  • Back in for August. Aiming for four UU this month.

    Should finish cleanser and moisturiser and hopefully a couple of other bits.

    Good luck everyone!

    Managed 5 UU, 3 GAs and 8 INS (so a break even month).

    UU:

    Sjal Cleanser. WNBA. Was nice as a competition win but I couldn't afford to buy it normally.

    Elemis PCMC. WBA. Hopefully pick up another on a QVC TSV at some point.

    Fresh Soy Cleanser. WBA. Nice product

    Elemis Orchid Shower Gel. WNBA. Wasn't overwhelmed.

    Embryollaise Lait Creme. WNBA. Not so fussed about this.

    GAs:

    Three eye creme samples: Fresh, Tata Harper and Dermologica.

    INs:

    Liz Earle cleanser, toner, moisturiser and mask gift set.
    Aveda shampoo, moisturiser, and two conditioner.

    *Whispers* Apparently there is one due on 4 September 2016. Check out the forums on shoppingtelly.com as they usually find out what's contained in them and the price early.

    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!

    Oops. A facemask in.
    Double Oops. It has lavender in.
    Lavender triggers my asthma. And I can't give it to my mum as it has the same effect on my dad.

    I have a uu

    Rituals Tao Silence Hand Wash - WMBA as it was very nice but for now I have kept the lovely bottle to refil at a later date.

    Repainted my nails last night with Essie Truth or Flare - a lovely grey blue colour.

    Cut open a Boots Natural Collection body lotion, bought it a couple of years ago when reduced to 50p and on 3 for 2 ;)
    Nice lotion so would buy again at that price :D
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
