  • Sorry to but in everyone, but I desperately need some more participants for my masters thesis. Appears that I have lost a large amount of data somewhere and I'm panicking now! The link is HERE and it will take about 10 mins tops! Thank you all who help me out!

    Have filled it in too - looks like a very interesting thesis topic - good luck with it! :)

    Ruby - have filled your thing in for you - good luck with it :D

    Thanks for all the advice on cotton pads - I'll definately look out for the Asda ones - and will check out Tesco too! I can't deal with the re-usable ones as I never feel clean after :p

    Thank you so much everyone! Went to finish writing up my results section and realised a whole bunch of data had just gone *!!!!!!* into thin air! Have a UU to report to:

    Bobbi Brown Hydrating Face Cream - Found this during my panic last night and realised that I had got this free when I bought my Cleansing Oil on ebay. Didn't like the scent so didn't use it on my face but have been using it as a hand cream! Worked out quite well actually!

    Helen - I think you are right - its the promise of this cream or that potion making the perfect woman that draws people in - and its never going to work. The people that that sort of thing matters to really dont matter !!!

    Hi. I have my first UU of September - L'occitane Verbena soap (only the mini sized though). Have a couple more of these in my stash but am not going to use one as yet (will probably take one away with me and leave it there) as I have other shower gels open and want to use them up too.

    Have also just painted my nails. Am wearing Indulgence by Leighton Denny. Lovely red colour.

    When we were in John Lewis yesterday I saw some of the new OPI colours and was not very impressed. Doesn't look like I'll be bringing any of those home with me from US.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
