  • 2 more outs!

    Rituals Shampoo mini - would buy if I could afford it! Makes my hair smell lovely.
    Boots vit E night cream - not sure about this, tend to wake up a bit greasy rather than moisturised. Just used it up on my feet!

    I've more IN already this month than I had in the whole of Feb! :eek: Mind you that was only 5 so its not as bad as it sounds, I'm upto 6 in March so far, latest IN:

    Tresemme Freeze Hold Hairspray -HG and also a replacement
    No. 7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser - HG and used a voucher and 3 for 2 with the hairspray and some foundation
    Percy & Reed Wonder Balm - Free with Elle, made the claim that it was a 'miracle product' and that was enough for me...:o Also got me curious as says its like a primer for hair (?) - this is the first magazine freebie I've fancied in a while too.

    At least they have all been MSE in some way!

    A few more UU also:
    Bomb Cosmetics Jade Bath Meltz - WBA - turned the bath water a lovely colour, smelt nice and was very moisturising - by far my favourite out of the box to date
    Tresemme Freeze Hold Hairspray - already replaced as above
    Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter Body Butter - Divine, I love this stuff, the smell and the texture are so nice I actually enjoy moisturising with this and I'm far more inclined to do it - HG - glad I picked up some bigger sets of this 70% off, they're in my present stash at the moment but I think I'll be moving at least one over :rotfl:

    Is it 3 for 2 mix and match across make up, hair care, skincare etc. at Boots at the moment? When I went in the other day I thought it was only within product type i.e. 3 for 2 across all haircare, 3 for 2 across all make up etc.

    Second Naughty step for me...

    I took two lipsticks back that I was gifted as they were really metalicy tasting ....

    I swapped it for L'oreal facial oil and since things were 3 for 2 I bought 2 soap and glory scrubs.

    Essentially I got one free and I ended up with 750 points due to combination of vouchers..

    However... Still on the naughty step!!

    It's not out just yet... but they are on their way, they are in the brochures in the next couple months. I don't know how online measures up time wise...
    They have just started advertising them to the reps. I am so excited :D x
    I hope you know your capable, & brave, & significant.
    even when it feels like your not....

    Hello fellow AVON ladies. The gel polishes do look nice but I will be resisting, I haven't bought anything for myself for a while now. My favourite things are the bubble baths - so bubbly, the Pur Blanca and Herve Leger Femme perfumes and the glimmerstick eyeliners. My order came Wednesday and I delivered it all last night, DD comes with me and we have fun chatting for ages to our customers.

    I have no ins so far this month although tomorrow is my birthday but I haven't asked for anything toiletry related. I need to go to Boots today and get some Evening Primrose, I will have a wander but there is nothing I need.

    Another UU this morning:

    Gok Wan body scrub (green tub - think it was Argan oil). Awful product. So runny and with very little grain although once applied to the skin became scrubby ?? Weird. Didn't like the smell. Did use about 1½ body's worth this morning to get rid though.

    I'm in a quandry. Those naughty people at Boots have sent me a newsletter with loads of coupons ie double points etc. I'm now not sure whether to go for the Origins Plantscription Eye Cream or the Clinique one. Both are gel like forumlas that I really like however I can't remember being as impressed by the Clinique one as I have been by the Origins one lately. The Clinique is £10.00 cheaper though. Decisions decisions. Will probably be going into Manchester tomorrow to get whichever one I decide on so long as I'm not too hung over. Going into Manchester tonight to see Jack Whitehall.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
