:rotfl:Well I'm sure it will last a long time, TrudiJ, if that's what its specifically for!

One UU for me: sample of Chanel Vitaluminere foundation in beige. I don't normally bother using foundation samples from magazines, but I've been thinking of buying a proper foundation as my tinted moisturiser doesn't really provide enough coverage. This was lovely and I'm very tempted to buy some for my birthday next month. I really want something from Chanel!

Was this from Glamour? I used it this week and thought it was really good as well. I think it's about £32 :eek:

I've got another UU to report Champney's Facial Wipes (25 wipes to a pack) - WIBA? Probably - not for a while yet if you saw the size of my stash you'd know why :eek: (still that's 6 UU to date) - I've been trying to use all of my smaller items first (so that I get a sense of achievement) I'm not putting a pound in the pot for each UU as I'm already doing the sealed pot challenge. But I know what I've got in my stash thanks to this thread !!! and I promise to try not to buy anything until I've used up what's in my stash! Thanks everyone for your support - sorry to ramble!

can i just ask a daft question? the bath bombs, i've seen the ones on the links posted on here and they look huge, do you just use one in a bath or do you break them down?

You can break them in half...with a hammer and a knife. I used to half all my bath bombs, but now i throw the whole in the bath, as i have so many pretty old ones i'm trying to use up before moving onto my newer ones!

Yep, it was! I know, I winced when I looked up the price online! I have never spent that much on one piece of make-up, but recently my skin has been looking really ropey, so I've been looking out for something to sort it out... and I'm a sucker for lovely packaging!

Im totally in love with the chanel exfoliator - am trying to save all my boots points to buy it with them - then the £27 (or thereabouts!!) price tag wont be so scary!!!

Have helped my mission to do this by FINALLY managing to pay for my boots order (only been trying for the last 3 hours!) - have bought the Gok set and the Ferne hatbox, with an eye on gifts or ebay for those two (though its a very pretty hatbox - Im VERY tempted to keep the box and ebay the contents!!) and some other things for gifts - was the paint on wall sets and the twinings sudoku set - also seem to have aquired rather a lot of chocolates and 6 sure deodorants - but im not counting those as we will use them pretty quickly and I needed to do something to make the order deliverable. We'll gloss over the fact that I couldnt make the payment work when i wanted it deslivered,so i have to go and collect next week.....

but they had run out of the Paddington tea set by the time I got to the checkout - no fair !!!!

Another UU: Australian Bodycare Body Lotion. WIBA: Yep, have another bottle and use it after epilating as I find it soothes my skin really well.

Also went to Boots... didn't come out empty handed, to put it mildly :rotfl:. Also got Clinique mascaras at Debenhams, but they were free, so I don't feel bad about them!

'Fess up! I've been very naughty, although it's pretty much all for gifts, but now I look at how much I've bought for gifts, I wonder if I'll manage to give it all away! :rotfl:

I bought:

FCUK necklace barrel
Big gold Gok set
2 Ted Baker bags
2 Natural collection bags
Botanicals set
1 small FCUK bag (mens)
1 Hackett bag set (mens)

and quite a lot of other non-toiltries things.

In all honesty, it was absolute bedlam at my local Boots: little old ladies getting splatted out of the way etc., so I bought what I wanted and thought I would need, and will return any extra I deem unecessary overnight as I only want to keep what I can use - I really have got too much already.

Well done for being so good, the rest of you.

Signing out til next week ladies, as heading off for a few day's hols. Since we're limited on toiletries by the 100mls rule, I can definitely see a modest airport perfume purchase on the cards!

Be good.
