Sorry about your bunnies Valm, when I was a child I did not shut mine away properly and one of our cats got in and killed two of them. My SIL has recently lost lots of her chooks to a fox, animal keeping can be tough sometimes unfortunately.

I think my skin is suffering from using up all the different bits and bobs, sore pink patches and generally not looking as good as usual. I think I will revert to Elemis or LE on my face for a while (from stash) and then come back to the other stuff here and there. The body washes and lotions do not seem to be causing any problems thank goodness.

Sorry to hear about the bunnies valm and your breakup uk_American.

i have a TA, i was actually upset chucking this.
Dior Diorskin Nude foundation - this is my HG foundation for more coverage that still just looks like my normal skin. its in between bare minerals and mac and is amazing stuff. went to use t today and saw that it'd gone all streaky down the side of the glass bottle and i could see a layer of water through the gaps the streaks left. i shook it up to try and rescue it but it came out with bits of grainy pigment in it so its finally turned will def replace, prob when I'm in america in summer so its cheaper.

Oh Val, really sorry about the bunnies, something like that can happen so easily. Feral cats will take almost anything, even chickens.
My friend's cat once brought in next door's hamster that had escaped; he felt awful telling them about that. Chances are it would have died quickly anyway, but it was still sad.
No ins for Mothers' Day. Chocolate though, wine and flowers... Yesterday I went to see a concert with a friend; The Four Tops (1 original) The Temptations (ditto) The Crystals (ditto) and Tavares (all the originals) Really good show, though not a sell-out, huge arena was half empty and at £40 a ticket you could perhaps see why. I know such prices are the norm, but it put it out of the reach of many, I am sure.

One tiny UU, a sachet of the Aqua Light deep conditioning treatment. I gave the full bottle that I got with the Savvy Circle to a friend, couldn't see much difference between the intensive conditioner and the ordinary one. I don't anticipate many UU's for a while.

None of the Pantene shampoos/conditioners I have work as well as Elvive, debating whether to give all my shampoo except the solid one away and get Elvive next time it's on offer.
As freebies and coupons meant the 4 bottles I have cost me precisely 19p, it would be a small loss to bear...

UU

Dr Hauschka - Creme a la Rose Day Cream 30ml-WBA, gutted it is finished. Such a lovely smell and so moisturising!

Morning ladies,

I feel really miserable. Two of our bunnies were killed in our garden on Friday night. We feel so irresponsible because we forgot they were outside. I think it was a cat that got them.

How sad VALM. I'd love to have some bunnies, but sadly our landlord won't allow it as it will mess up his nice lawn

I have one UU here: BS Dewberry bath & shower gel 250ml. A nice product, lasted a long time. Back onto Sanctuary now as I have waaaaaaaaaaaay too many bottles!!

Hi all.

Sorry to hear about your bunnies VALM and your breakup UK-American, it's good that you have such a positive outlook though.

3 more UU for me: :j
Lush Snow Fairy 100g WIBA? Yes! next Christmas time, I love this, but have several more in my stash This bottle finished a little too quickly though
Dove Go Fresh Energising Grapefruit and Lemongrass deodorant WIBA? Wasn't bad, might do if on offer again.
No7 Lift and illuminate day cream 10ml WIBA? hmmm, wasn't too bad, but there are others I prefer and like to try first.

No INs! Yay, but need to press on and get these body moisturisers used up!

Hello ladies! May I please rejoin, after my rather prolonged absence?!

I promise, I have been quite good since I last popped in here, just haven't been able to get online too much.

I haven't been buying much, (other than stockpiling my HG conditioner which has been discontinued/reformulated, boo ) although mostly still due to lack of shopping opportunities and silly prices locally Ah, it's so much easier when temptation is removed…

BUT I also haven't been using my stash as much as I should - I've gotten lazy, and my skin is suffering, eek :eek:

I've been reading some of the threads when I get a chance, and it's good to see there is as much good advice, tips and tricks, and general chat as always. I'll go back and read up on this one shortly, hope everyone is well!

Sorry about your breakup uk_american Though :jto being able to travel more!

VALM I'm sorry about your bunnies

Welcome back fixx! Great to 'see' you

Trudij It sounds like you had an awesome time last week

LadyM I hope you're feeling better today

Hugs to everybody!!

I have very few UUs and lots of INs

UU
TBS Coconut Shower Cream: WIBA? Not for a very very long time (I'm another who has enough shower gel to last forever!!). It was very creamy, which I just wasn't used to after using gels for so long. Got this free on a big glitch last year.
EL Daywear Plus: This had gone off and I'd had a replacement sent to me by EL. No idea why this was at the back of a cupboard.. :-/

There's another that I forgot to write down and can't remember

ETA: Got it! A Lush bubble bar, but can't remember which one!

INs
John Frieda Brunette Shampoo & Conditioner: I've been out of shampoo for ages & have been using sisters'.
Happy Hair Glossing Shampoo & Conditioner: Not counting this as unnecessary as this is my 'one in stock'. Actually wanted to buy this to put straight into use, but only found it on offer after buying the JF.
Sainsburys Basics Cotton Wool Pads x 2: Thought I'd give these a whirl as going through a lot more cotton wool using glitter polishes. Quite impressed so far, might not go back to MrBs/SD double faced ones!
Lush Space Girl Bath Ballistic: Mother's Day present from my nieces & nephew
Lush Macaroon-style Bubble Bar: As above
17 Starry Eyes Eyeshadow Trio: As above

Also received my first Carmine box, but I need to get some work done so will list those later

UU Garnier minerals roll on. Will be replacing it when I do the Asda shop
