    It was at Boots last week - not sure if still continues. That's how I got mine too.
    Usual price is £14.50 and offer is £9.45 I think.

    Also, try this

    Thank you muchly! I shall take a look at the links now. I just want to get through it and it be over.

    I find the "That Gal" primer to be the best of the benefit ones and I'd never had a problem with it before. Maybe it'll work for you as well!

    I'll try to get a sample size in maybe the boots christmas sets later this year to see if I'll like it but thanks!

    One UU

    11. Good things total wipe out cleansing wipes (super fruit extracts raspberry and cranberry)- Thought these were makeup removal wipes but luckily I used them in the morning before applying my makeup as sometimes my eyes and skin feel very dry. The liquid in the products help soothe it. Wipes are good and very thick. WBA sometimes in the future but for now I'm going to use my Morrisons baby wipes as they'll do the job for a fraction of the price and it won't feel like I'm wasting wipes in the morning (they're thinner and a bargain 72 wipes for 46p or so) or I may purchase the 3 for £1 wipes that you get in bodycare.

    3 ins for me as its my birthday month but not overly excited about the products as I thought I would be...

    1) Mac Twig lipstick
    2)Mac Brave
    3) Mac soar lipliner

    They're good quality but I've realised I'm a drugstore girl...drugstore products these days are giving mid end/high end products a run for their money.

    Hello

    I've UUed Cafe de Bain shower creme - WNBA really sickly sweet smell. I need something a bit sharper to wake me up in the morning.

    As it's my birthday month, I've decided to treat myself every time I use something up by selecting a PRCP-style replacement for it. So I've got some quite nice things on the go now.

    I also gave myself a b'day present by using my almost £90 worth of advantage card points (!!!) to replace the nearly gone Estee Lauder advanced night repair and got a toner as well so I could get the gift bag. So that's quite a few more ins. Oh dear...

    Morning.

    I have a couple of uu's

    Liz Earle Superbalm 5g - WBA, I really love this for my cuticles and nails and it smells gorgeous. Have more in the stash.

    Soap & Glory Archery - this is the 2 in 1 brow definer, the pencil end does a good job but the felt tip end dries up quickly and had little colour to start with. I have another in the stash to use but there are better things out there.

    Painted my nails with Mavala Marrakech Nail Polish. Lovely color.
    Last night, my nails looked good but now with sunlight, doesn't appear that I did a good job :(


    This happens to me a lot. x
    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!

  • Hi all, two UUs for me today:

    TBS Vitamin E Moisture Cream 15ml: Possible HG - bought a new full size one today.
    TBS Shea Body Butter 200ml: I'm getting quite sick of TBS's body butter formula and this one is particularly greasy.Still have other scents in the stash so won;t even be thinking of getting another for the foreseeable future.


    I also had a TBS voucher to spend so I picked up:

    Absinthe Hand Cream 30ml
    Vitamin E Moisture Cream 50ml
    Wild Argan Oil Body Lotion 250ml
    Fuji Green Tea Body Lotion 250ml


    If I didn't have the voucher I wouldn't of bothered picking anything up today as I was pretty miffed at the service. I approached the till and put my things down - no hello or acknowledgement as the staff were chatting to each other. The girl continued chat to her colleague whilst scanning my things whilst I just stood there like a fool until she finally spoke to me because she was trying to sell me something else! One of my jobs is in retail and I wouldn't dream of talking to one of my co-workers whilst serving a customer unless I was querying something with their purchase/transaction! Won't be buying anything there in a hurry!
  • Another UU today:

    11. Crabtree & Evelyn English Honey & Peach Blossom Handcream 25g. This was a bit greasy for my liking so won't buy again. Will replace with a cheapy Derma Intensive Ultra Protecting Hand and Nail Balm 75ml which sinks in super quick so is ideal for work.
