    The gift set looks lovely, the Debenhams sale was the reason I got my Benefit stuff early.

    I've had a terrible day for ins

    My GlossyBox - won't spoil anyones suprise but contents here is anyone is interested.

    My OPI TSV - five polishes and a diddy remover. Currently wearing From Me to Q and Pirouette My Whistle and it looks fab.

    An OPI Jubilee set - Two DS polishes (bold and magic) and a even diddy-er remover. Have wanted DS Magic for ages but at £16.75 it was a bit too expensive. This set was on BuyaPowa and i got it for £13.50.

    Four Herbal Essences Hair Maques - the round blue tubs. Stockpilling i know but i like it (and i use intensives everyday) and it was from poundland so would have been silly not to.

    I also bought a Vasaline Sheer Infusion bodylotion from the 99p store; and this is the only thing i'm peed off withself for getting. I don't include nail polish as thats my 'treat'; the hair conditioners were incrediable value and i've used them before and they are fantastic for my hair. But i have bloody hundreds of body lotions. I wash just wowed by the price as it sells for over a fiver in Boots (although they are out of stock of all flavours online so possibly its discontinued?)

    I'm also umming and arrhing about stocking up on a particular shampoo. Original Sourse TT and Mint shampoo is invaluable to me when i works nights (and for migraines) but it was discotinued over a year ago. I am coming to the end of my stashed bottles and i can't get it in shops anywhere . The only place that has it is eBay but the pice works out at least double the RRP was???

    No real outs - i've finshed about 6 samples sizes and sachets but i don't count them in my stash.

    Nearly dead on three of four bottles in the bathroom so will be stash shopping again soon.
    I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep someone else warm, someone cooler

    That is very helpful of him!

    I'm glad to hear that lots of other people have had their Benetints and High Beams open for ages as well :rotfl:

    Fiasco - almost 400 UUs??! That's amazing :beer: How long have you been doing the challenge? Have you got much more to UU?

    Amyb - I've just read your GlossyBox review. It was very interesting :) I have to say that I'm glad I didn't re-sub for the birthday box. (I almost did).

    I find it most difficult to resist bargain buys as well. (I succumbed to one today...) I don't know what would happen if I lived near a Poundland or T K Maxx! At least most of your buys were needed/much liked. I think the real danger is buying things just to try and then finding that you don't like them and have yet another thing to UU :o

    If the OS shampoo is a HG for you then I think it's worth buying. If you have other shampoo that you like/works well you could always buy a little bottle of peppermint essential oil and add some for a similar effect (you could also put it on a tissue when you have a migraine). You have to be a bit cautious with peppermint oil as it's very strong but I love it (and it's a cheap essential oil).
