    BS glitch?! :o

    sorry everyone, been AWOL and only back on here :o
    I think fizz may have take advantage also ;) but the BS glitch was spend £5, get 40% off, free delivery and free gift. :)
    However, everyone who was asking stick around as BS glitches can be like buses :rotfl:
    My order hasn't arrived yet, but off the top of my head I ordered a LYB card - that came with a free shower gel, normal showergel and free handcream for £5.40 plus Quidco cashback :T
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    I did the same but my LYB card hasn't arrived yet. Anyone know how long they take? (They come separate to the rest of the order.)

    UU – Lush – Golden Wonder Bath Bomb
    UU – Lush – Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

    Obviously I didn't use both of these today but I seem to have used the candy mountain a while ago as I can't find it :P Candy Mountain was very sweet so probably WNBA.
    Golden Wonder was a beautifully golden sparkly thing with a blue block in the middle. The bath I had with it reminded me of a secluded lagoon and it was the most luxurious bath I've had in a while. WNBA as I prefer multiple use things rather than the one time only but I'd love to receive it as a gift again :)

    UU - No7 – Completely Quenched Moisurising Body Lotion *
    This was a small version that came in a gift set. It has a nice subtle scent and leaves my skin lovely and soft. WBA hopefully in another set after Christmas :)
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.

    No Buying Unnecessary Toiletries 2018 - Not going well!!

    That's the one! They very often have 40% off and free delivery, next time I spot it I'll be sure to give you all a [STRIKE]shout[/STRIKE] whisper. I didn't order any toiletries though, just oil for my aroma diffuser, they are lovely but I baulk at £4 each :o Sounds as though you got a proper bargain though Asset, plus you'll get 10% off future orders if I'm right?

    FizzWhizz - Not trying to tempt you but yesterday I noticed a good GWP offer on Estee Lauder at Debenhams, you get £10 worth of points on the beauty club card for a £50 spend too, it might be a good deal for you to get your eye cream.

    Bless you Dolly, thank you so much for thinking of me :A Alas and alack, I am super skint, I have been having big chats with my sis this weekend about savings/paying off our mortgages etc, she is so sorted when it comes to finances and I find her a real inspiration regarding getting my money in order so I'm redoubling my no-spending efforts. I'm currently using the Aldi eye cream for mature skin and whilst it's not a patch on the EL equivalent, it's the best cheapie I have found thus far :)

    I have a couple more uu

    Elemis Temple Balm - this is lovely when I have a headache, I already had another in the stash so have got that straight out.

    Body Shop Vitamin C Microdermabrasion - WBA, this is a lovely fine but effective face scrub, not rough but leaves my skin smooth and it smells good too.

    Just a quick post

    UU's
    So white bath ballistic WBA love this one, I have been saving my last few as it's one of my favourites.

    SBC 3 in 1 face wash WNBA I found it too soapy and ended up finishing it as a bathroom cleaner. Really like the pump bottle, so I will keep it and use it with another facial cleanser.

    Honestly I'm not enabling, but Lush are bringing out a So White shower gel for Christmas...

  • Some of my online shopping discretions were delivered today so I have two INS that were 20% off from Feelunique.

    Emma Hardie Moringa Balm - it's been on my wants list for over a year and now I'm coming close to the end of my Clarins Pure Melt, so I felt justified in replacing it with something new.

    Also finally got some First Aid Beauty Facial Radiance Pads that have been on the list for a while and seem to be calling out to me every time I see Caroline Hirons. :D

    One little UU to compensate Clarins Lisse Minute Line Correcting Guff . :D It was a GWP, I wouldn't buy it although quite happy to try any line correcting stuff I can get my hands on, just in case it might have some long term benefit I'm not yet seeing.

    Ooh, I got these too, they arrived on Thursday and I completely forgot :o Have used them every night since and am having a big breakout on my chin :( I'm not saying for a moment it's the pads to blame, it's just my stupid skin.

    They feel nice but they're very wet, I reckon I could cut one in half and still have enough product to do my whole face and neck.

    Afternoon ladies, I hope everyone is well. I have lots going on here at the moment including a kitchen makeover and the purchase of two flats for refurbishment and rental, so I am feeling super stressed. 10ppphk.gif

    My brother has also been staying with me for a week so I've only been checking in every now and then, but he went home on Saturday evening so I'm here to declare an in and a use up.

    The in was a £1.00 bargain from a charity shop last week, 150ml Avon Planet Spa Brown Sugar Body Scrub. The use up was a real long haul job from my Project Pan list back in March: 125ml Kuan Overnight Intensive Oil Control. This was a stash relic which must have been at least 10 years old and you can't buy it any more. It did absolutely nothing for my greasy hair and I'm glad it's finally all gone. I have a couple more full sized items spluttering so hopefully there will be some more use ups on the horizon!

    I will post my shampoo picture later tonight along with my shampoo stash list.... :o
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
  • Hi all !

    just caught up on this month, everyone's doing marvellous :T

    Moved into a new flat with boyfriend a couple of weeks ago and we don't have internet yet but I managed to borrow a dongle so I could get back onto MSE!

    New flat only has a shower so this will limit my hoarding a lot, no bubble bath or bath bombs for me ! :o

    Actually pleasantly surprised how small my stash is getting these days, worst area is perfume and a lot of these are on their way out!
    Currently using a body spray as air freshener in the bathroom.

    Hoping to get everything else used up by Christmas so santa can bring me new goodies to try :D
