2 INs and 2 OUTs to report:

IN Henata ballastic from Lush and Egg hunt soap. These smell gorgeous and I fear the bit of sunshine at the weekend made me slip and buy sunshiney products.

OUT Henata ballistic (I used it that night) and some toothpaste.

First UU of the month: no7 sumptuous bath soak I'm still on my using-up-bubble-bath mission so I've a few more other bubble baths to get through

Again I don't see the point in bubble bath too much so not sure about buying again (it was part of a set and expensive alone) but its the only bubble bath that has made a difference it makes the water feel soft an luxurious if that makes sense and you didn't have to use heaps of it to get a nice amount of bubbles

Morning all!

I'd just like to preface this list by saying I was thinking it was no good saying I'll use x bottles of something per month, because they're all different sizes so...I worked it all out.

Cleanser 758 ml
Conditioner 2920 ml

Congratulations!! A lot of my colleagues have had their ILEX exam results come through, there's been a lot of nail biting. How much more do you have left to do after July?

Also- I'm completely nicking that tea tree on the radiator thing :rotfl:

To be honest - the tea tree had no effect! couldn't smell any difference! Although that could have been down to the tea tree being so old...its a nice idea though!

Thanks for the congrats guys, I feel like I should be more pleased as it was such a tough exam, but I don't feel all that excited! Might have something to do with the next exam looming in July, after that I have another exam next January, then a dissertation the following September. It'll be done then (providing I don't have to retake the other exams). It's a long hard slog, especially when you have a small child, a full-time job and a hoarding problem!

HappyTorty - I'd be inclined to sell the S&G set whole and if you're that keen to try the body scrub, buy it separately with the money you make? My knowledge of body scrubs is that they tend to be much the same, so you may not even like it anyway. Or use the proceeds to buy the new pair of shoes - I know which I would prefer!

Oh my word Itzybitzy and Josellete- that's some list although I haven't managed to write all my products down so think it may be along similar numbers
I did end up buying some of the handcream that everyone is raving about on the POundland grabbit thread and I'm trying to avoid Home Bargains for the virgin Vie ranges.
No more OUTs, nothing is even spluttering, feels like it was ages since anything finished.
Hope everyone is enjoying the sunshine, at least its a bit warmer than last week

Hmmmm.... I was doing so well, but I bought my first INs of the year today. Think I did well to get to April.


I was in Boots and had decided to treat myself to a body scrub as I had none and the last one I had ran out at least 6 weeks ago. So I was at the counter with my Soap and Glory Sugar Crush ( I love the lime smell) when the sales assistant said they were on offer and if I spent €15 on S&G products I would get a free body butter. Seeing as the Sugar Scrub was €11.25 it seemed like a good idea to spend €3.75 more, but of course none of the products are €3.75, all the travel sizes are 3.50 but they are on 3 for 2, so I ended up getting three travel size S&G with my sugar scrub and then got my Body butter on top of that, all for €18 (£15). Not bad.



So INs:

S&G Sugar Crush Body Scrub 300ml
S&G Butter Yourself Body Cream 300ml (Free!)
S&G Clean on me Shower gel 75ml
S&G Scrub of your life 50ml
S&G Flake away


UU: Garnier deodorant 250ml WBA but have plenty in stash.

Thanks for starting us off this month kiplingmonkey!

I'm feeling totally disinterested in toiletries atm! I think the obsession has turned to healthy eating, and buying stuff like... granola A few UU:

1. Origins Plantscription Eye Treatment 5ml - I like this, and think I will buy this one full size when I finish the current Kiehls one I am using
2. L'Occitane Ultra Creamy Body Wash 75ml - WNBA, not too fond of the smell or consistency
3. Liz Earle Smoothing Line Serum 10ml - it took me AGES to finish this! WNBA, nothing special.

Can anyone recommend a face moisturiser with SPF, for skin on the dry side?
I'm going to run out of face moisturiser soon, hurrah! In the past I've used all sorts of ones, but think from now on I will only purchase ones with SPF in it.

I have spent a lovely afternoon playing old CD's and sorting through a few things.

UU's
Doctor Duve hand cream sample WNBA still have another sachet of this.
Yardley Peony perfume sample WNBA used in water/ air filter as have ran out of liquid to out in it. I have several other perfume samples that are going in it aswell, a great way to use perfumes samples that I will not use.
2 X No7 Intense volume waterproof mascara, WBA
1X No 7 extreme length waterproof mascara WBA
No 7 loose powder WBA, these last fo0rever.
Rimmel moonstone eye shadow WBA
Collection 2000 Frosting eye shadow WNBA too glittery
Santaverde aloe vera hydro repair gel (5ml sample) WBA I loved this product, it sank very quickly into my skin but I am not allowed to buy it as I have so much other serums to use, probably will last to Christmas without having to buy any serums.

TA
BS natrulift firming day cream, I have had this years and I have used about half but will never finish it. It does not look right so am happy to bin it.
Layla D honey moisturiser, really did not get on with this product, I hated the smell and so am sorry to waste products but I really won't finish it.

I will have to borrow the cushion as my stint on the naughty chair will come as I have bought 5 things but won't declare them till I receive them, in my defence they are not products I can get all the time, they are made by a small company and I love the fragrance.

I am doing well on ebay after spending 5/6 hour listing items at the weekend I have sold some items already and have some with bids on. I will declare these altogether once I have sold the rest. I might even put a few more items that I am never going to use If I get round to it.
