  • That's an amazing order right there rogueylawyer! :D

    UU:
    Beverly Hills Sensitive Enamel Toothpaste - WNBA, a bit chalky

    GA to my mum as I don't use soap much (prefer shower gel):
    L'Occitane Verbena Soap 100g x2
    L'Occitane Lait Soap 250g

    IN:
    1. Ginvera Green Tea Exfoliating Gel 10g
    2. Philip Kingsley Maximiser 250ml
  • A couple of OUTs at last!

    1 - Baylis and Harding hydrating honey handwash - I usually find baylis and harding stuff a bit thin and runny but this was gorgeous, and a lovely smell. WBA.
    2 - Joules ridiculously refreshing body wash - this was part of a gift set. Meh, nothing special.
    3 - L'Occitane dry and damaged hair shampoo. Love this. Clean smell and lovely shampoo! WBA...after I've used some things up obvis. :rotfl:
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

  • Oops, a few pages to catch up on!

    Rogueylawyer, I'm sorry about your foster dog. I can't imagine having to part with a pet in that way. I fall in love with dogs in about10 minutes! Your L'Occitane pampering will be much needed!

    All I've tried of L'Occitane is the hand cream but that is a brand I'd like to look into more. I see them on QVC all the time.

    sam.4000, I'm writing my list in stages and sections too. It takes so long, and you know the longer it takes, the more items are on it. Ho-hum. Your list is pretty impressive!

    kadison don't tempt me with Amazon wishlist like that! I have a Pintrest board set up to help hubby when he needs to get me gifts though...links him straight to it. Already on my Christmas pinning :D

    I hope everyone who tries Elasticizer as much as I do. My hair is in it now, with sandwich bags over the pigtails! I don't go to the roots as my hair is fine and gets oily roots quite quickly. Infact...I love it so much I ordered this kit:

    with a £10 discount code they sent me. A real bargain, GooseMan will kill me when he finds out. Can't afford it really but I had gone swimming (learning to swim...eek!) and it wrecked my hair. I want to buy the Swimcap cream Philip Kingsley makes really. Might not get away with that for a few weeks though!

    Only one UU to the 3 incoming ins:
    30ml Cleanse & Polish WBA and already have because it takes off my sunscreen so well and feels lovely.

    I stocked up on microfibre face cloths in Dunelm yesterday. 49p for 2! Now I can use a fresh one every am and pm between wash days and hopefully keep my acne away.

    I was sent a Boots No 7 eye cream corrector to test, not sure if it is instore as I was under the impression it was fairly new and also try to avoid No 7 unless there's a glitch on! :p
    It was pretty good, but no idea of price.

    Does look like the No7 glitch is back on, so would be worth trying.
    Went into Mr B's today as wanted to return an item I'd paid with points to then rebuy with cash. (long story) :o anyway I didn't get a No7 glossy voucher and thought I should have. The SA was quite rude and was huffing because I'd asked for a refund and then rebought it:(
    I did manage to womble a tillspit on my way out the store. Need to go and look back at the receipts from before to remember the best items :D
    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

    Hello all!

    Three more INs for me, I am down to my last bottle of No7 eye make-up remover and I love these but they're normally so pricey.

    They're now on a fab 3 for £5 offer or £3.29 each!

    Wow! That's amazingly good value, especially since it shows the elastizer alone as being £5 more than that set!

    I saw the mag and the elastizer and didn't buy it, maybe I will give it a go.....

    EDIT: Sorry, Elasticizer lol!

    IN

    I found a UU! On the bathroom windowsill:

    Clinique liquid facial soap 3 (200ml or something daft). WNBA as it doesn't take makeup off and hurts my eyes. Almost all my Clinique phase is UU now. Onto my Clarins phase...

    Edit:
    Also used up the last bit of conditioner from my John Freida Foam dye. I'd buy that separately if I needed a conditioner in a hurry. It does make my hair so soft it's useless the first day after washing though!

    Thanks for this Goose Girl! That is a great deal... hope you don't mind me asking, was that a code specifically for you or a general one?
    I haven't used qvc before and couldn't seem to find any codes online. For those who use qvc, are there any ways of getting discounts that you are aware of? The only thing I could find was something about a referral code, but I only saw that in one place.

    Thanks guys xx

    ps. Goose Girl, Swimcap is 25% off on feelunique at the moment. There is also a 10% off code on top floating around (not sure if I can post it?!)... so you could potentially pick up the 75ml size for about £7 or the 150ml for £13.50 x
