    13 - UU lush phoenix ballistic. Gorgeous. Would buy again!
    14 - UU lush seaweedy face mask. Lovely, but I don't tend to use facemasks.
    15 - UU a sample of royal ballet body lotion. Nothing special.
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    Some more to add...

    8) UU - Clinique Deep Comfort Body Butter. It was part of a set and I wouldn't buy it. It is no better than a decent 'drugstore' body lotion. I have dry skin so would probably get through a very expensive tub of this stuff every week.

    9-10) Two M&S shower gels. I have put these in my box for Give and Make Up. I would buy these again if on a budget, but they are very basic and I gave them away because I didn't particularly love the previous one I had. At £1 they are great if you are counting the pennies though.

    I have one small UU (unfortunately doesn't make up for today's ins)

    Balance Me moisture rich face cream 10ml WMBA Was nice but not as Moisturising as i expected.

    Decided to count the palettes as 8 items each. Going to concentrate on makeup this month and try and get a makeup UU before the end of the month. I had a look through my makeup stash to see if I could bin some older No.7 palettes, but couldn't face throwing them out. I'm afraid my purchases today were due to my main weaknesses, limited edition, pretty and sparkly. Oh dear.
  • got 6 ins ... from a friend so no naughty step!! my friend sent me the luxury bath box by bomb cosmetics.love this stuff so much. seriously the way its packaged it looks good enough to eat! going to try having a wee clearout of older eyeliners and lotions 2morrow :P

    I have been very very bad and will be on the naughty step for a very long time. I have bought BOTH Urban Decay Oz Palettes. I did use my Debenhams beauty club Card points so got both for £50 and got more points and its double points this month. I calculate that each palette is worth over £100, so have gotten over £200 worth for £50 so really good value. They are both build your own palette palettes, so the palettes can be reused once the shadows it comes with have been used. Now do I count these as 2 ins or 16 as each comes with 6 removable shadows an eyeliner and a lip gloss.


    These look gorgeous i had one in my shopping basket but was good and clicked off the page as I rarely wear eye shadow and still have UD naked 2. Doesnt stop me drooling though!
    No more buying toiletries
  • Have some more UU
    6. Daughters mouthwash WBA she seems to like the flavour.
    7. Mouthwash - WBA.
    8. Cotton Buds WBA

    I dont have many splutterers at the minute but am pleased to declare my soap and glory clean on me is almost finished. (this has been helped on its way by my DD)

    I also have a l'occitane free hand cream voucher which I can forward to anyone who can use it (I didnt read it properly and thought it was a postal offer and unfortunately I dont live near a shop)
    No more buying toiletries
  • UU:

    Elemis Soothing apricot toner wnba it had a lovely scent and was gentle on my skin, but it' s quite expensive for what I felt it was. A bit disappointed as I really wanted to get into Elemis but this product left me wanting more.

    I have an update...

    Primark 4 in 1 cleansing wipes UU - WBA because even though they're very cheap (£1 for 2 packs), they're very good, but I have lots of other wipes in my stash so no need to buy any for a while!

    Also I went through my Nails Inc stash and pared it down by the following 8 polishes, which are being removed to my ebay stash.

    Belgravia
    Black taxi
    Diet Coke Denim
    Diet Coke Heather
    Diet Coke Plum
    Kabaret
    Pimlico Road
    Mini Size Marylebone Lane

    I paint a sample of each one onto some paper and decide which ones I like/don't like and which ones are too similar to other ones I have.
