UU Mitchum deo powder fresh - WBA HG
UU Bamford moisturiser - lovely stuff!
UU Avon Mediterranean olive and orange blossom cloth cleanser - WNBA only a 75ml tube, overpriced for what it is. The superdrug vit E one is better as a cheaper option.
UU OS cherry and almond showergel - WMBA
UU TBS papaya soap - WNBA didn't really smell of much.
UU TBS seaweed mattifying moisturiser - WMBA
UU benefit Ooh La la lift WMBA as this was good.
Quite impressed with my progress this month and I have ignored the Ren offer!0 -
I've just cracked open the REN set and have tried out the night cream. It's smells lovely and I only needed a tiny bit so it looks like this small 25ml tube could last quite a while. So far so good.
UU the not so strong purple Listerine mouthwash. This is my HG mouthwash but I've just moved on to a bottlee of Aquafresh that I bought in Superdrug for buy 1 get 2 free and I really like it - it may take over the Listerine as my HG.
INs: 3 bottles of Clean and Clear - my HG quick face cleanser (3 for 2) and 2 Sure deodorants that were on offer. So all things that will be used.0 -

Maddiemay - this got me thinking...... We all spend so much 'time' together, but don't know each other at all. I hope you are pleased to know that I assumed you were in your late 20's/ early 30's !Scrappie

Thank you, I know I am "the granny" but we all have a common interest in this thread and our appearance, as well as many common values, support for one another, and sense of humour. Throughout my life I have been fortunate to have many friends much younger and much older than myself, and I might add it was the older ones I could not keep up with when drinking:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time.

UU:
Estee Lauder black eyeliner - WNBA, massive panda eyes!
Bobbi Brown intensive moisturiser- HG, will repurchase in new york
vera wang rock princess - WBA but have another bottle already in the stash :rotfl:
liz earle IBST - HG, only have a 50ml in the stash now and that is set aside for my holidays :j
mac fix+ - WNBA i think this does exactly the same thing as the Avene water spray, only that is half the price!
No7 top coat - WBA, expcially if i get it for £2 with the £5 off vouchers!
dr bronner shower gel - i think this may be a new HG. cheap as chips, lathers brilliantly for an SLS free shower gel i can choose a fragrance that i know is just no fragrance added at all or only essential oils added :T
illamasqua freak mini - WNBA, this was bit too strong for me.
now, budge over on the naughty step. VERY long story short tonight i ended up crashing a Bare Minerals event and buoyed by 2 glasses of champagne and a glass of free wine i'd already had at a work do beforehand, i ended up buying:
clear radiance (i love bright radiance but it is a limited edition:(, this was the closest they had)
The Afterparty Eyeshadow Palette (i know i don't need more but i couldn't resist it)
then i got a goody bag with:
3ml sample night serum
full size high shine eyeshadow (i know! more eyeshadows!)
1/2 size flawless definition mascara thats my HG and always welcome here.
and then i got a free cotton tote!0 -
Heya,
Not read the thread today as i've just got in. Just thought i'd inform you all that i've graduated. Unfortunately not on the toiletries front, just from my degree
I'm now the proud holder of a First Class Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in English and Cultural Studies.
Hope everyone is well0 -

Evilsquid - I haven't heard of Dr Bronner before. Given your recommendation and I am getting into buying less chemically products, I would be interested in trying it out. Where do you get it from and what is the cost?

Hi ladies. First of all Congratulations to Mingle on achieving your Degree. Well Done xx
Have been reading along for the last couple of days. Have not even looked at the Ren offer. I'm really happy with my skincare regime at the moment although I've noticed that I do need to be wary of how much Spackle I apply as my forehead has been getting a little oily again.
No UUs to report either. A few things spluttering but they are tenacious and keep hanging in there.
Do have a couple of beauty things lined up for the weekend though. am at hairdressers tonight for colour and cut and am at Trafford Centre on Sunday for my brows to be waxed and tinted at the Benefit Brow Bar in Boots. Am also considering whether to have a pedicure at the Ciate kiosk I saw there last time we visited.
Been a hectic week at work as my Case Manager was away for three days so am hoping today that I can catch up on my work rather than his. The weather is still shockingly awful isn't it? I got drenched last night when a bus went through a puddle and I was deluged. Was like the scene from Bridget Jones.
Happy Friday everyone. xBack 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!
