    My pixies have only gone and made not one but two orders online tonight:rotfl: I have just found the email confirmations.

    They are clearly reaching epidemic proportions, isn't it lucky they have great taste?

    :rotfl: dippy - I never knew about the shopping pixie! Would explain a lot :rotfl:

    First UU for May - Ren reviving eye gel. A freebie that came from a magazine a while ago, but the bottle was too big for the sample, it was impossible to get just-the-right-amount out.

    Just caught up. I'm in for May, thank u for the new thread. One final UU from April, Imperial Leather Bewitched shower cream WBA. Totals for the month were 14 IN, 17 UU, not too bad.
    This is a bargain

    Benefit porefessional is £24.50 for 22ml in boots

    Elle magazine is £4 and has a free sample size which is 7.5ml so buy 3 of those for £12 and you have saved £12.50 and they are in a handy handbag size.

    It's the June edition

    Thank you so much for this! :T Hadn't spotted this one yet. I wasn't bowled over when I first used it a year or so ago but since then large pores have become a problem and now it's something of a HG. £6.50 incl postage is the cheapest I managed to get this size tube for from EBay last wk. Snapped three copies of Elle up this morn - this should be about six months worth I think. Tonnes more copies in local Tescos so might sneak a couple more. I craftily consider this makeup which I don't count in my stash :D Any advice on permanently shrinking oversized pores, if that's even possible, greatly received!

    Enjoy the rest of the long wknd those who are not working x

    Afternoon all

    The Pesky Purse Pixies are under lock and key this month after Aprils blow out for me! :o

    2 UU's to report so far from the PP list too :p

    Avon Hand & Nail Cream 100ml WBA but not for some time yet.

    Baylis & Harding Shower Cleanser 300ml WNBA but would use if gifted smelt nice in the bottle but was thick to the point of one lump of jelly or 2 and the bubbles and fragrence were gone once out of the bottle.

    The toothpaste, shampoo & conditioner still splutter on...

    Replaced my PC desk hand cream with old sun tan lotion to use up.

    Happy Bubbles all

    No UUs for May but a few ins to replace stock I'm running out of:

    2 x Boots double sided cotton wool
    Active nail polish remover
    L.A colours black nail polish - Saw a handy tip online about using this to cover scuffed heels.
    L.A colours clear mascara: Want to give clear mascara a go as I have quite long black eyelashes already and hopefully it will prevent mascara creasing on my eyelids when I blink.

    im in again didn't post much last month as only had a couple of uu.


    Valm AA is Aromatherapy Associates and is in Marie Claire and is a Skincare Set (cleanser, face mask and moisturiser).


    I am so glad for my stash at the moment I have a fur baby who has allergies and I have spent over £300 on him in the last month and now he has to have blood tests to find out what he is allergic to so that is going to cost me about £260 this week because he has to have 2 injections and some tablets as well, and then when they get the results back he has to have an injection every 2 weeks then every 3 weeks then every month for the rest of his life so he is going to cost me a fortune never mind he is worth it.


    I used an Elemis tri-enzyme mask yesterday and it set my face on fire within 30 seconds as this ever happened to anybody else?

    Thank you lily, I've now been out and see this mag. Don't really want to try any other skincare so did not bother. Also did not bother with the Porefessional or Nails Inc colours.

    Did let the purse pixies loose in Trafford Centre though even though MrM was standing guard!

    In Lush I bought:-

    Porridge soap
    Dirty soap
    Honey I Washed the Kids soap
    2 x May Day bath bombs
    1 x Honey Bee bath bomb
    pot of cupcake mask

    All items for us to share as a family but I'm really looking forward to trying the May Day bath bomb.

    Was good in JL and only got the vouchers I went in for.

    Then went into Boots. Emma has been asked to try the Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturiser for very oily skin so I took her in Boots and got one of the trial packs of cleanser/toner/moisuriser plus some anti blemish gel to try.
    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!

    lilly, I use the tri-enzyme resurfacing wash occasionally and it's potent stuff, I wouldn't recommend it for sensitive skins. I pat it off with a flannel rather than rub as even that can leave my face rather red and angry afterwards. As a result, I didn't try the rest of the range.

    Make sure you use a good sunscreen today and probably tomorrow as the tri-enzyme range heightens sun sensitivity. I hope your face calms down soon!
