    Morning everyone, sun shining here, but rather windy.

    I put the LIB box into "my basket" and then took it out again, it looks brilliant, but I still have quite a few nice sample sizes of Balance Me, Emma Hardie, Clarins and Lancome to try, so decided to give it a miss this time.

    VALM
    Must look for the Boots newsletter, I know it came, hope I have not thrown it away:eek: I love Revlon Stormy too.
    I love the Elemis Tri Enzyme cleanser, but I use it as a second cleanse two or 3 times a week and that works really well for me. Hope you get to Cheshire Oaks, this is the only shopping centre that my OH has said that he likes!

    Called at Original Factory Shop yesterday, little treat was Revlon Fuchsia Fever, will try it on toes later.

    Nails today are Ciate Bonbon (mag freebie), love it I am really into these muddy sort of colours, with MF Fantasy Fire on Ring Fingers.

    Just noticed, seem to have overworked the word love this morning:rotfl:

    I've ordered the LIB box, my first ever beauty box! It's got some things I'd love to try. A Liz Earle C+P may have jumped into the basket too. :o

    I've been good with UUs this month! I haven't had any unnecessary INs until now, just a few holiday purchases which were needed and will be used when I go on holiday. :) UUs/OUTs this month so far:

    1) John Frieda thinkening shampoo: WBA, this is my HG.

    2) Benefit moisture prep toning lotion sample: this was a freebie from Debenhams, WNB full size as it didn't do anything and it's £23.50!!

    3) No7 Beautiful Skin day cream for dry/very dry: I used to like their "Advanced Hydration" day cream but this doesn't seem to be as moisturising. WNBA.

    4) Body Shop lip butter pink grapefruit: this was a TA. It smelt amazing but I think it dried out my lips more than it moisturised!

    5) Body Shop mango body butter: WBA, love this. I have another one in the stash and 3 other scents too. I'm currently on the papaya one.

    I haven't bought any make-up all month! :T

    As predicted the open lip balms weren't doing anything for my lips as they are now covered in flaky dry skin. I think its only been a week since I uu my good one as well. Anyway went in the stash and got a Cherry ChapStick out, hoping this will sort it out (they feel better already). I will try and use the others as well to try and use them up.


    Does this mean we all get to kiss you now so we can like it and the taste?? ;)

    If you wanted a second one could you create another account under a different email address to buy a 2nd one?
  • I avoided the new LIB box as i have too many samples as is.

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    UU TBS vitamin C microdermabrasion scrub WMBA but I wasn't wowed. I like the boots time delay one better as it really does make a difference. I seem to have had a run on body shop stuff finishing, which is good as I am a bit fed up of it.

    I was tempted by the LIB box but am resisting. I was also looking forward to seeing the Gatineau tsv but am not quite at the advanced anti ageing stage yet so that is a bit more money saved.

    Hello, its me again. You have persuaded me to join in this month, my stash list is pasted below. As you will see my weakness is facial skincare and sample sizes. I find it really hard to use up sample sizes because I like looking at them. Sad, I know. I will commit to putting £1 in a box everytime I use up a product and 20p for sachets. I am also going to be bold and say I will put £10 in for every week I resist buying toiletries...
