    IN...

    Original Source Lime Shower Gel: £1 at Home Bargains and I have another to fill up a bottle that is very m-e-a-n at dispensing them so they will last longer (big bottle, tiny opening, lovely shower gel = long use up time = happy Pickle! :))

    Oh, and also Nivea factor 30 suncream, Malibu factor 50 face cream and lip balm (necessary in this weather). Totally justifiable INs and only £5.48 for all three!

    Oh, and I just realised how many samples I have! :eek: I've been saving them for journeys etc. but I would have to travel the work to use all these up...think I had better get using them!
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    One slightly unexpected IN - the 50 ml Mitchum roll ons are £1 in Wilko's ATM and they won't be when I want one, you can bet, so there we go.

    I gave away a SLS free conditioner the other week, and rather regretted it, so when Wilko's had the Timotei Pure conditioners for 49p down from £1.99 I got one.

    Three outs - UUs- to balance - a 75ml Avon heel cream first, WIBA? Yes, not a bad product, seemed very good at stopping my sandals from rubbing when I was cycling too.

    UU - 250 ml BS Sweet Lemon Body Butter - a gift. WIB? Hmm. I liked it, very lemony, but as with Lush, I feel that BS products are so Emperor's New Clothes. You convince yourself they must be something special, but they aren't really.

    Something that was special - a little 5ml mini spray of Cacharel Amor Amor EDP.
    WIBA? Love this fragrance, but want to use up all the minis that I have had for years, all carefully hidden from sunlight and heat! Still got quite a few to go!

    One TA: Wet and Wild eye lash mascara primer. Had it for ages and the colour has turned to a sludge brown when it should be white.

    Three ins:

    Boots nail polish remover
    2 x Boots double sided cotton wool pads

    UU to declare

    60ml TBS satsuma shower gel - WBA DD seems to use shower gel more economically when its in a smaller bottle.

    Sample size Colgate total interdental toothpaste - WBA left my mouth fresh
    No more buying toiletries

    UU a FCUK pure shower gel, it was in a 500ml pump bottle so lasted ages and got it reduced last year (I think). Think I paid £1.25 for it, got 3 as it was buy 2 get 1 free, so three huge bottles for £2.50 :p
    I have started a Home Bargain Philosphy inspired shower gel/shampoo - costs 89p for 500ml, think it's Raspberry Pavlova, I decanted it into the FCUK bottle and so far so good :D

    Isn't this weather great! :j

    No UUs or INs, however I have a lovely night away planned tomorrow (super excited :j) so have had fun "shopping" from my stash this evening for toiletries to take. Knew all those sachets would come in handy one day! So I'm expecting to report back with lots of UUs on Sunday evening!

    Decided my feet needed a little pampering ready for parading ariund in my flip flops in the hopefully lovely weather this weekend, so I'm painting my toenails Ciate Jelly Bean - an iridescent fuschia. Quite impressed given that this was a magazine freebie.

    Have a lovely weekend everyone :)

    Good morning ladies

    The sun is shining here in N Ireland:j
    I have a couple of uu's:

    Rituals Fujiyama shower gel, this comes out of the can like a gel and then foams into a lovely rich lather. It smells very refreshing and has a gorgeous light scent of mandarin, wdba

    Vo5 Revive me daily conditioner, did a decent job but nothing outstanding, probably won't buy again.

    Happy pampering, xo

    I've had a few ins I'm afraid.

    But I do want to rave about the Elizabeth Arden ceramide cream blush in Honey that I bought from Fragrance Direct for £5.50 (less 10% discount code).

    Its sooo nice, £25 on the Boots website :o

    Might get a backup or another shade.

    Have a uu

    Elemis Pro Radiance hand and nail cream - 20ml, I have several more minis and two full sizes so no need to buy at the moment but I do rather like this. I keep it on my desk and have replaced it with a mini Mandara Spa Tropical Blooms.
