    I'm in!


    I have so many toiletries and makeup. I have a 4 drawer storage tower full and not everything will fit in there so I have loads of toiletries in the spare room too.
    I just received my order from ELF but this is the last time I'll be buying toiletries and makeup until my massive stash has gone substantially.
    I'll make a list of what items I have and how many soon. :)

    Hello Lady M, nice to see you over on here. Hope you enjoy using up all your stash and having a very thorough daily pamper.
    I feel far more positive about myself since I started this challenge, I love the little daily decisions of 'what beautiful things shall I use today?' My skin is in great nick too.

    A small UU. A Boots Lavender Garden Collection hand wash that I was using as shower gel. It came with a screw off cap in a tube, I don't like to use hand washes packaged like this so it was always going to be shower gel. This was part of the set I won in a raffle earlier this year. Just the guest soap is left now. WIBA? It's no longer made, and I wouldn't anyway. It didn't have any real lavender in it. It got me clean and it did smell pleasant, but that was it.

    Hi all,
    I've made a new list of all the stuff that has to go this month. :j
    One UU: A homemade (not by me!) Rose scented soap. Lovely, but a little soft so was used very quickly. Using up a hotel freebie now!
    My spluttering No7 scrub is still going, I cut open the tube the other day and there's loads left! Very mse.

    Bunch of outs, that are needing to be chucked!
    1 Swarzkopf supersoft hairspray- bought for a special hair occasion around 5 years ago-don't ever use hairspray, wouldn't want to use it now.
    1 John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum Finishing Spray- This was great when I first bought it, about 4 years ago! Has turned cloudy when it used to be clear, so out it goes.
    1 Mineral Salt Crystal deodorant stick- didn't work for me, and has been opened longer now than it recommends.

    Have a good Wednesday everyone.

    Has anyone ever had a fraudulent transaction on paypal, I have one which paypal have flagged up today for £333.95:eek:which is nothing to do with us, the delivery address is some woman in London, have filed a dispute but OMG there was no money in my paypal account so my bank account is down by that much.

    I had one a couple of years ago - £90 something - got it back from paypal but it took about 4 weeks :eek: It's not nice is it :mad:

    Is it instore as well as online. Still have that £5.00 giftcard to use up. Think I'll go down into town for a mooch tomorrow lunch time.

    Don't forget the giftcard is only valid until the 8th July and they don't let you use it on sale items :( I tried :p

    One UU: Boots Vit E Toner: WIBA? I have one in the stash but will definately buy again - it's not too stringent and smells quite nice. Will wait for the next 3for2 skincare offer though :D

    Also forgot to add, I had a NPI yesterday. :(
    Almost came out of Debenhams with a Bare Minerals eyeshadow and a kit of 5 Lancome juicy tubes and a mini mascara.

    Must not go into Debenhams again for a while.

    Thank you. :D Everyone seems really friendly on this thread. I have a slight toiletrie and makeup buying obsession. I find it hard to resist pretty things and nice smelling things. :o I'm determined though. :p Would be nice to save the money too!

    I want to list all the makeup and toiletries I have to use but I'm a little worried that the list would be way too long.

    Would you mind if I possibly used that quote on some of my Avon stuff at some stage? I'd just attribute it to "Mrs B." - it's great to have positive reviews from real people though!


    That would be fine, am really impressed with the whole range. :j

    Ladymorticia, don't worry we will not bat an eyelid at the size of your stash, some of us on here have epic lists.

    sarah - hope my paypal thing doesn't take 4 weeks, think I need to ring the bank and put them in the loop or they will be charging me.
