    A little flurry of OUTs (to make up for my little flurry on INs, oops)

    56 - Bayliss and Harding mandarin and grapefruit handwash - meh. Lasted ages. Glad to move on. Also, this sees me graduating from the handwash mountain as there's no more in the stash. :T
    57 - Lush inhale exhale (breath of god) ballistic. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous...WDBA
    58 - Poshbrats full moon magic bath salts - so patchoulli-y, ver nice indeedy WBA
    59 - Lush Veganese conditioner - smelt nice but wasn't very conditioning, very light. WNBA
    60 - Visionary soap co. patchouli bath melt - very nice. WMBA but it was a pressie so I've no idea where it's from.
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    BUY. IT.

    There's a reason some many of us love it, and I don't care if I'm enabling! :D

    Seconded! It is my complete HG, even though only been using it for about 18 months. I'd even stick my neck out and go so far as to say it is my one must-have. However, if you are thinking of trying it sjprmc01 I would recommend that you wait for a decent Debs GWP offer (they seem to come along very frequently) - I usually manage to get 15 or 30ml pots free with lower-spend items and I think it actually works out a lot cheaper this way. That's how I justify it, anyway...

    UU:

    57. FCUK Pure Body Lotion 75ml - WBA as I lovee the scent and it's nicely moisturising but can't as it's long since been discontinued. Only a scrub left now from this range.

    PCMC is my desert island product as well. I'd also recommend buying from QVC cos you could use the 30 day MBG if you're not happy with it.
    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!

    Good idea!

    I normally get it from this place, they have free gift offers on ALL the time and if you try it and like it, it's worth getting this set, the 100ml marine cream is normally £135 so you're saving £27 and getting the bliss capsules freeeeeeeeeeee!

    Ghost Deep Night 50ml - Really like this perfume, wore it all through my late teens and it takes me back to crazy nights out with friends! Will not be replacing anytime soon though, as have plenty of perfume in the stash!

    Philosophy Pecan body scrub - MBA the smell is lovely, but can be a bit sickening if the jar is open for too long. Lovely scrubby texture though!

    May have some In's this weekend, as it's payday on Friday and Lush have their Easter items in. I have 1 bath bomb left in the stash, which will probably be used this week. So I'm allowing myself to buy another couple to replace them.

    Can anyone recommend a good eye wrinkle cream? I'm only 20 but I have a habit of squinting a lot (nothing wrong with my eye prescription I get them checked regularly and have contacts and glasses to wear) and really want a cream to help combat the lines I'm starting to get! Also if it has like a cool soothing feeling when you put it on that's what I'd love :) not too fussed on price if it's higher end or drugstore but obviously the cheaper the better :P

  • Hi everyone, I'm going to have to catch up on the thread as not been on for a while. Hopefully will remember all my OUTs! Only had a few INs - toothpaste and dental tape, so I've pretty well behaved :)

    Give aways to the charity shop:
    1. Marks and Spencer No. 2 Bath Melt: I normally have a shower not a bath and hubby prefers bubble bath to melts.

    2. Grace Cole Bath Fizzers x 2: as above, and hubby tried one before and said it was rubbish.

    UUs:
    1. No. 7 Essential Moisture Day Cream: WNB. Received as part of a gift set and it moisturised well but if I remember correctly it's meant for dry skin and I have oily skin, so I usually use Simple products.

    2. Simple Oil Balancing Moisturiser: WBA. I always use Simple's products for my face.

    I must make a list of my perfumes, as I'm forever trying to whittle them down but as soon as I get rid of one I end up with three more as gifts! I'm determined to work my way through them one by one, particularly the mini bottles that are driving me mad. Going to make the list now so I don't forget!
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    I find carrying a bottle in my bag helps me get through it....know that's not always practical with some of the bottles though
