    Debt 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 sales
  • One uu: Burt's bees lip balm.WIBA? Only if it was on special offer as I didnt think it was anything special for all the fuss about the products.

    Two Amazon ins:
    20 x Montagne Jeuness face packs
    Waleda Calendula Body Cream - This should have been a pack of 6 but only received one but Amazon will refund my money and I can keep the cream so a freebie.

    if anyone wants to buy online from molton Brown and get a free 100ml shower gel(choice of 2) the code is GIFT18

    use by 5/5/13 post is £4.95 if you spend less than £49 or free above only snag is if you put any sale items in you cannot use the code!!!which seems stupid to me as would have bought more.(use tcb for 5% cashback)
    if anyone wants the email sending then pm me and you can use instore as I will not have chance to go to town before the end date.
    I am in two minds whether to use online or not esp after being bad already today,just annoyed about no sale stuff as will have to pay postage so cost £22.95 for two 100ml shower gels and a free 30 ml one

    I requested a sample of the new L'Oreal everriche sulphate free shampoo and received:
    A full sized shampoo, conditioner and hair mask
    apparently I had been 'selected' to receive a full sized product. Im not complaining as I like and normally use many of the 'ever' range anyway.
    But 3 ins to declare.

    Ebay outs - 18

    Have a few sales ending in the next few days will declare when goods are posted.

    Ooo nice! I didn't know you could contact companies for free samples, how did you get in touch?

    I'm currently alternating sulfate free shampoos. One of them leaves my hair a bit heavy, and the other leaves my scalp greasier than your average kebab. Still need to try adding salt to the mix, but I'm waiting to get a small bottle free to mix them in. I'd like to try more products, but I don't want to waste money on a product I wind up trying to use up at an accelerated rate (like I am with the current ones)!

    Opened a lovely BS Sweet Lemon body butter and started on the Avon Skin So Soft with Argan oil shower cream I was gifted in the post a little while ago.

    A!di now do a Moroccan Argan oil style hair treatment, £3.99.

    Morning!

    Just had a shower and have some more UUs....

    Clean & Clear Deep action cream wash 150ml
    - WNBA, only got it as it was on a glitch and it's not for my skin type either.
    Herbal Essences Ignite My Colour Intensive Mask 200ml - WBA but only if it was super-cheap as it was a bit too smelly for me
    Soap & Glory Clean On Me Body Wash 500ml - WBA, I lurve S&G!

    I've just opened a Neutrogena grapefruit face wash and I don't like it on my face, it's too fragrant, so I'll use the two bottles I have as shower gel. I find the smelly face washes quite literally get up my nose! :rotfl:

    Hi all.

    Have a couple of uu

    Avon Planet Spa hand cream - WNBA, I don't think I can as I bought this in clearance ages ago, it was a run of the mill hand cream but the scent was overpowering, it wasn't a bad smell just way too strong, I used the last bit as foot cream in the end.

    S&G iFoam shower gel - WNBA, again I think this is discontinued anyway, it was nice, lots of creamy bubbles and a nice scent, I don't think it did any special moisturising as they claim and also it was very runny so I seemed to use more than needed. If I want a creamy, orange scented shower gel I much prefer Nivea Happy Time.

    And - I think you must have a much better Aldi than our local one, I called at the weekend to get their cotton pads (which are fab by the way) and they had hardly anything in the beauty section.

    My 100 day challenge was going so well when I realised I had almost run out of top coat so I have ordered 2 Seche Vite at half price (ish), I have never tried this and am looking forward to it. I know that no one can ever say they NEED top coat but I am still carrying on with the rest of my 100 days and not calling it a fail, maybe i will aim for as many NSD as possible in that time.
