    Evening everyone, I have UU :j so off to a good start for the month

    L'Oreal Kids 2 in 1 shampoo cherry flavour - this is soooo old, I bought it to use after swimming at uni and have been taking it with me whenever I have moved for the last 15 years :rotfl: I have managed to get through all my shampoo stash so have had to use it up at last. This must have had some serious preservatives in it as it still smelled the same as when it was new!

    Avon Anew day moisturiser trial size - WNBA, was OK for taking away on holiday but nothing special. Now I have the little pot to fill up when I go away next time!

    Avon Perceive perfume roller - WMBA, I quite liked this fragrance and the roller ball was handy for travelling with but I have a lot of perfumes to get through first!

    No ins so far! :D

    Oops :o

    14 nail polishes ordered from http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/

    Off I go to the naughty step.


    Ooh, edit to add a UU- Perfume Parlour oil in Delicate (Be Delicious DKNY). I do have another in the stash though as it's my summer go-to fragrance.

    Evening all.

    INS
    St tropez fake tan 50ml freebie

    UU's
    Louise galvin hair conditioner WNBA did not do a lot, 1 more to use up
    REN glycolactic peel mask WNBA this was a sample and I don't like face masks. It do leave my skin smoother.
    FP snow drift butter scrub WNBA I will buy other scrubs from this company but the scent did nothing for me, lovely and scrubby though.
    Comfort zone sachet in tranquility WNBA I do like it but I have several body creams/ lotions to use up.
    Comfort zone sachet in d-age ( body lotion) WNBA quite nice but not enough to make me buy it
    Crabtree and Evelyn Himalayan blue hand cream WNBA I liked the scent but don't find it effective enough for my hands so I have used it as a body lotion.

    Hi all,

    2 more INS (may have been end of last month but can't remember): Sensodyne Pronamel and a Mitchum deodorant stick.

    I normally keep all my travel sizes for going away but I've got so many now that my toiletries bag is bursting, so I had a good declutter and left one really nice one of everything in the bag and put the rest into a bag which I am going to use up ahead of everything else. It will mean that I get a few more UUs as they have been a bit thin on the ground recently. :D

    Also, on the first page I have made hyperlinks for all the previous months threads that were there. Should I put the of the months of? (Be warned: there's about another two years' worth! :rotfl:)
    Please call me 'Pickle'
    No More Buying Books: ???

    Ebay always finds in favour of the customer, sellers can't even leave neutral or negative feedback. I have complained about this directly to them before. :(

    :mad: Yes that is one of the reasons I have stopped selling on ebay these days.

    Back on topic - 2 INS (but free :D) from Glamour magazine, got the lip gloss and also a sample of shampoo/conditioner from Herbal Essences.
    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.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Morning all

    Have a uu

    Lee Stafford Poker Straight conditioner - 50ml, WMBA, it didn't really leave my hair straight but it does smell AMAZING, it is just like Thierry Mugler's Angel which I have never worn as a perfume but am happy for my hair to smell of it.

    Also have ins

    Ren trio from Red magazine which I subscribe to.

    Sanctuary Spa Power Peptide Serum
    Sanctuary Spa Lipid Recovery Facial Oil

    The two Sanctuary items were gifts from the Red subscription.
    Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
