    I have several OUTS :j all GA to a Christmas party raffle tomorrow - They are perfume/body lotion set
    BS mini set of shower gel, scrub & cream in a nice toiletry bag
    Ted Baker mini box set, with shower gel, scrub, perfume & body cream

    Anyone notice a theme going on there ...! :o

    Just seen that ncrowd (like groupon) have gone out of business. :eek: I have £84.95 credit from them as a 2 night break ended up being cancelled due to hotel being flooded. ncrowd said it was outwith their 14-day refund policy so would only credit my account.:mad:
    I paid through my credit card in July. Anyone know how I can get my money bcak? :mad:

    I would have thought you could get it back via your credit card company. Give them a call.
    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!

    A simple handmade soap is UU'ed. This didn't last long but it is good as I have few to UU before leaving!

    One UU:

    Avon senses peaceful reflection hand wash - WBA nice scent and not too drying on the hands. I hate hand washes that are too drying! This lasted a while too. Replaced this with an astonish spiced cranberry hand wash that my friend bought me last Christmas (which I put away for this Christmas).

    green people shampoo mini - WBA, this was ok for the job but the faith in nature one is pretty much the same and is cheaper.
    Elemis jasmine hand cream mini - repurposed this a body lotion, I'm drowning in hand cream atm and needed some gone!
    Caudalie mini toner - WNBA far too much alcohol in this for me!
    Estee Lauder make up remover - WNBA, this really wasn't as good as i expected! still left loads of make up on my eyes and i properly needed to scrub to get it off!
    dove conditioner - repurposed as shaving cream.

    Hope everyone is having a good day.

    Have finally worked out my PP for the month and is mostly a carry forward from the last couple of months. I really need to get some of these items used up and gone.

    PP
    Boots - overnight rescue for feet
    Boots - Georgeous feet foot scrub
    Gatineau - 3D lip care
    Clinique - city block sheer spf 25
    Decleor phytopeel
    Chanel - Coco
    Decleor - hand lotion
    Gatineau - radiance enhancing gommage
    17 - lip crayon (pink colour)
    Boss - orange


    I went to a Debenhams event on Thursday as treated myself to a couple of items I have been looking at for a while and also some early presents for later in the month. So have rather a lot of in's for this month already. :(

    Ins
    Urban decay - space cowboy eye shadow. (Present for friend)
    Urban decay - glitter eyeliner in amp. (Present for friend)
    Urban decay - de-slick mattifying powder
    Elemis - pro-radiance cream cleanser
    Elemis - temple balm. (This has been needed due to a death in the immediate
    family with not sleeping very well and constant
    headaches)
    007 for women sample x2
    Flower by Kenzo sample
    JPG - ultra male sample
    Urban decap - prime and perfect sample
    Urban decay - eyeshadow primer sample
    Elemis - pro-radiance illuminating eye balm 4ml (gwp)
    Elemis - gentle rose exfoliator 15ml (gwp)
    Elemis - pro-radiance cream cleanser 30ml (gwp)
    Elemis - pro-radiance frangipani body cream 50ml (gwp)
    Elemis - pro-collagen oxygenating night cream 15ml (gwp)

    Didn't want to list all the ins as it seems like I'm not trying to follow the challenge but thought it was cheating if I didn't. That should be it for the rest of the month.

    Some UUs from the past week or so:

    - Touch of Silver Intensive Conditioner - WNBA, ok but nothing special
    - Clinique rinse-off foaming cleanser - WDBA, love this! Very good value for money, lasts ages. Very gentle but thorough. I've never actually bought it, only had bonus freebies, but I would in future if i didn't get another free one.
    - Noxidoxi Enhancing serum base - WNBA, just nothing about it I really liked. Absorbs well, but I didn't see any actual benefit from it.
    - Yours Truly Organics Fix me repairing serum (sachet) - WNB. Freebie from my mum, again nothing special, and very too runny to be easy to use.
    - Organic Pharmacy antioxidant face cream (sachet) - WNBA. Smelled a bit weird, didn't do much.
    - pack of cotton pads

    And a couple of TAs:
    - Soap and Glory KickAss concealer. Very old (years!), and has a slightly gritty texture. It's very good, but i have loads of concealers, and don't actually need any anymore...
    - Clinique pore minimiser. Again, very very old (exceptionally good value for money!), and slightly separated. I've just been given a full size Spackle by my mum, so going to use that as a base instead :)

    5) lagoon body scrub WBA but not available, this was an old product that I have hoarded. It is no longer available in the scent or formula which is such a shame as I loved the scent and scrub.

    6) body shop ginger shampoo WBA HG

    7) eBay sold item, more listed so might sell a few more items.

    8) skinny dip bubble bar WNBA this was probably atleast 4 years old, nice enough but not a huge fan of the scent.
