    I have some ins

    Last week I was checking the prices of some vitamins on Superdrug and had a look in the clearance section, they had Butter London nail polishes reduced from£12 to £3 so I ordered 7 of them. I've never had any before but know they are nice, they were selling out as I was doing the order too. The colours are:

    Muggins
    Come to bed red
    Blowing Raspberries
    Dahling
    Teddy Girl
    Primrose Hill Picnic
    Cake Hole


    They are all really lovely in the bottle and I'm looking forward to trying them out.

    Hi ladies! Very busy with work! One UU/TA today:

    Superdrug Killer Volume Dry Shampoo 150ml: WORST dry shampoo I've ever used! Made my hair grey even with lots of shaking and made my hair so chalky/dry/crusty that I couldn't bear to use it again! Back to my HG COLAB ones!

    I bought two of the Superdrug dry shampoos when they were on special offer and they went straight in the bin! Absolute rubbish.

    I have used up three products so I might hit my goal of ten this month.

    1) Garnier 7 Day body lotion - WBA. The best body lotion in the universe. I have not had a patch of eczema since I started using this.

    2) Dove hand cream - WBA only if on special offer as not that moisturising.

    3) Elemis Skin Nourishing body cream - lovely, but WNBA as no better than cheaper products.

    Two UU for me today
    The two John Frieda travel size Moisturising shampoo and conditioners that I bought a couple of weeks ago.
    Can see the end is nigh for a couple of other things too so hopefully a couple of my PP list this week.
  • Evening all, I spotted Aldi have the caviar face creams in again from Thursday. Has anyone tried them? Is it worth dragging down there before work?
    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
  • 2 hand creams in, Aldi do a lovely cream that made me revise prior ambivance to hand creams. Do love Aldi for the amazing gem from time to time.

    So proud of my self walked into boots, has a real good look and the only thing I left with was the directions to xyz street. Yeah, improving slowly.

    Project pan this month is a wash out, so it is more like project.. Use it a bit more often.

    Just caught up on the feed and seems like everyone is doing well!

    I think I will join in sending a box of bits to a homeless charity, a good way to get rid of some items and helps people who really need them.

    How are you getting on with your Chistmsa UU challenge from Valm for those who signed up? My foundation is starting to splutter which I am very excited about! Keeping my fingers crossed it'll be gone by Christmas!

  • Still not managed to catch up on the thread, but I have a UU:


    6/167. Nivea Q10 Plus Firming Body Lotion 250ml - this was fine, WMBA on glitch at ~60p as this was but wouldn't pay the full price of ~£5 as it simply doesn't wow me. Much prefer body butters and the scents of S&G/Sanctuary/Champneys or similar.

    Morning all

    Couple more UUs :j and another in :( for me.

    UU
    Boss - Orange 50ml. WBA, like this for a nice refreshing scent and have asked for Christmas.
    Boots - Oval cosmetic pads. Currently using another pack from stock and really like these but again seems a lot of money for throwing away so looking at alternatives.
    Clarins - extra firming eye lifting serum 3ml. WMBA as scent was plesant and did seem to make a difference, although not sure how much a full size is. Have a few other samples to try before deciding.

    In
    Lipcote - Lipstick sealer

    Take care
