I have that. My DH got it for Christmas for me last year. I love it.

Photos!

Need to tidy out the cabinet methinks!


Freebies from the baloon fiesta


In use


Gloves and freebie No7 kit


Miscellaneous bits and bobs


Talc


Waxing


Moisturising


Washing


Shampoo (recently bought on 4 for £3- cheapest way to do it :money:).

I haven't photographed my makeup which is in a small bag because I forgot. I also forgot to picture the hemp foot lotion. All of the nail varnishes fit in the bag in the cabinet- that doesn't mean they are in there :whistle: but they all fit in there :dance:. I have 3 different varieties of cotton wool stuff on the go and I hate cotton wool, it makes me want to barf and one bottle of NV remover which is in another cupboard of doom .

Hope everyone's well?

Kaz - I can only dream of the day my stash will be that small and organised !!

2 UU for me so far in September

Sachet of Johnson's mineral shower gel - found still attached to a 2006 magazine I was putting in the recycling (I also have an old magazine stash cluttering up my flat!)

Avon Firming body lotion - WNBA, this literally took me years to UU so glad to see the back of it. I think it was discontinued years ago anyway so it can't have been very good at firming!!

Yeah alright then, I'll take an organization badge if you're handing them out so long as organization means shoving it all in a drawer on DH's side of the bed ! I did get to the stage where the drawer was bursting (around the time of the body shop glitch perhaps ) but it's becoming more manageable now. Just gotta get back into the swing of actually using the stuff haha!

What area do you live in? We live in South Manchester and have been on four Groupon deals within the City Centre. Out of those I only really rated one of the places, the Blue Parrot on Portland Street. Was only small so had a pub feel to it and the food was very good. I remember it was very good value for money. One of the restaurants we went to was really prompous and they seemed put out that everyone who came in that night had a Groupon voucher. They then stuck a £5.00 Service Charge on the bill which we were not impressed by.

we live near Cambridge and the place we went to was near Huntingdon funnily enough I was born in Manchester and have lived in Didsbury and Wilmslow!(small world!)my sister still lives there so will tell her about the Blue Parrot(shame her dH hate seating out!!)
we were actually the only 1 of 6 tables using groupon and I was shocked as if I had paid the £50 instead of £20 I think I would ask for a refund as estimate only about £10 worth of food max and the fruit fool was something I would throw together in 5 mins not what I expected from A Gordan Ramesey prize winner!!!!

am asking forgiveness in advance as off to town today as JL clinique bonus time is on and I do need my HG moisture surge as used it all up..............s*** and B***** have just checked and the offer ended on saturday:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
that leaves me with a coupon for laura mercier 3 day supply of foundation(if they have any left!) and a free shower gel if I spend £30 at Occitane

2 UU to report here:

Bobbi Brown Cleansing Oil - WNBA as even though I love it, its way too expensive. I got it quite cheap on ebay actually so may have a snoop round and see what I can get. Have decanted my Missha cleansing oil into the BB bottle though as it has a pump and the Missha bottle doesn't.

Clarins One Step Orange Cleanser - WNBA. Absolutely hated this stuff. I couldn't use it on my entire face as it dried it out, but if I just used in on my eyes it made them really oily *is confused* On to a Botanics eye makeup remover which I'm not too keen on but it was cheap.

I'm trying to be MSE about my skincare and toiletries but my skin just doesn't seem to cope well with anything that costs under £10 it seems! Oh well, good job the Avene stuff lasts me ages otherwise I'd be skinter than a skint thing in no time at all!

Sarah How's LD doing? If you have any samples left for the Maxfactor I'd like to try it please

He's doing great - healing very well and tearing round the house like a puppy He's gained a lovely good habit as well because we have had baby gates up to prevent him falling down the stairs he has had to let us know when he needed to 'go outside' and we have carried him down the stairs and let him out. Now he has his freedom from the vet collar and can go up and downstairs by himself again he is still barking to let us know he needs to go out :T:T

The Max factor samples finally arrived this morning - so pm your addy either on here or on FB and I'll get them sent asap. Rosemary - can you send me yours too? - and anyone else who wants one

Trudij So sorry to hear the news about Red - how awful for both of you, I'm glad to hear she's physically fine anyway, I guess the mental side of things will take her a while the same as it would a human. Lots of love, fuss and carrots.

Nothing to report on the UU front, but I do have two INS - the hair colour, which was needed, and will be used, and only cost me £1.50, and a rather beautiful nail varnish in "Sequinned Turquoise" which was a freebie with my Avon order this time round. (Thanks to two customers both ordering one item from a "buy 2 products and get XX free" promotion.) There was also a black makeup bag, lipstick & mini face cream with that but I've put those into the customer freebie stash. So nothing to declare in respect of my "unnecessary spends" date below. Can't believe I've gone this long!
