    don't read this if you want to be good!

    L'Oreal infallible lip due from beautyoutletdirect.co.uk for £2.99 (worth £11) using code PLLD....go to offers and you will see it,only problem is hard to tell what the colours are and even when I searched Loreal site I could not find them as different numbers:(there are supposed to be 5 choices but it only showed 4 and I just guessed at the colour!

    Have quite a few INS from the No7 glitch, found the most lovely SA who was genuinely pleased to see the bargains I got :D so I've said I'll go back to her in the future if I've any vouchers to use!:rotfl:

    Glad its a bit cooler today, at least can get on with things :)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I was so very near to UU a bottle of Clear Scalp & Hair Therapy Shampoo for coloured hair but ended up throwing it away instead with just about one or two washes left in it. I had been quite liking it up until the point last night that I accidentally splashed some in my eye. :eek: OMG I have never felt anything so damned painful and my eye is still red and inflamed some 24 hours later.

    I have two INS that were ordered last month:

    REN Glycolactic Face Mask and REN Jojoba Facial Scrub. Just loved the orangey gooeyness of the Glycolactic Mask and it smells amazing. Although obviously yet to prove their worth to me, they have been on the 'must have' list for a while. ;)

    Ouch that sounds awful Kiwisaver!! I am currently trying to use up an eye cream that stings my eyes if it gets to near them, surely that is bad for an eye cream?! Have come close to throwing it away a few times and still may do.

    I am loving hearing all about the No7 glitch bargains, haven't bought anything myself yet on it as I still haven't quite got my head around what you have to do and don't want to end up spending more :rotfl:

    1 UU:

    107: Benefit Foamingly clean facial wash (mini size) - WNBA - had this as a gift, product was nice enough although I didn't like the way that it left my skin feeling squeaky clean and dry when removing it. I also didn't like the bottle it came in as it was a nightmare to get any of the product out.

    I have now UU all my stash of cleansers :j I am now on to using one that I bought very recently as it is one that I have wanted to try. Am looking forward to choosing new products to try out (but not stashing of course!) and hopefully finding a HG cleanser for me.

    Thank you ladies. I'll get to visit him today. *stays calm until the visit*

    OUTs
    9 - vo5 revive me daily conditioner - wouldn't buy again as my hair felt dry and greasy.
    10 - benefit yes they're real mascara - would definately buy again! Love this, HG product. *makes a note*
    11 - sachet of andrew barton the frizz tamer power mask! Conditioner, says from ASDA on the back. Don't remember buying this. Hmmm. Very nice, a little light for a mask, but lovely actually. Might buy again if I ever shopped at ASDA

    IN
    4 - l'occitane immortelle cream with Harper's.

    Must start taking a book to the hospital rather than buying magazines!
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    Ouch! Exactly the kind of thing that usually happens to me :rotfl:

    UU:

    9. Sanctuary Foaming Bath Soak 75ml. WNBA, it smells good and lathers well but as I've said before I'm not a bath girl so this was used in place of shower gel. I have a few more in this size and a full size too I think.

    Really enjoying this challenge, I can see a noticeable reduction in my stash and it has made me realise quite how much I used to spend each month simply due to an ignorance of what i already had. So I have seen a reduction in spends too :T

    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:

    the sephora tub one is amazing, useless to us sadly though :(

    the Bourjois one is a very good substitute though, i have it in my drawer at work for emergencies lol
