    The Sparkler is lovely- a very soft (rather than coarse) glitter in a soft pink- it's a gorgeous shimmer, very sophisticated rather than garish. It can be used in hair and on the body and doesn't rub off onto your clothes. It also smells lovely and doesn't irritate the skin.

    I recommend you don't buy it- you may have to stock up you see and I don't want to be accused of leading you into temptation :D:p

    Hey everyone! please can i join too? my stash is unbelievable, according to my spreadsheet its got 285 items in it! :embarrass

    I went to the states in summer and went a bit mad in Sephora then came back and discovered all the new beauty boxes that i couldn't resist trying.

    Anyone got any tips on resisting??

    Welcome evisquid :wave: I'm pretty sure it's illegal to try and resist Sephora if you're in the US. What did you get out there? We visited Orlando in October and my stash grew from that trip. Has to be done "when in Rome".

    Lynsey/Sawan - I had a lovely break thank you - although relaxing wasn't really the word I would use :rotfl: 8 hours shopping with my Mum on Tuesday and then 6 hours walking around York with OH on Weds and Thurs :eek: Thankfully only a couple of hours out on the Friday - plus dog walks and train journeys :D Exhausting! but fun and over too soon :o

    We are going to York for an overnight stay on 3 December. Are there any Christmas markets on? I want to go to the Castle Museum however have been outvoted by MrM and Emma and called boring!

    I am trying to resist the latest BS offer £25 off a £50 spend :p trying really hard ...
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    The soap mountain will probably keep me here for a fair old while yet too...:rotfl:

    welcome newbies, HUGS for you Rosemary - tough position for you to be in. Glad the holiday was lovely (whoever it was who went away - cant remember now cos im a numpty!) :)


    WISA?? - LOVE IT !!!!! :T


    no ins, but did UU the small ted baker body souffle last night, WIBA? yes, but the next one (when im allowed to start it) is already sitting in the gift set that Im not allowing myself to break into until Ive used more stuff. (and ive got a diddy stinky dove one to finish first)


    Just a thought - but would anyone be interested in a toiletries secret santa?? wouldnt take much to organise, Im sure - and we could all shop from our stash too.. im happy to organise if people are up for it???

    I'm rubbish at listing my stash (as in, there is no list :p) and so I'm useless at the 'swap shop' on fb, but a toiletries secret santa I can definitely manage (no lists involved :D). It's a great idea Trudi :T Count me in :)

    p.s. I'm so glad for the company ladies :D
