    Ooh, love the idea of a nails thread!!

    I also discovered I can buy China Glaze not only online, but in the nearest main town :eek:

    I bought Skyscraper, Sexy in the City and Turned up Turquoise (wearing that today, love it!!) :)

    UU TBS Rose Shower Gel - WNBA, it stung and felt a bit harsh.
    Perfume Sample - I've nearly used all my perfume samples up now :D

    haha Adele, thats exactly what I do when I wear it, sniff my underarms in a sort of horrified awe at how much I stink!
  • I got a few unexpected IN's to declare grrrrrr (did not purchase). i got 40 samples of foundations in the mail today. Obviously they aren't all my colour, and I will be GA the rest, but I am keeping 8 of the samples.

    UU/TA sachet Cutex handcream, made my fingers sting, so into the bin.

    About to repurpose 150ml Olay daily cleansers moisture balancing facewash - use only richer cream cleansers now and very short of handwash, so into a dispenser it will go and be used up that way. I will not let on to OH what it is, otherwise he would not use it!

    Can I ask, how do you all know what QVC TSVs are in advance?
  • Just wanted to post to say I resisted temptation!!

    I was in boots today and there were the starter packs of the No7 Beautiful skin cleanser/moisturiser and I was tempted and then walked out of the shop without buying a thing! (Only went in there becasue I fancied a magazine, so went to pick up the free boots one instead of buying one) yay me *does a lil dance*

    Melvita Cream Nectar Night Care, 15ml - WBA, lovely cream, although took a while to sink in!
    Dr Perricone Bright Eyed flawless Eye Cream, 1x0.5ml Sachet
    Lavera Lifting Serum, 1x0.5ml Sachet - im not sure if it has made any difference but its hard to notice something with so little an amount. Why do they insist on putting liquids into sachets?
