have decided i reallly need to tan up for a party in March - i have tanning towels but will be getting ready in someone elses house so not practical. if i buy the gradual tan moisturiser tho.......also any preferences (cheapest??). have used johnsons b4 and wasn't that taken. the boots own brand was ok. i assume it is already out sure i saw sun creams last week.

I've got a copy of the Beauty Bible Beauty Steals (so stuff under a tenner basically). And they like...gradual tanners
- Nivea Sunkissed Skin Firming
- Garnier Skin Naturals
- Neutrogena Nourishing flow
- L'Oreal Nutri-summer

Perhaps some of the folks on this board have used any of these. I have a tube of St Tropez one (bought on offer) which is good. In fact it'll be nice to start getting a bit of colour.

Think I'd definitely open one and check, I've had sealed wipes before and they've been dried out when I've opened them. Not worth risking irate ebay customers!

i know thats what i was thinking - but then i'd have wasted an open one hardly seems worth tanning myself up for work - i wear a tiny bit of makeup one day and they all think i'm having an affair!!

Hi welshangel, you needed deodorant. Did you need bubble bath?

welshangel

Ummmmm well, technically no, however, it was out of birthday money :-D

Right today I used up:
Neutrogena clean shampoo - this is nice but not good now I have coloured hair.
Neutrogena clean face wash - this is discontinued, yep another bargain. I do like their face products though.
Bare essentials foundation - last dregs used up. It's ok but makes me look yellow! Cannot seem to find the right pale mineral foundation.
Also finished up the contents of one of my refillable pumps, so the Waitrose sea kelp will go in there. Smells really fresh.

I did buy....some protein packs for my hair. My hair is super bad condition at the moment so will use these in the next few weeks. So won't be stash for long. :A

My make-up box is overfilling at the moment. As I've found bits and pieces I've put them all in there and it's a bit busy. :mad: I am desperate to buy a Benefit gleam product as I have 2 pretty poor gleam-a-likes (one dries too quick, the other is an odd silver colour). Will need to look for any Benefit offers to offset this urge.

Evening girls...

Taking me over an hour just to catch up on todays posts...

Anyway today I used up an Anna Sui body thing, which came with the perfume, and a Ghost body lotion, again it came with the perfume. So onto a fcuk one now. Trying desperately to use up the No7 hand cream (it came with one of the xmas gifts),I think, like many of you have said, its too greasy...so hoping to report soon that it will be finished...

Hope everyone enjoys tomoro....Whether your with someone or not, make sure you have a nice pampering day...

Now just got to finally finish some eyeshadows - has anyone ever finished one?

I've been wondering the exact same thing! I'm getting really bored of my virgin vie ones. I have a blue and a brown. I got a max factor set last year from MiL and it had an eye shadow which I decided not to open until I had used up my others. I've binned a No17(?) one (I think!) as I have not managd to use it up in nearly 9 years. I have stopped using the brush for my eyeshadow and am using an applicator, still it's not going down. I've stopped wearing the brown and am just using the blue now but this is getting silly! I have 2 opened, and now have 3 unopened (2x no 7 from gwp's but they are different colours!). Where am I going wrong (or right actually!)?
My flatmate used to run out of eyeshadow every few months and my aunty runs out every few months too. They both wear it every day but so do I. I don't think they cake it on- they don't look like clowns lol!

Still using the power rangers shower foam. Needed to use baby oil to moisturise tonight (when I say needed, it was in the bathroom where I was and the other 2 are downstairs where I wasn't! Snigger!).
