Sadly I was at the B00ts sale yesterday. Ohh the shame. I will also have to kill you all if I admit to what I bought.

I bet you didn't buy as much as me. An advert just came on while I was typing this and the guy said 'how can one person have so much stuff?' Quite creepy!:eek:

SuiDreams

One more UU
Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream 10ml - WBA have just taken the last one out of the stash unfortunately have loads of other eye creams to UU before I can buy anymore.

And the outs today

86 Hello Kitty handwash WMBA depends on which cartoon character is on offer next time my daughter is shopping with me.
87. Lush bath bomb - this was lovely in the shape of a present it turned the bathwater an amazing blue.
88. Another ebay sale

My daughter remains poorly so have had most of the week at home to receive my parcels rather than the Saturday morning run to the sorting office. Unfortunately its doing nothing for my totals.

And now the ins ... Oh Dear.

47. Mama Mio eye cream
48. Mama Mio cleanser
49 mama Mio day and night cream

These were a freebie.

50/51/52/53 Birchbox

54-63 Another round of secret testing for Beauty Bible - looking forward to testing these there are some nice products in the mix.

Im so glad to stumble on this site today. I was beginning to think I had an obsession with buying toiletries and make up and I was a bit strange. I have vowed to not buy anymore lotions and potions till at least April :eek: to try and thin down my stash of goodies. I managed to stay away from boots but struggled with the 70% body shop sale. All help and ideas gratefully received x

Welcome, well done for Boots. With the BS you quickly realsie they have offers on all the time so just try and stay strong.
However that's easy for me to say, I went to Boots yetserday, spend £20 but got back over £3 worth of points and paid with a Love 2 Shop voucher from Topcashback so effectively free :T

I have 2 UU today L'Occitane Verbena shampoo and a conditioner. I love the smell of these but as shampoos and conditioners they are nothing special. WNBA but have a load in the stash anyway!

Does anyone know of any websites where you can review products or get free trials of products? Sorry if I have posted this in the wrong place but thought getting some free products may help me with this challenge!!

The ladies at facebook group battle of the boxes regularly post links to free stuff like the mama mio trial.

Magic Freebies also has links to free stuff just beware as some of them arent real freebies just competitions and tend to get your mail box filled with SPAM.

Ok, I still haven't added my boots haul to my official 'stuff' lists but I did make a start on the makeup lists

56 nail polishes and 72 lip salves/sticks/glosses! (I prob have some more of each of these scattered around also)

No use ups but I did have a candy mountain bath this morning and used more than I normally would. Think I have one more bath worth left

Oh dear. Did you resist still in the end? Nails Inc is a brand that I really don't rate so I didn't even bother to watch any of the demos.

I did it VALM - I resisted! Bought nothing from the Q at all that day!

Also, have not been interested in the Boots, Lush, L'Occitaine sales.....strange things goin on here in Yorkshire. Think I might need a little lie down
