    2 more UU's to report. ESPA Hydrating Cleansing Milk and ESPA Floral Spafresh Toner. Neither of them were anything special so wont buy again. Bought these when I did a beauty treatement at Espa last year and one of my weaknesses is that I find it hard to resist buying products after a professional facial. Next time I shall only bring enough cash with me to pay for the treatment to avoid temptation.

    Off in to town in a minute to get some Euros for my ski holiday next weekend. Will bring some samples with me to use up then.

    Have a nice weekend everyone.

    Lovely Becky - where are you off to?

    Welcome to the thread! xoxo! There's a lot of support for you here... We've all bought stuff we know we don't use, you may have done it a bit more than most. Well, ok, a lot more. You're here and you're on the road to recovery!

    erm...... can we make that forty for me please:rotfl:

    One UU while I remember a L'occitane Ylang Ylang Shea Body Butter 100ml WIBA? - it didn't smell as nice as I had hoped but it was great on my skin and three pots of this have lasted over a year! Now moving on to my lotions and using a Liz Earle Superskin body cream as a neck and decollete cream -it is great!

    Sorry to hear Vicster didn't get the job but like you say getting an interview is a real boost!:T

    Love the Cushion Kaz - you should set up your own business selling those!

    Valm -those OPI colours are great - currently wearing OPI "Wing It!"

    I think we can make it any age we want too :rotfl:

    I've been told by a friend I need to join this :o So room for one more?

    I'm off to list... :eek: See you all in a week or two :rotfl:

    Welcome xoxo :wave: Love the list. Some pic as well - looks like a S & G display ay B**ts.


    One sock???!!! Can't wait to hear the sellers excuse on that one. :rotfl:

    Edit. Just read on...and I suppose the pic is accurate but seriously??

    Keep wanting to try the LE Superskin body cream (in fact all the range (apart from the facial moisturiser which I have tried) but just haven't got round to it because I have always had other lotions in. There was a time though when the original LE Nourishing body cream was the only one that kept my skin moisturised all day. Since then I have discovered other body butters/lotions that work as well and always smelt better than the LE one.

    I also own Wing It. Got it in a kit from QVC with three of the other colours from that particular collection. Flower to Flower is my fave out of them though.

    Maybe it wasnt wise to show us that :D there's some gorgeous colours there!

    Sorry! lol. I always find that when a collection is shown at preview like that I always think I don't like any and then I end up seeing swatches of them or seeing them on QVC and feeling I NEED one of them.

    Wow!
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    :rotfl: I do it far too often! :o I see something I think i'll use one day, then end up buying it in every smell/colour/size (delete as appropriate) without even trying it :o
    That's a lovely looking S&G stash xoxo
    Hope you enjoy working your way through it all!

    *whispers really really REALLY quietly* i've kind of gone off it since building up my stash:o I'll have to rediscover my S&G love and use it all up:o

    :rotfl: Definitely do this all the time too! Hence the drawer full of boxes of wax strips and all the different fake tan type stuff despite being as white as a milk bottle and never using fake tan in my life:o:rotfl:
