    Just dropping by to report a UU:)

    Soft & Gentle aromatherapy deo - WBA but can't as I prefer the sticks and it's been discontinued :( Onto my part used Mitchem stick which leaves only one deo (another Mitchem) left in the stash :T

    2 INs:

    a friend gave me 2x BS shower gels that she got for christmas and didn't want because she only uses olive shower gel. Being a fellow BS addict she gave them to me. I now have Mango and Pink Grapefruit 250ml shower gels. In return I gave her an avon nail polish (which was a GWP) and eyeliner as well as 4 BS samples.

    FannyAdams- If there is still a lot left of the eyeshadow you can break it up into smaller pieces, add surgical spirit (rubbing alcohol) to make it into a paste and using a tissue press it until most of the alcohol is gone and leave it to dry. It should be as good as new :) I say this because I know MAC eyeshadows are expensive and it seems a waste
    http://bycelina.com/storage-solutions/how-to-save-a-cracked-powder-product-press-a-mineral-product/ explains it better and with pictures :)

    all this talk of nail polish is tempting but unfortunately I can't wear nail polish (for religious reasons):(

    Helen I'm sitting smelling my hands looking crazy because I love the scent of lavender, and my skin is no longer cracking! Yay!!

    , I'm only commenting because I can relate as one of my friends didn't for the same reason, but recently has started wearing lighter colours (she was worried about looking like a h****i tart (I've blanked it out in case I get misconstrued, but hopefully adilade will work it out!)). My Mum does, but takes it off for various days/events/functions.

    Received a travalo perfume spray I ordered to try to decant my EA Green Tea perfume into, which went funny after I dropped it & the nozzle fell off.

    I have major monthly pains :(

    Ordered a couple of polishes, but glad I'm not counting them anymore! Orly Fowl Play, Nubar White Polka Dot, Nubar Black Polka Dot & Nubar 2010 :)

    Sorry for rambling!!

    Ramble away my lovely !!! :)

    Thankyou for saying what I was thinking about the ticket - hes been a bit weird lately,but he says hes just tired, and its about right for him to be starting to get nervous,it means such a lot to him to get a cheltenham winner and this horse hasnt quite fufilled the promise that he showed last year - hes got another really good one that might go as well,but its really a year too early for him,so hes worried that if they insist on running it he will get ruined - its hard when the one thing you want above everything else is a festival winner,and you can see it slipping away... :( hopefully it will be fine though - and hopefully this horrible sense of foreboding ive got creeping in about him and me is wrong... who knows - i certainally cant change anything,whatever will be will be....

  • Can I join?? I followed the January thread but only succeeded in ordering more stuff I saw on other peoples stashes! Not the desired result!!
    I'm more determined this month, still working up the nerve to compile a stash list though!
    Luckily I have a couple of splutterers so should have some use up's soon!! :D

    First February uu to report, L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cream (Trial size from Christmas gift set). WIBA? No, not keen on scent and full size expensive.

    Bought Easy Living to get my free hand cream tomorrow, works great on my dry hands. May have a couple of INs to report tomorrow as I need night cream and I'm rubbish at resisting the three for two offers.

    I love nail envy(

    From reading all the posts it sounds like nail envy might be the product for me. I have bitten and still do my nails for year!! They are soft and once they get a certain length break.

    I have just looked nail envy up on amazon is it the original or the matt version I should buy?

    Thanks Jarus xx
