    did I mention...confess to buying 6 body butters/scrubs with the 50% extra off BS code????so only £3 a tub!!definately on the top naughty step now:rotfl:

    started using the YSL eyeshadows over the weekend....you do get what you pay for,they are lovely,powder but go on as smooth as a cream and stay put all day(even after a siesta!colours are lovely too,did the purple/lilac pairing and then the turquoise /lilac for a daytime look that was softer....trouble is will I want to buy more cololurs now??!!!!!economy thought tho the darkest colour worked as a pencil would to underline eyes so would actually save money in the longrun:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi Ladies!

    Not been able to keep up with wedding and packing, but finally in Dubai. Staying in a hotel we stayed in last time about 3 years ago when it was surrounded by building site. Now the view from the window is of the Burj Khalifa http://i1187.photobucket.com/albums/z399/sawan82/IMAG0104.jpg!! The Dubai Mall is a five minute walk away (if you don't melt before you get there!!) Hoping to use up a few of my travel sizes.

    It felt weird to not have posted and I missed you all so jumped online on a super-slow net connection!!

    I hope everybody's well and I'll try to keep up :)

    Got to crack open that Dior palette too, still working up the nerves :p

  • Hi all,

    I know this is probably not the place to post this but was wondering your ideas might be able to assist me.

    I have a lot of unwanted toiletries i.e hair products, skin products, eye cream, nail varnishes, lip glosses, hand cream.
    Mostly are used, I don't think charity shops except these due to hygenic reasons but surely somewhere would appreciate these? I tried to sell them at a boot sale yesterday and quite a few went but am left with 2 shoe boxes filled with products. It feels a waste to just chuck them in the bin...

    Anyway any help would be great! :)

    Morning all!

    Another UU last night - one greek olive soap, only about 11 to go now!! My Aldi night cream is going to bite the dust this week and I am being over generous with my B&H body scrub, can't stand it.

    Sawan - how nice of you to say Hi from dubai, hope you're having a great time!

    Now there's a facebook swapsies group but I don't know if anyone would accept used items... I can't remember who you have to speak to on here to become a member so I can't really help xD

    IN: Herbal Essences smooth and shine shampoo with a 50p off voucher.

    Nearly bought that lovely purple nv today, £1.99 from the Hub in Stafford and it's in a bigger bottle but I was just too tight with my money after spending £9 on getting my boots re heeled. Does anyone know if that's expensive?
    Savings £8,865.22 £/15,000 Aiming to save enough for a house deposit.
  • another 2 UU's
    Toni and Guy Straight and Protect Shampoo and Conditioner
    WIBA? No, got them as a gift, for the price they are they don't do anything for my hair

    Also have some of my Lush and Mac stash on Ebay. I'm not going to use them, they are going to waste sitting in boxes here! Might as well make some money out of them!

    Here's something that may be of use: http://www.giveandmakeup.com/

    Also check out your local homeless shelters. I'm sure they'd appreciate them. :)

    Used stuff is being swapped, you just need to say it's used when you offer it :D

    If anyone wants to be added just PM me or Sarah*A a link to your facebook and we'll add you as a friend then add you to the group :D

    Afternoon All.

    Welcome newbies - one and all.

    sawan - hope you have a lovely time.

    Willow - £9 is definitely cheaper than new boots, that is how I would look at it.
