveaway month? There is a different product every day in May, today its a Clarins lipbalm. You just have to answer a question on the website (and they keep the question the same all month for easiness!)

Last year I won 4 things and I didn't even enter every day (I did wonder whether I should post this or not because I don't really want all you ladies entering and getting the prizes and not me )

I don't know how to post a link but if you go to the Glamour magazine website and onto the Competitions page it shouldn't be too hard to find!!

Good luck

I just had a look at this and typically there are three things I would like to try and win towards the end of the month but am on holiday. Well, I suppose that can only be a good thing

just remembered I had an email from Clarins about five days of great offers online:).........that was 7 days ago:(:(:(:(:(:(

Oh, that reminds me of my INs from the offer; cleanser & toner were necessary, as only have the toner in use and none in stash, and it was cheaper to buy the set then buy the toner now & cleanser later:
Alpine Herbs Cleansing Milk 200ml
Camomile Toner Lotion 200ml
Eye Makeup Remover 30ml

Samples free with purchase:
Beauty Flash Balm 5 ml
HydraQuench Cream-Mask 5 ml
Eau Dynamisante
Blue Orchid Face Treatment Oil 2 ml
Daily Energizer Cream 5 ml

I'm skipping the naughty step, because I don't have any treatment oils in my stash :rotfl:

I'm glad I'm not the only one starting May with INs :rotfl:

Looks like May is getting off to a good start already. Finished a shaving gel on Sunday and the shampoo and shower gel are on their last legs and probably won't last the week and my cleanser only has about 1cm left in the bottom so hoping that could be finished off pretty soon too.

Must not forget to list my ins and outs tonight. I've got 5 ins from my Lux Box (plus one other item I'm not counting as won't use need to find someone to pass this on to). Plus the Garnier Freebie and a couple of items from Palmers Cocoa Butter.

On the more positive side I have one UU and a give away. I have actually been sensible for once, DH was running low on shampoo so instead of buying more I have given him one of my already open bottles from my stash. It finally dawned on me that there was no point in buying him more stuff, when I already have things in the stash.

Unfortunately its only Day 2 and the ins majorly out weigh the outs.

UU

Garnier Body 7 Day Intensive Body Lotion, 6ml

Lovely stuff and would consider buying again does what it says on the tin and smells really nice

In red is in use, so I have a total of 249 but a couple are splutters.

**tracey**

I have a few uu's already

Damana olive oil soap - wnba as I wasn't keen on the fragrance but don't think I could get it anyway as it was a hotel freebie and they don't appear to sell to the public.

Heavenly Gingerlily shower gel - wnba, I do like molton brown shower gels but the smell of this one is just too strong for me plus it is too expensive in my opinion.

Efasit foot cream - wba, it is a nice foot cream but I have other ones to try in my stash.

apparently the cheapest brand is in superdrug and is £7.99.

For a few pounds more you can get cold pressed argan oil online that will go much further and is pure and unrefined.

I bought some Ojon in the b1g2f offer yesterday. They'll be INs when they show up.
My Bobbi Brown shimmer brick has shattered, well, all the different strips have broke up and are rattling round the case. I'm really annoyed as I've only had it a couple of months, never dropped it and don't smash my bag around. I think I'm going to get a new one in pink quartz?

My UU goals for this month are:
Burt's Bees colour saver shampoo
Aussie 3 min miracle
Awapuhi serum
Caudalie hand cream
Rituals shower foam
Clarisonic cleanser splutters
Use just one lip balm and finish it!

can you not rescue it or grind up up really finely into a loose powder blush? would prob give the same result anyway as it all gets blended into one shade when its used anyway.
