  • Sorry forgot some ins!

    4 samples of foundation (Bobbi brown and georgio Armani) and 1 sample of Osaka eye cream.

    I really wanted to try a sample of Nars foundation. I got colour matched and really liked the feel of it. Tempted to try it as has good reviews.

    Not weird entirely sensible, you usually get a minimum of 2 more uses!

    That's what I say to them but they say they can't be bothered.
    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!

    Two UU's:

    Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Moisturiser sample WIB? Definitely. Lovely and light, but hydrating and moisturising. I'm going to buy it after I'm nearing the end of my current moisturisers.

    Simple KTS Refreshing Facial Gel Wash WDBA and I have one waiting to be used.
  • Two UU's:

    • Radox Bubble bath – WBA
    • Soap & Glory THE SCRUB OF YOUR LIFE – WNBA unless it was part of a set
    No more goo hoarding!

    Oops, I shouldn't be let loose in places like Poundworld. I have two in's to report

    Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Shampoo 750ml
    Tigi Bed Head Dumb Blonde Conditioner 750ml

    To be fair, I have less than a quarter of the bottle of my current shampoo and conditioner left, and they will be finished up pretty quickly, and I don't have any more shampoos and conditioners in my stash. I'm actually shocked I managed to get a Tigi Duo pack for £12 as I've seen it priced at like £30 on sites like FeelUnique :O

    This sounds like a great deal! Where was it from?

    It was in my nearest Poundworld Extra, they have a whole section of stuff over £1, and they had the Dumb Blonde set and the Re-energize Shampoo and Conditioner bundle. I also noticed that my nearest B&M also started selling the big 750ml bottles of Dumb Blonde and other Tigi shampoos and conditioners for £9.99 each. It might be worth having a look in your nearest Poundworld Extra for any bargains.

    attention Elemis PCMC fans!

    Tatler have a Elemis promo on at the moment - free 15ml PCMC with the December edition (in M&S at least, I've not checked other stores) plus a discount card for £20 off an £80 spend on elemis online.

    The magazine is £4.50 - so not the cheapest, but a reasonable spend for anyone looking to try PCMC.

    And for those who really love PCMC ;) there is also a promo for 3 free travel sizes on the website at the moment, including another 15ml PCMC (though it's the ultra rich version). And as PCMC 50ml jar is £80, you could combine the lot as follows:

    Buy Tatler, use the code on one PCMC 50ml jar, and so spend £64.50 (£4.50 for the magazine, and £80 - £20 discount card) to get:
    - PCMC 15ml
    - PCMC ultra rich 15ml
    - PCMC 50ml
    - plus two other travel minis out of
    Travel Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm 20g
    Travel Cellular Recovery Skin Bliss Capsules 14 caps
    Travel Gentle Rose Exfoliator 15ml
    Travel Anti-Fatigue Day Cream 20ml
    Travel Pro-Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm 15ml
    NEW Travel Smart Cleanse Micellar Water 50ml
    Travel British Botanical Hand & Nail Butter 20ml
    NEW Travel Sweet Orchid Shower Cream 50ml
    NEW Travel Dynamic Resurfacing Serum 10ml
    Travel Dynamic Resurfacing Facial Wash 50ml
    NEW Travel Pro-Collagen Neck and D!collet! Balm 15ml
    Travel Nourishing Omega-Rich Cleansing Oil 50ml

    which isn't a bad deal overall!

    Or just buy loads of copies of Tatler for the 15ml PCMC at £4.50 :rotfl: (6 copies at £4.50 = £27 for 90ml of PCMC!)

    Not many use ups to report but I'm hoping for a flurry of them by the end of the month. I've just finished up a pack of facial wipes.

    UU
    Natura Age Radiance Facial Wipes (25 pack) - I really like these wipes. They are gentle on the skin, wet enough and make my face feel really clean. They are good value for money. I've replaced these with baby wipes to use on my face.

    Dove intensive repair hair mask- WBA this was a good price in savers (£1.99) and did the job really well. Smells lovely too. Replaced this with another the same.

    Lush its raining men shower gel sample- WBA the honey i washed the kids scent is one of my favourite lush smells. This was a decent consistency and the scent lingered on the skin. Lathered up ok.

    Lush wash that man shower gel sample- WMBA this is ok but not my favourite scent. Did the job ok and lathered well though.

    Lush silky underwear dusting powder sample- WBA and already have done. This smells lovely and does the job well.
