I saw that on their facebook that they are due next week
:TComplete with a bag containing the items, within a box haha

they originally said the week of the 14th and have now reverted back to the stock "we aim to dispatch between the 10th-20th each month" which is code for "it will go out on the 20th. possibly later. deal with it." they have amazing boxes but they are late every month for no real reason. i haven't had one sent out between the 10th-20th yet.

i'm looking forward to the bags though, i know its sad, but it'll mean i can organise my stash more :rotfl:

Hi all,
2 UU:
a chunk of Lush Snowcake soap WIBA? Absolutely, next Christmas, smells delicious.
Dove go fresh! Pomegranate and verbena body wash WIBA? Yes, probably, love Dove.

Looking to finish off a conditioner tomorrow, and some ebaying.

Another UU :j :j

Soap and Glory Butter Up Deluxe Smoothing Cream WIBA? I really liked this one, shouldn't have left it in my stash so long (at least 18 months :eek: ) because I think it's been discontinued now! Hey ho plenty more where that came from, i.e. the stash cupboard

In my defence my little sister is a starving student at uni so I've out together a bag of toiletries that she couldn't afford to buy herself:

1 x S&G Clean on Me Shower Gel (5 more in Stash :eek:)
1 x S&G The Rightous Butter (1 more in stash)
1 x S&G Pulp Friction Shower Scrub
1 x S&G Flirtigo Bodyspray
1 x S&G Flakeaway Scrub (1 more in stash)
1 x Boots Cucumber Face Wipes (5 more in stash)
1 x John Freida Hair Serum (2 more in stash)
1 x Shower Puff
1 x Sanctury Face Wash (4 more in stash)
1 x Sanctury Toner (4 more n stash)

I'm at bit distressed about how many Clean on Me bottles I have, they take months to use up and I have loads more shower gels to use as well!

Sadly even giving away so much hasn't even out a dent in the stash!

Ins
1 x Amarya Beauty Box, same contents as other posters

Does anyone know when the Boudoir Prive Boxes are due???

Dollypop you are such a nice sister! I would really struggle to share my stash even though I have loads!!

I have officially run out of shampoo and shower gel. I mean totally and completely - not even dregs or sachet samples left :eek: Never thought I'd see the day...

I can't believe your will power, I would have panic bought a 3for2 offer months ago! Not that I am going to run out of shower gel for the next decade anyway ....I'm thinking single digits will mean I have got rid of the stash :rotfl:

A UU

Scwarzkopf LIVE Colour Foam in Violet Berry Burst - WIBA? - Yes. I love the colour and I love the new foam as it's alot easier to apply and doesn't smell horrible. It smells like strawberries. Although, my bath looks like someone's been murdered in it after I've washed the dye out. :eek:

It's MIL's birthday tomorrow and I have no idea what to wear. I want to try something new with my makeup too, but I'm not sure what. I usually just stick to the same old thing (black or purple eyeliner, mascara on top and bottom lashes and a reddy lipgloss) but I don't want to get stuck in the same old makeup routine.
I might have a look online to see if I can find any tutorials or pictures of makeup I like.

I am soooo tempted by the beauty boxes but am trying to resist!

UU Sanex 0% shower gel sachet, did the job! Only used this as I am using S&G clean on me and am halfway through and just really needed a change as its such a LHJ. I must pump about 10 shots on the puff and its still going! If this was used frugally I reckon you could get a year out of this!

I thought I was being extravagant using 5 pumps of my S&G!! I can't face using this as my only shower gel because I know I'll get sick of it. But it will literally last forever only using it a couple of times a week. I couldn't believe it when my mum got me another one for Christmas, of all the shower gels in the world, it had to be that one!!!

VALM

Another UU for me : Laura Geller Balance N Brighten. Have shopped in my stash for another. I now only have this foundation left - yay. Am gonna try to a) avoid the TSV and b) not repurchase until this new one has all gone.

Another £1.00 in the pot and the Clinique treat tomorrow is a freebie. x

Re the cancelled classes, Sawan and Rosemary, how frustrating for you. Also very frustrating for the tutors. Up until last July I worked as an hourly paid tutor, I combined it with the work at home job I have for 18 months but the work dried up. The tutors will have spent many, many unpaid hours putting together course outlines and lesson plans and all the endless bits of expletive paperwork. Then at the end of the day, the courses are cancelled and they often have just a couple of hours pay - as little as £30 - to show for it. This happened to me a few times.
I love my e-tutoring job, lots of admin, true, but not a single sheet of paper!

Hello all newbies - VALM what sound advice about the scents, must scent out some matchies in my collection, can't call it a stash, too small.

A UU - The John Frieda Precision Foam Colour in Medium Ash Brown that my daughter gave me.

WIBA? No. Fortunately my experience with the Clairol Foam brown that turned me black stood me in good stead. I applied the foam at 7.45-7.50 and instantly saw that the foam was more black than brown again. :eek: 7.58 Out of shower, foam washed off. Hair is dark brown with a slight reddish cast, the few greys appear covered. Phew! With less than 10 minutes on my head, it took. It's darker than the pic on the packet, but I don't look like a misplaced elderly Goth, thankfully.
If I'd left it on for the suggested time I would have been browny-black again.
Why did it take so well and why black? I suspect the colour mix was faulty, I would have expected the foam to have been dark brown but it was black almost instantly. Also I do have fine hair, but I've never seen a warning that fine hair takes colour far more easily. Well, with the foams it does.
I hadn't washed it for 2 days, and it's naturally slightly greasy so it wasn't dry hair soaking up a dye...
The conditioner supplied is gorgeous, btw, my hair does look glossy.

Mingle

Another out!

The sanctuary shower gel- I really love their stuff, so I totally would buy again- but only when the stash is depleted of course!

Hope everyone is well, I need to catch up!
