  • UU Face wipes - I am not brand loyal about face wipes, anything around the £1 mark suits me fine, so WBA.

    Morning!

    Some INs from a Debenhams order, no free gift as yet but they do say items can arrive seperately as they're from different warehouses, so I haven't given up hope yet. They may well become OUTs though if no free gift arrives! Nothing would surprise me with them! :mad:

    2 gift sets, so two lots of the below....

    Dreamtone - Fair 01 40ml
    Advanced Genifique Serum 7ml
    Genifique Eye Light Pearl 5ml
    Visionnaire Serum 7ml

    Normally the serum is £69 on its own (and tricky to get for less atm) so the gift set at the same price is a bargain, plus 10% off and a free gift (IF it arrives!).

    Plus some UUs

    Johnson's Eye Make-Up Removal Pads (30)
    Philip Kingsley Elasticizer 40ml
    The Body Shop Blueberry Shower Gel 250ml
    Vaseline Clean feeling lotion 400ml

    SOLD

    L'Occitane Shower Gel For Men 75ml

    Morning Ladies,
    Hope you all are well.

    I have started to compile my list and will post it here when done.
    I didn't realise it was that bad until I started the list. :o
    Is there a character maximum per post???!!! :eek: :rotfl:

    Just seen on Grabbit that Body Shop have an Advent calendar out now. £55 but someone got it for £30, I think, using codes.

    I won't be buying. :A :D
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.

    I placed an order with Debenhams last Wednesday and it hasn't arrived, they don't give any tracking information so I contacted their worse than useless customer services and am still waiting. The Beauty card bonus points are another pain, they don't show the total points you will get when you order and they take ages to add them and you have to chase them up.

    Have a uu

    Avene Gentle Gel Cleanser - 25ml, only used half of this because it was a thick gel in a tiny, incredibly hard plastic bottle and I couldn't get anymore out.

  • Morning! I saw off anther PP item this morning:

    UU:

    7. L'Oreal Elnett hairspray 75ml - WNBA, didn't find it as effective as some others I've tried, loathed the smell and I don't usually use/need hairspray for my hairstyle anyway!
    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
    [STRIKE]6. L'Oreal Elnett hairspray 75ml[/STRIKE]
    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

    I have serious splutterers - hoping to be rid of another 4 PP items by the weekend, and already starting to think of items for my December list... and still no bought INs!

    Me neither (though I had to sneak a peak first to check I wasn't missing out :o)

    It doesn't seem to have much variety, I'm not planning to buy an advent calendar but there are many other better ones IMO - this one contains 4 lip balms... how many does one person need :eek:

    Good luck!
    I'm going to town on Thursday with my mum. Not been in about 4 months and I think the lure of T K Maxx may be too much to bear...

    Resisted temptation today already.
    There's a half price Benefit gift set listed on the Grabbit board! :eek:
    well I did it:Ano buys for me only a tube of hemp hand cream as a pressie for DS3 who has problems with his hands and only got that as had a £3 surprise card for BS.Annoyed at self for forgetting my Origins coupon for freebie but when I got home I read I would have to have had a facial too and just got out of having them from Origins!(they are okay and are free but the SA talks all the way through about what she is using so not very relaxing:(
    did get a nice surprise when took an old Clarins spa card into JL,they now use a card with stamps on and I have 65 mins to use so will probably have a massage soon(they have changed things tho so points run out by May and don't know if I will buy from them again as has taken me ages to get this far.

    :o I have lip balms secreted all over the place! Mostly almost empty :rotfl:

    Off topic completely, hubby has just looked over to see what I'm doing and has asked why I'm reading a thread called "No buying unnecessary toilet." as that's all that fits on the tab :rotfl::rotfl:
