Those CW products have been in poundshops for years- Im staggered anyone ever pays 4.50 or whatever boots charge :eek: . Dont bother to stockpile ( she says) most of my stockpile has come from 99p stores, poundshops, market stalls, home bargains and boots clearance. ( sighs)

Need to check my local poundland as this would have saved me heaps.

Bottle of l'Oreal Elvive Nutri-Gloss Light shampoo finished today (freebie). I liked it when I started using it but I've fallen out with it recently - it seems to make my hair go 'floppy'. Replacing it with a bottle of Aveda 'smooth infusion' shampoo which I've had in stock since Summer (free with a voucher from Marie Claire mag, so actually cost me £3.50-ish) but put off using until I'd finished a couple of bits and pieces (see, I was doing this challenge months before I knew I was ). Has anyone else used either of these shampoos? What did you think of them?

I haven't used the freebie Aveda ones yet but have 3 of them thanks to 2 generous colleagues who gave me their vouchers... can't wait to get started on them!!!

Well I have just dusted my pine dressing table. This is an arduous task since it involves removing all my lotions, potions and perfumes from the surface before I can actually access any of the wood.

I was half tempted to post a list of the items I keep on my dressing table but I'm scared. It is just a minute fraction of my stash. Nobody knows the full extent except my OH. If I write it down it will all seem too real..... :undecided

Even my OH doesn't know the full extent of my stash... think he would dump me if he did!!!!! :eek:

Going to list my no7 free gift on eBay. I love the chainmail bag but I don't need anything inside it. I do not need another cute sized mascara just to look at.


edit: lynzpower i once sold my half bottles on ebay for more than they were in a shop?? some people cant get to shops so apparently half empties on eBay are the way forward?

I might do this too! Am going to have a serious look at my stash and see what I can sell. Would it be better to sell the No7 free gift as a whole or piece by piece e.g. the bag, the mini mascara, the lip gloss etc?

I also didn't realise you could sell half bottles of stuff!

Well done, you did it. I am too scared to do mine!

No body butter for me this evening as no shower, ah well! :rotfl:

I just saw the Grabbit thread about the Lush £12.50 bags, is it wrong that I really want one as it has so much skincare stuff in it and not just a load of crappy bath bombs?

skaps

Does anyone know where i can get gale hayman lip lift at a cheaper price than QVC?

skaps

Have listed my other molton brown products and liz earle hand wash. Love molton brown but have to give it up as i have lots of other body wash.

I've been lurking in this thread and it's inspired me to have a good cull
So far have used up 1 jar of Boot blissful bath float (?) with one more to go (were bought for £1ish on clearance shelf) a sachet of Aussie hair mask thingy and am using some sanctuary body butter like it's going out of fashion also liberal use of foot softening balm, etc etc, so much so that eldest son remarked how nice I smelt and how soft my skin was last night :A
can't wait to finish rest of my stash before I'll allow myself to use the stuff from my S&G Hatbox that santa brought me

thank-you ladies for making me see the error of my ways :rotfl:
