  • Back from a successful trip to town so 3 little free INs:

    L’Occitane Amande hand cream 10ml
    L’Occitane cherry blossom hand cream 10ml
    L’Occitane shea hand cream 10ml

    Perfect for my hand bag, shame they won't last very long through:(
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Rosemary's right, its through their Facebook page. I've had a few few handcreams including full sized ones through their page over the last year!
    Thanks for the information Rosemary and seasideDreamer. I don't use Facebook so I've cheekily asked my brother if he will apply for a code and pick them up from the Kingston branch when he next goes there. :)

    Anyone know if Lush do a cinnamon bubble bar?!
    I do hope not, the last thing I need now is a Lush addiction! :rotfl: I did find out that the Bomb Cosmetics Chilly Willy Bath Blaster I accidentally acquired recently is cinnamon scented though!

    I'm looking forward to seeing photos of your new bathroom too emsjune. :D
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Is this the melting snowman melt? I used the head of mine at weekend in the bath and it was lovely. I also used the Lush fairy shaped massage bar (Emma's) but was not very happy with it. It smelt overly sweet and left my bath with a pink ring (reminded me of Cat in the Hat) that was really difficult to scrub off.

    No this one was a bath bomb, heres the link to him:

    In other news, managed to UU another 2 products!
    Clinique Liquid Facial Wash
    Dove Go Fresh pomegranate stick

    I always seem to buy the Clinique face wash, but it does work for me though...not sure if I would class it as my HG face wash though, would like to try a few others before deciding.
  • Thank you to everyone who suggested eye make-up removers. I will definitely be looking into those recommendations! :)


    One UU for me today: Miss Ferling Baume des Tigresses Bling Bling hand cream. This was pleasant enough to use. It has a scent that's midway between a fruit and a floral, and it contains mother of pearl which gives your hands a pretty sheen. I might buy it again, although for £10 there are probably more effective hand creams I could buy.

    I am really really sorry about this... don't look unless your feeling naughty...
    it's probably on here somewhere too but I just saw it on a blog...



    If you subscribe to the sun+ for 1 month for £1... they will send you a £20 superdrug gift card! You have to leave it over 7 days before cancelling the subscription or you won't get the gift card, and of course end it before a month is up or you will be charged full price for the next month...
    Also one of the sun+ perks until 7th Feb is a free Barry M set. I probably won't keep any of the set personally but it's free and will make a good gift for lil sis to give one of her friends...


    Sorry...

    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
    even when it feels like your not....

    Nails inc have had a different code each day of January valid for 24 hours - codes are on their facebook page - yesterdays was for 50% off but it ended at midnight (todays is 15%)

    I managed to resist - but only just. I have so many untried polishes in my stash I should at least try to sample a few before buying more (with so many varieties available I find this a huge challenge!).

    I peeked, then took a deep breath and closed the window. Phew. I also got all my nail varnishes out this morning, put them in a rainbow line and shook them. I'll see which ones spilt...and test the others. ;)
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    I was naughty today, for shame. :doh:

    I went to lush for some toner, not counting as I only have the one in use and no others in stash...and also bought a big chunk of yummy smelling soap. I also popped in L'Occitane and bought some almond oil. Naughty Rachel.

    So 2 more INs added to the total.

    Evening all.

    I can't seem to keep up with the thread anymore andwork is hectic which does not help.

    UU's
    Neom hand cream WNBA too light a texture for me. Smelt lovely.

    So white bath ballistic WBA, love this one

    Tesco's bubble bath WNBA something to do with relaxing or sleeping, did neither, definitely a LHJ and so glad to have finally used it up.

    Bath bomb WNBA which is probably right as I have no idea what it was

    Oskia Renaissance mask WNBA this took forever to use up as I did not like it and did not really think it made any difference to my skin. This has been in use for 12 months or so and I finally got to the end.

    Dr bronners pure Castile soap WNBA great for cleaning make up brushes but not one I would go and buy.

    Lacura hyaluronic gel WBA liked it and found it effective. Have 2 more in stash and I bought these for 99p each from a sale at Aldi.

    Sandy Santa sugar scrub WBA this was from Christmas and I much prefer this formula to last years.

    Shadow show soap WNBA

    BS ginger shampoo WBA HG love this stuff or my scalp does.

    Cinders bath ballistic WBA a favourite

    That's all I can remember, I really need to post more regularly as I forget what I have used. I know there will be more bath stuff but have not got a clue. I will have to do an audit this weekend. Happy using it up and not buying. I will have INS soon as I have a parcel coming from beauty bible next week. I was going to stop doing beauty bible but alas I could not resist.

    Good evening everyone!

    2 more UU's to report over here :j , both from the PP list

    Ted Baker 75ml Body wash WMBA, was a giftset received from santa.... wot a nice santa! quite nice to use but i have so many more smellies to use before i need to rebuy.

    Charlie Red 50ml WNBA, again another part of a giftset from santa, will grab another body spray to UU before i open my nice new perfumes:p

    Any one have any personal tips on how to ease stress induced psoriasis on the face, other than inflicting pain on the person responsible for the stress in the first place?

    Happy Bubbles
  • So it's nearly the end of the month and I failed miserably in not buying any unnecessary toiletries in January. It was the sales that did it! However, I'm more positive for February. I'm enjoying following this thread everyday and the support you lovely ladies provide x
    No buying unnecessary toiletries in 2014: currently counting hoard....numbers TBA
