Use ups:
Clynol hair treatment mask - WIBA no. Was ok, nothing special. I still seem to be on that journey of finding the ultimate hair treatment.

Champneys relaxing bath - WIBA no. Lovely smell. But I'm now trying to avoid perfumed / soapy bath foams. Will now try adding a few drops of lavender oil to the bath instead.

Hello to tara, good to see you back. Whats the news? Well mainly that b**ts and b*** s*** continue to tempt us! That we have had lots of newbies. That katie clampet who first devised this thread deserves a damehood.

I second the proposal, get her off to the Palace at once! :T

Good to see you again, I feel like I haven't been away. Love the thread, and can't wait to report some use ups and WIBAs!!!

One UU to report - a bottle of L'Oreal gentle eye makeup remover. WIBA? YES! Definately a HG product for me now, not only would I buy it again, I would continue my mission to talk others into buying it too!

I agree with you it is a brilliant product.

1 UU to report: Bien Etre by U Strawberry 250 ml - WIBA? No - Not that cheap for a supermarket brand, and strawberry smell was quite chemical. Glad it is finished now, been in my bathroom for few years

Morning all!

Our L'oreal kids shampoo (strawberry) is spluttering

Morning all hope everyone is well on the (cold but) sunny morning!

2 UU this morning - Benefit Bad Gal mascara...they have both been nearly empty for a couple of weeks and bit the bullet and threw them out this morn! Didn't get around to swapping them for the Clinique freebie but in the spirit of this thread, I know I have a BN BS mascara lurking around somewhere - it must have gone off to hide with all my benefit powders :mad: they are nowhere to be seen! I do think by the end of the month my Some Kinda Gorgeous will be UU (see below in my ramble for the reason going back to this!) and also some other bits and pieces. The eyeshadows seem to be never ending pans though!

Saying that, quite a few products from my stash seem to have disappeared and I know they haven't been used or thrown away - I think it's giving me false hope!

I noticed today in the car mirror that the foundation shade needs to change, so this one can go back in the stash for weekend use when my freshly applied fake tan can let me use it up :rotfl: don't get me wrong I'm no orange beacon but I am lookng remarkably paler during the days lately so will be going back to my Benefit Some Kinda Gorgeous. I sound like I have some sort of Benefit addiction don't I :rotfl:

I'm making my list of stuff to buy in NYC when I go over in December, so I will be buying my Clinique 3 step over there - But I also concur with EH that the l*0real make up remover is top notch, definitely my HG product now, but as it's nearly Christmas I thought I would splash out and treat myself to the Clinique. I will also be replacing my Benefit Lip Gloss that came to an untimely end last weekend (or the one before?) but then again I might just go wild in Macy's or Sephora and buy that one and some others as I have been good with lip-glosses and not bought any except the one last week in this challenge. I will also be buying a new mascara in Duty Free, so if I can't find my BS one, I do haev a travel version on Bad Gal unopened.

If I can find TIGI cheap over there, I might also be persuaded to purchase some more as I have definitely fallen in love with it!


OK sorry for the rambling post, I'm hoping to sort out my wanting to go shopping urges by trying to compile a list so by talking about it I can feel like I almost have it and won' go buying it IYSWIM. Although having changed up all the money left in my account to dollars yesterday I have no money to spend until end of the month and I will be doing the same thing again! :rotfl:

Have a good day ladies x

Very restrained :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Thanks for the welcome gals, I am glad to be back.

I really have been so good the last few months - between gifting, using up, eBaying etc my stash is slowly going down! Hope you lot don't corrupt me again lol.

Anyone else had their Clinique free sample mascara yet?

A couple of In's today: Sure deo (because my current one is almost out), Revlon Colourstay liquid eyeliner (my current liquid liner is done) and Vaseline Sheer Infusions body lotion because it was on offer and my current bodyshop one is spluttering

Jacks that's a lovely thing that you guys did for your friend. I wish her all the luck in the world with whatever she wants to do from here, and you can assure her from me that however much of a disaster things seem like right now, in the long term I have always found that things hapen for a reason, and she will come out of it better off, or happier, or maybe both!

Thank you E.H. I really admire your attitude, and appreciate you saying that, and I'll pass it on to my buddy. :A

Is this the right one just noticed its on offer in Asda and Sainsburys and after all the positive reviews might get some to try as I often have problems with products stinging my eyes.
