    Do you actually need any of those? If not, I doubt the lemon range will disappear too quickly - so you can buy whatever type of lotion or potion you want when you actually need to replace something rather than now. And there's always another BS glitch just around the corner :)


    Such wisdom. If only you would come and sit beside me at my computer whenever there's a BS glitch :rotfl:

    I'd probably be egging you on! I barely resist them myself, and am waiting with relish for the day i get through my body butters, and can take advantage of a glitch!

    OH I have been a bad girl:eek:

    could not resist the pull of BS sale as I walked past the shop.......2 body butters for £9 with my love your body card....but I did refuse to buy any more to get my card stamped and I did not spend anything in Debs despite having a £30 card as no bonus offers I liked.

    yet another failed flake:(:(:(

    Afternoon ladies! Please stop with the Body Shop glitch talk - I love a bargain and I'm not sure how much longer my resolve will last. I already ended up having a look online yesterday. wah.gif

    I've finally finished my Trevor Sorbie Long Hair shampoo and relegated the bottle to the recycling bin. Would I buy it again? No, it didn't do very much for my hair at all. I've got to persevere with the conditioner though as I still have quite a bit of that left. I'll be having a nice pampering shower when I get home from work this evening and then my friend is going to dye my hair for me with one of the six boxes of semi-permanent colour that I have in my stash. I'm not sure whether to go red or plum toned.......

    I must also confess to buying two flakes yesterday. :p
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    Evening Ladies :)

    Nothing much to report, but will start my Fab Friday pampering soon ;)

    Current temptations:
    1 )The free tote bag with Marc Jacobs Daisy or Lola. I really like it. Last time I wanted a GWP item was the Betty Jackson for Clinique make up bag but I resisted and then bought the bag (without the cosmetics) on ebay for £2.99 postage included. But the Marc Jacobs bags are selling for up to £20 on ebay which is a rip off. It would make more sense to buy the perfume.
    I saw this in Boots today, it's quite a bag, and I can see why you'd want it :D

    Going to have a PYNF as my last coat hasn't lasted as long as I wanted it to and they look shocking.
    I had to start a PYNTh as the lovely salsa colour started to chip and peel. I've only got the base coat on at the moment; will decide later what colour to use :cool:

    Sorry, Babafette, more BS talk follows - look away from the screen now.......:o

    I took back my extra orders hoping to get a refund, but the SA said they don't normally do that, so I could exchange them for anything. Now, I paid £14 for those online orders which consisted of 2 lip balms, a body butter, a shower creme/wash, and a pack of cotton pads using the various glitches and discounts. In all, the products were worth £30, so I was able to exchange them and using items in the sale, I made a little papaya gift set of shower gel, body scrub, body butter, lotion, and lip balm for a friend's birthday, plus another tiny set of green apple body wash and edt for an emergency gift, a passion fruit facial cleanser, and a shimmering coconut bath foam for me. So even though I really just wanted to cancel out the original puchase, I'm glad I was able to get a couple nice little sets together and treat myself ;)
