    Ok, I think I'm on the naughty step all month!

    OH bought me Clinique CC cream and mild cleanser yesterday

    Then In boots today he bought me 2 x boots botanics serums (different ones) Toni and guy conditioner for normal hair (I had the shampoo already) seventeen flawless pore less primer, seventeen skin wow primer and a seventeen graffiti nail polish.

    Then he was buying from elemis and I wanted their ginseng toner, he got me a duo pack with cleanser too and I'm getting the GWP as there wasn't a male GWP

    Since I've been so naughty (through him, technically I didn't buy) I thought it wouldn't make much difference so made a lush order too (this I paid for myself, lol) all bombs and bubble bars (can't remember how many but about £40 worth)

    I think I'm incurable
    It's not your fault most were gift from your OH and the shopping pixies thought you would like some bath bombs and bubble bars.
    [STRIKE]I am[/STRIKE] sorry the shopping pixies are still trying to decide if they really need to buy and more bathos (bubble bar and my favourite that is going to be available on Wednesday). I might already own 9 of these and may have 59 bubble bars already but since they no longer stock them I do believe a few more could be a good idea. I will try and get the shopping pixes trained though so they might be on their best behaviour by Wednesday but I have my doubts:rotfl:

    maddiemay - Ooh thanks for that tip! I'll have to search some satin pillow cases down (I know if I went for scarves I'd end up wearing them instead!). My ex always had satin bedlinen (fancy eh!) I wish I'd paid more attention to if it made any difference to my hair, all I remember is the quilt used to slide off the bed lol!

    sam.4000 - Thats great I'm definitely going to order one give it a go :) Thankyou!

    I put in my Avon order today, a facemask slipped in 75p instead of £5! I couldn't resist....(well 2 got ordered but ones going straight in the Avon box to go as a freebie!)

    Back from my birthday weekend away with 3 INs...
    - Benefit Porefessional (the mini one from Elle). Always wanted to try this and couldnt resist for £4!
    - handcream in Lemon Bon Bon flavour - a gift to add to my handcream stash.
    - lip balm in Earl Grey flavour. Also a gift!

    Also had a shower gel mini from the hotel we stayed at but gave it to the OH as it was a bit too masculine smelling for me so not counting it.

    Returned from Birmingham, the pixies were trying their best to entice me towards the naughty step but I thwarted them the only way I know how. I went to MAC and bought 2 eyeshadows which, very conveniently, I don't count in my stash ;) I got Brun to fill in my brows as the current colour I'm using is a tiny bit too warm and a tiny bit too light, and I got Woodwinked just because it's SOO pretty. It has a cool greeny tinge in the pan but applies as a gorgeous gold with a pinky undertone on me.

    £25 lighter but I will use both of these to death, I'm sure *my excuse, sticking to it* :D

    Savvy anti purse pixie moves there. Mega impressed by your prowess x

    He's not normally, just he's had a few bonuses lately and he doesn't shop much lol so I think by getting me stuff too it eases the 'luxuries' shopping guilt in his head haha

    UU no3/ and it's one from the PP: elemis (something) flowers lip and eye make up remover WDNBA didn't purchase through choice anyway as was part of a set but was horrid greasy stuff. I persevered as it was only a small bottle though

  • UU's woohoo!

    Lush ultrabland cleanser, wnba, i found it too hard to get off my face

    Lush cosmetic warrior, wnba, it may be brilliant but using it once a week is just bringing me out in blemishes.

    Anew reversalist night cream, wmba, it's the only night cream I've ever used so i can't compare it to anything, i didn't have any reactions to it and my skin was soft by the morning.

    Got some in's from a free birchbox but i've either eaten them or giving them away so not counting.

    Really skint this week i've got DD and DH aswell as car tax and wedding money to go out so i doubt i'll have any in's

    Hello all...

    In's- bought Marie Clare mag & in style mag so the freebie travel set & nails inc orange for toes :)

    UU- list...

    radox shower gel- white one. WBA when on deal, ok for £1

    Champneys shower scrub- green one can't remember the name. It's ok, I have another 2 in stash but prefer a scrubbier scrub.

    Lush face wash- again green one. WNBA as it smelt too much like grass/ greeness next to my nose :( I didn't like it although effect is good.

    2 sachets of flexitol skin balm only feet and hands, great stuff have a few more sachets of this to go...

    I sample of clarins dehydration moisturiser WMBA as it is very good have another two samples of the lotion to try so will decide from there..,

    Imperial leather foam burst shower gel... Love these.. WBA

    A few sputtering items so maybe a few more buy the end of the week :)

    Hope everyone is well. I had microdermabrasion on Sunday and my skin feels great :) hopefully the cream from doctors will help the rest of the stops clear up now...

    Fingers crossed :)
