    Thanks to everyone for the good wishes for my buddy. :):A We had our girlie get together last night and I think every one of us teared up at some point. :o:D

    She was really choked up at the support she knew we were trying to show and one of us bought every bit of her stash.

    She's just got a streamlined capsule make up kit now and I'm sort of envious in a way. It doesn't take up space and there are no decisions to make in the mornings.

    My 'normous make up collection has swelled by quite a bit though. I'm off to make a cuppa then I'll update the list. :eek:

    UU - No 7 Face Wipes - WIBA? Not sure, I like them but they're not worth the price per pack. Think I'll stick with my face scrub

  • I've 3 UU's to report: Jergens body cream which I will at some point buy again as I like these but am not buying anything like this at the moment.
    Body Shop Hemp hand cream - will wait until on offer again. I've had this last tube since before last Christmas! It doesn't smell particularly nice but a tiny amount goes a long way and it's the best hand cream I've used.
    Crabtree & Evelyn freebie sample body lotion. WIBA = no, really not my thing.

  • Orangepoppy - I totally agree about the BS Hemp range. It's a brilliant moisturiser but smells awful!! I made the mistake of buying the lipbalm but it makes me want to vomit everytime I put it on!!
  • Another u/s - Garnier cleanser for waterproof makeup. WIBA? Definitely. Ideal for removing my long lasting foundation. EL Doublewear or at the moment Revlon Colorstay. I take the makeup off with this on a cotton pad, then cleanse with whatever I am using up and a hot flannel. I have a couple more in my stash, though.
  • Hi everyone, i didn't take part much in Oct - hd a bereavement i the family and then flu - not a good month. Have been trying to keep up with the challenge, but was caught in a weak moment in boots at the estau lauder counter - ended up with foundation and moisturiser - which i did actuallly need - but was a bit more than i would normally pay...
    on a positive note, my stash does not have any shampoo/conditioner/shower gel/bubble bath other than those in use and i think i am on the last of my body lotions.
    My main areas of weakness are still nail products (had to throw a cuticle cream away as when i went to use some it smelt funny) and fake tan products.... and then there is the make up......
    HAve any of you had any success selling stuff on ebay? i've started with some clothes but would like to get rid of some of the stuff i know i won't use.
    trying hard to be debt free by the end of 2010
  • I managed to leave my make-up bag behind yesterday so had to root through the stash today so that I could 'put my face on'. Ended up doing a mini-purge of some things

    no7 stay perfect foundation - tried to put this on today and it was like trying to spread concrete on my face - it's now been dumped
    clinique mini mascara -don't know why I was even keeping this as clinique mascaras make my eyes stream
    jemma kid eyeshadow which was in bits
    no7 eyeshadow in exotic ( a vile yellow with a blob of purple in the middle - it had to go!)
    benefit you rebel lite tinted moisturiser - didn't give enough coverage and has been lying around for a couple of years
  • I used my freebie £5 BS voucher to get the small LOVE body butter (it smells divine) and so nothing to pay. I also had a freebie £5 Debenhams voucher to use and did linger around the toiletry section and drooled over the L'Occitane stuff but managed to tear myself away and bought slippers instead! I also went in Boots hoping to do the Clinique mascara swap but that branch of Boots didn't sell Clinique and so I came back with the No 17 mascara that I'd hoped to get rid of! It isn't quite used up yet and so I'll have to persevere with it! I've got plenty of mascaras waiting in the wings. I'm pleased to say that I didn't buy anything in Boots as I'm waiting for one of the 1200 points Xmas evening events.
