have been signed up with them for ages and keep answering questionares but no samples at all:mad:all we get is stuff for oH from survey sites(shaving gel this week....mind I got some crisps last week so not too bad!)

I think it's becaue I've started doing the in clinic studies (i that makes sense) an they have the products on the side to look at and little slips to fill in, I was greedy the other day and thought I'll fill them all in and I might get one, I think I got 6 out of 10 that I requested!!

I'm my own worst enemy though cos it's just more stuff to use up before I can buy more!

I've also got some unopened stuff that can go on ebay, including a large bottle of J'Adore Dior.

That is my absolute fave along with pure poison. I've got expensive taste

What is facial oil used for? Any good? (not that I need ideas I’m sure) lol

You put it on under moisturiser apparently. Never tried it before, will let you know how it goes xo

I've just sold 5 NailsInc Nail varnishes for £10 - 3 were competition wins and 1 was a mini freebie when I ordered from them - and wouldn't ever wear the other colour so 5 things gone and £10 more in my 'money to spend on cosmetics fund'. I sold some of these already last year as bought a set in a moment of weakness and then decided I didn't like most of the colours. - Won't be doing that again....

:T:T:T Well done!

I was talking to a friend today who said she has no interest in going into Boots or buying toiletries and that she only buys stuff when the stuff she is using has run out... I dream of being like that...

I'm having a similar sort of day. I hope you feel better soon xx

I've just forced myself to have a shower and get dressed. Washed my hair while I was at it... think my cocoa butter body cream has a couple of applications left (I have been rationing this one as it smells so nice), but apart from that, nothing much else is close to being finished. I'm using a Dove shampoo and conditioner, which is quite good for £1. I'm dying to use my S&G Hair Supply mini though!

I see some of you finishing 4 or 5 items everyday and I wonder how you all do it?! Unless you have other family members helping you out (or you're OCD with washing). Or maybe I am just trampy and don't wash often enough! :rotfl:

I'm trying to use up minis and those products which are nearly finished to create more space, that's the secret!

p.s. I didn't like Hair Supply at all, was so disappointed. Everything else from the hatbox was fab though.

advance warning I am going to be bad next week:eek::eek::eek::eek:

it is clinique bonus time at Debs and I need(honestly )a new concealer pen so am going to buy that plus some skincare so I get the free goody bag which has amongst other things a mascara and I really like their mascara.

very sorry but in my defence I am going to pay with a gift card so no actual money will change hands:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Er, ok then :rotfl:

I am looking forward to a good soak with a face mask and some of my half-used Sanctuary bath relaxer tonight, followed by some BS Honey body butter (nicest body butter ever, why did they discontinue it???). Mmm.

BS always discontinue stuff i like, they used to do a whole aromatherapy range that i loved esp the ylang bath oil and lavender bath salt scrub, all gone now

I'm a bit like that now, mostly have always been. But my problem is sweets, which is far worse than toiletries I think. SO i'd happily swap my addiction with others

Hi ladies hope you are all well.

First things firsts Teabythesea and completelylost, sorry you are feeling low, i do hope you feel better soon and a tiny bit of advice given to me by my friend wo has suffered from depression for a long time (not that im saying you are mind) watch some stand up or comedy show, it helped her a lot and i use it as a tool to make me feel better when things are bad with the dh, i find its very effective, maybe you will too. Also massage yourself if you can as that also helps with releasing endorphins? This was offered to me when i suffered from PND after my 3rd child and again i use to feel much "lighter" afterwards.
Right confession time, ive sort of bounced of the wagon and back again:o. I bought with a gift card a perfume giftset, thats the bounced of part, the back on again part is that ive found my receipt for some perfume im not to keen on and will return it asap, and cause i paid cash thats actual money in my pocket. Also i did get some bits in boots (not toiletries) and paid for them with a gift card and used a combination of acm and mailing points and managed to get nearly 1000 points back on approx £46 spend so although i feel a little guilty about the perfume purchase it will be neutralised by a perfume return:o, what do you think, have i convinced you:rotfl::rotfl:?
