  • Quiet tonight, is everyone at the Boots Christmas Event:eek::eek: Two INs for me Timotei shampoos, very almost out so a much needed restock.

    My hands have been drying out so bad today, have been slapping the hand cream on like there's no tomorrow.
    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

    Not too much going on around here but have a UU

    Scandal Eyes Rockin’ Curves Mascara. WNBA – shame as I have another 1 to use. LOL.

    GA 3 no longer loved nail polishes, only used once. (not counted in figures)

    I have a LilyLolo finishing powder on the way to me, I have been very good and not bought anything from the mass of e-mails offering discounts/free postage/christmas specials etc:D

    Evening ladies. Another shower this morning and the Aussie conditioner still splutters on...........

    I'm feeling rather disheartened today. :( I'm also feeling the urge to splurge: Gok's Gorgeous range doesn't seem to be in Boots this year and I only have a very small amount of the body butter left. It has become my fave and I don't want to be without it.
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

  • PP List for this month:

    1) Bloody bottle of L'oreal cleanser that refuses to leave my life despite how little is in the bottle and how much I smoosh onto my face.

    This made me LOL:rotfl:
    We all must do it...I find this happens with sprays like leave in conditioner or volume spray. Doesn't seem to matter how empty it sounds you still have at least a fortnight left! I should be thankful but it just makes me:mad: haha

    Couple of UU:
    Hotel Chocolat Ti Jardin body lotion - this was a free gift with a box of chocs I ordered but WNBA. Decent enough lotion but smell was very overpowering.

    John Frieda full repair conditioner - don't mind this, would maybe buy again but nothing seriously special for my hair.

    I am also re-purposing a body product I just don't use.
    Dalmacija No 5 body mask - you're supposed to put it on all over your body 10-15 mins before a shower/bath and then wash it off but who's got time for that?! I certainly don't in the morning. It was a TK Maxx bargain which is why I bought it in the first place but it's being repurposed as an overnight foot cream so we'll see how that goes.
    Also re-purposing my BS coconut shimmer body butter as it's WAY too coconutty for a full body moisturise...you could smell me a mile off so I might use this as a foot cream too or just use on the bottoms of my legs rather than whole body.

    You must have been writing this when I was writing my post!
    Great minds think alike eh? :rotfl:
    I remember having an aussie leave in conditioner which did the same thing, I couldn't work out where all this product was coming from as it sounded empty! Very annoying!

    My aussie leave in conditioner has been going for about 2 years and shows no signs of being finished! Really want to try the Healthy Sexy Hair Soy one when it's eventually gone!

    Have a lot of things spluttering at the moment so should have a fair few UU's by the end of the month.

    Nivea Soft Moisturiser
    Lush Celestial Moisturiser
    Yvessaintlaurent nude lipstick
    Yvessaintlaurent highlighter (which has run out, I'm going to repurchase in January or look for a cheaper alternative, but at the moment I'm trying to see if I can 'deal' with my face without highlighter as that'd be easier!)
    Estee Lauder red lipstick
    Aussie Moist conditioner
    Pureology Super Smooth Shampoo
    Pureology Super Smooth Conditioner
    Tigi Oatmeal & Honey Conditioner

  • 2 more UUs this eve!

    Lush Sweetie Pie shower jelly. WDBA. I actually have another in my stash. This particular one was in a gift box bought for me by a friend and I love love love it. It smells like jelly babies and it's glittery *hearteyes*

    I pretty much never take showers (very much a bath person) but I use it in the bath to scrub up. Also who doesn't love jelly, right?

    AND

    Lush AquaMarina cleanser. Also WDBA. Also another in the stash. My favourite cleanser ever, but this may because I love seaweed-y things and this has bits of seaweed in it. My face always feels so CLEAN after.
