Evening all
Just been catching up on last months thread and this months.
Welcome to all the newbies
and good luck to Ruby for the interview tomorrow.
I have a fair few INS as I got some things for my birthday, plus spent birthday money on some items :eek: will list them tomorrow as I haven't got round to sorting things out yet.
1 UU:
28: Wella Enrich Shampoo 250ml, WMBA - bought with points as part of a set at hairdressers a long time ago! Was ok but I don't think I would ever pay for it, great as a freebie though. Am on to another Wella Shampoo now which was also bought with points a fair time ago.
List of INS to follow :eek:0 -
Good Luck Ruby
From the weekend...
UU Lush cinders balistic
UU- Sure compact cotton dry
UU- Wilkos Skin Wisdom moisturiser
IN sure compact aloe veraDebt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
Best of luck tomorrow Ruby.
Todays UU.
3. Lush Brazen Honey face mask WMBA I am enjoying Lush face packs but would like to try out a few more before deciding on my favourite.
4. Lush Comforter bubble bar WMBA I like this but DD prefers the bombs and we still share a bath.
And the most shocking news I managed not to buy anything today on the toiletries front.No more buying toiletries0 -
Brazen honey is really nice
Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup0 -
Good luck with the interview Ruby! Have 2 UUs to report - a nivea face wash sample. WBA, as it's really creamy. I really like Nivea stuff and think they tend to be worth the money.
and a neutrogena deep clean face wash sample. WMBA. I used this in my teens and I think it may be a bit harsh for a daily wash for me now?
I've also had some INs! My HG hair dye was £4 instead of £7 so I bought 4 boxes. That's only 2 applications, and I'd run out anyway so I don't think it was too bad of me
It does have two sachets of conditioner in each so I think I'm going to have to count it as 12 INs though...
I'm still continuing with my inventory and it's actually shocking me, it's making me feel a bit sick really... The sheer amount of face cream I have is ridiculous! I read some of my list to my boyfriend and you should have seen his face! 'How much hand cream!?'

Ooh forgot, another GA - Thierry Mugler Star perfume to my mum. Had just a little left, but I have too much perfume, and my mum keeps complaining that she has none. That's complete lies, she has nearly as much as me, something tells me I know where I get my toiletry stashing from...
