  • Have just returned from a week in Portugal - was a really good holiday, and a pretty cheap city to visit - we had lots to do and I've come home with a pretty decent sun tan!

    I managed to stay well away from toiletry temptation, even though they had a perfume shop where you could go mix your own perfume (tbh, that sounded a little dangerous!) only 3 INS - Aloe Vera shampoo and Aloe Vera soap (complimentary in the hotel room) and a bottle of Paul Smith perfume (birthday present)

    I did manage 2 UU:

    2ml Viva La Juicy perfume - WNBA, nice fragrance but not for me

    Tesco sun tan lotion - WMBA, it did a good job, applied well (the OH bought an expensive bottle of Nivea lotion but started to steal mine because it rubbed in a lot better) but was a bit of a needs-must purchase.
  • 1 Uu today - johnsons top to toe baby ,WBA
    Also I depotted 5x sanctuary bath floats into this so counting 4 outs and will leave the 5th until I finish bottle. Much easier this way with the pump on the bottle and less cluttered

  • I might be a tad too late to be joining you this month, but I seriously need to stop buying toiletries... I have been saying this since the end of 2011!

    Dare I ransack all my drawers and storage boxes and actually count what I have!

    Going to start making a list of things I want to buy from the B00ts Advantage Points event. Is that weird?

    I don't think is ever too late too join, welcome.

    It's nice to hear that sundaygirl and minicooper had a lovely holiday.

    UU's
    Lush jingle spells bath bomb WNBA for some reason I thought this was twinkle not jingle spells, nice enough but not exactly my sort of scent especially since I thought it was twinkle which is American cream scented which I love so a little disappointed

    Elemis pro collagen marine cream15 ml WBA

    L'occitane lavender eau de toilet 100 ml WNBA to me it did not smell of lavender and it was a very light scent. I have had is in the car as a quick way to finish it.

    Molton brown ginger lily shower gel 50 ml WNBA I could only smell a fake floral scent and really could not wait till this wa finished.

    Perfume sample which I can't remember the name of but I did like it WMBA but not in the near future as I still need to reduce these down

    Skinetica 20 ml sample WNBA I did have the full size like this could not wait to use it up. It contains alcohol that does not agree with my skin.
    Flexitol hand balm sachet WNBA I prefer neutogena, still have several more to use up.

    GA
    2 lush Father Christmas ballistics, they are full of glitter which I hate.

    New people with new tempting stash lists are welcome at any time! Be warned, you will start pampering yourself on the excuse of decluttering, and looking around feverishly for the next UU (or is that just me??)

    One more UU tonight: Lush big blue bath bomb. Utterly needed after being soaked through (and I mean that. Soggy underwear is no-one's friend:eek:) on the walk home tonight. It's my favourite lush item and I have one more in the stash.
