    Hi Sophy,

    could you apply lip balm or gloss first to dilute the colour of the lipsticks, if that's what you now dislike about them? I always think of dark lipstick as being for autumn or winter wear.

    Oh, that is a good idea! Yes, I'll try that. Thank you, I love this thread :T

    I finished a Pantene (I know its a Marmite product, but I like it) and an old Natural Collection body lotion yesterday. So glad to see the back of it! It took great will power not to just throw it out, it annoyed me so much :rotfl:But to be fair, there was nothing wrong with the content. I think I've got another in stock somewhere, but I won't buy it again.

    morning all

    Re.. lippy being too dark or light i have a little tiny glass jar (cosmetics to go lippy came in it) when i get to the end of a lippy i mush the end bit that gets stuck in the lipstick tube in the glass jar by combining different colours you get to create new lippys. You could try mushing a bit of the one thats too dark with a light one to soften it and make a colour you will be happy wearing.


    Managed to use up a few things last night and this morning
    charlie 'silver' perfume :T (ive only got one bottle of charlie (blue) left now.)
    Charlie 'Blue' bodyspray :T(my last charlie bodyspray)
    bottle of cyclax cocoa butter body lotion WIBA it was nice but i have loads of body lotions in my stash.

    bottle of hot butter fudge bath syrup WIBA NOOOO smelt delish in bottle but fragrance disappeared as soon as t hit the water and bubbles were very sparse and not long lasting either.:(.
    I havwe reused the bottle as i had 2 identical little bottles of avon bubble bath so ive tipped them into it to reduce the amount of bottles in my stash:rotfl:.

    have a good day all

    I've used up the foot lotion that was in a set with the shower gel i finished the other day and i wouldn't buy it again it was too runny for my liking and didn't smell very nice.

    Well I managed to go into bodycare buy my cheap nair hair removal cream for dehairing my plughole and did not even look at any other products :j I did however go to the Post Office and pick up my Beauty Bible which a few have spoken about on here. Only £3.50 from ebay and its in brand new condition - a good few nights read ahead of me now.

    Am off out tonight so going to go and colour my hair(been meaning to do it for a couple of weeks and its going really grey at the front) and then a painting nails session before picking up DS from school.

    Thank you guys, the best bit is the payrise - i don't have to worry about paying for new kitchen we bought 2 weeks ago. My new mission will be to not spend my pay increase on toiletries!!

    Congrats Loopylulu!

    I had to get rid of a toothpaste today (will pass it onto my sister or someone)
    Sensodyne isoactive gel - while i liked the freshness it gave it made my sensitive teeth even more sensitive!!
    I tried to stick with it thinking it might get better but it just got worse so I am going back to my colgate sensitive which I know works for me - half price in morrisons last night
