    Some UU's

    15ml Lacura Eye Cream MBA have others to use first.
    Mitchum solid AP/Deo stick WBA HG 2 in stock + 1 in overnight bag.
    2 Mascaras - I Bellapierre and 1 MUA WNBA, liked brushes to both, but not enough mascara came out somehow, so hard to get a balance, I hate gloopy ones that flood the brush, have opened a HG Lancome one:)

    IN's from BS 40% offer
    250ml Camomile Eye makeup remover. Needed
    50ml Hemp Face Protector - another buy in the quest to find a cream that does not sting when I have an excema break out on face (I have spent a fortune and keep hoping that the next one will "be the one" :rotfl:
    50ml Vitamin E cream - lovely surprise free gift at checkout:D

    I'm currently trying the Vitamin E cream it came in my advent calendar. My face if very dry/flakey at the moment due to the cold weather hoping this will work.

    Hi
    Sorry for being AWOL, that past couple of weeks I feel like a chicken without a head has had a quieter life than me. So glad to be breaking up tomorrow.


    I have used a fair few things up but also had a fair few ins, definitely more ins than outs. Will restart properly in the New year. My list is very outdated so will update when I get the chance.


    Hope everyone is well.

    Morning ladies.

    I have three uu today

    Sure Cool Pink AP Spray - this is a big can and has lasted ages as I only use a spray on days when I don't have time for roll ons to dry and gym days, this is very strongly scented which is why I like it for the gym.

    Elemis Tranquil Touch Shower Cream 50ml - WBA, one of my favourites, have replaced it with another mini bottle.

    Benefit That Gal Primer 7.5ml, this is OK but there are others I prefer so WNBA. I do have at least one more this size in the stash.

    Merry Christmas to you too kadison and Pickle!

    I have UUs:

    18/309. Dove Beauty Care Body Wash Go Fresh Cucumber and Green Tea 55ml - WBA though unsure if it's still availanble as this is a stash relic. Lovely fresh scent and good lather. Plenty of shower gels still stashed, however.

    19/310. L'Occitane Immortelle Brightening Hand Care SPF20 15ml - GWP ad WNB, didn't wow me and jury's still out on the Immortelle scent.

    I also have INs:

    11/227. Garnier 2-in-1 Eye Make-up Remover 125ml - so cheap and was needed. Quite like this so far so thanks again for the recommendation lankygirl!

    12/228. La Roche Posay Toleriane Ultra 2ml - freebie through the post!

    I forgot about my advent calendar ins today

    John Masters Organics Lavender Rosemary Shampoo 30ml
    John Masters Organics Citrus & Neroli Detangler 30ml

    I tried these after my spinning class this morning, my hair had been in a high ponytail and was a bit wild the detangler did a reasonable job, nothing ever detangles the frizz and curls completely, I get the best results with Philip Kingsley products.

    This reminded me of the conversation I had in John Lewis with the Elemis SA. If anyone is a lover of the Bath Elixir grab it now as it's being discontinued. Conversation came about when the SA was trying to sell me the Jasmine & Rose range. She said that it's actually quite nice if you mix the Frangipani with it.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

  • A little UU Gok body polish, wasn't scrubby enough for me. Day off tomorrow, think Ill scan though the Christmas goods and decide what Ill be going for in the sales:money: Will probably only get a bit of Lush and no Boots though as I over stocked last year:eek: What I really want is a nice warm coat:)
    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

    UU - FCUK – Polished Moisturising Bodywash
    WNBA – didn't really seem to do anything in the way of cleaning but that might just be because it was old as hell. Repurposed it as a bubble bath.

    Whoops. I might have bought a zillion Nivea sets on the glitch I found.
    Nivea – Creme Soft Shower Cream x 21
    Nivea – Refreshing Cleansing Wipes x 21
    Nivea – Soft Moisturiser x 21
    Nivea – Lip Essential Care
    Nivea – Pearl & Beauty Deodorant

    (Giving most of the lip balms and deodorants to a homeless shelter and keeping a few whole sets to give as gifts throughout the year.)
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.

    I have a uu

    Ren Vita Mineral Day Cream 15ml, WBA, this is really nice, it smells of geranium which I love and makes my skin feel very comfortable (I have combination skin but it does sometimes feel tight), this little tube lasted ages too. I have replaced it with Vichy Normaderm Global anti imperfection care - wow what a name.

    Today's advent in was a Benefit Porefessional. I will really miss this calendar.

    Glitch? What glitch?

    Very nice if you got them cheap, I am currently sorting toiletries and other things to give to our local Christmas Care place for the homeless.
