One more UU - a 75ml travel size tube of Champney's Watermint showergel which I had taken away on holiday before and not quite finished.
I WNBA - it's a good smell to wake you up in the morning but I prefer citrussy ones for that. Unfortunately I have a full size one of these and the matching body lotion to UU. Still, though not my first choice, at least it's not banana....0 -
I apologise but there is a Clinique freebie that you can get currently - no purchase necessary so might help someone

I also picked up 2 of the new Soft and Gentle deodorants, the new compressed ones that are aluminium free. I paid .03p each for these with coupons and I am really impressed with them so happy to have them in my stash as I am down to my last deodorant.
If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy these? I too have the vouchers and would love to give them a try but haven't seen them for sale anywhere, never mind on offer! TIA xMFW 2017 #123 2018: £1,852.64/£39,200 (4.7%)0 -
Another UU : sachet of Philosophy Microdelivery peel. I've never been a fan of Philosophy skincare but this actually worked well without making my skin feel tight. In fact my skin felt really soft this morning and the prominent black head on my cheek is less prominent. I'm pretty sure I have another sachet of this so will seek it out.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!

Superdrug have them on offer for £1.03, on top of the coupons there is 50p cashback for them at the minute on the checkoutsmart app if you use this. Hope you manage to get your hands on them, they do leave white marks but I am happy to put up with that for the no aluminium and the nice scent.July 2015 - £997 in Debt.

July 2015 - No more paying full price!!0 -
A TA for me today. I have tried the No7 perfect polish in mint several times now and it drags as you put it on which is a shame as the others I have don't so I have chucked it. Now trying the Hot pink which I love so that will be a keeper.
I have about 30 nail varnishes so I have vowed to try them all and see if I like them and want to keep them instead of them all sitting in a box!!!!0 -
Thanks for all of the lovely welcomes! This thread has certainly made me take notice of what I already have - and what has been sat around, neglected, for far too long. (Hint: Not my cash card. Ahem!)
My PP list for this month is short, but sweet.- Whittard's Bathtub Tea Soak
- Body Shop Vitamin E Gentle Facewash
- Aussie Dual Personality Hair Protection & Shine Serum
- Sainsbury's Apple Conditioner
- Sainsbury's Apple Shampoo
- Tresemme Colour Vibrance Shampoo
- Body Shop Cooling Peppermint Foot Soak
- Rapid White Teeth Whitening System
I hate the Sainsbury's Apple Shampoo (it's not that bad, but it's not wonderful either) so I made a deal with myself this morning. I will use up the shampoo (about a 1/4 full) and, when it's finished, I also ditch the conditioner (2/3 full) that came with it. The Whittard's Bath Tea Soak was a Christmas present (in 2013!) It needs using. So, I'm planning on a pampering evening tonight (complete with mani-pedi!) and a mouth full of teeth whitening product that I've been too lazy to use. Imagine the scene0 -
I've been spending a lot of time selling and giving away my stash. I just sold a bundle of 50 items, so it feels really good to get this stuff out. I'll be honest, each time I sell a bundle I feel very horrible, but I know it's for the best. So to make up for it all, I did treat myself to one item: Chanel nail polish to add to my collection.No buying toiletries challenge

Olivia body butter - this washout of a vegan kind box. it smelt amazing but was too think and didn't really sink in so WNBA
Benefit mini that gal - i like this but i think its over priced for what it is so WNBA.
Clarins mini hyrda quench serum - this has been in my stash for so long I'm so glad to finally see the back of it! WNBA.
Bleach shampoo - WNBA, this is the one with SLS in that i reckon is irritating my scalp.
I have INs, the new Narcissist palette from Nars with 8 gorgeous eyeshadows in which i will use every single one of and a mini black eyeliner (i know! more eyeliner!). Also my little box came so Ins of a mini Korres body lotion and a So Susan mini lip gloss/gel blush. there also a bronzer thats gone straight to my mum as i don't use it. I'm cancelling this though - its been rubbish the past two months and is much more expensive than the other boxes!
there was a red card at home so i think my vegan kind beauty box has come too.0 -

Can I ask how you put your bundles together? I have been thinking of putting together some bundles as it is too expensive to sell stuff individually on ebay. I wasn't sure whether to put items together by brand or by type of product though.0
