  • Five in's to confess to.

    2 x L'occitane rose handcreme (a gift)
    Aveda Damage Remedy conditioner
    Aveda Smooth infustion conditioner
    Aveda shower gel

    In my defense the shower gel was my Aveda birthday gift and I had a voucher and double points token for the two conditioners :D

    Evening all,

    Two use ups for me today, bit sad to see them go!

    Thierry Mugler Angel Shower Gel and and body lotion, for once I managed to finish a set in the same day:D.

    Angel is my favourite perfume although a bit too expensive to buy for myself, loved the shower gel and body lotion so will definitely make sure Santa brings me a full gift set :D.

    Also used up a toothpaste but can't really call that part of my stash:rotfl:.
  • Still procrastinating about the stash .... oh the shame lol

    Couple of outs though:-
    M&S fruity shower gel. WNBA nothing special, christmas gift/
    One of the Loreal moisturisers WNBA ok but didnt really do what it was supposed to.

    3 give aways
    1 spray hair product
    Vitamin E body lotion both the my mother.
    Radox shower gel.

    Toiletries are my major weakness. Have toned down the make up stash and now have settled on some hero products that really work. Bare Escentuals foundation and bronzer. Mac concealer. Grey eyebrow pencil. Borjois clubbing mascara, does not wander on me. Too may eye shadows. Some lipstics but find it hard to find good ones for work that last. Max Factor stopped one of my favorite ones, so searching for another. CAnt get on with the long lasting two stage ones, two drying and uncomfortable to wear, also never found a good every day wear.

    Onwards ladies xx

    One IN that I bought today which I also UU today. ;)

    Schwarzkopf XXL Live Cosmic Blue - WIBA? - Yes. As stated before, I love it. :p Bought another one today because there were some bits of hair that the previous hair dye hadn't covered so wanted to cover them. :) Was only 89p because I used £4 worth of Superdrug points to pay for most of it. :D

    It's a bit quiet in here today. I hope everyone's not out only to come back and end up on the naughty step!

    UU
    Anna Sui Night of Fancy shower gel 200ml: WIBA? I didn't buy it and wouldn't. It's one of the countless ones sister2 has given me recently. It's nice, but the fragrance is really strong. I wouldn't mind if that meant it lasted, but it doesn't. Only about ten minutes!

    Debating whether to move onto the Boss XX one she bought me or S&G Clean on me from the tote. Probably the S&G. Currently using a BS nectarine & plum body lotion I found in with my perfumes (trying to escape?) So using that instead of my coconut shimmer bb currently. Smells ok, rubs in ok, but when I touch my skin a minute later it still feels a bit dry :s Has anybody else had a similar problem?

    LadyM I can't wait to see your hair!

    And I liked the colours which is why I chose that one. And it's a good price, a similar one with 8 drawers at Hobbycraft was about £35 :eek:

    Carolyn Hope you had a nice trip :)

    Sarah I hope you have a lovely trip :)

    Hi ladies!

    Two INs today, although I am tempted to not count them as I didn't have any. The culprit? Baptiste Dry Shampoo.

    Replacements, yay! :D

    Oops!!!

    I've been naughty too :o:o

    I was in SD today and treated myself to the Vitamin E Hot cloth cleanser and also the Facial oil:o:o

    I'm not sure why I bought them as I'd been promised a trip to John Lewis (thanks for the tip Hanval;)) tomorrow to get some Liz Earle bits to try on my face which incidentally is looking much better after a few nights slathered in Jojoba oil with a few drops of both lavender oil and tea tree oil for good measure. Perhaps I'll hang fire on JL and see how I get on with these for a few days (although I still need a day time moisturiser:p as using up all the ones I already have (and there's a few:o on my feet).

    Pickle - was your Batiste on offer? I'm down to my last can (again)?

    Alas, no, but I was unexpectedly passing a Bodycare, which is cheap in general, so I stocked up while I had the chance: I don't pass them often.

    Best of luck in bagging a bargain! :)

    1 UU :j

    avon frizz control lotus shield: WIBA? hmm not sure, it didn't control my frizz as much as it claimed, but it did make my hair quite shiny and smoother. I have another in the stash anyway.

    hope you're all well:)
