Never got round to declaring a couple of INs last week, not very exciting but needed...

Right Guard Total Defence 5
Vaseline Active Fresh compressed

Hi ladies,

Hope everyone is safe in the bad weather.

The hiding of parcels made me chuckle and is something I can relate to myself :rotfl:

Congratulations on becoming debt free Seaside Dreamer - amazing and well done you!

I have been reading the past week or so but haven't had time to post. Hope everyone is well. I am feeling pretty fed up today, just one of those days I think.

I have lost track a bit of my INS and OUTS. Think this is where I was up to:

OUTS:

135 - Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo 200ml
136 - 138 - 3 eyeshadows
139 - 1 highlighter
140 - 1 bronzer
141 - Aromatherapy Associates Relax Mind 3ml

Can't remember the specifics of the make up items. I did a car boot sale recently and picked a few things out of my stash on the day to get rid of. Might have missed some things off but those are the ones I can remember. I also managed to shift a lot of other make up items I had already put aside to be sold at a car boot. Going to do another one soon as still some things left plus I'm sure there is still a lot more I can get rid of.

Now for the INS:

134 - Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo 200ml
135 - Fudge Raspberry & Vanilla mousse 213ml
136 - L'Oreal Ever Riche Conditioner 250ml
137 - Lancome Hypnose mascara 2ml
138 - Lancome Eye Contour gel 5ml
139 - Lancome Hydra Zen Moisturiser 15ml

Most of the above were needed INS due to recent UU or current splutterers. The Lancome items were a free GWP when I ordered a lipstick from Debenhams. Never tried any Lancome before!

I will shortly have another very naughty IN to declare of a NARS eyeshadow palette :eek: cheer myself up purchase which was very unnecessary

August has not been good as I've been comfort shopping due to work/personal issues. I hope that now that I've taken a few days off work I'll feel better and not feel the need to buy more:

UUS:

NYC Starry Glitter nail polish: Adds a nice finish on top of coloured nail polish but has a very strong chemical smell. Won't be buying a replacement as I've got to get my nail polish stash down.

Montagne Jeunesse Vit C and Orange Oil face mask: WNBA, very sticky and hard to spread on my face. Unfortunately, it came in a back so have more to finish.

BS Vanilla hand cream

Weleda skin food

Superdrug contact lens drops: WNBA, not as lubricating our moisturising as Boots own brands as it does not allow me to remove my contacts easily. Have another one to use as it was bought in a special offer.

INS:

Received the first of my Birch boxes from my lovely friend to cheer me up. The products are very small so would not pay full price for the subscription but very appreciative of the gifts. Also came in a handy pouch, which I can re-use.

Benefit The Professional pore cream
Whish Lavender body butter
Balance Me eye cream
Laqa & Co lip lube pencil
Number 4 Non aerosol hairspray
Chia co shots

Will have more to declare with recent Regis and Superdrug orders

I have some ins

Imperial Leather Calm Bubble Bath
Imperial Leather Field of Dreams Bubble Bath
Imperial Leather Bubble Bath Peach nectar & something
Right Guard Shower+oils
Right Guard Total Defence 5 APD
Right Guard Total Defence 5 APD unscented
Right Guard Extreme 72hr
No7 Nourishing Nail & Cuticle Care

I used a £3 No7 voucher for the No7 so that cost £3, then I used points for the other items, the bubble baths were all £1, the Total Defence 5 £1.49 each and the other right guard £1 so with the shower oil added on it was 897 points. Seeing as I have hardly spent anything since Christmas I feel OK about this. I also have a Regis order which should be arriving next week too.

Today I found Yankee Candles at 40% off the summer fragrances so I got a small Beach Flowers, a medium True Rose and a large Pink Hibisccus.

You are doing so well dolly! My nails are a mess at the moment, might look into that no7 cuticle stuff myself.

Just saw that Urban Decay will shortly be releasing a Naked Basics 2 palette - must not buy!!

asset2004

Have 2 INs but they were free and will be going straight into the tombola/raffle box - 2 gift boxes, free with the £10 from 02 from The Fragrance shop.

I've also cut off the end of my Olay eye cream, still loads in it

Hi ladies, not had a chance to catch up yet so hope all are well.

My UUs:

11/192. Bumble & Bumble Grooming Creme 7ml - WNBA, wighed down my fine hair. A real stash relic!

12/193. Sanctuary Body Scrub 50ml - WBA but no need just yet.

13/194. Sanctuary Relax Coccooning Body Butter 100ml - WDBA, love the scent and consistency, but several more stashed.

And more Regis INs:

11/172. Tigi Bed Head Self-Absorbed Conditioner 750ml
12-13/173-4. Tigi Catwalk Headshot Shampoo & Conditioner 750ml

Just placed another order as realised I now have loads more conditioner than shampoo!

Hi all, I'm new to this thread and to be honest I don't understand any of the abbreviations you're talking about. UU's, IN's etc

I really need to stop buying unnecessary toiletries. I mainly use Elemis (QVC), Liz Earle(QVC), Galvin and Galvin (amazing hair brand and only £4 each in Morrison's) but with a lot of etc's added on. I know I spent too much and I know that money would be better off paying my debts. Problem is there is just something about shiny new cosmetics. On Friday I brought two new Rimmel colours, Bewitch and Seduce, I tried them on and neither suit me. So what do I do with them now? I've also got 3 boxes of hair dye that are too dark for me and about 3 drawers of products I either forgot I have or I buy on a whim.

My goal is to not buy anything else this month. This weekend has been terrible. I'm awful if I'm left on my own and as my partner works every other weekend that happens a lot. I've brought:
-3 hair dyes (used one, but others are too dark)
-Brazilian Hair Therapy Serum (only because it smells amazing and is reduced in Superdrug to £3.39)
-Body shop Mountain Rose teeny perfume (smelt lovely in the shop but has a jasmine edge that gives me a headache!)
-Body shop hair masque.

So I'd love to join this thread and check the spending in check.
:cool:
