    Yesterday I went and bought some hair dye and directly used it. Do you count this as an IN and OUT or do you just not count it at all? :D

    We call this a hokey cokey product (it's an in and out and shake it all about). Sorry couldn't resist. Won't give up the day job and will shut the door on my way out. :rotfl:

  • Yesterday I went and bought some hair dye and directly used it. Do you count this as an IN and OUT or do you just not count it at all? :D

    If I bought it to use in the next few days, I wouldn't call it an IN as it'll soon be gone. However, if the dye was on offer, say 3 for 2, I'd probably declare them as two will be sitting in my bathroom for a couple of months before they're gone. Does that make sense?! Probably not :D

    I have a UU

    Rimmell Lasting Finish Foundation 30ml; WBA, like this for everyday use. DD bought some last weekend and I noticed that a) the packinging has changed a bit and 2) her bottle looked a LOT lighter than mine, despite both being shade 100, so I may need to check to see if it's now too light. I also heard her say they're now doing a medium coverage in the same range too (white caps instead of red). Just thought you all might like to know :)

    Eta Kiwisaver, thank you for the top tip regarding the FAB pads, I'll give that a go tonight. I was getting cross as I felt that I was throwing half the product away with each pad, if you know what I mean?!
  • :rotfl: Well then I have 2 UUs today :T

    Hair dye by Schwarkopf Brillance: (I think that was the name) WBA since it's a non-permanent color and will wash out after 15 showers / washes.

    Calcium Nail Hardener by Fing'rs: WNBA since it's not hardening my nails ... actually they break off even more.. :eek:

    *Val's ears !!!!! up* Lush forum?? Where ?? Link please??
    http://forum.lush.co.uk/

    When you create an account they will never notify you that your account has been created so you need to remember your password. I think it used takes a couple of days to have your account created but I have no idea now. Lush have sort of disowned their own forum, it is not all positive.

    I may have ordered 4 pots of the joy of jelly (goes and sit on the naughty step)

    Black sands sugar scrub WMBA lovely scent but not really scrubby enough for me.

    Ah, do you know roughly how long it should take?

    Not sure, the last time they didn't arrive so I received a refund :T
    Received my BS order today - so 2 x shower gel and handcream to declare. Must admit really liking the Absinthe handcream (although I do have loads and I mean loads :o of the BS hemp handcream to use first) :o
    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 used to be a member of the forum but things seemed to change about 3 years ago and I haven't really been back since. I'll be buying one of each of the shower gels but that will be it (as I don't have a bath anymore)

    I won't bother joining then. It's not as if I don't have enough to read! At the moment as well as following this lovely thread I'm following threads on The Dibb, am signed up to so many Disney blogs it's unreal and have now joined WW online so need to keep tracking my points plus have joined the community there. Phew! I've had to delete my Farmville app cos I can't keep up with the virtual crops!! Must get out more, I hear you all say!

    Anyway back on topic. Have 2 more UUs:-

    Travel sized Aussie conditioner. WBA but not just yet. I think we still have some left.

    LE Skin Repair Moisturiser - this is the penultimate item on my PP list. Love this product but won't replace it for a while as I have a few sample sizes of moisturiser to work through. Hopefully by the time I need it there will be free P&P on offer.

    This leaves me with one item on my PP list : Urban Retreat Exfoliator which I'm going to have to cut open later as the tube's bending in the middle.

    Have a good day everyone. x

  • Budge up and make some room on the naughty step for me please Sam.4000 :D

    I have INs:

    6-8/196-198. Sanctuary Mela Amla and Cardamom Shower Drench 250ml - wholly unnecessary as I already have about 5 litres of shower gel but half price and 3 for 2 and I can't resist a Sanctuary bargain :o

    and a UU:

    21/231. Sanctuary Mande Lular Body Souffle 100ml - HG and WDBA once stash reduced.

    Ooohh are you going to Disney then VALM? (Sorry if you've already mentioned it, I'm not very good with keeping up with the forum!) We're going to Disneyworld for part of our honeymoon and I feel like it's taking over my life, what with all the blogs, videos and forums to read for research purposes!

    Re: the Lush forum - it used to be a lot more community based, there were the same old faces posting regularly, and then the scammers and trolls started and a lot of people left.

    My skin is currently freaking out due to hormones (well I'm hoping it's hormones and not the FAB Facial Radiance Pads I started using 2 weeks ago...)
