Hope you feel better soon. Which magazines have the freebies in this month?

Red has Organic Glam mascara, InStyle has Body Lotions from Neal's Yard. Just posted on freebies forum by the way. InStyle offer might be WHS only.

thanks asajj. it was Marie Claire with the Balance Me too.

InStyle scanned at £1.99 too in WHS even though it said it was supposed to be reduced to £2.50 :beer:

Thanks asajj and evilsquid.

Think I might buy Marie Claire at the airport this weekend, like everything I've tried so far from Balance Me.

InStyle is such a dull magazine I might pass on that, I have a ton of body lotion in the stash anyway, though I did love the Neal's Yard Bee lovely hand cream I got free before and I expect it's worth more than the cover price of the magazine....

I actually picked one and then left it - I'm usually not keen on body lotion. Prefer a bit thicker formulas if that makes sense. I might give a try to OG mascara - however having only 4 months left and a lot of stuff to get rid off before leaving the country, I might not :Eek:

My stash in total (toiletries & cosmetics, excluding oral hygiene) was 158 products... so doing pretty well and not adding to the mass when I finished dupes / samey type products.

Soooo... I decided it was time to buy a couple of things I wanted... Some INs to report ...

TBS peach body butter (on offer and limited edition!)
L'Oreal Hair Expertise Pure Shampoo
L'Oreal Hair Expertise Pure Conditioner (my hair feels FAB after one wash - and no sign yet of scalp aggravation so SCORE - this is what I have been so fed up with the last few months)
Olay Essentials BB Cream (I don't wear foundation and I'm tired of looking tired)
Original Source Blackcurrant & Moringa Oil
Original Source Blood Orange
Original Source Strawberry & Pink Peppercorn
Plenitude Revitalift Eye Cream (I'd stopped wearing eye cream for a while because my previous one gave me milia which still haven't gone)
Pitrock Crystal rollon (running low on current one)

I also bought Hello mouthwash which isn't counted in my stash but want to mention because I love it so much and I'm running low - it doesn't contain alcohol and the flavours are subtle, not overwhelming or mouth burny.

And my OUTs which I forgot to mention...

Palmers chocolate and mint lipbalm (it split, WNBA because of packaging)
Coppafeel Peach showergel (WBA, divine smell, didn't get bored of it)
Colab dry shampoo tropical (WBA)

That article is brilliant... I know i've mentioned this a lot (sorry guys), but as a recent Vegan (6 months) I am clearing out my stash and replacing it with vegan and cruelty free products.

On a budget I find the original source shower gel and handwash brilliant. I can always find it on offer for £1 and feel that it lasts long enough. Superdrug also do their own range of make up and creams which are brilliant. They're a lot cheaper than the likes of benefit and the only product that I have found not to be great so far is their mascara. But I think that's because I'm used to using They're Real.
The foundation/bb cream does come in around £10 but they often have a B1G1F or half price offer so it works out pretty good.

Another UU - Aurelia refine and polish miracle balm.

I WNBA. I imagined it was purely an enzyme based exfoliating mask like my REN glycolatic or the Elemis papaya one but it has beads in it as well as the enzymes and I prefer not to use those on my face as it can make my cheeks more red. I also find it quite hard to get them off my face and neck - would only use pre shower.

I now have just the REN exfoliators left in my stash - a full size and some sample ones. This is my HG so will replace that in due course, but won't need for a few months.

Hi guys. No movement on the stash front for me (no ins either - yay) I think I will have lots of things finishing all at the same time.

Keep up the good work.

forgot to say, thanks for the new thread Babafette!

BirdnerdSophie and VALM - so envious of the hauling potential of your hols - pictures, pretty please? Or at least a full run down of your catch.

Will definitely post a list when I return.
