    uu S&G Clean on me, as many of you ladies will know this lasts for an eternity, it is lovely to use, but I have definitely got S&G fatigue, which is unfortunate as my stash is loaded with S&G :o

    I have S&G fatigue too and the Big Splendour kit is the first and only S&G I've ever owned! It's far too sweet for me, I prefer fruity things. At least having lots of TBS stuff means a variety of fragrances but S&G almost all smells the same. :( I love how the Righteous Butter makes my skin feel but it's just too sickly.

    went to twon to do my mystery shop and managed to pick up a few freebies:)BUT was also bad as clinique bonus time was on in Boots:eek:so had a skin consultation(yes SA I am a very bad girl lying out in the sun:rotfl:)and bought moisture surge intense as a change from the usual one plus a concealer pen so got as freebie a bag with moisturiser facial soap,repairwear laser focus(who make sup these names?)a lip gloss,mascara and eyeshadow compact(yes I know I don't need any of them!I also got a sample of moisture surge foundation after showing the SA the page from Comos saying to ask for it(this also worked in JL)BUT Boots SA said I was still 04 shade and JL sa said I was now 05 so who is right??????Also got samples 5mls of Lancome visionnaire and genifique which the sa said is to wear under day and night creams.

    plus I got a £5 no 7 coupon so bought a nail colour mojo ( coral) for £2 AND the natural manicure set from JL which someone on the site told me about with a buffer and cream(£7)

    Hi All,

    Hope everyone had a good weekend. Monday done, work wasn't as bad as I thought it might be, as is quite often the way, shame I spent half of yesterday worrying about it! :o

    Hugs to VALM and uk_american but really admirable attitude seeing the positives already, I'm afraid I'm a knee deep in Kleenex and cheesy love songs kind of break up girl, not to mention industrial quantities of chocolate! Not to make light of it though, I hope you're ok, it sounds like you're doing well but its still hard isn't it.

    One UU this morning and several splutterers on their way out shortly - Lush Alkmaar Soap - didn't really expect to like this, must have been part of a gift set and looks really boring and well very soap like which Lush soap doesn't usually, its normally neon bright and full of glitter! :D This is a greyish creamy colour and very normal looking but actually smells really nice and lathers up well. Seems to last a little longer than some of the softer Lush soaps so that's good too - WBA

    Interesting to see a few people seem to be a bit sick of S&G lately, I'm like this too at the moment as it makes up a large chunk of my stash - nice products in the main but many have that similar trademark type of scent and can get a little overkill, especially when something like Clean On Me takes forrrreeevvveeerrrrrr to use up! :rotfl: Still, its very MSE! My one HG product of theirs is actually skincare, Bright Here, Bright Now which is a kind of radiance balm/primer which I really like the texture of and does seem to actually brighten your skin.

    Tried to list some Dior makeup, mainly lipgloss, that I haven't and probably won't used on Ebay and it wouldn't let me as I've already sold some recently, apparently I have to wait 10 days. I can understand why as they don't want the site flooding with fakes (which I suspect it probably is anyway to some degree) but when you've had an account for years with nothing but positive feedback its a bit annoying. May put up for swaps instead or may just hang on a while.

    Enjoy your evening everyone

    A freebie arrievd this morning, that I DO remember requesting. Vaseline Essential Moisture Clean Feeling Lotion 50mls.

    I also have a UU - Nicky Clarke Highlight Activating serum. Still ave another 31 in my stash!! I have started to use these again as I am only getting my hair coloured ever other cut and it peps up the colour for the inbetween times. All very :money:!

    I am not at S & G hoarder but the few items I do have do get a bit samey. I am halfway through the hand cream with another one in my stash and I do feel a bored.

    1 UU, Superdrug Vitamin E Intense moisture cream. This was a great budget buy, I am moving on to a body shop vitamin E cream from my stash but may go back to the Superdrug one as it seems to do the same job as more expensive creams. (Used to use it in the morning first thing and then put another cream with SPF in over the top - but my skin is very dry).
