Must resist, must resist...

This is the kind of thing I love. REALLLLLY want to buy this! Just need to remind myself that these are the kind of treats I can enjoy when I no longer have 338 products to use.

Gym tomorrow so I'll start working on getting the list down!

Another UULoreal Ever Riche shampoo sachet, this smelt posh but hair doesn't feel much different TBH.

:eek:Just counted up mu haul and I'm up to 188:eek: 33 shower gels and 40 moisurisers doesn't help opps, still we have lots to save for and I'm nearly there with paying off my debts so hopefully I can get saving because I don't need much in the way of toiletries for the next year for sure! My sister called me earlier lierally spending her last few pence on Charles Worthington bargains she'd found in Superdrug so there will be a few more INs when I see her tomorrow I expect:eek:

A few more UU to declare before a fresh start in 2014:

50ml Boots extract cocoa body wash and butter - WNBA smelled like plasticine on me - think I may have a full size in the stash.

7.5ml Matriskin vitamin C serum - WNBA didnt think it did anything.

150g Ren Clearcalm clarifying cleanser - WNBA I wanted to love this product, I liked the application on my skin and even the pack design but sadly I felt it did nothing for me. My skin its probably the worst its been in quite some time and sadly this has done nothing to improve it.

Glitter babes bath fizzer - one of several received by DD for Christmas - WNBA not much smell.

Oops another in!
Molton brown templetree shower gel 500mls, couldn't resist this when I saw the special size.

Valm I got about a month's worth of use from the tsv sized cleansing balm but I wouldn't necessarily have used it twice a day every day (I can be a bit lazy sometimes about taking my makeup off before I go to bed)

Happy pampering xo

Sorry to quote myself but this post wouldn't make sense if I hadn't!

Kadison, I'm wondering if you received a duff box. Even today I can still smell them on the landing. I've only used the rose one so far but my skin smelt lovely and rosie all day and there was no residue on the bath either. Strange.

I think I did, I was hugely disappointed with these, especially when everyone said how good they were

Kadison - I admire your honesty about your sale shopping, it's nice to admit that you have bought things without being shot down in flames.

Yesterday I forgot to declare my most bargainous Boots ins

Poppy King for No7 Lip Crayons x 3, these are gorgeous and I have been using the ones I already had for a while but they don't last long, anyway I spotted two colours in a box in the sale section marked at £2 each (I believe full price they were £11) I bought two and DD got one and they went through on 3 for 2 so £4 for 3 of them. I am proud that I didn't go back and get more, although I may have done had it not been so busy;)

Nice purchases! TBH I was expecting not to buy anything much in the sales but I had been browsing online since November and found certain things I wanted, the perfume sets were OOS everywhere except instore at Debs and I always knew I'd be ordering from Philosophy as I LOVE them, the other purchases were a surprise though :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I love it when you get a real bargain like your perfume gift set and it's great thatyou will get use out of all the items inside them. I was really tempted to buy the Liz Earle stocking that's on sale because the stocking is so lovely but I much prefer to get full sized products to use rather than smaller sized ones. I suppose I could have got one and put it away for a gift for next Christmas but we all know how that goes.

Am now going to start chanting "Leave Robbie alone, leave Robbie alone". x

I had some Liz Earle earmarked but it didn't go into the sale, I am also waiting for Lancome online to discount their stuff :cool:

Oh don't start me off, no really, don't!

The good news is that I have UUs:

24. Colgate Total Interdental toothpaste 19ml - thus was a freebie and I WBA but already have a few in the stash

25-26. L'Occitane 5 essential oils shampoo and conditioner 35ml - these were freebies and were fine, did the job but nothing special, especially given the price, so probably WNB.

27. Philosophy Peppermint Bark bath and shower gel 60ml - pricey but smells gorgeous, think I have another in the stash and WMBA in sales etc.

28. Kiehl's Creme de Corps 30ml - GWP and probably WNB given the price as it was fine but unscented and there are many others I prefer.

The bad news - I have many INs, FAR outweighing the UUs! Will list these latter!

Have a uu

Gok Gorgeous Body Wash - am sad to see this go but I have a mini in the stash from Christmas.

I am going to Boots today to pick up my online order and will declare them as in later on.

I have another UU! This will probably be my final one of the year, but considering I only started the challenge at the end of November, I'm pleased with the amount of OUTS :beer:.

UU:
White Company Shampoo 30ml - WNBA. Another freebie in a hotel. Like the conditioner, it's fine but definitely not the HG. That position is currently reserved for the Aussie Mega Shampoo, but I'm willing to give other products a try once I get through my extensive stash of other products!

I'll be honest and say that I haven't heard of some of the products many of you talk about. However, I'm looking forward to getting to know some of them...eventually once my stash has reduced!

Thanks so much to everyone on this thread for being so welcoming and encouraging. You're brilliant. :T:T
