    Hi Ladies
    Welcome to 2012. I first joined this site at the beginning of 2010 and haven't posted since then. Needless to say my tioletry stash hasn't decreased!!!
    In 2012 I am going to make a real effort to decrease my tioletry stash as well as declutter my house

    Here's hoping I can make it

  • i have a UU

    Acorelle perfume sample - WNBA. not my kind of scent.

    also I found some Powderflage!! :j :beer: :T found some in House of Fraser. girl knew nothing about it being discontinued and couldn't say where boots had got that from. knew nothing about it being taken off the UK website either. anyway, i got 2 pots just in case boots are right. its only powder so it shouldn't go off before i get to use it.
  • UU - TBS warming facemask. Got another one stashed, WNBA though.

    Well done finding powderflage Evilsquid.

    i think us ladies are a breed SA aren't trained for yet :rotfl:

    ....but it's fun watching them try :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Asset: {{{HHHUUUGGGSSS}}} I can't add anything to what others have said so will just leave big hugs :(:)

    1 UU: Avon Cherry Hair Refresher: WIBA? Probably if on offer for £1 or so. I think it's basically a detangler (which I use anyway) with a more grown-up fragrance :p

    Hi all,
    3 UU for me:
    Bodylisshuss! pomegranate body butter 50ml- WIBA? It was a nice butter, good consistency, would like to try the almond one i've seen in store! (eventually, lol)

    Radox spa care wellbeing bubble bath 500ml- WIBA? I love this scent! if I had to choose one bubble bath all the time, it would be this. I think it has been discontinued though :( I have seen it in B&Ms though, so next time i'm there I will pick up a couple.

    Loreal elvive colour protect shampoo 400ml- WIBA? I was given this from a friend, I liked it, but I wouldn't go out and buy it.

    I also have nearly finished (spluttering) facial mosturiser and lipbalm, so they'll be next to go.

    1 IN freebie from Tesco Beauty- Barbara Daly lipbalm in candy - The last thing I need is more lip products!!
  • Happy weekend everyone. Going to catch up! No IN's and no OUT's either :/

  • Serious near-purchasing incident today: went into Boots and they had a very appealing stand with half price Philosophy Christmas gifts. Picked up several and had a look at them but with great difficulty put them back on the shelf :j

    Also, used up a Fizzy O'Therapy bath ballistic from Lush. Wouldn't buy it again - it smelled lovely, but turned the bath the colour of wee and left some kind of powdery residue around the bath (and me!) that I had to rinse off. It looked like sand, but I think it was ginger powder!

    Just a quick reminder ladies- it's free listing on ebay this weekend. I'm using it to clear some of my (unfortunately non- toiletry) stuff.

    I was just about to say isn't it just coconut oil..:rotfl:

    well, I sold about 6 things on ebay to the same person (which I posted last week) and they have decided that they don't want to pay the postage (even though I offered combined postage...) but nothing sold for much so I would be making an even bigger loss:mad: so it has been cancelled and the items are still in my stash. I wish they would've asked instead of bidding on everything THEN asking for a discount on postage.

    so that's 6 not-OUTs:(

    anyway 1 UU:

    olay night cream-WNBA

    Some ebayers are so freaking rude. I'm mad for you. Please Email me their bidder name, so I can block them from my auctions please.:mad:
