    was weak at boots double discount days
    bought 4x sanctuary body scrub-my husband loves this
    4x sanctuary cocooning body butter-HG got in a xmas gift and loved it cant really justify buying it at the moment as have tons of body moistuirisers in cupbaord plus 4x sanctuary body souffle-free with above-WBA-like this for holiday moisturising as it is quite light

    another in- 1xvaseline spray and go body moisturiser-a present MBA have tried it and its quite nice going to keep it for holidays though

    gave away 1x bs ginger body butter,1xbs cranberry body butter and 1xbs vanilla body lotion to a friend to cheer her up

    UU-dont usually count soap as we normally just use baby soap but have been delving into my hotel supplies and have used up a crabtree and evelyn triple milled soap with jojoba oil-very nice smell and creamy lather but who would pay £10 for three bars of soap

    have quite a few things coming to the end so will post as i use up

    love this thread as it has really focussed me on using up what i have rather than just contiously buying more stuff

    Hope your Dad is ok luvlycake.

    I have 11 INS :o:o:o

    Most of them are NBI though which makes me feel a bit better. I did a box swap on a Facebook group.


    42: Simply Wax After Wax Oil 100ml
    43: Dirty Works Youth Sexy Thing Day Cream 50ml
    44: Balance Active Formula Snake Venom Face Mask 75ml
    45: Balance Active Formila Rejuvenating Day Cream 50ml
    46: Balance Active Formila Rejuvenating Night Cream 50ml
    47: Skin Wisdom Youth Protect Eye Treatment 15ml

    Has anyone tried the Balance Active Formula range before? I am always worried about trying new facial products as I am prone to acne.

    Also have the following INS from my recent TBS online sale shop plus an extra 40% off:

    48: The Body Shop Nutriganics Softening Cleansing Gel Oil 100ml
    49: The Body Shop Seaweed Mattifying Day Cream 50ml
    50: The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Shampoo 60ml
    51: The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Conditioner 60ml
    52: The Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Hair Butter 50ml

    Phew! No more INS for a while now!

    Have used up a bottle of Naked Marshmallow and Aloe shampoo - WNBA I thought it made my hair look really greasy and rat-tailed, so I just wound up feeling very conscious about my hair. Have lots of bottles of shampoo to move on to next.

    keeping fingers crossed everything goes well for your dad lovelycake!

    Went to France yesterday so I have some ins:

    Make Up For Ever HD Foundation - HG

    Sephora Eyeshadow Sticks in brown and taupe because I hate the Rimmel Scandeleyes' lack of colour range and got bored of waiting for the Max Factor version to come out (stalked Superdrug and Boots obsessively and they only seem to have the lime green one!!)

    Sephora Nano Eyeliner in glitter brown - just looked pretty

    Sephora Shower gels in Lemon Verbana and Lagoon

    Sephora roll on perfume in Lagoon

    2x big bottles of Bioderma

    2 x La Roche Posay Serozinc since you can't get it here except via Ebay

    3 x travel shower creams from Marionnaud in Fig Plum, Pomegranate Passion and Blood Orange & Cranberry

    + hand ful of sample perfumes
  • Hope your Dad is OK Luvlycake.

    UU:

    8. Gillette Satin Care Sensitive shave gel 200ml - HG and replaced with same from stash. Since I'm now onto my last one of these, and tend to only stock up when on offer as I get through a can every few weeks, I'm going to stop recording them as they're simply inflating my numbers!

    Good morning ladies,

    Hope your dad is on the mend Luvlycake

    Have some uu's: Palmolive morning tonic shower gel, this has quite a sharp scent which I wasn't that keen on so wnba

    Vo5 plump it up volumising mousse, I found this to be very good, gave volume without leaving my hair feeling crispy or heavy, wba

    Balance me wonder eye cream, I love this, it's the only eye cream I've found any sort of benefit from, the fact that it was a magazine freebie was an added bonus!

    Also have a TA - MOP lemongrass conditioner, horrible stuff. I had purchased this at 75% off. It smells vile and has a really gritty texture - I've never used this brand before so y don't know if this normal or if mine had gone off. Did nothing for my hair either so has been binned.

    Happy pampering, xo

    UU/TA Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo. WNBA. I gave up on this I'm afraid, it really weighed my hair down and made it feel greasy. I like the MM conditioner but the shampoo is no good for my hair at all. I got through about half the bottle but I've given it up as a bad job. Replaced with Herbal Essence Hello Hydration.

    Can any of you lovely ladies recommend a nail polish remover that cuts through top coat? I use a base coat, 2 coats of colour followed by top coat but really struggle to remove it! I've got a gel top coat from Kiko which looks fantastic but is almost impossible to remove without picking at it:mad:
