  • Welcome back willowbee.

    Belated birthday wishes nillionaire.

    Great review mcculloch - will try to remember your words when the product is winking at me in Boots and resist.

    Most of my PP are still going strong and will see me well into next month.

    30 ebay outs
    No more buying toiletries
  • Kadison - can totally empathise, ebay people drive me nuts!

    1 UU today - LOreal colour conditioning shampoo. Think it must have come out of an old Feria dye box, not as nice as the conditioners I've got with other dyes.

    another UU last night
    boots royal jelly bath creme. was a mothers day gift, smelt gorgeous (if you like honey) and lots of bubbles.

    managed 4/5 of my april PP list the charlie blue perfume still has about 1cm lurking in the bottom of the bottle in reality i think it will last another couple of months if i use it every day.

    I actually replied saying I was sorry, but only half of the message came through, so could she please resend? Subtext being 'with all the missing letters this time' :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • Two INs courtesy of mum taking me shopping, so didn't cost me anything, plus didnt realise my stash here had barely any shampoo left. Found several million litres of body washes and lotions though...
    INs are Herbal Essences Colour shampoo and conditioner.

    Two outs to even it up though, sent two Beauticology minis (a lotion and a scrub) to a friend for her birthday. Opened the cherry body wash from this set yesterday and it smells like a bakewell tart!!

  • 1 UU, & Other Stories Carnival Couture hand cream. WBA, this smelt lovely. I kept it at work and so many people would walk by and ask what the lovely smell was! Really low on hand creams now. Wondering whether to use up a face moisturiser as hand cream... Is that cheating?
    No more goo hoarding!

    there was a thing in the paper (daily mail) a couple of weeks ago where they used hand creams as face creams and compared the ingredients and prices. it basically said they were as good but usually cheaper.
    its whatever works, i use body wash and shower gel as bubble bath and creams often get used on another part of the body to what the label instructs.
