  • UU M&S spiced cranberry scrub. Was nice enough but not the kind of scent I'd choose for myself, it was a gift.

    Quiet on here today!

    So I picked up my TBS birthday freebie, although I am drowning in shower gels already I picked up one to match the recent free body butter so IN:

    15/27. TBS Cocoa Butter Shower Cream250ml

    I was very restrained, however, and didn't take up the offer of a half price one, even though it would only have cost me £1 - real progress for me!

    I also have some UUs:

    8/28. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Daily Shampoo 300ml
    9/29. Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Daily Treatment 300ml

    WMBA if on the great offer I picked these up on (£8 for a set including a serum). I already have a back-up set in the gift pile which I may bring over at some point. I've had a bit of a love/hate relationship with these - some days my hair loves it, others it feels quite weighed down and siliconey.

    I'm replacing these with Tigi 750mls, which will free up a lot of cupboard space, but will probably take up the vast majority of the shower caddy when I bring them out later. Cue annoyed DH when he returns from his business trip - and they won't be UU'ed anytime soon... :o

    Happy weekend everyone, and happy birthday VALM!

  • Cleared the empty tubes and tubs into the cycling this morning. (Saved the lush one to take back)
    I've got a spluttering tube of sanctuary hand cream. So hoping to lose that from the stash soon.

    Have a great Valentines weekend all and a great birthday VALM

    It's actually my birthday tomorrow however at work today I've received some lovely cards, flowers, money, gift cards and gifts. Haven't opened the gifts. After posting on the fave perfume thread I am seriously thinking of treating myself to a Jo Malone fragrance.

    Am at Trafford Centre tonight so will have a sniff at some and see.
    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!

    6x bath and bodyworks antibac hand sanitisers,
    raspberry meringue, cherry almond shortbread, cherry pinwheel, Malibu sunset, Caribbean escape and fresh strawberrys

    In my defence I used paypal funds .... these do smell lovely I wish we had a bath and bodyworks here.

    I really shouldn't but I have to ask you where you got these from? They don't seem to ship internationally and I never remember to look for a store when I'm in the US (probably not a bad thing!).
  • Thank you for your kind words, Sundaysgirl!

    Happy birthday for tomorrow VALM!

    DH is FINALLY back from his business trip.I asked if he could pop into CVS to pick me up one or two EOS (Evolution of Smooth) lip balms as I love them but they're 3 times the price to buy over here... Well he ended up getting my 7! Bless him! Here they are:

    EOS Lip Balm Blueberry Acai
    EOS Lip Balm Strawberry Sorbet
    EOS Lip Balm Summer Fruit
    EOS Lip Balm Honeysuckle Honeydew
    EOS Lip Balm Pomegranate Raspberry
    EOS Lip Balm Sweet Mint
    EOS Lip Balm Vanilla Mint

    One in - Benefit Roller Lash Mascara with ELLE purchase.
    Not sure what to expect - it is nice, lashes longer but not fuller which I need and like more.

    Some UUs will be reported soon!

    Happy birthday everyone who has had one recently :)
