    Soap and Glory hand food - Out - it had gone off! had been smelling iffy for a while (very cheap and nasty), but it died a death today had separated:(
    Sad as it's usually my favourite, but then I have this bad habbit of losing them and then finding them so could be several years old! :o!

    Always feel like I must sound like a broken record but find the S&G hand cream goes off really quickly :mad: and when it does it smells awful.
    Been trying to get the free McD's ice drink, has anyone got it to work :o been singing along and my % is dropping each time :o

    I have finished another month with no ins whatsoever, that's 4 in a row now, it just goes to show how much stuff I have as I think I may only need a stick or aerosol deodorant and maybe shampoo this year.

    Finishing off May with a few UU

    dove antiperspirant deodorant it was the aerosol - think I've commented before that I feel they are not as cost effective as roll ons and I don't feel as effective as keeping me smelling fresh so WNBA for time bring. However it is often the aerosols that are on offer!

    clean and clear face wash this is a stash relic - I remember having it at least 4 years ago!!! I thought it was ok but better ones out there for me so WNBA

    sachet of garnier moisture match for oily skin was ok but as I don't really have oily skin WNBA

    sachets of garnier ultimate blends shampoo and conditioner full size in stash to use - was fine but not the best shampoo and conditioner I've ever used.

    I went off the rails on one visit to boots to get sun cream so have had a few unnecessary ins. Hoping for no ins in June apart from much needed hair dye and possibly a deodorant

    Well done everyone!

  • Well I am selling my dr jart bb on ebay. I only used it to test. The reviews on boots said it was for pale people but they lied. It's about 10 shades too dark :( I hope to at least get £5 for it as it wasn't cheap.

    It's so dark and a weird consistency that I don't even think it would mix with my white foundation :(

    The hunt for a summer face product continues...

    Which hot cloth cleanser have you started using? I have some Liz Earle in my stash and do really like it but really could do with finding a cheaper alternative.

  • Just popping in to announce the last UUs of the month. I've only had one IN all month so very proud! :A

    UU

    Aldi Lacura Cotton wool pads 100 - these are ace! Much better than the pricer other supermarket/bodycare brands. I think these are on a par with the Boots ones. WDBA and have opened the other one of the twinpack

    Sanctuary Body Lotion 250ml - This was really lovely, but I have so much Sanctuary stuff I think I'm getting slightly..bored! Sacrilege I know! WMBA, but I have more lotion and butters in the stash so will see when I get to the end of those!

    It's been really light on the UU front this month, I hope the splutterers I have will finally give up the ghost next month

    I love the Sanctuary one, it's about £10 but normally on some sort of offer, 3 for 2 at the moment in Boots, hth :money:
