Heh, VALM, I think our respective complaints both fall into the "first world problems" category. We're definitely martyrs to the cause
Escaped an impromptu Sainsburys trip without blotting my copy book further :A0 -
Forgive me for I have sinned! Cant remember when I last updated this but since Christmas I have had so many ins! Spent £60 in Lush sale, spent about £80 in the Boots sale... plus last week I was in Boots again and saw they had loads of Philosophy stuff reduced, it was in tins? I have never had any of this stuff before so I obviously just had to get some. Its still all in the carrier bag under my dressing table so I really dont know why I needed it!
Really do need to stop buying stuff. I know I musnt keep stuff for 'best' or a 'special occasion' but its so hard! I dont know why...Slimming World Member - Started 05/02/150 -
Just ordered this:
Company magazine 3 issues for £3 by Direct Debit + Bayliss & Harding Beauticology gift set worth £40
( weekend bag, 50 ml pink peppermint hand & body lotion, 200 ml candy swirl body scrub, 100 ml cherry candy cane body wash, 100 ml strawberry swirl shower creme, 100 ml pink peppermint body lotion, 250 ml body butter, body polisher)

So will have a few ins after all this month but for £3 I couldn't turn it down!
Me tooThanks for the suggestion
Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
Take time but don't waste time0 -
Welcome back adilade :)I've been here since the beginning too (although I didn't post for the couple of months due to being in denial!!)

Some UU's to report
Lush American Cream Conditioner WBA, though I find it expensive for what it is, I love the smell! It lasts in my hair for days after washing!!
T-Gel Shampoo WDBA, will need to replace this next week as I use it once or twice a week in between my normal shampoo.
Dove Go Fresh Pomegranate Deodorant stick, WBA HG deodorant!0 -
Another couple of UU, I'm on a roll!
Burt Bees lip balm - loved this even tho the peppermint was a bit much sometimes!
BS Shea Shower cream, disappointing this, very thick but needed loads at once so didn't last very long.
Just opened a Boots Extracts cocoa butter body butter and I'm very impressed with the latest formula, it is beautiful, like lightly whipped cream and smells amazing:TDebt 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 sales0 -
Some UU:
50ml Vaseline essential care body lotion - was ok but there are others I prefer WNBA
Mouthwash - WBA
Boots cotton wool pads - WBA
Lush bubble bar - WBA if I knew what it was.
TA
My little sunflower cream - this came in a beauty box and I suspect it had gone off as I cant imagine spelling of lard would be a big selling point.
And now the ins:
My pixi order finally arrived so:
2 pixi glow
6 eyeliners
also
1 new mouthwash - already in use
6 Lush bath bombs to replenish DD's supplyNo more buying toiletries0 -
UU a pack of huggies super soft wipes
not exactly the fanciest thing but awesome after a night out for taking your make up off (or anytime you're feeling lazy) and just feels lovely and refreshing
one of the only ones that don't irritate my eyes too. WBA religiously, however I do have 3 packs to finish first!

I have a few uu
Clarins Cleansing Milk Oily/Combination - WBA, already have another bottle in the stash. I have been buying this for years and come back to it regularly, it is gorgeous, so soothing and milky and smells gorgeous. I have replaced it with a BS Aloe Cleanser.
BS Coconut Shower Cream - WNBA - had a synthetic smell.
BS Coconut Body Butter - WNBA as above.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler
Fashion on the Ration 28/660 -
UU no 2/. (For March, 17 for the year so far)
Lush melting marshmallow moment. Smells like snow fairy, a HG product and was nice enough but really uneconomical as I couldn't break it in half so only gives you one bath.
I'm LOVING MUA primers at the moment cheap and feel great on the skin. I bought a few to try the other week I've tried the fashionista flawless primer (£2-says it was £10) and the matte perfect primer and they are great! Today is the first day I've worn foundation (except for when going out) in years and for once it blended in nice and you can't see it sitting on my skin! Maybe be able to actually get through some makeup before it spoils :rotfl:No more unnecessary toiletries Feb 2014 INS: 24 UU: 13. Mar 2014. INS: lost count, naughty step for me! UU: 80
