Wow you seem to be prepared for everything. I laughed at seeing clean knickers listed, then thought, ooh maybe I should do that

OOh,vampy purple polish! Me likey I wonder if I hae one or need to buy one!

Clean knickers are very useful! Even more so before I met OH :rotfl:Sorry if TMI!!!! I see Footymadgal has the same idea! :rotfl:

Have just put some Umberto Gianni overnight hair balm on, it smells so nice! I have to try some more in this range when I have used some things up! Will have to be very brave tomorrow as am having my eyebrows waxed and dyed at the Benefit counter in Boots tomorrow...temptation, temptation!

ma-ri-ella

one uu and one give away
uu-random hand gel i had picked the label off
ga-at hairspray-dont use hairspray ever so why do i keep buying it? my hair never seems to sit neatly no matter what i do(stupid little curly bits that dont grow long enough to straighten )
my uu list as of now is

strawberry santa,johnsons baby bath,udprimer,ef cocoa butter lotion revlon photostay, s&g foot mask,avon nail experts, sweet seduction lip balm, no7 cleanse and clean,cocois shampoo, cocois leave in crème,johnsons baby shampoo 100ml,lime splash body wash,neutrogena blackhead remover daily scrub,ice sheers purple,sure cotton dry,mango bar,sanctuary spa body lotion 75ml,colour trends lipstick shade ice champagne,no brand pink lippy,avon supershock intense mascara,glimmersticks brow definer,2xspell eyeshadows,lush space girl bomb,virgin vie eyeshadow watercolour eyes ,asda hand gel,burts bee radiance lip shimmer,sanctuary spa hand cream,olay body wash,no7 chocolate eyeliner,superdrug rose body butter,random hand gel

quite impressive even if i have just went for the nearly done things first!! just need to keep telling myself i wont lose out by not getting (saying that i have alot of sanctuary stuff at the mo anyway and enough bs body butters to last me this year and the next and the next...)

The Decleor clay mask if my HG one. It really brightens my skin and I can feel that my tube is getting light. Let me know how the MB one compares though will you?

Will do!!

Went into Boots today to check the ACM for the deodorant voucher

I did the same myself but did manage to get the 1/3 off and bought a Mitchum roll on that I have been wanting to try out so 1 IN.

Also a UU D & G Light Blue body lotion. Got it as part of a gift set and was okay to use. WIBA prob not. Another £2 in the pot.

My office stash is very minimal at the mo as I have not long moved there.

• Toothbrush and toothpaste
• Issey Miyake 50mls
• Sure

In my handbag

• Next Define 30mls fragrance
• Clinique Superpowder Matt Ivory
• Clinique Glosswear for lips Sunshine
• Clinique rose Aglow
• Chap Stick
  

If I am off out for the night I tend to have more items in my bag.

I thought I was being clever last year by putting make up bags with a mini kit in all my big(3) handbags....I use them all the time in the day as oppossed to smaller ones for evening)started out so well but then got fed up carting extra weight about and also took lippy out then forgot to replace in bag and ended up with several loose lippies in bags so now given up and all make up back in the basket in my draw.It rarely gets a trip out as when I go out I usually just throw lippy into handbags and not bother taking anything else.
I am trying to use lippies up but they last forever:(:(:(.....and thta is without using brush to get ends out.

right off to bed now dishwasher has finished and cats have come in
night all xx

But there is someone at work who arrives at work by 9.30 full made up, goes straight to the ladies and touches up her make up and stinks the toilets out with perfume, then does this every time she goes back to the loos (3-4) and then goes home just after 2 ish. I want to know what they're doing with her in that office that she keeps needing to top up her make up.
It could be that she is a member of this board though and trying to use up a huge stock of make up!

Oh Lemon Tree that is so funny :rotfl:.

One day without posting and 4 pages to catch up on - you aren't half a bunch of chatty hatties :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Right now someone tell me I do not need to buy another lipstick just because it is "the perfect shade of nude"....

You do NOT need to buy another lipstick just because it is "the perfect shade of nude" :rotfl:

I am very taken with the description of Scottish Fine Soaps Get Flirty Double Whipped Body Butter. The scent is vanilla and cinnamon, sounds an absolute winner, bit like sniffing Chai sweetened with vanilla sugar....

oooh - thats sounds to die for Linky? (for research purposes only of course :rotfl:)

I am feeling slightly ashamed of myself and my hoarding ways ! My DD (14 soon) decided to declutter her make up stash -while it has been built mostly from presents from friends and family and freebies (teen magazines always seem to give away some sort of cosmetic) she has also bought some with her pocket money. Anyway, she decided to do a cull and OMG was she ruthless - 'I don't need that, I'll never wear that, that's old/horrible,' you get the picture.

Why oh why can't I do the same? I have bucket loads of cosmetics which in all probability will never be anywhere near my face but are too old to give to anyone? Why am I keeping them?

Had to laugh at this - my DD is the same and I have to stay well out of the way when she's stash sorting otherwise I'm in there going 'you can't throw that out, I'll have that' :o

....Sometime I go to a nice toiletris website, fill my shopping basket and then leave without paying - I sort of get half the shopping fix then, LOL!! :rotfl:

:rotfl:I do that too - practically everyday when the BS Free Delivery and 30% off offer was on - very proud as didn't buy anything :A
and I got another email with another 30% off offer today *roll eyes*

....Now I have the dilemna of having lots of Body lotion and butter and being about to run out of hand cream - is there really such a difference or can I just use the body stuff for my hands?? :cool:

Personally I think it depends on how perfumed the lotion is - I can't use anything on my hands that has strong perfume in as it just dries them out but non-perfumed/light perfumed I find OK

Loving the handbag/work stashes :T Don't have a work stash (don't have a work ) and my bag stash is one BS Spiced Vanilla Lipbalm and a Mini S&G Hand Food.

Two UU's over the weekend and NO IN's :T

UU's
Gorgeous by Gok Body Butter - WIBA? Yes - I liked it, liked the smell and, more importantly, so did OH
Olay Total Effects Night Firming Moisturiser - WIBA? Not sure - quite greasy when applying but lovely and soft in the morning

Moving onto BS Cranberry Joy Body Butter and one of my No7 GWP Night Creams

Have a great Tuesday all :cool:

:rotfl:It is because of on here that I have been tempted to try it

OOOH! I have another UU (rather Throw Out - TO) to declare: I had to throw out a Virgin Vie mini lip gloss the other day as it had developed a puncture and was leaking everywhere. Pity, cos it was a great colour, and it had become my everyday lipgloss.

WIBA? Well, it was a present in the first place, so that's not technically true , but it was a great shade and pretty good quality, so yes. (But obviously I don't need to!)
