  • Forgive me ladies, I have splurged. I went to Boots and then Superdrug in a bad mood and came back much happier, but with many INs. Anybody going to keep me company on the naughty step?

    2x OS Coconut & Shea Butter shower gel, HG and necessary-ish
    2x shave gel, necessary
    Aussie Miracle Shine shampoo and conditioner, I will need this in, er February next year
    Simple biphase eye makeup remover - I don't have a good one
    Simple 2x cleansing oil, will be able to start this some time in 2018 once I'm through the stash
    No 7 nail polish in Rose Gold and matte lip crayon in Rasperry Wine, which I totally just bought for the freebie set, which is actually rubbish, and the free lipstick you get with it, which is fairly good - I now have so many lipsticks and then . . .
    Nyx matte lipstick in Tea Rose, the other Nyx matte lipstick that I bought was fabulous and I have worn it at least ten times in the last two months so of course I needed another in case it runs out (ha)
    Nyx brown eyeliner, I never use eyeliner, but naturally when I was in the shop I thought this would convert me

    Sooo, seventeen INs, and one UU:
    L'oreal extraordinary oil night mask - love this stuff

    I am going to have a critical stash review over the weekend and possibly a bit of a clear out. I know there is some stuff that i'm hanging on to that is ancient and horrible and should just go in the bin!
  • Update on August PP list:
    Thank you for the new thread! I'm in for August. My goals for the month are:

    No Ins unless bought with Boots/Nectar points/free- fail!!
    Paint nails at least 5 times - done twice
    Hit edge on white No7 eyeshadow - getting closer
    Take top pattern off Rimmel powder highlighter (in the contour trio) - not there yet

    I also want to try to finish:
    Boots time delay eye cream - smudge left
    L'oreal extraordinary oil night cream - Done!
    Simple Micellar Water - splash left
    Vichy suncream - barely any left
    Garnier Day Cream - I swear this is empty but it keeps on giving
    Sanctuary Body Butter - couple days use left

    Good luck everyone and be good :cool:
  • One IN oral b pro expert toothpaste sensitive on offer in tescos. I accidentally bought the wrong one before but I will use it up and then Go back to just buying the sensitive one. Everything is still spluttering away but I have a few pamper days put by next week, getting ready for a party so I hope to use them up then.

    Not sure what it is in Tesco but its on offer in Wilko too for £1.75:money:
    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

    Hopefully my last IN for August

    170ml Rohto Hadalabo Super Hyaluronic Moisturizing Lotion 6/63

    I really was hoping for more UU this month, all seems terribly slow, but should be at least 2 more and a couple of things seem light, but not able to see how much left:(

    Hi all. I have been away at the seaside since last weekend.

    I have one uu

    Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Dry/Combination 30ml - this is very pleasant to use. I would happily use again if I receive it as a GWP and do have a slightly bigger tube in the stash.

    I had several different gwp sizes in my stash. Turned out they all held the same amount!

    I have some uu's

    S&G Sugar Crush Body Scrub - this is really nice and the huge pot lasts ages. I don't intend to buy body scrubs as individual items but would use if it comes my way again.

    Kneipp's Sinus Relief Shower Gel - love this and WBA.

    So some good news ladies - Emma has got her place at Newcastle Uni. Exciting times.

    That's awesome, congratulations to Emma :T

    Lol, that is impressive :rotfl: Sounds like you got a few lovely things though. Good luck with the review this weekend.

    A couple of UUs for me:
    - John Frieda Sheer Blonde colour renew shampoo. WDBA - once I get through some (a huge bottle of!) Tigi shampoo I have. Great for blonde hair.
    - Dove summer revived body lotion (with self-tan). WMBA. It's nice, and good value for money when on offer (which is often). Leaves a nice natural colour. But I've got body lotions I looooove, and this I just like. So I'll be experimenting with adding some tanning lotion to my fave body lotions for a while, when needed, rather than buying this.
  • A couple more UU here:
    Wilko Skin Therapy Toner
    Lush snow fairy

    and I throw a way a perfume I'd had 20 years:eek::eek: it smelt alright until now lol
    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
