    10 Aapri face wash - WNBA too drying even on my oily skin we used this up washing hands.
    11. Aveda smooth infusion shampoo - WNBA seem to have to wash my hair more frequently and still leaves it quite frizzy - I prefer the everpure range.

    29 more outs sold on ebay

  • UU BS Sweet pea duo body butter. First try of one of these duos, not sure which side was which but preferred the more solid cream it rubbed in better.

    OMG I am so embarrassed, clicked through this link and decided that I didn't need it, then got a bit confused and write on that thread. I have only just checked the thread to see if i got a reply and realised that I'd posted it on the wrong thread, I am embarrassed.
    Anyway I was asking if the BS recycled the empty bottles as I have a UU of Shea butter shower cream. I liked it and found it moisturising but not the scent. I bought it through one of the many BS sales a few years ago. :)
    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.

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.


    omg totally want! but i have about 8 urban decay palettes and i dont use half them..saying that i do use urban decay most days hmmm might login to my shopscan account see how many debenhams vouchers i can order. i need you to tell me how rubbish it is or how the colours are like the colours in other palettes x

    emsjune - what a rotten sitaution, hope things get sorted quickly and to your satisfaction, xo

    uu M&S Pomegranate shower gel - I have definitely not enjoyed this, the scent reminds me of the horrible old pot pourri popular in the eighties, in the end I used the remainder as bubble bath just to get rid of it. On the plus side, it did bubble really well, wnba

    happy pampering, xo

    Had a TA - some glittery Lush soap. I was given this as a gift, but WNBA - I always try and like Lush stuff but I'm never that keen for some reason?

    But was very bad today and had an IN - Japonesque eye brush, £3 in Boots down from £12.75. Have wanted to try this line for ages and paid for it in points so it could be worse perhaps?

    Have managed to avoid buying all sorts today - the Selfridge box, the No7 mascara offer...gosh even avoided going into the pound shop so I wouldn't accidentally buy something I didn't need!

    Hope everyone's ok!

    Keep on resisting:)

    If you want to try just a very few items it is worth searching on *bay, people often sell the items they are not too fussed about, sometimes you can pick them up cheaply and save a lot of money. I often do this with nail polish TSV's, just note the names of the 1 or 2 that I really want and pick them off during the following months, it can be quite fun, unlike the realisation that you have spent ££'s on things that you don't need and when you see them irl, that you don't want. e.g. I really want to try Nails Inc Porchester Square, but as I own at least 4 (perhaps more) nude polishes I will not let myself buy it unless I can get it for a steal:money: Or if you sell on *bay is there anything you can sell to fund the LIB calendar box perhaps?

    Wish I hadn't googled Nails Inc Porchester. Mind you it looks a lot like OPI Don't Pretzel My Button which I own! x

    Has anyone here tried the Elemis Evening Blooms Dry Body Oil? Everyone online seems to be raving about the scent but I hate it, it smells like fly spray mixed with old lady perfume :eek:

    I have this and like it though I wasn't sure at first. It does remind me of the old honeysuckle kind of fragrances that were around in the 80's when I was a teen and when fragrances tended to be for older women so IKWYM
    Back 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!

    WOW gutted I missed this glitch!! I seem to get through tons of this stuff and it is rather pricy!

    Hopefully there will be another one, I don't appreciate paying £2.99 but TBH when I run out I'll have to hope it's at least on 3 for 2!

    emsjune78 - Sorry to hear you've had such a tough week (((hugs))) xx

    Ah thank you for clearing up the mystery, I must admit I did wonder when I saw your stash list why you had quite so many, I mean I know its a great product - at that price though it'd be rude not to and I've got to say I'd have definitely got more than 8 :rotfl:

    I only got 6 from that glitch, I wish I had got more now!
