  • Hi all

    My first UU! Nivea light touch body lotion....only a 30ml one, but I don't care - I've never used up a body lotion before...ever..... *skips around the room*. WIBA? Nothing against it, but it's nothing special. Now onto the full sized ones - so daunting in their full-sizeyness...I barely remember to moisturise my face, so they're gonna last years!

  • Sold a eyeshadow on ebay (famous by sue moxley merged in shade 2), UU: simple night cream WIBA? no just a average moisturizer a bit greasy though, sex in the city showergel came in a cheap gift set wouldn't repurchase, I care 5 in 1 eye make up remover wipes (dried up). Ins: aussie 3 minute miracle deconstructer (1/2 price), batiste dry shampoo (1/2 price) blistex relief cream (really needed this thanks to the heating being turned on my lips are so dry and sore!), lipcote (had a voucher), superdrug colour effects wash in wash out conditioning colour in warm chocolate brown x2.
  • Still no UUs but at least no more Ins! My TIGIs also upside down now, hate trying to get it out of those bottles
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • Hi, I was just having a nosey around the boards and I stumbled upon you guys :) WOW I can't believe the determination you all have its really fab.

    Another UU. Sainsbury's Baby Wipes.

    WIBA? Well, to be honest, I didn't buy them in the first place, but I was using them instead of face wipes and they were a bit stingy on the face, so no. :(

    One down, many to go. ;)

    Good middle of the night ladies.

    I am still up having a freak out about my packing STILL not finished and I fly out tomorrow. This is not good. I have decided for clarity of the mind I will take some time out to regroup, post on here and then sort a plan of attack after I few hours kip.

    I did have a UU tonight - my Nivea facial wipes which I like as they are for combo skin.

    I have sorted out the toliteries for my holiday and only need to add in a few things after I use them in the morning. Have taken a good few minis with me so here wishing for some UU action. :D

    See you all in two and a half weeks time. Even if I do win big in Vegas I will still pop in to say hello and declaire my winnings have all been spent at Bed, Bath & Beyond , Sephoria and Saks :rotfl:

    If you read this, Fiasco, safe journeys and a lovely time. Good luck with the gambling!

    Interesting few days, I went to see Jimmy Cricket in a show locally last night - last minute thing when a friend was saddled with a ticket they couldn't shift. Well, it was absolutely brilliant, far, far better than I expected. He's a legend, so funny and no blue jokes and smut in sight. I was in tears laughing and my face hurt. The support acts were great too.
    Spookily as I walked in I was asked if I was me by the wife of the producer of the show. I'd babysat for her over twenty years ago. She'd remembered my full name which nobody ever does. What a memory. It's not as if I saw a lot of her, I'm pretty sure it was only 4 evenings.

    A UU to report. Bodylisshuss Body Butter in Cocoa 200g (Poundland)
    WIBA? No, not this one, though the range is excellent - every bit as good as those costing a lot more. It is VERY chocolatey, if you love smelling of chocolate you will absolutely adore this. I discovered I didn't like smelling of chocolate as much as I thought I would. Next time I buy one, it will be the coconut, I think, that one is lovely. Lots more to use though, a strawberry BB from the same range is on the last quarter, plus an unopened Aldi Lacura Pure range. And the butters my friend gave me a few weeks ago.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
  • Argh I forgot to tag myself onto this months challenge! I'm in! Need to look at the stash and try to write it all down! My main problem is the makeup stash. I think I'm going to give myself another year to find what I really like and then chuck what I don't and start afresh in 2013!

    Hello ladies,

    Sorry I have been awol this month, haven't posted at all. Had a death in the family so have been over to England 4 times in as many weeks.

    Hence not much action with my stash, no UUs this month so far and 3 INs, airport frustration purchases!
    Nails Inc - freebie with InStyle
    Clinique lipgloss - had the mini one free with Glamour and was quite impressed, so bought the full size
    Cerutti edt 30ml - my HG perfume and by handbag sized one is getting low, so this one was justified!

    Am going to catch up on all your news, hope everyone is well!
    Do nothing in haste; look well to each step; and from the beginning think what may be the end - Edward Whymper
