I was so tempted by the British Beauty Blogger Dream box, for once virtually all the products would have been used by me, but have just found that it is sold out, probably a good thing really as it would have made my totals look dreadful.

I really wanted this too Maddiemay - I heard that it sold out in 24 hours or so :eek:

Excellent explanation there Willowbee

maddiemay - I had a look at the Bloggers box and was tempted for a while, then I thought about it and decided I didn't need any nail polish as I have a variation of every colour going and what if the eyeshadow palette was unsuitable as you couldn't choose and couldn't see the variations as far as I could see just the names. There were a couple of things I fancied one being the Kniepps but I could buy that on its own for a lot less.

This and the You box are the only things which have remotely tempted me in months. QVC are missing me apparently and have sent a code for £10 off a £30 spend, I have looked on the site with no real intention of buying anything but I have sooooo much stuff there is just nothing I want.

I thought the same about the blog box as you couldn't choose the shades so could end up with things you wouldn't use. I am glad that it has sold out, for my purse's sake!

You are doing so well dolly. It's really inspiring.

I have a GA (to OH) of a Sure Cool Blue roll-on deo, it brought me out in a rash, think I have another one, so will look it out and pass it over.

1 IN - Paul Mitchell Heat Seal 250ml, this is a necessary purchase as I am collecting today a Babyliss 42mm Big Hair Styler, I am hoping that this will enable me to get a bit more volume in my chin length bob, I have a good cut, but would like it to have a bit more oooomph when I style it myself. It poured with rain while I was walking home from town, hair now looks very tatty, but will wait until later to shower and wash it again, so I can play with new styler.

A few things spluttering which will finish in next week or so, but like others, I think it will be a poor June, must try hard to keep the IN's low.

AND
Good news about the Aldi Eye Cream, I will look to try that at some stage, I think I have enough for June and July though.

I too, love the REN Frankincense Night Cream for winter and WBA for then.

I should be able to squeeze 2 or 3 applications from my last 7ml of EL Advanced Night Repair (mine is the old formula and I might try to pick a sample size up from e-bay before I chance buying the new one (don't live near to an EL counter:()

Oooh! Do let us know how you get on with your new Babyliss styler Very exciting :j

I have to confess that I bought the British Beauty Blogger box. My totals for this month have been ruined! I've had one of my best months in terms of UU but one of my worst for INs as I also bought the YOU beauty box I also think I'm going to have a very slow June as my best splutterers have finished...

Dolly - I'm slightly reassured to read that you were unusually tempted by these boxes as well. :T :T :T for resisting whilst I failed. I wondered if making lists and concentrating on toiletries again has somehow made me more susceptible to these offers! (I had been doing well at ignoring sales and the like) Or maybe my good (for me) rate of UUs meant that I felt a stronger need to buy something? Now I think they were just offers that seemed particular good (to me - all in the eye of the beholder) I will do better from now on!

Off topic. Is anyone in Glasgow? I feel so sad about the fire at the School of Art. It's the first time I've cried over the loss of a building. (I felt silly but couldn't help it.) Thank goodness everyone got out safely. I can't imagine how they are going to restore it though And the poor final year students that have probably just lost their degree shows :(

I know!!! All the Bank Holiday deals are making my head spin. I'm telling myself that they will all come around again...:rotfl:

I'm finding the PP list to be a great motivator this month, I've just had a "big" shower and I was desperate to open my new pot of Rituals body butter so I can smell extra yummy, but I've managed to resist in the hope of getting this Jergens moisturiser UU. I'm duly slathered and the seal remains intact on the butter

I'm sure I meant to say something else but I've had a couple of ciders already and I've forgotten it'll come back, I'm sure…!

moromir

Anyone know of any really good offers/GWP's at the moment?

Sorry to enable but its my mum's birthday shortly and I want to get some stuff but I also want to get as much as I can for her 'budget' :P

There's an Estee Lauder GWP available in Boots, with two purchases (one of which has to be skincare or foundation, I think)

Lippy, nail polish, kohl pencil, eyeshadow quad, moisturiser, advanced night repair (swoon!) and a makeup bag, if memory serves. This ends today.
