    Finished a Bentleys conditioner this morning WIBA no, I did not find it conditioning enough for my coloured hair.

    It is my friend's birthday next week so I have rifled through my stash and will be givng her Urban Retreat Rendezvous body wash, body souffle & a small bottle of the EDT. I have a gold box & tissue and my friend will love it as she does not indulge in herself very often. Also I have not had the expense & temptation if I were to go to town.

    Just a suggestion could you use some for gifts for family & friends.

    I gave my sister a Time Delay hamper in a basket bought with the N0.7 vouchers from Boots, did not even use the products but did not want to waste the vouchers.

    I also had loads of Sanctuary products bought with the vouchers from boots, rarely use sanctuary so made my aunty a basket and she loved it.

    I am in the process of Ebaying loads of stuff as I will not use it & probably purchased it because it was a bargain, bought with Boots vouchers or a grab it/glitch. I have so learnt the error of my ways :D

    Just a teensy meek little thought in the face of your very assertive post!

    Do you 'need' the skincare stuff? Might it be cheaper just to buy the concealer and a new mascara? Might you be able to save a bit on the gift card then?

    NO? OK! No problem! ;)
    lol, the offer states 1 item has to be skincare,which is ok as I can buy the moisture surge which is great for post holiday dry skin(not that I have booked a holiday yet!)

    just worked all morning at the conference,feet and back ache but am going for my hot stone massage soon:j:j

    Hello ladies and hugs to everyone else who is feeling a bit blue. jhy41y.gif

    I tortured myself this morning by going in to Savers and Boots en route back from the bank, but am pleased to say that I left both stores empty handed. I was also extremely shocked and surprised to find that the foot cream I am using is actually still in production and smells and looks just the same!!10ppphk.gif

    I bought it at least 11 years ago from a £1 store when it was still made by Fisons......and true to form I have another unopened one in my stash somewhere. :embarasse

    Well done to the ladies who have posted photos of their stash. I'm afraid I'm still not feeling brave enough, although I have considered photographing my hoard of just one particular product eg hand cream or nail polish. I'm feeling panicky just thinking about it though.
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Oh My God! :eek: That looks like about 5 years worth of stuff, you need to start your own shop. :rotfl:

    I'm the same. I couldn't possibly do it - apart from anything else, I'd never get it put away again, it is so crammed away :rotfl:

    I think I'm going to have to admit defeat and bin a Pat Butcher blue Sephora eyeshadow - even used as a base colour in the evening it is disgusting. But I had to have it at the time, it was such a bargain :o Funny how a little thing like that can be more annoying than having 10 nail varnishes in the same colour waiting to be used..
