    Another uu

    Philosophy Spiced Gingerbread Cookie Shower Gel, Shampoo & Bubble Bath 500ml
    - I used this for all 3 purposes and it worked well, more in the stash of this scent and a ton of others too, I need to work through them as they are taking up a lot of room.

    When my local Boots stopped selling Philosophy they sold off all their stock for silly prices. I think I bought ten of the shower gels as they were £2 each! I think I will be retired before I get through them! I do find they work really well as shampoo on my hair.

    UU

    Ghost Girl Moisturising Body Lotion 50ml - This smelled lovely. It came with a perfume gift set and I applied it daily before work. I have plenty of scented stuff in the stash to use next.

    23 Savlon cream we always have a tube on the go. Will take the new tube on hols rather than taking my new bottle of Tea Tree lotion. Less bulky for travel.

    24 L'Occitane Verbena liquid soap HG. I think I have an eco refill in stash but can't be bothered decanting it before hols so will put the Avon Senses hand wash from the kitchen in bathroom until I return.
    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!

    Hermia - I didn't get that good a deal on my Philosophy stash but I did get them all half price in the Debenhams sale when they used to sell it.

    sstevo - sorry to hear you are having a bad time at the moment. Is it work that is causing the problems? Did your shopping trip make you feel better?

  • Hi all! I can't remember if I said thank you for my birthday well wishes yet, but thank you!

    Sstevo how are you doing now?
    I too shopped to make myself feel better yesterday. No toiletries but I was SO tempted there's so many points deals and GWPs and discounts on luxury brands ATM I had to use some serious will power. I did buy clothes though instead, doh!

    Some freebie ins:
    Chanel foundation sample
    Lancôme foundation sample
    Elizabeth Arden serum sample

    Small UUs
    Sample of benefit gimme lash - WPNB this was nice but it's expensive so I need to look for a dupe, this said I looked at Charlotte Tillburys eyebrow gel thing and it looked so good because the wand was tiny.
    Neals yard rose and mallow moisturiser - WBA I think I really liked this. Although this said I do have a rather large spot ATM, although I think it's all the cake....

    Hi all,

    sorry to have been AWOL - not having a good week or so - you know how it is sometimes!

    1 little UU: Clarins sample of the new moistusiser - WMB - their hydration test said my skin was dehydrated, (though I usually use products for oily skin) but it did feel very nice on. Have more than enough in my stash mind!

    Am trying to resist a few things at the minute - must be strong!!

    Here are my Finish 5 by Summer items:

    1. Soap & Glory Archery - the one with the pencil and tint.
    2. Max Factor Face Finity 3 in 1 Foundation
    3. Avon Glimmersticks Diamond Eyeliner in Brown Glow
    4. Benefit Creaseless Cream Shadow in rsvp - mini
    5. Lipstick Queen mini lip crayon in Mystery

    I really am not keen on the eyebrow pencil, the foundation will be too light soon so needs to be finished off, the eyeliner has a bit too much red in for my liking but I don't hate it. The eyeshadow will go on forever I'm sure.

    I just get a bit overwhelmed and stressed out because I want to do well, and it's stresses me out at times. I feel better now because I've had a few days off to chill out. My shopping trip made me feel a bit better, thanks for asking :)

    Thanks Houseplant26 I'm feeling much better. Bad luck comes in threes, and on Friday, that happened to me. I think my cold was affecting me a bit, haha :)
