That's alright maddiemay

Adela31 I have heard lots about Nail Envy. It's going on my list too. I've also heard good things about the Mavala strengthener. I won't buy both though!

I used to count nail varnish INs, until I lost count

Got my lavendar L'Occitane hand cream out & now at work. I love this one, I'd definitely say L'Occitane hand creams are now my HG. My skin has been so awfully dry this week with the weather

Welcome back Lady M & Blue Elephant

Rosemary, I would also just put in on the radiator

Trudij ditto what VALM said. There's no point risking not going, just sell the ticket if he does manage to get you one!

IN
S&G Thick & Fast mascara - 'somebody' who buys the magazines for the reception at work bought Elle

I wholeheartedly agree with you re L'Occitane lavender hand cream. It saved my hands from contact dermatitis years ago. Sadly I don't have one in the stash at the mo. My hands have been feeling it this last week or so but I do have a bottle of Elemis Lime & Ginger hand lotion in the bathroom, a bottle of Molten Brown White Mulberry hand lotion in the kitchen and a bottle of OPI Avojuice on my desk at work so can't justify buying a L'Occitane one at the mo. All these products work just as well but don't smell as lush as the L'Occitane one. In fact I can't wait to finish the Avojuice as it is too floral smelling for me.

Like your style with the magazines! I saw Elle in ASDA yesterday but didn't buy. I'm drowning in mascara at the mo. Did have a look at the Easy Living mag but there was no handcream on it. Is this only available in selected stores?

I love nail envy, I only had a&e, because it was given to me in a set.
I am actually on a major nail polish ban for 2012. I'm not allowed to buy a single nail polish. It's really hard, but it's for a good cause, so I'm just going to stay away from temptation and try not to look at new collections. I had almost 300 polishes last year, and have been doing really well at selling them off, I'm down to about 150 now. I love anything by OPI, so it's really hard!:(

Woah tokkiandoliver 300 polishes! And I have MrM moaning about me having 95! I bow to you. You must own all the OPI back catalogue! Is there a colour range you end up buying over and over again. I own a lot of reds.

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.

Hi Clarey, where did yo get your copy of Easy Living from. The ASDA local to work didn't have the freebies on them.

It's a voucher to take into the store, I haven't bought the magazine yet, trying to be strong!

Ah, I won't be bothering then. I never really go into Manchester these days and am not going to make the journey just for the L'Occitane store. It's about time they opened one in the Trafford Centre.

Up to you! I am wearing matte at the minute, it still has a sheen to it, like I have buffed my nails. But until the special offer on QVC last beauty weekend I always wore Original.

I believe the only difference is the look of the finish rather than the treatment consistency. QVC always sell it on offer with a bottle of Avoplex oil.

Once again ladies I'd recommend getting the Leighton Denny crystal file to use alongside the Nail Envy. I've recommended it to a few friends and they've noticed a difference too after getting one. I'm not on commission with LD by the way. :rotfl:

Think I may be posting later with more UUs as several products are spluttering away at the mo.

Hi, for all you ladies looking for Nail Envy John Lewis have this great offer on at the mo as well:-

:eek::eek::eek: My MAC Wonder Woman marquise D' lipstick on ebay is at £28 (a bid from the states too, so $45 for a lipstick?!) with 4 days still to go! I'm now so glad it didn't suit me. I have another one which I used once (and discovered it was cack in real light grr), need to find a way to sell or get rid of that.

I've had a few UUs in the last few days:
Stila Perfect & Correct Foundation- WBA if I can get it on sale, though I have another bottle
Olay Beauty Fluid SPF15- WBA
Lee Stafford Purple Shampoo- WBA 100% best blonde shampoo on earth
Batiste Blonde Dry Shampoo- WBA, already replaced with 5 bottles on 1/2 price at Superdrug. Is there any dry shampoo which is as good as batiste? Especially with a blonde tint?


I need to find a new liquid foundation. Sometimes I just don't wanna wear minerals, I want to look dewy!
I don't get on with Chanel colours, don't like Laura Mercier, MAC and Estee break me out, never had a good high street one. Can anyone help me pleeeease?
A light foundation for someone with very pale, sensitive skin that doesn't like being suffocated. I'm thinking maybe trying something natural or No Foundation Foundation?

Try Nail envy instead of a and e tokki, Its my miracle product. I now get nail technicians ommenting on how strong my nails are, instead of having to get extensions.

Nail envy is great but I find it I use it too much my nails flake - I asked about this at the BB and they suggested I use it with Avoplex oil - I have some of this but must confess to prefering Jessica phenomen oil.

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!!

Welcome - I have this problem too - taking DD to Lush this afternoon and know that I will be sorely tempted by the Karma perfume - especially if it does smell like Clinique Simply which is now discontinued.

JARUS wrote: »

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

I think they are both the same and it comes down to personal preference whether you want your nails shiny or not. I think they brought out the matte for people who can't wear nv to work (and men who want stronger nails).

InaPickle

Another UU: Original Source Shea Butter and Honey.

WIBA? No. There's nothing wrong with it but it's not my bag. It's ALL about the Mint and Tea Tree and Lemon and Tea Tree!

Phew, have now caught up with all the posts and am now fully up to date. I dream of the day when my total stash list will fit on one post!!! I am having to be sooooo strong not to buy the LE - have put £5 in my SPC (Scrappie - hope you have too) and keep telling myself I don't need it...

I have my first Feb UUs to report:
Gatineau defilift 3d lip treatment - WBA and already have - see below:o

Elizabeth Arden deep cleansing mask - this was ages old and I have now finally used it - WNBA -don't really need this for my skin type.

Decleor vitaroma lift total moisturiser - this was v nice but I think has now been replaced with experience de l'age - would like to try the e de l'a but not at the moment until more stash has been UU.

Now, for the INs:

Emma Hardie
(I did own up to having ordered this last month so have served my time on the naughty step):
Moringa cleansing balm
Rosehip exfoliating seeds
Eye serum
Professional moisturising cream

And, oh dear, I had forgotten that I had ordered the last Gatineau tsv on waitlist so was surprised when a parcel tuned up for me containing:

Gatineau
Age benefit ultra regenerating night elixir
Defilift 3D volumising lip care
Age benefit dry skin cream
Melatogenine futur plus anti wrinkle radiance mask
Anti aging gommage for face

Off to write 50 lines:
I do not need the LE
