    Hope everyone's having a lovely weekend.

    INs: white glo toothpaste 24g and D&G Desire 1.5ml / both freebies

    UUs:

    rosemary & green tea shampoo 30ml - hotel freebie and hated it, think it had maybe gone off and also don't feel it really did the job! I had another 5 shampoos and conditioners and have TA

    Sanctuary body scrub 200ml - like this, nice and scrubby and WBA

    Ojon damage reverse shampoo 250ml - WMBA, pricey but hair does feel very soft after use and much easier to detangle

    Hi ladies!

    2 UUs I've not the the time to post in the last week or so:

    Sanctuary Hand Cream: I LOVE this - nice and thick and smells gorgeous. It's just a pity there's no SPF. I checked the Boots website and they do sell one with SPF in it, but it's a whopping £9.50! :eek: This is about £6 a tube, which is more than I could afford on a day-to-day basis so maybe when it's on 3 for 2 or similar I will treat myself.

    Possibilities Raspberry Pavlova shower gel: This was dirt cheap and looked like a Philosophy rip-off. It was bright pink and very scented. I probably would have loved it as a teenager! For the grand total of £1.00 (or 89p in the next bargain shop - I spent 11p more than necessary! :rotfl:) I can't complain...

    VO5 Heat Protect Styling Spray 200ml: OK, but nothing special.

    Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste:HG. WBA.

    UU

    Boots cotton wool pads - WBA and will need to again soon as im on my last pack.

    Elemis tri enzyme resurfacing mask - WBA I loved this I like masks that feel like they do something and this has made my skin feel soft and look radiant.

    Ins

    Ginvera exfoliating marvel gel - I got a sample of this in a beauty box a while ago and really liked it.

    and now for the various sites with the Elemis GWP offer - Shuffle up on the naughty step sam.4000

    2 x elemis wipes + 5 freebies
    1 x wipes + facepack + 5 freebies
    2 x facewash + 5 freebies
    2 x facewash + 5 freebies

    on a positive note some of the facewash are for DH.

    and 3 freebies from a magazine subscription gift

    DHC platinum silver toner, serum & moisturiser

    I cancelled my Amarya personalised box subscription - I decided for £27.50 I would rather have something that I actually wanted.

    When I started this thread I had a love affair with beauty boxes, but although I still like them I feel the bubble has finally bursting. Still have some to shed but its a start.
    No more buying toiletries
