Some ins:

2 x glamglow from you beauty box

Free magazine subscription gift.

And some outs:

L'Oreal everriche conditioner - WMBA this didnt weigh down my hair - I have a few more conditioners to get through before I need more.

Original Source lime shower gel - WBA this was used by DD it used to be my favourite but started to irritate my skin, she still loves it though.

Soap & Glory clean on me shower gel - A PP has been slayed - this was another favourite but overindulgence has left me bored with the fragrance. Sadly I have more in the stash but WNBA.

The UUs feel slow this month and still have a lot of goodies from the sales in stock:money: howevera UU to report Ted Baker shower gel the one with flowers on, think I prefer this to butterflies WBA.

ENABLING POST FOR POLISH LOVERS

Sally magpies is having a 50% off sale with code SNAP. Suffice to say if I counted polish in my stash I would be on the naughty step for some time!

Always makes me giggle... It's always the usual suspects thanking enabling posts!! Just as well I don't count polish as stash either. Not that I am likely to be leaving the naughty step anytime soon

I have the Leighton Denny one which I find pretty good, but for me the HG's of HG are Seche Vite (can shrink back from tips a little and be noticeable on dark colours), Poshe or Nails Inc Caviar Top Coat, (all paint on) I search around for good deals and readily confess to stockpiling any/all of these when I find a bargain:j I think ValM prefers one of the Essie ones.

I have a little spiral bound notebook where I list by make and then cross reference to colour, with a little swatch of the colour, which I used to keep in my handbag:o:o:o, now I live in the sticks it is about 2 years out of date, but when I have finished my spread sheets, I think I will go back and update it, great for comparing colours to avoid too many duplications/near dupes:eek:

Yes, I prefer the Essie Good to Go top coat. Was very naughty last night and nibbled all my nails down to nothing and a couple of them even feel sore today. Don't know why I do this every so often. The today realised that I can't find my Leighton Denny glass file anywhere which is really annoying. Have painted my nails with OPI Pink Envy. The colour reminds me of Tickle my Francey. I only have a mini bottle of this however don't think I'd buy a full sized. When I was searching for this bottle earlier I tidied up all my minis by putting them back into the original boxes they came in. I had toyed with the idea of getting rid of the boxes altogether but if I do won't have a clue what the colours are called.

I spent some time this morning sorting out all my sample and gwp sized pots of skincare, it seems that apart from serum, I have enough of everything for the rest of this year (so that means I cannot have the Gatineau TSV right?)

You do use Gatineau a lot though don't you maddimay? It depends how good a bargain this is to you. I don't tend to watch the Gatineau TSVs as I have only ever loved one of their products that I've tried so don't know how much variation there is in them. For me the Elemis TSvs can easily be missed as they all tend to have PCMC in them and I usually have a stock pile of these.

Hello ladies, I'm baaaack!

We had the most perfect wedding day, it literally could not have gone better even in our wildest dreams (thank you all so much for the lovely messages, I briefly had a chance to read some of them the day after the wedding, before we left for honeymoon, and your kind words made me cry happy tears all over again!). Followed up by a fabulous honeymoon - arrived back a few days ago and I'm feeling so sad to be back.

I have soooo much catching up to do with you lovely lot, so I've just made a cuppa and I'm about to make a start on reading back - it may take me some time, so apologies if I go quiet again for a while. In the meantime, I hope you're all well; hope everyone enjoyed the bank holiday weekends and I'm sending belated hugs / birthday wishes / happy holidays where needed

I'll leave you with my UUs:

85-86. Garnier Ultimate Blends Sleek Restorer shampoo and consitioner sachets 8ml each - WMBA, left my hair feeling soft but hard to tell after only a few washes.

87. Nivea SPF10 200ml - WBA, nice application and protected well.

88-90. Soltan SPF15 75ml x 3 - WMBA, lots left in the stash and whilst it's a great travel size I find that it goes a bit gloopy sometimes when applied.

91. Garnier Ambre Solaire SPF6 200ml - WBA, this is my go-to sun care, like the consitency and absorption etc.

92. Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Body Butter 200ml - WBA but lots left in stash, love the smell and consistency.

93-94. TBS Rainforest Volume Shampoo and Conditioner 60ml - WDNBA, these were freebies but left my hair sooo tangled. Think I may have others left in stash

95-96. John Frieda Frizz Ease Miracle Mask 25ml x 2 - WMBA - needed to remedy the damage from TBA items!

97. Boots Nail Polish Re,over Pads x 15 - WMBA, good for travels. A real stash relic!

98. No7 Completely Quenched Body Lotion 40ml - WMBA, pleasant scent and consistency.

99. Elemis Frangipani Monoi Body Oil 35ml - WMBA as a treat, took advantage of the hot weather on holiday to use this as no need to faff melting it before use! Really lovely scent (lots of people commented on it) and great for sun-frazzled skin.

100. FCUK Signature body butter 200ml - WMBA, love the scent but prefer the consistency of other ones, this is really thick.

101. No7 Blissful Body Wash 40ml - WMBA, nice enough.

102. Dove Pro-Age Nourishing Body Wash 500ml - WMBA, nice scent and good value.

103. No7 Radiance Boosting Hot Cloth Cleanser 200ml - WMBA but am in love with the Elemis balm for now.

104. L'Occitane Divine Cream 3ml - WMBA, have a full size to use first.

105-106. Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel 15ml x 2 - WMBA, lovely scent and leaves my skin feeling very soft, but I have lots of masks to use first.

107. Colgate Interdental toothpaste 15ml - WMBA, did the job.

108. Philosophy Purity Made Simple cleanser 90ml - WBA, HG, others in stash.

I've been good and avoided duty free so no bought INs, just a few freebies / trial items:

87. Oral B 3D white luxe toothpate 15ml
88-90. Scholl Velvet Smooth Intense Serum 30ml

Also had a bit of a fail when I started to pack for honeymoon - opened my suitcase to find a bag stuffed with 15 sun care items bought late last year! I have adjusted my numbers but not counted as INs.

Whew - sorry for the long post!

Hello Sundaysgirl glad you had a lovely wedding day :T
Went into Lidl yesterday and bought the 1/2 price Madame Suddenly perfume, day cream and moisturiser but have given them away to BF's sister for birthday (as well as some chocolates too).

I have 3 INS - from the Glamour subscription, 3 issues for £1 plus subscription gift!! Well it would be rude not to ...:rotfl:

Hi All,

Been lurking a little this month. Only one out so far for May but I've a few splutterers - S & G BB Cream - GA to my mum as she needed something with SPF in it. A few IN but fairly low spends so ok -
Imperial Leather Soft Touch Shower cream
Percy & Reed No Oil Oil - ultimate HG
I Love....Coconut & Cream Bubble Bath & Shower Creme - not strictly needed but at 79p for 500ml and smelling gorgeous in the bottle it's definitely worth a try
Also got the Aromatherapy Associates freebie with Marie Claire from Tesco so at the reduced price - felt like a non calorific treat so this was a cheap way to fulfil the urge!

Lovely to hear about the wedding/honeymoon being fabby, sundaysgirl


I have no UU I may be back on the naughty step tomorrow as I have a decorator coming in (well it's actually my father in law to be lol but he is a decorator by trade) to do our livingroom and I'll only get in the way if I'm sat about the house so may have to go into town
