UU Tigi Superstar Conditioner 750ml so this was a LHJ! WBA as it smells lush and made my hair so soft it felt more like an intensive conditioner onto a TBS Rainforest one now.

Best of luck with TBS.
I have hated the shampoo for oily hair and am giving it away to a CS. It leaves me hair totally lank and greasy and it doesn't dry because it has a layer of grease. urgh. Revolting!:rotfl:

Do people store similar items together or in batches of 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner, 1 soap, 1 mascara etc?


Are amarya beauty boxes good? I'm subscribed to feel unique, glossybox and boudoir privee but dropping glossybox and possibly boudoir privee too. But wouldn't say no to trying a new one Uh oh...

i have 1 bag with all my make up stash in and 2 drawers with the rest. the top one is stuff to be used up first and the 2nd drawer is stuff to be used up later. I'm trying to have a queue system to stop me just using the nice stuff and leaving the stuff I'm not bothered about.

when there in the use now or use later drawers I've grouped together like items so all the shower gel is together and so on.

amarya is amazing. i dropped glossybox and i'm considering dropping bp/joliebox too. amarya is going nowhere thou! I've been a bit underwhelmed with gb and bp each time, I've always had one or two really good things and over the boxes I've had would have been cheaper buying the full sizes and i would have saved money!

Also does anyone despise body moisturising in the winter as much as I do??? I can't bear the coldness while waiting for it to soak in.

I find it helps to quickly rub the cream/lotion between hands before applying to body - it takes the chill off!

Apart from the things I'm currently using, I try to store things together in categories - so if I need a new shower gel/deodorant/talc etc, I can go to the right drawer and pick one out

Oxford Street had a million (ok, slight exaggeration) last week. But that's obviously only helpful if you're in London

I can't reply to everybody's posts that I want to - serves me right for not reading regularly.

Bev97, Sunshineyday and PudseyDB it's great to see some familiar faces return!! I am still a total nail polish addict I'm attempting a blog to help me use all my polishes. It's not working well with UUs obviously, but I can go back and see which colours I really like

I also use more of items when I'm closer to a UU or I don't really like them. Why prolong the agony? It's not very MSE, but I have so much stuff. I probably use about 25-40% more when I'm finishing shower gels off. Everything else the amount is the same. I mean, how much moisturiser can I put on my face?? :rotfl:

I've been spending the past 12 hours resisting the Naked 2 palette. I'm doing well so far - so yay me!!

Hi Sawan :hello: I always loved your lovely nailpolish pics. A blog sounds like a great idea, do you have a link to it? I'm trying very hard not to buy anymore as I had to buy a toolbox:eek: to keep them all in, the daft thing is that during work I'm not allowed to wear nail varnish so unless I paint my toenails a different colour every day I'm never going to get through it all.

I have a few In's to confess to ladies.

I was in TBS today armed with my dispatch notices from online orders to get my card stamped. It took me up to the 5th one, so I was due £5 for reaching my 4th one, plus it's my birthday month so I was due £5 for that too.
I walked out with:
Candid Ginger Body Butter
Candid Ginger Body Scrub
Spiced Vanilla Shower Gel
Spiced Vanilla Body Lotion

all for the grand total of £4.50

I have also listed 6 toiletry products on Ebay, so I'm thinking the they cancel each other out, no?

Three more UU to report, going great guns at the moment!

Sure Cotton Dry roll on - has been a long winded affair to use lately, having to angle it at all different directions to get enough out - so happy its finally completely finished! WBA as swear by Sure but couple more in stash so no need as yet.

Other two are a bit of a fiddle as only 10ml sachets but it all counts right and they have been knocking around for ages - Tresemme Colour Revitalise shampoo and conditioner - probably WNBA - Ok as such but prefer volumising products for my fine hair.

Currently awaiting a response from Boots about the allergic reaction I've had to Protect & Perfect - hoping for a giftcard or something to compensate for this awful rash I've had for days now - flaky and dry today but thankfully no longer painful or red.

Sat in a toasty warm house at last after central heating packed up on Thursday night - may take full advantage and have a nice soak in the bath shortly, what to use though??? I've my eye on some Bomb Cosmetics bath melts my OH bought me for Christmas but I'm trying to stick to use older stuff first... May cave in though and treat myself. Bath products stash such as bubble bath, bath bombs etc isn't too bad really as its not something I tend to buy myself so I won't feel too bad

Have to confess to a NPI today, went to Debenhams and had a look at the Elemis little superstars collection (reduced to £28ish). Was very tempted to buy it even though I already have larger sizes of all the products in it. Thankfully the OH was with me, took one look at it and declared me 'insane' to want to spend that on such small products (hmmn little does he know :rotfl:)

I've got a UU

Lush massage bar that was bought in san francisco in august and brought home cz i didn't use it over there. i can't remember the name of it but its heart shaped and has a block of chocolate in it that went EVERYWHERE. i melted the whole thing and used it as a whole body moisturising treatment then sat in the bath with it on with no bubble bath added so it didn't wash off. worked a treat but i was slipping about everywhere :rotfl: WBA because its a nice treat.

First UU of the year...it's a tiny one...L'Occitane Verbena Cooling Hand Gel (15ml).

WIBA? I don't need a hand cooling gel, so probably not, but the smell is GORGEOUS - it smells like sweets!

I'll have to get verbena something else instead when the stash is used up.
