    Making another decision and adding a Rimmel Apocalipsin Nova to my Mum's pile. I've worn it maybe twice, it's quite aging on me though it's lovely. In the bag it goes!
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    Todays UU

    TBS Satsuma shower gel - WBA one of my favourites - more in stash.

    Boots No7 purifying mask - WMBA

    Lush Twilight - WBA I like the fragrance

    Boots bubble bath - WNBA this was a test sample but was useless at bubbling.

    L'oreal lumi magic pen - WNBA not very effective as an undereye concealer.

    3 ebay outs


    and the ins:

    3 x Boots 6+ toothpaste

    2 x cotton wool pads

    2 x schwarzkopt shine products - cant remember the names but promises shiny luscious locks - will see.
    No more buying toiletries

    1 out - gave the avon set to my mum she was looking for stuff for a raffle at the church and it seemed a ideal opportunity to get rid

    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker Debt-free and Proud!
    A couple of UU here BS almond Hand Cream 30ml, as others have said watery but I suposse it was free! UU of Skin Therapy 2 in 1 cleanser lotion, really like this and such a bargain, will buy again after I use the new cleanser face wotsit.

    One IN Collection Moisture Care Nail Polish Remover, this was needed.

    Debt 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 sales

    Just goes to show how different people like different things, I have the L'Oreal matte and messy spray and I hate it with a passion! The spray bottle has broken so instead of spraying nicely over my hair it just sort of...spits into it leaving hard patches. And it stinks of alcohol! What makes you like the TXT one?.

    I like the TXT because I found with the matte and messy that it was a little bit sticky and didn't rate the smell much as you have said but TXT is an aerosol spray which makes it easier, smells much nicer and has a much more lightweight feel in the hair and isn't sticky at all. I really want to try the Charles worthington texture spray (forgot the name, purple bottle) too :D

    In other news UU a tea tree and which hazel facial scrub from boots :) think it's their own brand. WNBA because the scrubby bits were few and far between, prefer other face products in same brand.

    Just did a survey and I'm being sent 'something' to trial, it is something I've not got a stash of so that's not too bad. Ages since I had a beauty related trial, if you discount the avalanche of review goods from Am@zon.

    Hello ladies,
    Recent UU for me:
    L'Occitane angelica hydration cream sample sachet. This was nice and light. WMBA one day.
    Avon argan oil shampoo 250ml. WIBA? This is my current favourite shampoo, but I do want to try others, no longer have an Avon lady :(
    Avon argan oil conditioner 250ml. As above.
    Lush candy mountain bubble bar. WIBA? Yep, at sale time, lovely snow fairy scent!
    Lush snow fairy 100g. WIBA? Yes, I love this however I think I have close to another litre in the stash!
    Right guard shower+oils argan, monoi and almond shower gel 250ml. This is nice, would like to next try the other two variants I've spotted.

    INs:
    From a boots trip:
    Garnier ultimate blends shampoo and conditioner - on a half price offer and won't be stashed too long, have now got the shampoo/conditioner stash under control. (Forget the variant)
    Herbal essences clarifying shampoo 400ml. This was on clearance for £1- checked receipt at home and it didn't quite go through as a £1, but hey ho, I will use it.
    Also in: 1x dove deo and 1x botanics face scrub. Neither of which were unnecessary, as I operate a one in and one out policy in these areas now :D
    Lush bunch of carrot bubble bar
    Lush bunny bubble bar - both belated birthday gifts from my sister :)

    Hope everyone is well :)
  • 1 UU today: Tresemme Split Remedy Leave in Treatment. Liked it, it does make my hair nice and shiny, but not sure I'd buy it full price again. Has lasted ages for such a little bottle though!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!

    I'm staying on the naughty step until my outs are bigger than my in's in a single month :o

    Me too!! By virtue of subscribing to 2 beauty boxes I probably will end up with a numb bum from a long naughty step stint in front of me.
