There's an offer at Lloyds Pharmacy for 6 items for £5, 8% TCB so effectively £4.60 not needing anything but still looking.
Looking at it why are bath creams almost the same volume again for the same price as shower gel, ie 500ml bath against 300ml of shower. Just thinking I could decant bath cream into an old shower gel pump bottle I've got and use it that way

Its such a rip-off isn't it, I've been filling up the hand wash dispenser in the bathroom for ages now with a litre bottle of bubble bath I got from Wilko's for about 70p, the equivalent amount in actual handwash, even out of the same range, would be far more!! I like to spend my money on nice things, not over the odds on the basics!

I've had two UU this week:

Duck Island Soap - WNBA - Not sure if this was just down to age but had no discernible scent, must confess didn't completely UU, thought life was too short to use something I really didn't enjoy so chucked about a third...

Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm - WNBA - really didn't like this, felt too heavy and greasy on my face and the smell was overpowering. Grateful its not another expensive product I've fallen for at least!

Still only two IN for November but I've had got the LIB Glamour box on its way so some there and I'm also tempted by the Balance Me one.... Seems good value given there's a £10 voucher included and I'm also lured by the 'golden ticket' for £500 of products in one of the boxes....

UU: Balance me toning body wash - freebie with a magazine, nice enough but I find it hard to justify spending £10 on shower gel, so WNBA.

After a big de-clutter, I have managed to TA: Lipsyl (had for too long, WBA) :rotfl::rotfl: I also threw out some vitamins, but that's about it.

I have 3 nail varnishes, 3 lip balms, coconut oil hair shine and Johnsons holiday skin that I'm thinking I should throw away, but just don't like the idea of waste. No idea what to do with them?

minicooper272 if they're not too used you could always swap or donate them?

The weekend always seems to fly. It's been lovely to see the sun. I'm really glad there is no post on a Sunday, I am awaiting the glamour box ( could be 2). I must repeat I will not buy 10 times, maybe that will work.


UU
Bomb cosmetics bath bomb my lather lover WMBA I like the scent but think that I have been spoilt by lush that other bath bombs never seem as good

GA
Urban jungle sugar scrub
Benefit they're real mascara mini

Just a little bit too used to swap/donate them unfortunately. Most of them were gifts, and I always feel I should make an effort to use gifts. In future I'll just donate them straight away.

I've also got the Glamour box on order...
I bought the Balance Me box a few weeks ago. I use the face oil which is £14.95 alone so £19.95 for the complete box was a no brainier. (there's also an oil in the Glamour box):T
I've only tried the balm so far and I'm not too sure about it. It's greasier than my usual balm and has oatmeal in it so sort of like a scrub too.
No golden ticket for me, so good luck with that!

My project pan list:

1. Sanctuary ultimate facial cleansing oil 150ml
2. Sanctuary gentle cream exfoliater 100ml
3. Lee Stafford Arganoil 50ml
4. No7 Pore refining serum 30ml
5. No7 facial after sun 50ml
6. L'Oreal Elnett hairspray 75ml
7. Sanctuary intensive rescue heel balm 75ml
[STRIKE]8. Sanctuary Mela rose and pistachio body butter 300ml
9. Sanctuary foaming bath soak 250ml[/STRIKE]
10. MAC bronzer

Gosh I can't believe how quickly this weekend has gone by

Today's UUs:

4. Batiste dry shampoo floral blush 50ml - this was a freebie and probably WNB as I wash my haur daily, this was just used as a refresher to get me from home to the gym

5. Sanctuary Foaming Bath Soak 250ml - this came as part of a gift set and I probably WNB as this was repurposed as shower cream. Nice scent and lather though.

6. Sanctuary Mela rose and pistachio body butter 300ml - whilst I loved the (very strong and lasting rose) scent of this I probably WNBA as it seemed to irritate my skin a little in a way that no other body lotion ever has - I don't suffer from sensitive skin so maybe had something to do with the high perfume level??

So that has seen off two of my PP items, and another five are very close behind - finally, a flurry of UUs! Think I may need to make my PP list a bit more challenging next month though!

Two more UU Rituals skin serum:( This was great and free from the Come Round party, can't really justify the spends through. and a creamy candy Lush bar.

Hello to all the new people.

UU

Baby wipes - WBA

Pukka gentle cleansing sachet - 2nd and last sachet gone WNBA the smell of this 2nd sachet made me gag.

Blinc mascara mini - WNBA - I liked this as it was a 'tubing' mascara so did not run but prefer my HG Clinique lash power.

TBS small lemon shaped soap - WNBA to old to determine whether it was any good when new. Another PP bites the dust.
