    Friend has pointed out its 6 for £20 on models own :eek:

    :eek: Just had a look and the new speckly ones are included in the deal! If it had been free postage too I think I would have gone for it :o

    The talk of bad hangovers always makes me think back to some shocking ones that I have had! Is Aldi cider any good FizzWhizz?

    It's quiet on here this evening. Hope everyone's ok.

    Another UU (hooray!) -

    38 - Lush Christmas Eve bubble bar. WMBA, bought in sale. Still 1 more to UU.
  • I am hailing from the naughty step:

    Ins:

    Clarins exfoliating toner

    Lancome gel cleanser

    Lancome eye pencil in green ( I am trying to find a green pencil that I love as much as the discontinued UD Covet)

    You beauty box - I chose Beautylab glycowash & Dr Lipp (to prevent DD's lips cracking)

    Birchbox - wont declare as I wouldnt want to spoil the surprise for anyone.

    UU

    Lush shoot for the stars bath bomb - WNBA was OK but not my favourite - think I still have a few to go.
    No more buying toiletries
  • I've got a horrible amount of INs to own up to :o

    I had some Boots vouchers and my hair seems to have decided paraben and silicone free shampoo/conditioner isn't so great after all :(

    So, the following appeared in my shopping basket. It was 3 for 2 as usual, in my defence!! And I now have 1800 Advantage Points for freebies when I'm having a bad day :rotfl:

    Charles Worthington Volume and Bounce Shampoo 250ml
    Charles Worthington Volume and Bounce Conditioner 250ml x 2
    VO5 Heat Defence Spray 150ml
    VO5 Give Me Texture Dry Texturising Spray 200ml
    Soap and Glory Clean On Me Shower Gel 500ml

    UUs going so slowly! Managed to finish my E45 cream and onto the Soap and Glory one, but my hands are all cracked and sore. Makes me realise the S&G really isn't much cop at all for anything other than smelling pretty :(

    You need to get yourself some Nelson's Calendula cream hun, I once had hands so cracked and sore they bled and this was the only stuff that made any difference, normal hand creams just aren't strong enough, it's amazing stuff and perfect for hands as it's not greasy.

    They normally have it in Boots on 3 for 2, but it's not online at the moment, this is the one...

    had to google what colours these were :P the OPI one looks lush :) got loads of nail polish on the hit list for this summer!

    I have a couple of other OPI pinks that are similar and a couple of them are available from Fragrance Direct. See here:

    http://www.fragrancedirect.co.uk/opi/opi-nail-lacquer-15ml/invt/0040019

    Of those colours I own Elephantastic Pink (which is my favourite) and Kiss Me On The Tulips (which I only own a mini bottle of). I also own Strawberry Margharita which is not on FD though. Not that I'm enabling of course.

    I've done that myself :o We travelled all the way to Edinburgh to see The Proclaimers (Don't laugh!) which I was really looking forward to but I ate too little and drank too much. We were in the front row of the circle at the Playhouse, I needed a wee at the interval but I was too scared to go as the wall at the front is only about knee height when you stand up and I was unsteady on my feet :eek: it was the last can of cider which knocked me over the edge; my sister had brought drinks and straws to have on the bus into town :D I have a photo somewhere… ETA: found it! that's me and DH, he's on wine, I'm on Aldi's cider *classy bird*

    Sorry you were a bit disappointed with the experience x

    Not laughing. I like the Proclaimers. I was like that too. I'd had two glasses of white wine in a bar, we'd then gone for a Chinese meal and shared a bottle of white. Then I remember having a glass of white wine at the Arena (which I shouldn't do as it's awful stuff) at the interval.

    One and only thing I 'need' (and it's not toiletries). Is a nice navy blazer :)

    I need to go out shopping at lunch time for a green top. We're going to a St Patrick's party on Saturday night and if I don't wear something green I have to do an alcoholic forfeit! I don't think green's in this year though is it??

    Have another UU to report:-

    Gok Wan Rose Oil Body Wash. I didn't even bother to cut the tube open like I usually do. :rotfl: Awful stuff. Sadly I have another in the stash which I'm going to try and repurpose as handwash for work. It has been moisturising enough but the fragrance was very synthetic smelling. Not a huge fan of rose though anyway.

    Aldi cider (Taurus) is my favourite and my best. It's Strongbow-esque but less sour, although not sweet. It's only £1.99 for a bottle so if you try it and don't like it, it's no great loss :)

    UU no 7) (22) for the year

    Lush bubble bar. No idea of the name it's a recent one and is orange and pink smells very strongly 'fresh'. WMBA the scent is a bit too strong I think.

    Oh and no (8) (23) mark hill straight conditioner. Had to use this on my ends only as there was only a touch left WNBA I didn't even use conditioner before this thread! Came in a set, I have many more conditioners to UU
