    It's very pretty... but do you really need that many eyeshadows? If you bought it it would be cluttering your drawer/dressing table for ages.

    Though if you do want to see some reviews and stuff it's on sale here on a cheap chinese tat site. Not that I'm knocking it as I've had some good bargains from it!

    I know I probably wouldn't use half of the colours but it's so pretty....

    Then print off a picture of it and stick it on your wall instead :rotfl:




    In a naughty enabling way it does seem v good value for so much eyeshadow, and we all need some pretty things in our lives :o

    Now you haven't told me that info... *scuttles off to Asda*

    Well maybe just wait until you need some:) I've managed all year so far but still stop by the shelf everytime I go to Asda, stilla bout 5 more bottles of various lovely gels to go and I've allowed one!

    Bf has sold his house now too so added incentive not to buy...at least until we move anyhow. Been eBaying a few bits and have packed one whole box this morning!
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Gingerbread Latte bath syrup which I use as a shower gel and shampoo.

    This sounds heavenly. I love spicy, cinnamony, gingery shower gels. I do have the Original Source Orange and Ginger - anybody have any recommendations so that [STRIKE]I can sneak out and buy some[/STRIKE] make notes for later in the year when I will have used up all my stash?

    I'm more or less housebound at the moment, went out yesterday on foot/bus for shopping and managed to stay upright, but it is so windy that I can't ride my trike which is what I usually use for local shopping trips. I honestly can't remember weather like this in late May, it's so weird.

    UU Ted Baker shower gel - WIBA probably not. Got this for xmas in a gift set and whilst it all looks v pretty and smells nice I dont think the products are anything special. Onto No7 Foaming shower oil next!

    I have started using the BS Rainforest shampoo and conditioner as my head has flared up again quite badly from the JF blonde shampoo (love this but think I am going to have quit using this). The BS shampoo doesnt lather to much as its got no nasties but my head feels better and my hair is lovely and soft.

    I am v proud of myself got the Avon book at the weekend and have left in on the doorstep this morning with no orders!!

    Juliebunny - and from me as well, all good wishes for your friend. It's so true about enjoying every day, but sadly we get so caught up in the day-to-day routine that it often takes a sad occurence like that to bring it home to us.

    Hello all, I have a UU! Gingerbread Latte bath syrup which I use as a shower gel and shampoo

    Ooh, that does indeed sound lovely!

    Have another UU - a trial size Liz Earle Eyebright which I was using as eye make up remover. WIBA? Probably not. It was nice enough, but I already have my HG eye make up remover and it's a fraction of the price. Have kept the bottle though as it's a handy travel size for decanting.
