Hello (waves)

Well done on the raffle, Rosemary!

Just wanted to share something with you guys in case you have also bought sale goodies to stash away for friends and family (or yourself, cos you're worth it) .

I realised recently that part of my hoarding problem is that I dont like to break open gift sets - I don't like to spoil that pretty packaged gift set 'new' look (yes I know, it's nuts).
However, since a friend told me she is going off S&G :eek: and coming on board with the pink candle philosophy, I decided that I'm going to just pull out all my S&G products and start using them. Anyway, in my little treat to myself, the delicious All Around her set, I found a voucher for 200 points when you spend £8 on S&G products and in a Sanctuary orange bag set found a £3 off skincare voucher! I know they aren't brilliant deals but still, I would have been upset if I'd opened them after their expiry date - both vouchers expire around April time!!!

Of course I have billions of S&G products but what a shame to waste this voucher....hmmm....not too fussed about the sanctuary one, had another one and struggled to spend it without forking out loads more for a product I wouldn't usually buy.

Just catching up and there's pages!:rotfl:
I have no more UUs, but a couple of splutters of body lotion. Had a looka round Superdrug and Boots today and didn't buy anything :jcan't believe how much Boots prices have gone up by, that in itself is a good enough reason to stop stocking up on 'bargains'!

Free In - Olay sample

I have started using the S & G shampoo and I am liking this alot! I have long hair and a little seems to go a long way and it smells fab! Bit disappointed that I havent been able to track down the conditioner but I tend to use a leave in conditioner during the week anyway.

Do u mean this?

Do you have any of the £5 skincare vouchers? You could maybe combine those two together? Only if it's for something you need of course

That might work with the £5 skincare voucher Boots are doing at the moment, I plan on trying it before the vouchers expire on the 22nd.

evening ladies :hello:

I have a few uu's to report:

No7 stay perfect lip lacquer in nectar - this is my everyday lipgloss, I love the colour and it isn't sticky, I have another one in the stash so don't need to buy again for a while

Umberto gianni spa rituals shampoo - this smells gorgeous, will definitely buy again when I get through the other shampoos in the stash

Prada l'eau d'ambree perfume 50mls - I absolutely love this perfume and was quite sad to see it finished, I have a little 7ml mini in the stash which I think I'll keep for special occasions. Will definitely be buying again at some point, it's a truly gorgeous perfume

estee lauder doublewear light foundation sample this really stays put and the colour is a good match for my skin tone, I wear a different brand on a daily basis but have a little stash of samples of the doublewear to use when I need my makeup to really last

also one out to report, neutrogena visibly clear spot gel - I went to use this tonight and it has gone from a clear gel to a rather manky looking yellow -tinged gel so out it went (have had it for years though)



happy pampering girls, I'm off stash shopping, xx

No UU's for me but I have an in! I too got the 7ml Olay sample today. Quite generous for a freebie isn't it ? I shall look forward to trying this when/ if I ever finish my Protect and perfect intense serum. Good lord that stuff lasts a long time! Or maybe I don't use it often enough?
Shampoo will run out before the end of the month I believ but I still have 2 in stash so no need to buy yet.

My daughter has fallen in love with this product too but I've given up on trying to get the conditioner. I'd love to know what the problem is with producing this product.

I love fragrances shower gels and body lotions but the kit sizes are so piddly now. I remember a few years ago you could get a decent sized bottle in them.
