Couple of IN's fom my mum -
FCUK for her
Lady Gaga fame fragrance
Osmo Effects detoxifying shampoo
Adidas firming shower gel
Johnson's baby powder
Avon white lily bubble bath - IN. Was sat in my mums room unused for a few months after she bought from someone who used to do Avon and now she does Avon herself we are slowly but surely acquiring more toiletries/makeup etc and of course we are trying to use the old before the new.
Avon Lavender bubble bath - IN. Same as above.0 -
FCUK for her - UU!

And the FCUK is gone!! Thank goodness! Going to use up the last of a head and shoulders shampoo later that's not on my UU list as it's technically not mine but we have enough bottles cluttering up the sides of the tub!0 -
VALM glad everything went well with Emma. Once she gets to uni she may realise her friends can't afford to go out all of the time which will cause her to stop it too. Working in the union is a great idea from a socialising perspective too as she can see her friends but earn money at the same time! I worked all through my 4 years. If I could've afforded it I would've given up in third and fourth year to concentrate on studying but that wasn't an option.
Gemzie, this is all positive news. Try not to be too down about it all. I know it's easier said than done but things are moving forward. You've got a great support network around you and it sounds like your employer is screwed!
Hi to all the newbies and returning posters.
I have a few UUs:
Imperial Leather vanilla and almond milk shower cream - WMBA - I liked the scent but didn't feel it lasted very long. I've replaced with the lemon sherbet one from my stash
Sure aloe Vera roll on - WBA - I generally buy whatever roll on is on offer. This one had a nice smell but I did feel like mire came out than normal leaving me feeling a bit wet. Replaced with the Invisible Aqua one from my stash
Next 'Gold' perfume - this was a wee roll on - probably about 10mls. Smelled ok but I just wanted rid of it so I could move onto some of my nicer perfumes - WNBA
Korean red wine face mask - not sure on this. It was a better fit than the Garnier one but hadn't left my skin as moisturised and didn't stick very well to my face. I think I'm with you VALM. I've given them a try but I think I'm done once my remaining 4 are used up. Probably better getting a really hydrating night cream instead
I've just gone through my stash and found loads of samples I've not wanted to use over the years for one reason or another so I've put them somewhere I can see them to encourage me to use them!#27 £2016 in 2016 = £763.61
#42 £2 Savers Club = £160
*Savers Club not included in overall 2016 savings until the tin is opened and my estimates have been confirmed later in the year.0 -
Evening just posting INs ( will update UUS when I get a chance)
West lab Epson salt
3 batiste 200ml ( needed but not risky for a month but on offer)
L'oreal elvive extraordinary oil buttery balm, half price and always like a good deep conditioner.
L'oreal elvive extraordinary 50ml also half price
Then I went into TKmax which is always dangerous, came out with:
Kallos caviar hair mask 1 litre
9 Welcos honey sheet masks ( already used one so will not count it, very poor fit but seem okay)
Holika holika soda cleansing foam
Evizavecca AHA fruit toner0 -
Another couple of small UUs to report
30ml L’Occitane Date Bouquet hand cream 8/74
2ml Liz Earle Superskin Concentrate Facial Oil 9/75
Not sure if the eye serum will be finished, or just sneak into next month, I would like to finish it before I go on holiday as it will not last until 2 weeks today when we return home. A Lancome 5ml sample should also bite the dust before the weekend too. This would leave only 4 things to carry over to October and make this my best month for ages:D:DThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -

I had been trying to remember when you were going to York, we are spending next weekend near Shefield and hopefully catching up on some family members and them move on to York for 6 nights, looking forward to lots of window shopping and perhaps a little real life shopping too. Will mention the Dungeon to OH:DThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
UUS
53) lush so white bath bomb WBA love the scent.
54) Lush mango bath melt ( old style) so much prefer these to the new oils. It actually does disperse through the bath rather than sit on top like an oil slick. Shame I won't be able to get anymore
55) NSPA pampering smoothing sugar scrub WNBA hated it. I really don't know how they can call it a scrub when it contains about half a teaspoon of sugar in the whole jar, glad it has finished.
56) Bubble t summer berry tea bath and shower jelly WNBA did not wow me, works okay but still have a lot of shower jellies and gels still to get through.
57) Herbal essences hello hydration conditioner WMBA buy it about once a year, not my favourite conditioner but for a cheap conditioner it works okay.
58) Pantene natural infusion mask WMBA worked well but I like to try a range and it depends what is on offer at the time.
59) Body shop ginger shampoo WBA HG
60) Future primative blackcurrant and damson body whip WMBA like the product and the smell is lovely.
61) 3W collagen serum WBA works okay, not scented, absorbs quickly and fairly cheap.
62) 3W essence WMBA have one more left. Not really a fan if the scent but did like its consistancy and sometimes used it as a light moisturiser alone.
63/ 64 sheet masks
65) Pro you special creamy peel WNBA not a fan of the texture or did I think it actually did anything.0
