InAPickle I love my Benefit Sugarbomb!! Do you mix the colours together or just use one?

I mix 'em (it would be a nightmare to try to use them individually!) The colour comes out a bit pink, a bit peachy, a bit something else. It's neither one nor the other really, which is what I think annoys me a bit. I will revert to Clarins next time. Or try to find something else.

Actually, speaking of which ladies, I have about half a bottle of heat barrier for my hair left. It's Tresemme. I'm not sure if it makes a difference. Can anyone recommend something that definitely *works* for my next purchase? Fanks!

Afternoon ladies! A UU to report here (I seem to be getting lots this month - which oddly I didn;t expect!)

S&G The Fab Pore Hot Cloth Cleanser - WIBA? Yes - I liked this a lot. There was something about the ritual of massaging it on, then waiting before washing it off again, that appealed I think. I ditched the muslin cloth fairly early on though in favour of my regular flannel.

I've now got the last of my Olay Total Effects ones from the hoard I amassed with the Boots skinnies a while back. These were the 87p ones....I can see a few of you nodding your heads!

An angled blusher brush does the trick I usually swirl together, but sometimes just use said brush to pick up two colours instead

I have an Osis heat protection spray, but I couldn't tell you if it's working or not. I still lose hair whenever I wash it (London water)!!

Emmarillo that is a stash and a half!! Good luck! Love the things on your list! You have made me feel a bit better about mine now!

went to town for the first time this year and did not buy any clothes(tell the girls on clothes challenge how good I am:rotfl:)

I do have some ins tho.....I bought DH a set of stuff down from £18 to £10 at occcitanne(why do they put soap in all the boxes?I told the SA I have so much soap I could sell them some!) which I am not counting as not for me:rotfl:whilst there I asked for the body lotion from before Christmas,they had none of course but the sa kindly gave me a samll bottle of cleanser plus a sample of face cream:)

I got the clinique mascara but somehow managed to sign up to go for a eyemakeover in 3 weeks....will not go as thought this was a bit cheeky as did not realise what was happening till she asked if a date was ok then felt a bit stupid if I said I was not going!

Alos got the lancome 7 days sample foundation,went to jl and the sa gave me 2 to try and said I could go back for more,then into boots and the sa just gave me 1 so ended up with two of 1 colour and 1 of another so not a bad days work:rotfl:

Ladies,

Another UU here:

Sanctuary body butter 150ml. This is divine - not too heavy & a lovely, long lasting scent. It could well become a holy grail product. I do have some more in the stash, but have to work my way through some of the older stuff first.

Boots Extracts Mango Body Butter - WBA - This is absolutely gorgeous, smells divine, is a nice consistency and sinks into your skin well. Skin still felt really soft the next day after showering and skipping moisturising (just don't have time in the morning). If all my body lotion stash was as nice to use as this I wouldn't have such a backlog or aversion to religiously moisturising!


Gave myself a pat on the back after shopping in Chester on Saturday

Haven't tried the mango one, but a have a set of cocoa butter and agree this is really nice. And shopping in Chester, there's nowhere nicer ;-)

I have one UU, the Neals Yard frankincense shower cream. It smells lovely but doesn't produce any foam so I ended up using rather a lot at a time and have finished it quite quickly (mixed blessing there ). I can now crack open the Neals Yard orange and geranium shower gel.

2 x UU

Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion, 30ml. WNBA, maybe its ok as a sample but im finding it makes my skin really really greasy!
Primark Sensitive Skin Wipes - 1 more to use in stash. Cheap, cheerfull and do the job


1x IN

Victorinox Perfume Sample

Fiasco55

Welcome newbies!

Emmarillo - don't be too hard on yourself. You have faced up to the stash and are on here so it is all good. Now is the time to start getting into some of those goodies and enjoy using your lovely stash.

Morning and welcome if I've missed any newbies :hello:

Bit chuffin' cold init :eek:



I got mine today - I just came on to post it :rotfl:



I'd forgotten about that! Just checked their FB and it looks like they extended it until yesterday (lots of complaints about it not being available in Belfast!) and emails will be sent next week. Hope they are not as rude as they were about the last offer - mind you I got a big bottle of body lotion as an apology so I guess they can be as rude as they like :rotfl:

So: IN's:

Barbara Daly (Tesco) Lipgloss. I'm in two minds as to whether this is too pink for me. I haven't opened it and it may go in the teenage neice gift box

Off to test my luck with the combo discount is BS today - I also have a White Stuff voucher and both me and DD like their lipbalms so may come back with one (or two ). Might get some socks for OH though instead :rotfl:

Have a great day - and it looks like the Boots 75% is go for tomorrow so early to bed :rotfl:

Thanks for the update Sarah*a - roll on next week

Another UU this morning (after another late night - this time due to an emergancy call out to work) Batiste dry shampoo. WBA - it is the best dry shampoo I have tried. I am now on my last full size can.

My Sure deo is still holding on....
