How does the minis glitch work again? I am being so dumb today! Is it only Sanctuary or S&G as well? Is it only instore and do you need a skinnie, and is it only bath/body products? TIA.

From what I can gather from the B**ts thread its an overlap on the 5 for 4 travel mini's and 3 for 2 offer.... So roughly 6 mini's for around £7 quid..... Includes all mini's including the cleansing wipes that peeps are buying 6 packs of, for £3.97... I'm sure some TB was included if I remember rightly.

Has anyone used the No 7 P&P Intense Body Serum?? Its on a glitch at the minute, so not sure whether to buy or not..... Could use it on the decolla or whatever it is - chest !!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Good news.... I think I can look for a smaller container for my stash! I've been using the s&g tote bag/box thing. But this morning I sorted 2 x Palmers products to give away (yuk, smell is now horrid), plus some other S&G bits. Overall I'm not that impressed with S&G I've not found any of the products to be out of this world, but meh, ok.
So anyway a smaller container for my stash - that's good right?!!! Woo-hoo, yay!

Right I've been sorting for an hour or so! And yes I'm saying goodbye to the S&G tote box (typed bog the first time!). Stash is now:
- odd bits are in a Clinique vanity (GWP) case, much smaller
- hair stuff, now in the bathroom cabinet
- odd bits I'm targeting to use up in a cosmetics bag on the bedside table.

Now I have smaller storage this will mean that any banned purchases or stash cluttering will show very quickly!

I've given lots of S&G bits and Palmers away - but using the Pink Candle philosophy I'd much rather be closer... to using stuff I love.

SJP, you are a Bootsing legend! LOL at the dark circles cream, surely you have something in your stash already that would sort those out. :rotfl:

It's basically an overlap of the 3 for 2 and then 5 for 4. On my receipt (ahem) the 5 for 4 kicked in first. I worked it out that it's same as getting the large 3 for 2 though pretty much, as the minis start out so expensive - and the amount of packaging (if you want to be green) is horrendous. I took mine back and exchanged for 3 for 2 on the larger sized items but I did also have a 200 points voucher on S&G over £8 which the minis offer didn't quite hit - 6 items of mini S&G £2.35 for £7.05. Thank goodness I had my receipt when I took these back....

Apparently also works well for 15 items!

For decolletage I'd used just about anything such as body cream, face cream that's too rich for your face, hand cream - anything. I'm religious about it now. As I think it's one of the things that shows ageing. I also believe that if the skin is less than desirable there now you can help it along.
Hope that helps SJP and I absolutely loved the casual way you said I've been away and had a baby and.bought this and - it was fab! So relaxed.

Thanks for the explanation. What is TB btw?

I ordered the 3x P&P body serum online, haven't picked it up yet and am feeling guilty re toiletry spends so may ask for a refund.

Always use an SPF in the daytime if it's exposed though! I use my facial moisturiser on my neck and chest during the day and body butter at night.

I like soooo had to just google decolletage LOL!

Upper chest then, the bit that your tops don't cover up below your neck. Righto, will look after that bit - might need a whole set of new products :rotfl:

My stash is under a small table in my room, crammed in about 6 or so Lush hatboxes, a few bits on top of the table, some on the bookcase (in use stuff) and some in bathroom (also in use). Ive already found a few extra products I didn't realise I had this weekend!

Have to confess to a few ins today:eek:, avon order just arrived but was ordered before i started the challenge;).

Little white dress rollette, little white dress body spray, naturals key lime and passion flower shampoo, ideal shade foundation and professional multi pencil, still got some bits to arrive too. New book came with it so will peruse later and try to resist. Will go to naughty step now.

I'm really tempted to buy some of the serum, but i really like the L'Occitane body lotion which is around £17 for 500ml (I think) so buying this would work out cheaper..... I dont have much body lotion/butter in my stash, as its something i've never bothered with...... but having a baby at 37 is making me more conscious of showing my age.....

hmmm decisions decisions

JulieB - thanks fo the heads up on the full size 3 for 2 being better value :T i really shouldn't
