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:

That is exactly how I ended up joining this thread!!! :rotfl: However I had resisted but once I'd worked it out couldn't stop I actually haven't spent that much, I worked it out that I'd spent about £6 plus the initial shop to get the vouchers, and as I had a lovetoshop voucher earned through topcashback it was effectively free :j
I will be gifting some of it to friends otherwise will be swimming in tinted mosituriser for the next couple of years! :eek:

I've just realised I haven't checked in this month. Set up my new laptop this evening and also now have fibre broadband. It's great as to speed, but given that I'm a former ICT tutor, Windows 8 is giving me some headaches!
Have mislaid my eye cream, so bought a new style Aldi Lacura Anti Wrinkle eye cream. That's the only IN but I will have an Avon Body Butter arriving later this week. Absolutely no UUs.

I signed up for Glossybox last month, and was impressed enough to give it a go again this month. Thought it was a bit early when they charged me for it last week, but have been excitedly checking for a package every day when I get home... Just found out it's not due out til next week! That is quite a wait between being charged and being sent... Will just need to sit and wait, and maybe see if I can get some more items out to make way for it!

sold the fake tan on fleabay for the princely sum of 99p:mad:is it worth it!!!!!!!noticed they now say send items by trackable post!!!I am already charging £3.50 for "normal" post and this just covers costs,crazy when post costs over 3 times cost of item!

so fed up after watching apprentice as to the two finalists(won't say more in case any fans not watched yet)

UU:

10. Hairspray 50ml - this was from a gift set so not even sure you can buy separately, think it was a Mark Hill one. Anyway, WNBA as I don't usually use hair spray, my hairstyle doesn't really need it.

And INs:

19. Sanctuary Mela Rose & Pistachio body butter 300ml
20. Ted Baker Body Souffle 300ml
21. Sanctuary Mela Black Pepper & Ginger Body Scrub 200ml
22. Champneys Watermint Body Scrub 200ml

These were all thanks to the Boots clearance. Massive reductions, and 3 for 2 kicked in so £5.88 total! I've not tried any of these before, though I like all three ranges, so looking forward to trying something new.

Problem is, I got another No7 voucher and am now doing some tactical planning as to what to buy next... hoping to get some of the aftersun for holidays next month, and this should *hopefully* work out free! Feel free to send me to the naughty step...

I let my Mum loose in my beauty boxes today and she chose some things to take away: lipgloss, lipbalm, nail varnish, eye primer and some hand cream.

16 items out so far this month...and my lovely Dad is on the mend. He may need another operation on my eye at some point, but should be back home within the week. Phew.

Great news about your Dad Luvlycake.

UU

Andrew barton frizz tamer sachet - WNBA didnt like the smell - still have one left in my stash from LIB box.

My son's GF is a sister of one of the Apprentice's last 5, I discovered. I felt a bit guilty that I don't watch reality shows...
UU'd - a perfume mini, think it was Lancôme Miracle. Still ploughing through a now decreasing pile of minis and smelling v. nice.

Failing miserably this month thanks to Mr Boots:

INs:

23&24. No 7 Shimmer after sun - free with vouchers
25&26. Nivea Pearl Beauty mini APDs - partly free with the above. These were planned as needed for my trips at the end of the month.

UUs:

11. Sure Ultra Dry Linen Dry APD 250ml - probably WNBA, this was very powdery and left white marks :eek: and wasn't overly enamoured of the scent.

12. Olay Regenerist Wrinkle Relaxing Serum 7ml - WNBA, although this left a nice matt finish I found it a little drying. I've been using it for a week and have noticed in the past few days that I have dry patches on my forehead and nose (unlike me as I usually have a slightly oily t-zone). This is the only product which I think can be to blame.
