    I am having a bad month with ins although some of them have been from magazines.

    UU's
    SK-11, face cream - wnba, it was ok but nothing special.
    Ojon intensive conditioner - wnba, hated this product. It was way too fiddly and I did not like the smell at all.

    In's
    Just bought some things from Ren, it really was too good an offer to miss out on.
    Ren set from magazine.
    All 4 balance me items from magazine.
    Frizz ease shampoo and conditioner in an attempt to calm my hair into a lovely silken sheath (a girl can dream :j)

    Oh boy, I am glad I didn't buy this expensive cream then. I was really tempted to splurge on it.

    ValM. I have been wanting Leading Lilac for ages, just ordered it with another Supermodel tonight from Q** (nail polish excluded from no buying. Lovely sunny day here, a tasty but easy supper and now watching Wallander:j

    Well done to all those with UU's, I (at last) have a few bits to report, will catch up tomorrow.

    Hope you enjoy your Leading Lilac when it arrives maddiemay. I know you've been lemming it for ages. For me, it's a great colour when it's become wet and it's lovely and glossy but when it's not it's quite dull. I seriously love Supermodel though. It's my favourite LD colour that I own followed by I Love Juicy.

    Have changed my nail colours again (last night) and am wearing OPI Animalistic on my toes and Manicurist of Seville on my fingers.

    Congrats from me to all those with plenty of UUs. I seem to have hit a stalemate with mine.
    me too :o i couldn't argue with that amount of stuff for that price. i think it was mostly down to the fact that my weight loss seems to have ground to a halt and I'm feeling seriously rubbish because of it.

    Aw keep up with the weight loss plan though evilsquid, you've come so far. I've hit a bit of a plateau as well caused by TOM. Come on, get back on track. It's nice that you treated yourself though.

    Completely OT, but the town I moved away from in October is where the car has been found in the mud slip off the tunnel through the hillside (Beamnster). Looks like one of those awful chance in a million situations.

    That was a horrendous accident.
    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!

    Hi ladies

    I've been MIA as am in the final stages of buying a house, a very busy and stressful time. I'll catch up from where I left the thread soon (I hope).

    Good luck with your house move marie2. The process is very stressful isn't it?

    My REN order just came. my mum is so jealous and is going mad asking why i didn't tell her about this :rotfl:

    IN:
    2 Muslin cloths
    Mayblossom T-Zone Control Cleansing Gel (25ml)
    Jojoba Microbead Purifying Facial Polish (25ml)
    Omega 3 Overnight Repair Serum (10ml)
    Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask (15ml)
    Frankincense Revitalising Night Cream (15ml)
    Active 7 Radiant Eye Gel (3ml)

    freebies:
    Frankincense Revitalising Night Cream (5ml)
    Glycol Lactic Radiance Renewal Mask (5ml)
    Hydra-Calm Global Protection Day Cream (5ml)
    Invisible Pores Detox Mask (5ml)

    hasn't done my stash the least bit of good but it does mean I've now got much much more product for my money than i would have done if i bought as and when. plus I've always wanted to properly try REN out and this is the maximum amount of try for the least money i'll prob ever do it for! I'm almost tempted to work out just how much product I've had for this £5.40 and the £3.90 for Red.

    Edit: i worked it out, this haul plus the red set is worth £68.05! :eek::T:money:

    got my Ren stuff and am pleased with the freebies:)not sure what to use the clothes with tho,only got so spent over £20 and free post (plus 10% off) also got a gentle refiner type thing(forgot name and too lazy to go and look:rotfl:) but it did not say to use a cloth with it tho don't see why not(I do already have about 3/4 of the LE ones in the stash.

    also in today a Boots no 7 blush £10 was a bit put out to then get a coupon saying if I spend £10 on no 7 I get 200 points:mad:don't know if I'd have got that just by buying my other item....blades for DH.
    I went late night shopping as DH out again on business,was good fun,had a free icecream with a coupon too and bought a pair of shoes,a pair of trousers(size 12 instead of 14:))two tops,a cardi and a handbag and still had change from £100:):):):)
