Oh dear Kadison - hope you get the result you want without having to blow a gasket.

Happy Birthday Catriona. Have a lovely day.

Need to go to Boots at lunch as Emma has no hairspray. Will try to only buy what she *needs*.

So I ended up buying 2 x Tony & Guy mousse and 1 x Umberto Giananini hairspray as they were on 3for2. Plus I bought a pack of Nivea facial wipes for Emma's trip.

Yesterday I also ordered some Elemis Senstive Shave Gel for MrM. Was pleased with price of this as had 10% off voucher for Salon Skincare so saved £5.00 on the RRP.

Morning lovelies, hope you're all well. I've been AWOL this week due to work deadlines and the crazy lead up to my wedding - which is today :j. Can't sleep, too blinkin' excited!

Off to catch up then will report my UUs - no INs, not even free ones it honeymoon toiletries :A

I've been meaning to post all day and congratulate you Sundaysgirl. No doubt you have now had the first dance and are enjoying your evening reception. xx

'free' if you normally buy the paper otherwise its the cost of the newspaper

Am going to get one of these as I'm going to be at the Trafford Centre on Monday now (MrM has a voucher for Las Iguanas). Had we not been going any time soon I wouldn't have bothered. I'm happy that they are offering my favourite Lavender one too.

You should really seriously give the second Hunger Games film a try - its about five times better than the first one ... I don't even know how its possible because trilogies rarely improve but this one has pulled it off.

OK will put it on my "to watch" list.

Another UU from my PP List ladies:-

Marc Jacobs Honey body lotion. I really like this. Much prefer it to the fragrance and may consider buying it again to wear with a different fragrance. Do like the shower gel as well.

Naughty FizzWhizz mentioning TBS body butters. I will not look - do you hear me over there on the naughty step! I am however doing a little "research" into what's on offer at the Yorkshire Soap Company ready for my visit on Tuesday .xx

mrs-moneypenny

a UU to declare
Lush dream team hand and body lotion
it went on lovely and i feel suitably moisturised and with it being in a pot there is no wastage. have washed out the pot to give to DD2 as she collecting them for free products. according to my list i do have another in my stash but ive got a little tube of champneys out to use next.

Ah you'll be all married now Sundaysgirl :happylove Congratulations, I hope you've had an amazing day in the sunshine x

I've been lurking not posting this month until now, have just caught up. I have been off work this week and its been total bliss, doing what I want, when I want with whom I want! :beer: I know I'm really late to the party but I am in this month, as every month and I really must update my stash list and post that too as its been ages and I'm losing track completely.

Interesting to read that opinion is so strongly split on Benefit They're Real - this is my HG mascara but I can understand how others don't get on with it as I found it very 'wet' at first and I do need to apply it with a careful hand so as not to appear spidery!

Also the Naked palettes, I've used No. 2 to death and after 2 years UU several of the darker brown shades completely - I got Naked 3 for Christmas and I have to admit I'm not really using it.... the shades are a bit pink/warm for my dark hair/pale skin colouring I think. Going to have to either swap or Ebay as no point in it languishing unloved. I really like the look of Smashbox palettes, any thoughts ladies? At the moment I'm using what's left of the most useable day-to-day Naked 2 shades, a couple out of a few Benefit kits and a No. 7 shadow I bought with a voucher.

I had a last out to declare from March - L'Occitane Honey Soap - WNBA - This was very much style over substance for me, looked gorgeous in its cellophane with its pretty etching and was tempting just to leave it like that but of course I'm well versed in PRCP so know better! Started to use it, found it very meh and actually was a bit harsh on my more sensitive parts Not that I was applying it directly of course!!! So this one ended up as a TA with about three quarters to go as IMO if something is irritating you or just not doing its job then life's too short to carry on just to call it a UU!

May be joining fizzwhizz on the naughty step shortly... Have heard that Origins are giving away a free 30ml night cream if you buy a 50ml day cream. I do need a day cream, and apparently free night cream is worth £20 so wondering about selling it on ebay and therefore recouping most of the cost of the day cream...

1 out today to add, Aussie Colour Conditioner. WNBA, has lasted me the shortest time of any conditioner and hair is in no better condition for using it! Glad it was a freebie as would be annoyed if I'd paid good money for it!

UU for April so far are:

Nivea Cashmere Moments Handwash - WBA - Nice fragrance and bottle, only thing I didn't like about this was that sometimes when you used it the design of the pump dispenser was such that it somehow caught your skin - OH said the same!

Boots Extracts Mango Body Wash - WBA - HG range full stop really, just wish I had bought more of these sets in the sales than I did, was trying to avoid stockpiling but I do love them and would have used them - maybe I'd have gotten bored though, I do like variety with shower gels!

Miss Patisserie Bath Melt - Another one that looked fab but didn't really deliver - was massive too, I probably could've just broken some off but used the whole lot in one go making the bath slippery as a result...

Toni & Guy Glamour Hairspray - WNBA - Nice fragrance but nothing standout otherwise

Sure Bright Roll on deo - HG deo

IN are:

Boots Extracts Cocoa Butter Bodywash - Taken out of a set and moved over from present stash as suddenly realised I'd ran out of shower gel in main stash - I have to admit this did cause me to panic!!! I also don't think I'm a million miles away from graduating in most areas now - will take proper stock with the new stash list and set an amount I want to have of each type of product as it will be more than one - i.e. 2/3 shower gels for variety and so I don't constantly panic I'm running out, 2 shampoos so I can switch them etc

Palmolive Meditterranean Moments Morocco Shower Milk - Half price in Morrisons, panic bought in light of the above :rotfl:

Garnier Moisture Match Revitalising Hydrating Gel - Using this at the moment with none in reserve as I gave a tube to OH as he needed moisturiser but doesn't like creams as they run into his eyes somehow! Didn't actually need any for a while but was only £2.99 in Morrisons so was too good not to get some - was quite impressed I didn't sneak a couple more - it usually is on offer somewhere but this just seemed to be their standard price??

Imperial Leather Bewitching Shower Creme - Blackberry Blossom & Wild Fig - Half price in Tesco, swelling the modest shower gel stash - had this one before, it smells amazing!

Did something very MSE today and cut my home insurance costs by two thirds compared to the renewal figure and got myself a Baby Oleg in the process :T Was extremely satisfying, as will be cancelling the old policy - my current insurers came up in the search results at less than half the renewal figure for five times the contents cover, tut, tut!!!!

I make that a total of 122 items, there's things in there I know I'm just not going to use so need to find and weed those out. Bath in particular is right down now - in fact I think there's extra items in there now that have been earmarked for a gift so need to sort those out too.
