moromir - you can do the same deal with the cloths (flannel type) on salonskincare I think.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

There a few places offering the Elemis GWP - they seem to have got wise and taken the freshskin range off but its still works with some of the cheaper things.

1l Disney princess bath & shower gel - was gloopy and smelled of saspirella even my daughter disliked this so we made a pact to use it up together and its thankfully gone. Its safe to say WNBA.No more buying toiletries0 -
UU: Montagne Jeunesse Dead Sea Mud Pac. WNBA because my face is now all itchy and it was quite fragranced. It was so satisfying when it cracked though!
I much rather use plain mud masks like the Mudd ones.0 -
I tried Nanoblur, but couldn't really see any difference on me.
I have not found any offers for Hydraluron, but will keep an eye open for Boots 3 for 2 in the future. I am about half way through my second tube of Hydraluron since October 2012, I only need to use a teensy amount (too much and it feels sticky). The Eyesilix gets super reviews and I will try it when I have used my stash of eye products:o
Yes, I do a separate SPF, as when I needed to switch from standard moisturisers to specific anti-ageing I found they did not contain SPF, as the anti-ageing properties are not supposed to work properly with SPF in the same formula, I found it a pain at first, but don't notice now. I use a BB cream with Factor 30 if I am just pottering around, and Clinique City Block 40 if I am dog walking, gardening, spectator sports etc. On good days I can get away with just concealer and eye make up, if trying a bit harder:rotfl:I use Smashbox mineral powder foundation. I am lazy about neck cream, but need to include this now, I will be 64 soon and have been lucky to get away with it for so long!
That's a good routine you have going there maddiemay!I think I should probably take heed and use a separate SPF too...
How is Mr MM doing/coping?
A small UU to report:
Sanctuary Spa Body Butter 100ml - the one with the orange lid, nice enough but probably WNBA as it is so whipped/light that I got through it in a couple of uses. I prefer a thicker one, so I don't dry out & wither away :rotfl:
I'm now just down to my holy grail body butter (body shop cocoa butter) and some laura mercier mini's that I use sparingly when going out... ie. I've finally graduated in the body moisturiser department! Yayyy! :T0 -
Two UUs for me to report today!
Amor Amor Perfume 30ml - My favourite perfume ever, already been replaced with a 50ml.
MUA Power Pout in Broken Hearted - This isn't really a UU more of a TA. Only bought this recently but it had an accident, fell off a kitchen work surface, the product fell in to the lid and it was to stuck and the product was too soft to rescue.Oh well, cuts the lip product stash down a bit! WBA - only when I've made a big dent in my current lip products!
September Grocery Challenge £0/£2250 -
UU- daddy 'o shampoo by lush ... WBA and have some in my stash using it once a week.
UU Pantene intensive conditioner tub-WBA have another in my stash
Ta- nail polish by nails inc- from glamour mag & don't like colour.
Ta some old make up,.old blusher from body shop ( wrong colour) black eye liner which was gwp but doesn't suit me, played with it for a bit them binned.
In's- ysl foundation touch! !clat, clinique one & dior B&b cream gives me a chance to decide what I like to buy in duty free..0 -
A couple more UUs from my gym bag:
No 7 Blissful Body Wash 40ml - WMBA, like the scent but IIRC it's quite pricey for a Boots own brand shower gel
Biotherm Anti-Drying Body Milk 30ml - WNBA, not even sure if they still make this as it was a real relic from the stash! Gorgeous scent but bit too runny for my liking, I prefer body butters
Lots more minis in the stash to replace both of these!MFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
UU's
BS coconut body butter WBA when I have used everything up.
Taaj hand cream WNBA was not a great fan, very easily absorbed but I need a more heavy duty handcream
IN's
Toni and guy volume pumping whip (full size) another freebie, this one was from a promotion on facebook I think.0 -

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...
Heads straight over to Debenhams website without further ado!0
