    Before I even use it up, here's one that will be a WIBA no-no - Lush's Godiva 2 in 1 Solid Conditioner and Shampoo. This has driven me potty - unlike most Lush solid shampoos it has large chunks in and the whole thing has crumbled when only half-used. It's now a messy squeezed - together splodge.
    I am annoyed. Lush products aren't cheap and the whole premise of their being value for money is the fact that they last longer.
    I have a Karma shampoo bar which is fine and I've used New:) - and others - in the past, but Godiva? Grrr!:mad::mad:

    Nice new thread - and page 20 already!!

    U/u - Badger cuticle stuff. Heavy on the shea butter which left greasy marks on everything I touched afterwards. WIBA - no - I have an Avon one on the go already.

    u/u - Boots Protect whatever hand cream - travel size, part of a GWP. Very nice and creamy but too expensive.

    In - Elnett hairspray. My Silverkin cheapie has been leaving my hair dull and coated, so I thought I would upgrade. Bought it in Boots, then went into Superdrug and saw it on special. Resisted buying two large cans for £8 (though it was a bargain) till I have tried it out.

    afternoon all.

    Well although I have no UU to report, I finally did it last night - I counted my stash!!

    i won't list everything but STASH TOTAL = 200!!

    Was actually a really big shock and just the kick up the bum I needed NOT to go and buy ore stuff!

    haven't counted my Nail stuff or makeup yet - just couldn't face it after stash counting and sorting last night.
    New surname New start!

    I can't see it advertised anywhere either. Is it just Clinique Debenhams or any Clinique counter?

    In regards to the foundation - I am nearing the end of both pots of my current open stash foundations and am finding one of the shades to be a bit orange! Don't you hate it when you buy the same shade you always have from the same brand and it is just not right! :mad: (No7 - one of the only times I have ever been let down by them :( )

    I find this is usually because my skin colour has changed though, mainly due to summer weather or going on holiday, even though I don't overdo the sun on my face I makes a big difference. At the moment I am my very natural palest and what I was happily using in September looks soo wrong atm.

    Ist use up of the year for me Sanctury Foot cream - was nice but a bu99er to get out of the bottle at the end, it was only a small one though.
    Next in use for feet will be my L'Oreal Pure zone moisuriser which i must have bought about 6 years ago and isn't going anywhere near my face. I'm hoping i can get through this pretty quickly as i'm doing my feet each day at the moment.
