The Superdrug offer is the better one if there's one convenient for you, mine is a drive away whereas there's a Boots just down the road - Boots is a third off both sizes whereas Superdrug is better than half price on the bigger bottles I think - hth!
I am really bad at maths emsjune so thanks for the post. As the weather is so miserable I have just nipped out to Boots and Wilkos this lunch time. Couldn't be bothered wandering that little bit further to Superdrug but will have to shortly as I am nearly out of deodorant as well.I went on holiday this weekend and brought 37 toileteries!damn it
Come on fess up. List those INs. Where did you go to?I don't want to be an enabler but Amazon's Black Friday have Nails Inc sets on today ...;)
Luckily I'm not a fan of Nails inc. 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!

I have managed to resist great offers of Liz Earle, Decleor, Gatineau and e-mails from Smashbox, Estee L and others, BUT an e-mail from A-England nail polish is proving soooooo hard, currently 3 in my basket. In my defence, nail polish excluded from challenge and have only 1 IN in 21 days (a sample size Benefit Dandelion).
Spent most of the day in bed suffering from horrid tummy bug, OH's turn to look after me, as he started it off:eek:The best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -

I love this self justification that we all do for new purchases, I think if you really want them that much and they're not dupes for polish you've already got then go for it! You can blame me as an enabler if you like! :rotfl: Plus if you've been poorly you deserve a treat for sure0 -
Hello all - am feeling really proud of myself - went to Bicester on Monday and I resisted L'Occ, Molton Brown and all the lovely goodies in The Cosmetics Store. About to go OT now (sorry) - I only bought a new black (Kipling) handbag which was on my list - it was a real bargain - black leather reduced from £210 to £84 and a second Kipling bag for an Xmas present - if you bought 2 bags you got a further 20% off so my new bag was a super bargain. This is the bag: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Kipling-Womens-Laurane-Shoulder-K17052717/dp/B0063RYCQC/ref=sr_1_30?s=shoes&ie=UTF8&qid=1353521762&sr=1-30
Have managed another 2 UUs:
L'Occ almond delicious soap (bought a bag of 10 a couple of years ago so am now making inroads into these). WBA as they smell delicious but still have *ahem* 9 left :eek: so not in a hurry to rush out and repeat purchase just yet!
Gatineau Floracil eye make up remover - this is my HG eye make up remover - am about to start a Garnier one from my lovely Pumpkin Patch buddy to try out a more MSE emur.
Hope you are all surviving the foul weather - a good excuse to stay in for a pamper in my opinion....0 -

Hi everyone.
It's been a very hectic week so far and my pampering has fallen by the wayside somewhat this week, hopefully I will get to make up for it at the weekend though!
1 UU to report : Aveeno skin relief moisturising lotion 10ml free sample. Was ok, a bit wary as I've reacted to Aveeno before. Was good but nothing brilliant, wnba.
3 INs to report, Specsavers contact lens solution x 3. I now have a backlog of 6 months of contact lenses and more than half a dozen bottles of solution!! Am hoping to get my reduced price glasses and then cancel the subscription until I've used up the backlog (Which should save best part of £100 in the meantime) and clear some of my stash!0
