    Welcome to all newbies :)

    I already have an unintentional IN: A black mascara to test from B**ts (so free)

    UU
    Declaring it now as it'll be finished definitely on this application once I'm up
    Estee Lauder Idealist Serum WIBA? Yes. This is my HG serum and can feel the difference to when I don't use one. But going to use samples I have of P&P first (and wait for a good GWP/10% off)

    I suspect my BrandAlley order will be arriving today, but will post those ins on arrival :)

    Feeling a bit glum as well as having my monthly super-evil stomach cramps.

    Love is an awful thing sometimes :( Been trying to move on but failing miserably. Sorry ladies, needed to vent :(

    Kaz I do that too! I can't believe the prices of the BS in-store :eek:

    Welcome back Sarah*a! Glad you had a nice time :)

    Said I'd be late to work, so should think about getting up soon... :o

    Ohh Cuckoo For This Colour is niiiice! I might have to get that one day (even though I have a ton of green nail polishes!)
    Grrr I'm so annoyed :mad: Just taken off my orange collection 2000 nail varnish to find that it has stained my nails :eek:. this is despite me following the instructions and using a base coat :(. I've fired off a sharp email to them to complain. Does anyone have any advice about turning my nails back the right colour? It happened a few years back and I was told soak hands in water with denture tablets but this didn't work. Luckily my nails grow quick!

    It sounds mad, but try rubbing a slice of lemon over the stain - this should hopefully help to remove it.

    hi everyone no outs yet but possible ins later- friend from work wants to declutter her lush collection..who am i to say no :P lol

    ive found a good way to get rid of stains on nails is to do the tip from superscripmpers and use lemon juice.

    Some nice stash list being posted :p

    Sawan - hugs honey - hope you feel better :(

    Kaz - both my OH and my Dad are they same - can't sit still - drives you mad sometimes :wall:

    I'm a bit :mad: at OH today - he's ordered this ridiculously expensive (for us) Dog Food which I know they'll be fed up of within a week and we can't really afford it. Still - he won't do it again after he has to spend every night coaxing Moo to eat her dinner :rotfl:

    Heading into town to pick up some reading glasses for my Dad for Father's Day - There's a shop thats closing down and is selling them for 50p a pair so fingers crossed they still have his strength left :D

    I WILL avoid the cut-priced toiletries ;)

    Oh no I have failed already and it's only day 2! :(

    I've just been to Morrisons on my lunch break and all of the skincare was half price so I picked up a loreal face wash, loreal make up remover and a mascara as my HG was on special offer. I didn't even realise I had failed until I got back to my desk. I'm sooo disappointed in myself :wall:

    This is a big part of my problem, I don't even think when I am buying these things 'Do I need it?' !!

    Can you take it back after work and see if you can get a refund - I don't know what Morrisons policy is as I don't shop there - but if you really don't need it it's worth a try.

    If there anywhere you can go at lunchtime that isn't the shops? I'm lucky I work on the edge of the city and can have a little walk in the countryside/village each day - really helps and normally no money spent (unless I get a chocolate craving!)

    Im back - well actually got back about 2.30 yesterday but was too lazy to log on :p

    Had a few UUs

    3 sachets of Head and Shoulders - absolutly pants, hardly anything in the sachets and did buger all to my hair

    1 mini bottle of pantene shampoo

    1 mini tube of oil of aloe body wash

    Also took with me my 60ml bottles of BS White musk body lotion and body wash both which are pretty well used now too

    Techically have some Ins too but they are more suveniours rather than anything else. Picked up the mini pack of soap from the hotel and also on the holiday we went on an exurcsion which took us to a crazy market and bought some stuff incredibly cheap - including traditional tunisian soap half kilo for 50p :eek: we're not keeping it all though and will break it up for family too. Also bought Saffron for £1 - checked on the internet the amount we got should have been easily £20-£30 over here (probably going to be told its not real stuff although have it on fairly good authority its meant to be legit).....Same day also went on a wine tasting (more wine drinking) and ended up buying 3 bottles to bring home too alongside a jar of chili paste :D
