    Hello lovelies.:wave: No INs or UUs to report but thought I would check in anyway. Managed to fight my way to the cinema and back today. Saw "This Means War". It was very good. I love Tom Hardy. :D DH wanted to take me out so that I could get out of the house. I seem to spend so much time bedbound/housebound with the M.E that it's nice to go out.

  • UU boots botanics body balm WNBA UU as a foot cream as to sticky and didn't like the smell.

    Have done PYNT with LD Little Minx. Did my toes on Sunday with dark purple and silver crackle over the top.
  • Another UU L'Occitane cherry blossom moisturiser, WBA even through the containers are rubbish, split when I was trying to squeeze it out. Off to Madrid tomorrow night:j Possibly be an IN at the airport as I've 3 hours to kill and BF is flying seprately:eek:


    I had exactly the same problem with a L'Occitane Peach body lotion. Pretty much the first time I used it the bottle cracked all up the side and needed an emergency decant! You would think they could use decent plastic for the bottles when they charge so much for the lotion!

    Sorry totally untoiletries related, but I had some bad news this morning. I'm sure some of you will remember me mentioning my Aunt was ill at the end of last month, well unfortunately she passed away last night. She was very ill and we knew she didn't have long left, she was in her 80's though.

    SuiDreams, my condolences to you and your family, and a huge hug. It's always difficult coping with the passing of somebody, but try to focus on the fact she's no longer suffering with being ill :grouphug:

    Lurker, hello :)

    I don't have a huge toiletries stash (mainly body moisturisers of different guises....)

    I've just treated myself to the Harrods March Glossybox, are you guys usually happy with your glossyboxes? I think this will be a one off treat but I'm excited - maybe its the suprise element?

    I had exactly the same problem with a L'Occitane Peach body lotion. Pretty much the first time I used it the bottle cracked all up the side and needed an emergency decant! You would think they could use decent plastic for the bottles when they charge so much for the lotion!

    Hopefully the larger bottles are better but I doubt it:( Hasn't completly put me off, just annoying as teh shower gel happened when I was away on hols but the moisturiser was at home...thanks God for plastic bags:)
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
