runnerbean17

Well finally UU the Kelly Brook Vivacious perfume WIBA? Hmm not particularly, it was in a gift set for only £5 - one of the great bargains from B**ts!! Perfume def better than the body lotion though - it's one of those tubes that is bottomless - amazing!! HOw come the stuff you actually like is never bottomless?? Answers on a postcard pls :rotfl:

A big UU this weekend - Elle MacPhearson Ultimate Moisture Body Butter 475ml. WIBA: No, boring.
And this means that all my body moisturisers are under control! The day has come :j I only have: 1 small bottle of body lotion for work, 1 250ml Gok body butter at home (bought in December, so fresh), 2x BS minis (obtained in Jan), and Nivea Soft. No more foot, hand, or body creams :T No sachets too

Work and handbag stash today (it changes):
Natural Collection Body Cream 75 ml (for hands)
Chapstick
L'Oreal True Match Minerals foundation
Victoria Jackson palette
Victoria Jackson mini-mascara
Avon Concealer stick (sometimes used as a foundation)
Rimmel Glam Eyes Liquid Liner
Decanted sample pot of loose powder
Sample of Lancome lipstick
Miss Sporty lipstick in Striptease

Really love this stash (although it's all cheap products )

My handbag stash is puny as I don't wear make up to work (tho I might start). All I have is

Carmex pot
Neutrogena Unfragranced Hand Cream
Perfume Parlour 212 Sexy (type) oil (this changes weekly)

Oooh, good idea re. office stash. Here's mine -

Office stash:
- EA 8 hour intensive hand cream.

Erm, that's it :rotfl:

I do have a handbag stash though, which always come to the office with me:
- Clinique Superpowder double face powder
- Benefit kit - Justine Case
- Chanel Irreelle Soleil Bronzer
- Rimmel gold eye gloss
- Dior waterproof eyeliner pencil
- Clinique Colour Surge eyeshadow duo - purple and gold.
- Simple intensive lip moisturiser

All true HG products, and guaranteed to get me looking pretty hot if going straight out for a big night after work

Don't you have a mini stash at work.....doesn't everyone....:o....or is that just me....mine is hidden under my biscuit and crisp stash...:)

Interesting point, and I have enjoyed reading about everyone else's work and handbag stashes! :T


I never used to have ANY toiletries at work, which is staggering considering my 'at home' stash'. :rotfl: Then I got caught out a couple of times forgetting to put on mascara before leaving the house :eek: (cue emergency lunchtime trip to Boots/Superdrug) and now I have the following emergency stuff in my drawer at work:

• 2True mascara
• Max Factor Lasting Performance foundation
• Boots Time Delay hand cream (fab stuff, I used to get it with the £5 voucher; I have about 7! - I try to apply it regularly)
• Clinique Water Therapy hand cream (spluttering)
• Boots Time Delay Radiance Booster (for when I look knackered lol - again bought with £5 voucher)
• Boots Aromatherapy Time to Clear the Head pulse point oil (bought in 75% sale last year as part of a set)
• Sensodyne Pronamel toothpaste and toothbrush
• Body Shop coconut lip butter

I should bring some eye cream and day cream in here as well. That would be enough.


My handbag stash varies but atm there's:

• Opia eyebrow pencil (no idea why)
• H&M cute mini red mirror compact
• Body Shop coconut lip butter
• Lancome Color Ideal foundation (even though I almost never touch up my makep, it's good for emergencies)
• Boots 17 lasting finish lipstick - Shell

That's all! I travel very light. Even on nights out, I don't bring makeup with me apart from maybe a lipstick and lip butter.

I have so many splutterers at the minute, they're driving me mad! :rotfl:

I have a very pitiful office/mobile stash

Desk drawer - EA 8 hr cream
Jacket pocket - BS Cherry lipbalm

The one area of my life I don't over do it! :rotfl:

I probably take a similar amount of make-up with me on a night out as I would for a normal day - concealer, mascara, lipstick or gloss and B Cocktail perfume are the essentials when I go out.

And I totally agree with you on the splutterers, although mine is one particular one - it's a James Brown hair mask that I've had for well over a year and which is still going! On the one hand I suppose that makes it quite good value (think it costs about £8 to buy a big bottle and this one was a freebie with a magazine) but at the same time I just want to use it up...

Me too but i think that is probably because i know I don't 'do' my make up once I'm out, maybe a slick of gloss or eyeliner (but even that only happens if I'm waiting for friends in the ladies!) and I always end up losing all my bits and bobs :rotfl: - not very MSE!

I really can't get my head around people who can touch up during the day/when they are out...I might put on a full face of make up before I leave home but I don't have the patience to do it again of a trip! I wish I could, it might mean i can use up the stash quicker! :T
