    I'm never going to get round to listing everything. So here's a selection. It's maybe 3/4 of my makeup. I'm estimating. But there's no way I'm going to find it all from cupboards and car and handbags and put it all together :eek:

    *Alert* You may find the following images disturbing (I did :eek:) Didn't want to clog up the board with pics so re-sized them, then just added links instead :A
    Eyeshadows

    Eyeliners

    Misc.

    Eyeshadows & Lip Stuff & Blusher

    Eyeshadows (UD, Bellapierre) & Laura Mercier Gloss Set (and a snuck in No7 gel liner)

    Harrods Estee Lauder GWP (minus the Re-Nutriv Ultimate Lift Correcting Creme sample I gave to my mum - worth £48 by itself!!)

    My toiletries stash is not included *sigh*

    Oh, they're so beautiful *drools*. I've got a few of the same things, but want the rest :rotfl:

    And that's an amazing GWP, well done!


    One UU for me last night - a L'oreal hair colour, can't remember what specific brand, as I have no brand loyalty for hair colours anyway :) Did a good job though.

    A few other things are almost gone, so hopefully I'll get some more UUs soon.

    I'm another one not bothering with glamour - I need to add to my stash like I need a hole in the head :D

    I've been given a £5 b**ts No7 voucher by my dad who got it when buying a gift - any ideas on what I could do with it, or should I resist and bin it?


    Well, I've decided that I'm not using my No 7 vouchers since i now have some mini Clinique products to try. Maybe we can have a group voucher shredding one night!! :T

    Here's the link to print a donut 2 for 1 as promised last night....

    Less stuff, more life, love, laughter and cats!
    Even if I'm on the shopping threads, it doesn't mean I'm buying! Sometimes it's good to just look and then hit the CLOSE button!

    *snerk* at you waiting until you had the magazines until you joined up - I like that method :D

    ;) To be honest, after reading how many magazines people on here have bought each, I feel sooooo less guilty about buying just the one small copy of each mag! Now jumping onto the bandwagon and hoping to stay there!

    It seems really mean sending a newbie to the naughty step......

    I thought so too.... :A

    She knew the rules when she joined :D - there are plenty of people on here who seem to have been on the naughty step since day one of joining - myself included!

    Oh ok... I shall plop myself on the naughty step. The rest of you will have to budge up to make room for me though amongst all you Glamour buying sinners!! :rotfl:

    I had a bit of an epiphany this morning - I think I'm a comfort buyer when it comes to toiletries! Woke up with a very painful tooth (or rather non-tooth after having it out this week!) and part of my coping mechanism to make myself feel better was debating whether to buy the Aveda shampoo and conditioner today that I've been lusting after or something else equally naughty! (Considering I'm pretty sure I have enough to last me at least another 3 years!)

    I won't of course... having joined here I now see the error of my ways and shall avoid *those* shops! But does anyone else have a bit of a comfort buying problem, or is it more hoarding good bargains etc for you guys?

    Alternatively, do you just get distracted by sparkly pretty things? :D
