  • :)Kadison my old work mate swore blind by this mouth/gum shield guard thing off QVC for her husband. Might be worth a try if you haven't tried one already.

    Have a great weekend all
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    I have another uu

    Molton Brown Heavenly Gingerlilly Bath & Shower Gel 50ml, as lovely as this is I don't think I would pay their prices for shower gel again, except the eucalyptus one maybe. I used this as bubble bath and it smelt lovely. I have 10 more mini bottles of various scents to use so that should make a bit of a dent in the stash.

    hi ladies,hope you have a better week than me! Lots of problems with Monarch,BT,Ebay and my car failed the MOT costing me £500!!!!DH just gone off for a massage....my manicure had to be cancelled due to no car yesterday and they cannot now fit me in before my holiday....this is costing me £145 more than it should due to monarch taking my money and then saying error and putting the price up as last cheaper seats gone...still waiting for them to contact me as well as BT who took a week to fix fault, did not turn up for the appointment and then did not call back as promised!!!!finally just had a second bid in 5 days cancelled on ebay due to seller saying no longer available. I think this is a con and happens a lot when they don't want to sell for a low bid.
    ok moan over :)
    apart from dying my hair I have not had any uu this week but also have not bought anything

    Rosemary, what a grim week, I hope that some of the problems are resolved for you soon.

    Some UU's at last:)

    2 mascara Bellapiere lashbuilding and Miss Manga, probably WNBA, still working way through stash to find the impossible!, one which seperates, does not clog or shed bits onto my face and does not turn into a claggy mess after one week:( If I was wealthy I would be tempted to open a new mascara every week:rotfl:

    Hydraluron, WBA have just one left to start using today.

    Avon Glimmerstick for Brows. WBA if I could get a good colour match, difficult now grey haired, lots of the blonde/taupe ones are too red.

    Emma Hardie Eye Serum, liked this and as it is quite fluid it lasted for ages, but they have reformulated and need to try it sometime.

    4 small sized shampoo, conditioner, shower gel and body lotion from my hols which I will add to my July totals.

    Some IN's due to be delivered soon:(, any room on the naughty step?

  • Some UUs this month, not many but i'm getting there :)

    Original source cranberry and honey daily scrub, nice enough but i have plenty of scrubs to get through

    Wilkos sweet vanilla foam bath, far too strong a scent for me so i won't buy it again

    Monuspa bath oil, i'm not a fan of ginger and it was a beauty box in

    Laura Mercia vanilla souffle, this stuff is gorgeous and i really like it but it's far too expensive for my budget

    avon salon therapy for dry and damaged hair - great stuff but i get so much for xmas i won't be buying any in a hurry

    la roche posay redemic face cream, it's not for me, i loved some other LRP products but this one didn't show any benefits
  • I found another UU, aromatherapy associates bath oil, lovely smell but i just don't like oils so much.
    I also used a soap bar and finished a whole bottle of nail polish remover which is a first for me

    Some in's from freebies and BB's
    mango and manderin hand cream by figs and rouge
    pantene expert age defy shampoo and conditioner

    not too much in this month so i'm not concerned any my numbers going up too much

    Evening all. Hope you have all had a good summer. I had a great holiday, I hate long haul flights but have loved everywhere I have visited.

    Welcome newbies

    Sorry to here about your house tifanyjane

    Sorry to hear about your cat Willow.

    Kadison, Great to hear that everything is going well.

    I am totally lost on INS and OUT this month, my list has not been updated for 7 weeks so I will sort it out ready for September.

    I did use up alot of sample sized products and a friend had my fake tan stuff before I went.

    I did buy 6 hand sanitisers which I dragged my mom all around San Francisco to find the Bath and Bodyworks shop.
    I only managed to buy 2 Lush items, one in New Zealand because they have Christmas in July so I managed to bag a shower jelly that they have not done in the UK for years even though it was made in the UK. I did also pick up a chunk of Big solid conditioner in America as it is cheaper than the UK.
    I did pick up some sample shampoo, conditioners e.t.c. but won't declare them till my sister comes up next weekend and decides what she wants.

    I have been on a bit of a shopping spree saince I have returned and have a couple of beauty boxes and an order from origins to arrive. I quit smoking 5 weeks ago and so far have managed to resist them which is the longest I have gone without them for 18 years so I am not worried about a few parcels.

    Poor you rosemary, hope you have a lovely holiday and that things improve for you soon.

    Glad you had a great holiday sam, nice to see you back :) Bet your trip was amazing!

    1 more out:

    227: L'oreal argan oil conditioner - WNBA, didn't really like this, it didn't feel moisturising at all.

    UU's -

    Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Cream - Would Use Again as part of a set, but not necessarily go and buy on its own.

    Batiste Dry Shampoo Brunette - WMBA, have a love/hate relationship with Batiste!!


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.
