I do this all the time too. Don't wish to enable you but John Lewis and House of Fraser both have 20% off Benefit at the moment. My basket is full :eek:
I'm furtively casting around the JL website as we speak, I want a new eyeshadow palette and I'm between Benefit and Dior ATM, such a thrill!
I'm also tempted by TBS 50% off code but when I went onto their website they were advertising 40% plus free delivery plus a free gift upto the max value of £13 (not checked what) if I've read it correctly so wondering whether that'd work out better. There are things I will need soon so it would be a very considered order, not loads of stuff I don't actually need I'm feeling the need for a little treat but really that should be the eyeshadow.
A few UU to declare:
L'Oreal Everpure Conditioner - HG - will be replaced soon
S & G Hocus Pocus - Swapped out, still a further bottle however, although I've never actually used this, it was gifted
Vichy Eye Serum - As above, two more I should make an effort to try!
Clinique Take The Day Off - Ok but not worthy of Clinique prices, actually think the No. 7 makeup remover I used before this was better - have a couple of glossies to use...
Cussons Moisture Plus Shower Cream - WBA - cheap as can be and perfectly nice and functional but if I do do a TBS order there'll be some shower gels on it as I do like theirs
No new IN, I've been v frugal this month (so far....)
Loved reading the posts about how much ml wise we roughly use per application of product - I'll definitely be over on shower gel as I squirt loads onto a bath scrunchy, most wasteful!
Enjoy the weekend everyone :beer:0 -

Ooh which palettes are you looking at? I was considering the Bobbi brown chocolate one but changed my mind after discussion on here. They are so pricey!
I am also tempted by TBS offer as I could do with some more cleanser :eek:0 -
Some UU's today
* Sanex zero shower gel - gifted WNBA
* Clarins Extra Comfort Toning Lotion GWP
* Superdrug Colour Effects Warm Chocolate Brown Wash In Wash Out Shampoo - this is one of my HG products so will definitely be buying again as I love it.
Probably about to commit posting suicide here but am I the only one who really isn't bothered by Lush or BS products? I've tried a few things from both places now and have never really thought they were up to much. I suppose at least that's two less places to get tempted by.One day Rodney we'll be millionaires£2020 in 2020 - Running Total £170 -

I've been looking at a few and looking at the holiday collections and apart from some of the Dior 5 colour ones, nothing else has really caught my eye! they all seem to be a bit "samey" this year
the Laura Mercier big palette looks good but it is exactly the same shades theyve used previously and i think i already own. got it earmarked for the half price sale though, there are good failsafe work shades in there! 0 -

no your not! i haven't used the body shop in years because none of it has wowed me and the products always seemed a bit too artificial.
I haven't used lush since i gave up SLS because they still use it and i really dont agree with the militant way lush have promoted causes recently. i got properly collered the last time i went in and i felt like i couldn't dare say i disagreed with their viewpoint or id be labelled a witch and burned at the stake there and then or something. it really put me off going back.0 -
Ah wow didn't realise you were there. I love Lily Greenwood's butterflies - I have a few of her paintings up in my house.
Squee! :j That's my super lovely friend Liz. She's getting quite collectable, she's currently in the Saatchi gallery! Oooh! Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:
