Question : if ran out of something and don't have any more ( ie face mask ) can we repurchase?

I think so - if you need it and haven't got it, what else can you do? (Just don't make it twenty of them! :rotfl:)

Wow, lots more pages to catch up on. Just gonna post some UU first.

* Pack of Olay wipes. WIBA? - no, didn't feel like they cleansed my skin (not that many of these facial wipes do!)
* Fcuk pure body lotio. WIBA? - Yes, the smell is lush and makes my skin lovely and soft, but got 2 of the Fcuk polished whipped stuff, which is just loveleeeee
* Tesco berry shaving gel. WIBA? - No, don't think so. Think I prefer shaving foams.

Off to catch up now xx

[QUOTE=trudij
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!!) QUOTE]

I did exactly the same. I got the Fearne hatbox when Swansea store were selling it £13, which I was happy to pay. Think the box is gorgeous and has been sat on top of my wardrobe filled with all my minitures. Kept a couple of the lip glosses and the 2 shimmer pots, and sold the rest on Ebay. Got a really good price too, so would defo recommend doing it x

.. I dont even know whats IN the fearne boxes actually - what is it??!!

From Mr Boots Website: A gorgeous hatbox of make-up for girls who rock an edgier look. It comes with a sweet heart-shaped make-up bag and mini marvels for creating dramatic eyes – 5 eyeshadow compact, 2 eye shimmers, 2 chunky eye pencils, a mini eye pencil with smudge and a mascara. Plus an animal print powder puff, 4 lip glosses and a lipstick to create lush, pouty lips

I would have thunk it would sell quite well as a set seeing as it comes with a make-up bag. (advertised as 'complete contents of Fearnes Hatbox') I am considering taking all the bits out and putting them in the bag to give as a gift and keeping the box myself. But OH said that was bad form

Absolutely - worth asking on here whether people have got any recommendations too! Or,if you've already found your own "Holy Grail" product, come and tell us all why it's so great.....I did that with an eye makeup remover and half the thread are using it now!

I had a quick rearrangement of the stash earlier on....got out my next shampoo and conditioner to use (JF Brilliant Brunette), and realised that I now only have (I think) four of each shampoo and conditioner left in the stash! There is starting to be breathing space in that cupboard again!

Nice soak in the bath tonight - Did the full works with face scrub and then mask (Brilliant Avon Planet Spa peel off one - one of the best peel offs I've ever used! Comes off in one piece so long as you leave it to dry completely - V. Satisfying!), foot scrub and then body butter when I was dryed off. The foot scrub is now officially a splutterer as well! Have also done PYNTh this evening - Max Factor Nailfinity in Gilded Ruby,

A couple of UU's and an IN to report:

UU's:
Elida Revive & Shine Shampoo (49p Home Bargains) - WIBA? Yes. Even though it was incredibly cheap it cleaned my hair to squeakability and smells like appletiser
VO5 Moisture Soak - WIBA? I don't think so - my hair is nice and soft but it smelt really chemically which put me off.
4 Superdrug BathBombs (these are blue and eggshaped - were xmas gift sale 10p purchase for box of 6 last year ) WIBA? For 10p a box - Sure! Fizzed nicely, turned the water a lovely blue, didn't have any definate smell but that might be 'cos they were a bit old. (Didn't use them all at once but wanted to wait until they were all gone to post)

IN:
FCUK Mini Body Scrub - Popped in to our big Boots to see if there was anything left on the shelves (nope!) picked up this and a mini body butter (which hasn't been counted as has gone straight into holiday toiletries bag) to get the free gift set - which has gone into the gift cupboard (for now )

Next Shampoo in use will be a half bottle of Herbal Essence Fruit Fusions Citrus Scent. I have a feeling this made my hair clumpy

That is a serious stash pic Ma-ri-elia. Think you have found the right challange :cool: Good luck and the best is you will always be looking glam coz the need to UU for this challange is addictive.

First time posting on the "No buy toileteries" thread, so please be gentle;)

I have loads of stuff to use up, mainly skin and bodycare, I love testing new creams, butters, showergels.... My list would be too long to post here, but I haven't succombed yet this year.

UU:
decleor arommessence rose d'orient. WIBA? Yes, it is a staple product and calms my skin in winter time, but have loads of other serums to use up first.

TBS hemp handcream, WIBA, yes, but I have started a L'Occitane SB one.

Boots Nr7 Mascara, WIBA? No, way too clumpy for me

A Dove 55ml Visible Care body wash. I thought there was lots left, but the plastic is so thick and the cream so viscous, it's almost impossible to empty it properly. WIBA? Yes. Next year, if they still make it. It's a lovely luxurious product.

I knew this rang a bell with me and have just remembered why - I took part in the pre-release testing for this, you're right, it IS a lovely product, but one of my comments on the feedback was that it was almost TOO thick!

What a good idea. My shampoo HG is Louise Galvin Volumising Shampoo. I have tried loads of shampoos and nothing has topped this. It is normally aroung £7.50 ish a pop so isn't the cheapest. I have naturally dark blonde hair with highlights currently in a Frankie from the Saturdays style- so quite short. I have fine hair and always need a volumising element in my shampoo but found others were ruining my colour. I found I had to trade protecting my colour or having it actually hold a style but not since I found this over a year ago. I am using one at the mo and only have one in my stash so I will be on the look out for a deal to stock up soon.
