  • I forgot an IN

    A Topshop glittery eyeliner. Yes I have no idea why either.

    A teeny UU a sachet of Sijal cleanser WNBA no doubt very expensive didn't seem to do a lot and didn't really like feel on skin (seemed a bit dry in after too)

    At least I know I am a complete cleansing balm addict and need not bother straying
  • I have my Burt Bees lip balms kindly brought back by a friend so in 12 x Burt Bees and a EOS lipbalm people were also raving about in the States, smells lush.
    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
  • 2 uu to report and some ins:

    Lush karma kream body lotion sample- WBA as full size. Really liked the smell of this on my skin, just right in terms of how strong it was and i could smell it on myself all day but it wasnt over powering. Really want a big pot of this at some point. Its quite a thin lotion but rubbed in really easily.

    Lush imogen rose solid perfume sample- WMBA as full size. I woukd probably choose the spray version though. I dont think the scent lasts as long with the solids and liquids are much easier to use in a hurry. Nice enough and i do like the smell of this.

    I also have ins as still havent moved into house (hopefully moving in next week!!) and i keep losing stuff as we are between hotels and a friends house. Grabbed some bits from savers to tide me over:

    Sensodyne complete protection extra fresh toothpaste (this was £2.99 so cheaper than other places)
    Sanex dermo invisible deodorant spray
    Dove style + care heat protect spray
    Dove intensive hair conditioner mask
    Alberto balsam pomegranate conditioner

    And an in from healthy magazine: crazy rumors bubble gum natural lip balm stick

    Quite like healthy magazine, theres 3 to choose from think it was bubble gum, cherry and raspberry sorbet

    EOS products are either loved or hated, especially the lip balms. Coworkers have tried them and wound up with chapped lips!

    I have two uu's

    Yardley English Rose Body Spray - this came in a beauty advent calendar ages ago, WNB it is too cloying for me.

    Ultrasun Anti Ageing SPF30 - I used this as SPF and moisturiser and it was fine but probably not moisturising enough for winter.

  • two UU for me: liz earle instant boost skin tonic (HG), replaced with the spare one I had in reserves. also UU sanctuary hand scrub, WNBA was given this as a gift for Christmas last year, I found it too runny and if anything made my dry skin worse. One IN botanicals foot balm managed to get it on offer and had two free sample gifts.

    2packs of wax strips
    1 can deodorant
    1 bottle radox bubble bath
    SPC~12 ot 124

    So true. I rushed out and bought one because everyone was raving about them. At first it felt nice on, but my lips ended up cracked and horribly sore from them. It took a week using my old balm to get my lips moisturised again.

    UU Nivea Sensitive night cream - WNBA, not moisturising enough. Very meh!
  • UU
    Impulse Sweet Smile Body Spray 75ml - That's another body spray from the stash finished. I've still got 10 left including 1 at work but the stash has gone down quite a bit as I've put myself on a spending ban for these sprays. WMBA but it's not my favourite.

    A few things will get used up over the next two days and hopefully will be included in my September total - a perfumed body lotion, a Dove hand cream, and TBS body butter.
