    Afternoon all!

    I'm sorry but I couldn't resist the Philosophy sale plus 10% Quidco :o

    I absolutely love their shampoo/shower gel/bubble baths, I often run out of shampoo before shower stuff but I can't get away with using shower gel on my hair :cool:

    There will be a few *ahem* INs on that score soon, but it will fall in next month so all is still ok for June :D

    Hope everyone's ok? xxx

    Small UU to report:
    Jimmy Choo perfume sample WMBA, I quite liked the scent... have two more samples in the stash plus loads more perfume to use up first though!

    Think that will be my last UU for June, although my deodorant is close to finishing.

    Just about to paint my nails :)

    UU

    Lilac Thyme, Rose Bath Soak, 150g - WBA, lovely and relaxing with the rose petals :)
    Hoof Feet Foot Scrub, 28.35g - WNBA, no need for a separate foot scrub and this one was not very scrubby anyway!

    This has been a dismal month for me on the UU front. I finally have my 2nd UU up - Balance Me Moisturiser which was a GWP from a mag last year. WBA really liked this and my oily skin benefited from it too.

    Nothing else is even close to a splutterer.

  • UU

    Sample size Clarins brightening toner - WBA but have a full size to use next.

    Sample sachet H&S eucalyptus conditioner - WNBA Eucalyptus gave my scalp a strange cool sensation. I actually checked the pack to see if it contained sulphates as its the same feeling I get prior to the itching starting when I use sulphate shampoos.
    No more buying toiletries

    Final use ups of the month
    Vanilla moment shower gel wnba - the smell was nice but not a fan of the births in it
    Random lush soap.. Can't see it on the website so thinking its no longest stocked anyway
    Bombcosmetics Santa bath bomb WBA I like this range
    Ab colour treatment mask
    No7 hand cream , this was a freebie at some point but was nice enought
    Elizabeth Arden pretty 50ml . WBA one of the few perfumes I purchase over and over
    Coastal scents 6pce blush and contour kit, the colour I like shattered so decided to chuck.
    Oh and a mac eyeshadow in minted also cracked.dont think I will buy any mac eyeshadow s again I used to love them but now I can't see what the fuss was about.i think with mac you can only get a free lipstick now when you back to mac your products so I'm going to wait until I've used a couple up and get some or I might even just get them to give as pressies depending on what the stash is like

    Technic High Lights, 12ml
    ELF Shimmering Facial Whip, 9.5g, Spotlight

    UU

    Neals Yard Rose Daily Moisturiser, 45ml - WNBA, too strong for my face so using them up as a body lotion. Makes me a little bit itchy though

    INS- 30
    OUTs/TA/UU - 39

    Oh dear oh dear oh dear... BS has a sale... And I also hit my £5 off stamp on the loyalty card. So, my INS for today are:

    Love etc body butter (loads of butters down to £5)
    Fragrance free sulfate free shower gel (£2.50)
    Gift pack of 3 hand creams (£12)
    Moroccan orange blossom body spritz (£5)

    Also bought 2 bottles of l'oreal Paris sulfate free shampoos - have tried a bottle of this out, and it's the only sulfate free shampoo I've tried so far that works as well as normal shampoos. It's very expensive though, so I took advantage of an offer in super drug, while they are (only?) £3.99!

    Been busy today. Went to Mr B**ts to redeem the £5 vouchers but the SA was having none of it:mad: so left them. Did buy bastitse dry hair shampoo to try for free :T
    Then went into local CS, bought a new Body Shop satsuma body lotion - 30p. ;) Ended up buying a new wardrobe, everything was at 50p, so got 21 items, a mixture of tops, trousers, cardigan and 2 dresses :D oh and also a book at 30p :p
    Of course I don't need any of them, but even if I only wear then once and then hand them back in to the CS I don't feel to bad :T

    I'm extremely jealous right now! Is it a mainstream charity at all? It would be good to run along and see if they have an offer on in my local one. I had a nosey in my local charity shop today, but they were really overpriced, so I put everything back again (£4.50 for a plain-ish brown m&s T-shirt :eek:)
