    I forgot to mention the IN that I have

    Dr Orgamics royal jelly lip serum - I had a £1.50 voucher at H&B, so it was super cheap.

    one UU: Veil foundation sample: peach
    I'm not very familiar with this brand, I don't think I'm quite convinced yet to buy the product after this sample that I tried, but it did do an excellent job at concealing my acne scars.

    I have a lot of splutterers, so I hope to have some more UU's this week.

    Stay warm everyone!

    I've got a UU and i cant remember if i posted it yesterday or not:
    Liz Earle Eyebright - HG. i love this stuff. its a really refreshing eyewash. i use it when I've done my eyebrows.



    have you tried the Liz Earle shampoo? thats SLS free and the fragrance is natural.

    I love Eyebright, but I have developed an allergy to it. I had horrific allergy breakouts around my eyes a couple of years ago, had allergy tests, a few substances including unspecified perfumes, so have not found which ingredient is guilty, but this is one of my no-no items now:(

    I am going to try the LE shampoo, but have some stuff to use before I can order.

    Hi ladies...

    How many would be interested in another secret swap? The Easter egg swap will be modeled after the secret santa that trudij & others organised :) The minimum would be £5 again (there is no maximum), and of course it is recommended to stash shop first (as long as it is in re-giftable condition) as that's why we all joined the challenge.

    If you are interested, please email me your
    1. name (forum name also),
    2. address, and
    3. any allergies/strong dislikes, and if you'd like, list a few things that you are into (i.e. nail polish, lotions, etc. etc.).
    4. Please include the name of the person that you had in the secret santa, and I will make sure you don't get the same person twice.

    Sign-ups start today and will end on March 8th. At which time I will email everyone their person to send too. Please have all packages posted so that your buddy will get their gift before Easter.

    ***Please hold onto your proof of posting or recorded delivery receipt*****

    If anyone has any questions, comments or suggestions, please don't hesitate to email me.

    Hope everyone will join!

  • Willowbee- lovely stashy to have - another QVC shoppert by any chance??

    Bunnykins - like EvilSquid I would recommend the Liz Earle shampoo as it is SLS free.

    Clinique Clarifying Lotion, 15ml - WBA, maybe a bit expensive though :)

    I'm still about lovelies :p

    I have a lovely long list of UU's but not the energy to post them :D

    I'll take part in the Easter Egg Swap - sounds fun - but maybe consider leaving the closing date for a couple of weeks later as Easter isn't until 8th April?? Just a thought :D

    Hope all are well :cool:

    I have no UUs, but I have cut the end off an Olya serum and a Dead Sea hand cream :p
    Hope everyone has had a lovely weekend.
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time
  • Oliviab - How exciting! I'd love a Clarisonic Mia. Maybe I should save for one with my £1s for using things up? (Would take forever but I'd certainly appreciate it!)

    Hi destroyerofdebt:wave: Great name! I hope it's working :)

    Hello again Kipling Monkey! Somehow I've managed to amass all of this without QVC :eek: You've all made me curious though - what's a TVS? (Actually, it's probably better that I never know ;)). I'm not brave enough to count my stash like you have :rotfl:I've just finished part two of my list. I have so much stuff. Waaaah! :eek:
  • Hearing about the guy who travelled all that way for a job to find it wasn't there, then being taken in by kind people, makes me simultaneously sad and impressed by how kind people can be. Well done Trudij.
