    Yaaaaaaay! I'm glad people remember me. :D

    I have alot of INs to report from various wins.:eek: I won £100 worth of beauty products and £100 worth of Beautycard points from Superdrug.:eek: I also won some perfume goodies from Debenhams, so my INs are as follows:

    Wow, congrats! At least you can use the Superdrug points for baby stuff. :) Hope all is going well with the pregnancy!

    No UUs for me yet. :(

    Well done LadyMorticia :D
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Have ins today from my avon delivery of

    Herve Leger Femm EDP 50ml
    Far Away EDP 30ml
    Ruby slippers nail polish
    Purple glitter polish (forgotton name)

    this all cost £12 so quite pleased with that.

    Went into town today and called into Boots (left without spending - yay) did have a look at the Beauticology gifts and they are Bayliss and Harding as I thought. Based on their copies of Molton Brown not being very nice I don't think I will bother but would be interested to hear what they are like.

    Did get some Dead sea Magik bath salts for DH from H&B.

    Oh no Boots have sent me tempting points vouchers :o

    And there i was trying to avoid that shop in the run up to xmas. 1000 free points on £50 spend is rather tempting tho.

    Maybe i should enquire whether frontline for dogs which i earn points on will be an included product if not does any one know if their tights etc are any good i know the thin nude stuff seemed useless both pairs laddered in a day of wear so not very :money: i was hoping to not have to buy lots of toiletries if i could help it and i dont have very many xmas pressies to get.

  • evening ladies,

    welcome newbies :beer: and hello again to Lady M :hello: great to see you back with us again

    uu - Liz Earle Orangeblossom shower gel, thought this was nice enough but not so nice that I would pay full price for it so probably wnba

    I checked out the upcoming Liz Earle TSV and I think my money is safe this time so hoping not to have too many 'ins' this month

    happy pampering, xo

    Another UU this morning - Salon Chic So Smooth Straightening Mist - not convinced this is anything much more than water! Cheap but totally ineffective - WNBA.

    I said awhile back I was going to sort my hair products out as I know there's stuff there I just won't use as that type of product is too heavy for my hair - still not done this so will aim to do so this month as hair products are quite a big chunk of my stash now as they've just kind of accumulated and tend to be fairly slow to UU.

    Next up is REN Omega 3 Night Repair Serum - Used once and hated, persevered a second time and had to cleanse it off - smells repulsive, like an old deep fat fryer that needs its oil changing!! Yuk. Mind you, I don't know whether its just me but I've found quite a few REN products smell a bit funky - I don't know if its because they're maybe more natural? Anyway, I don't usually bin stuff but was going to with this as didn't think my Mum would appreciate it either and I usually gift her anything I won't use or don't like but have just googled the full size and its £34 for 50ml :eek: and this sample is 10ml so about £7 worth so can't bring myself to chuck it - car boot maybe?? Someone may love it! If anyone's a fan, please let me know and I'll happily post it for you.

    I'm not really fond of facial oils full stop, I just don't like the texture on my face, that said I much prefer the Kiehl's Midnight Recovery to this (although that's even more expensive) but I've mislaid that at the moment, possibly in Crete :o

    My 1st UU of the month, REN eye gel. WNBA it is really runny and doesn't seem to do anything. I have another in the stash but definitely wouldn't buy after that. Much nicer, cheaper things out there.
