    Hey ladies. Have more INs to report - all freebies donated by Emma. More body butters/lotions *groan*. Saying that though they are Hope Cove fragrance that I love. Am going away tomorrow night for the weekend so will list them properly on my return. Have just put my toiletries bag together and am hopeful of UUing some products whilst away. Xx
    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!

  • I've started my Charlotte tilbury advent calendar, there's only 12 products so I'm doing one every two days to eak it out. Got the clay mask today.

    I'm doing beauty boxes again for Christmas presents. Think it will mean about 30 or so outs so a nice big dent. Most of it is non cruelty free stuff too to help whittle the stash down and try and balance any Christmas ins!

    One UU to report...

    Marks & spencer Shea body butter 200ml - Wnba M&S butters seem to go funny really quickly, this is the second one I've had thats turned before I could use it. It smelt a bit odd so I used it on my feet instead. For that purpose it was fine but due to them going off fast I doubt I'll purchase this again.

    I've got some ins too as I ended up in savers with a friend today, couldn't resist the prices in there :eek: can't remember the full list as The bag is still in my car boot. I picked up some listerine mouthwash and sensodyne as I'm having trouble with sensitivity/pain with anything vaguely sugary. I've had a lot of ulcers too which I suspect is that I'm a bit run down so hoping the listerine will help!!

    So ins:
    Listerine mouthwash
    2x sensodyne toothpaste
    Medicated talcum powder (running low on the current one)
    Nip+ fab pistachio body butter 200ml (I've wanted to try this for ages, it was the last one left and only two quid...bargain, so had to have it, whoops)
    Garnier ultimate blends honey shampoo & conditioner
    Garnier fructis colour shampoo & conditioner

    Also picked up the dove pistachio body oil my mum was eyeing up in the supermarket (seven quid there :eek: ) for only three quid so I was pleased with that, also bought her a dove coconut body lotion... Both of those are for Xmas for her. Love the prices in savers!

    Plumpudding - I was nominated to use a nail polish but I've no chance, I paint my nails twice a week and I never use the same colour twice in a row.

    Gemzie - I've wanted to try the Dove body oil but I can't believe how expensive it is. I would have bought one at £3 though.

    I have some ins. My Avon delivery arrived yesterday (I am a rep, or was as I have just quit and this was my last order). There was an offer on if you spent £10 on makeup you got a free gift, some customers ordered makeup but not £10 of it so I combined their orders to get the freebie for me. The gift was:

    Gel Nail Polish in Roses are Red
    Ultra Colour Lipstick in Red 2000
    Cherish EDP 30ml
    Youth Awakening Serum 10ml


    I had a little spritz of the perfume last night and it is really lovely.

    I also ordered

    White Tea and Jasmine Bubble Bath 1L x 2 - these were on clearance and only cost me £2.25 for both bottles. It has a lovely tea scent which I love and these bubble baths are great, you get a ton of long lasting bubble baths.

    My last significant purchase was mid August and since then I have had only 1 other in which was a freebie too, so only £2.25 spent since then which makes me very happy.
