I think a lot of us do! :rotfl: Maybe we should have a nails/nail art thread to encourage to using up on polishes, share ideas for different things to do with our nails and polishes and to talk about good/bad brands and colours :j

Brillant idea! I would SOOOOOOO join you guys

Another UU to report Soap & Glory Flake Away Body Polish - WIBA probably not.

I have been religiously using body scrubs and body lotions since the beginning of this year and I haven't really noticed a change to my skin. I have pimply skin on my arms and legs and have yet to find anything (except the sun) that improves it. Any ideas????

First UU of the month :j :j :j

Philosophy 'Snow Angel' WIBA? Not this fragrance as I didn't love it, but I would buy other Philosophy scents just cause they're soooo pretty!

A nail thread might be good. When I followed lots of nail blogs a few years ago, I did buy more polish and products, but I think I made less buying mistakes because of reading people's opinions of brushes, coverage, wear and tear etc, also on these blogs which had lots of photos it was great to see what polishes looked like on the nail - living in the sticks means I had to buy on spec quite a lot. QVC makes it easier, the only time I buy "wrong" colours now is if they are part of a set which offers good value for other items I want.
Keep warm and safe everyone, cold and grey today.

Yes I agree availablilty makes a lot of difference to how much we buy. I live in a small town with a small Boots (no high end products), one OS chemist selling Clarins and Lancombe and need a minimum of a 52 mile round trip to a bigger town, even allowing for a few TV shopping purchases, I buy lots less than I did when I used to go into decent sized town after work for banking post etc, 2 or 3 times a week. This applies to new clothes too, most things on sale here are lovely, but way too expensive for me.

Stay strong and start a special treats fund? I thought I might put the money from using my stash to a fund for a really nice beauty treatment.

Hello ladies,

I have another UU to declare: Woods of Windsor Lily of the Valley body lotion 100ml. This was one of Mum's that I pinched as she doesn't do body lotion, but a really overpowering scent, wouldn't want to use it again.

Hubby & I have just booked a 4 week trip to New Zealand. It'll be the first time I'll have left europe in over 15 years. And you know what? I'm already going through my stash trying to work out what minis I can take with me. How sad is that?!

Have a good week
