Well far be it from me to be a naughty enabler..... But yes, they are online too, I was going to say all of the N + F sets, although reduced, were still a bit dearer online than in store but actually the cherry one is the same at £3.75 from £11.95 I think it was originally - its Winter Cherry though not Wild but I'm guessing it'd smell this same! HTH

Thank you emsjune!
Oooooops I went an ordered me one for delivery to store though. Cherry is my absolute weakness, that and almond.

Should really post my UU to balance this naughtiness out..

Hello everyone :hello:

One UU to report and it's from my PP list. :j :j

Kempinski Snow Gardenia Shower Gel 50ml - like the previous one, this was snaffled from a hotel. If it was on sale then WBA but I suspect I'll need to go back to one of their hotels.

Working hard at using the others on my PP list, but it's easier said than done!

VALM - I loved Hannibal - I thought Mads Mikkelson played Lector really well. Currently rewatching the Following for the run up to series 2.

UU

Glitter babes bath bomb - Hurrah the final one WNBA these were useless (hopefully we wont receive any more as gifts)

L'oreal laser renew sachet - WNBA hard to tell from a sachet but wasnt blown away so WNBA.

GA

Marc Jacobs Oh Lola EDP spray - I tried this in the shop a few times (as my skin often makes perfumes smell awful) and all was OK so I bought some a few months ago. I opened it this morning to use and thought it was a little heavy but thought the fragrance would settle - anyway a few hours later it hadnt and had given me a banging headache. By lunch I actually felt nauseous from the smell and despite best efforts to wash myself clean it didnt seem to have an effect. I therefore GA to a work colleague - gutted at the money wasted but at least it may be appreciated by someone.

I think that's 91, and that's counting the palettes as 1 each, and not counting brushes. I'm happy with the amount if things I have hear, but I know that I have 10x this much stuff at my mums...

and now I cant find out a way to attach pictures stuff xxx

Oh dear. Lots of INS, I shouldn't have started counting make up as INS this year but that is my weakness and probably why I should count it! I popped to Boots to get some skin care bits, they didn't have what I wanted so I ended up buying make up instead :eek: all things that I have had my eye on for a while:

1: Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in Light
2. 17 Mirror Shine Lipstick in Beehive
3. Rimmel Scandaleyes Waterproof Liner in Nude

I already use the concealer, my current one is nearly UU which is a slightly too light for me so wanted to try the darker shade. I like the lighter shade for under my eyes and then think the darker one will be better for blemishes. The other 2 products I keep hearing about on beauty blogs and wanted to try.

4. No 7 Instant Radiance Highlighter
5. No 7 Eyeshadow Duo in Iridescent purple

I then bought these as I got a £3 off voucher and they were buy one get one half price. Have wanted to try them for a while too.

Total spent was £23.92 :eek: I am planning on going to Debenhams and Boots again later in the week to get skincare stuff I need plus some Mac stuff that I wanted to buy with my Christmas money. Oh dear.

Keeping a log of my spends over the year though and want to review how I get on with products that I buy.

Plus I ended up not giving a Lush melted snowman as a gift so need to add another IN for my total last year as I bought it last year!

Well confession time, I've been at it again and gone and got another Nip + Fab set from Tesco, the Wild Cherry one this time, I can only explain this by saying I think I'm nesting for the new bathroom.... :rotfl:And it works out less than £1 per item, So. Hard. To. Resist!!! Another four IN then, Jan and the £10 spend is going totally to pot! Only question is will I complete the trio and get the spiced apple???? Time will tell

! I am to going to try and resist looking for one when I go to Tesco tomorrow (luckily it's a smaller one I'm going to).... I have a slight Cherry addiction... and I've yet to try Nip+ Fab... You're getting all the blame if I end up coming home with some IN's :P

Think I may have issues resisting tomorrow I'm already on the Tesco's site looking
