    Afternoon all

    Just popped in to report my 7 Elemis INs - 2 packs of Freshskin facial wipes and the 5 GWP items. I have lots of facial bits to UU but think I might be a bit naughty and try some of these first!

    Small UU

    Sample sachet Elemis flash balm - I liked this - I used it as a primer after moisturiser (I think you can use it for a few different things) make up applied smoothly and it appeared to leave my skin brighter and fresher.
    No more buying toiletries

    Where did you get your Elemis from? It sounds like a very good deal.

    I have ins from my Avon delivery

    Seduce me Stawberry nail polish
    Grape Goddess nail polish
    Crystal Calm nail polish - not sure about this one so it may be going back.

    Hydrate and grow nail and cuticle treatment
    Cuticle conditioner
    Matte suncream for face SPF 30

    Hi got a few more Uu to report
    1, pro colour plus hair dye- WBA cheap and does the job
    2/3 John Friedan straight ahead shampoo and cond - would buy if cheap but don't think is special
    4. Dove body wash .got free after double the difference promo 2 years ago. Prob wnba as uniliver not that great a company. But will see as it does the job and I think a lot of these more environment friendly company's have rubbish products or they are too expensive
    5. Oral b complete toothpaste wnba . My teeth didn't feel clean after this and I think they weren't looking as white
    Not sure what else will finish this month but still expecting 2 latest in beauty boxes
    £365 a year spend challenge - this has included food/clothes/beauty?? who knows where I am

    Have been AWOL for a bit but am catching up on the thread, a few UUs for be for far this month:

    E45 bath foam for the kiddies, they liked it and it was nice and non drying will get more once the other ones are gone.
    Tigi S factor conditioner - still have the shampoo to UU but love the smell and think it was pretty good for my hair, only dislike is the stupid shaped bottles! Will buy again if on offer but wont go out of my way to get.
    And a small tube of L'occi shea handcream, still have loads to get through but it's nice so not complaining!

    Have a few ins though
    Clarins beauty flash balm, never tried it and it's only a mini size freebie
    4 murad items, really looking forward to trying the masks

    I'm also really wanting to get a new REN glyco mask as mine ran out ages ago and everything else I've tried doesnt compare but will try the Murad ones and retry some others in the stash and if I can make it to the end of the month with more outs then Ins then I shall just cave in and treat myself to a new one!

    Hope everyone had a nice bank hols, it always goes far too quick but the weather was nice at least! Roll on the weekend! x

    Had a UU this morning; Molton Brown Relaxing yuan zhi shower gel 100ml.

    WBA if I didn't have so many shower gels in stash. I didn't like the smell at first because it was too floral but it grew on me and I really liked it by the end :)

    Hiya dolly84 and moromir

    I though so too, helped me justify the INs! Not wanting to lead anyone on this thread astray though... ;)

    They were from Debenhams - someone posted about the offer being on hq hair over on the Grabbit thread so I checked out Debenhams as I know lots of these offers apply elsewhere too. Had to buy 2 items to qualify, the wipes were cheapest (and for me are fairly necessary, unlike most other items I could have bought). Free delivery, so £12 delivered for all that.

    I'm feeling pretty pleased, was half expecting them to cancel as I know that the offer didn't apply with the wipes elsewhere (hqhair pulled them apparently).

    Not sure if the offer's still on, but I only placed the order on Friday so I expect so...
