  • A teeny UU for me, 10ml tube of L’Occitane Cherry Blossom Hand Cream. WBA, but not anytime soon. My handcream collection is second only to my shower gels *sigh*

    I've also got a S&G box which Santa brought me, that I had forgotten all about until so many of you spoke about not liking the fragrance.

    My L'Occitante Fabulous Serum is spluttering. I love this product, but am thinking about getting the Brightening Shield next time. Any feedback on it?
  • UU Avon super shock gel eyeliner in steel WBA love this and have another in stash.

    UU:
    Balance me Rose Otto shower gel (mini) - WBA but lots in the stash already. smelt nice and did the job well.
    Moroccan oil mini bottle - WBA but i could probably get something cheaper that will do the same job.
    Harajiku lovers music fragrance - WNBA, i like the scent but the bottle is appalling. there is def some left in but it just won't come out and i cant get into the bottle to get it :mad:
    Essesential Care avocado cream - WBA its a really light lotion that sinks in quickly.

    Hello ladies. No more UU's for me at the moment. Just came on for a whinge really. I've been an idiot and got myself removed from my local facebook selling group. Grr. They haven't even messaged me, I'm just not on there any more :(. Someone put an advert for a money lending site and I replied and said that people should go to here (with link) or the CCCS (with link) for FREE advice. Loads of other people commented on the thread too. Now I'm off the group. I'm gutted, I had sold quite a bit of stuff on there and was just about to list some more stuff.
    I've sent them a message seeing if they'll add me back on but I don't know if they will. Argh, I was only trying to help someone out.

    It's so difficult to keep up with all of the rules they have as they're stashed all over the place and I've seen them tell other people when they are breaking the rules but have never had a post on any of my listings so I can't understand why they didn't just put up a message about it.
    I hope I'm not destined for a house full of rubbish now.
    The most annoying thing is, it's my own fault for trying to be helpful :(

    Hot off the press!! Ladies, I just had a text message from sister2, and I have to share as I know you'll understand!!

    "For my birthday I would like a Clarisonic"

    My (vocal) reaction to seeing this message on screen: "Bloody hell"

    Right, I'm a loving sister, and I'll get the bro & maybe parents to chip in *sigh*

    Where's the best place to buy one?

    Blimey sawan, you are a loving sister aren't you! Good luck with that, they're expensive aren't they?

    Kaz - that is soooo rotten that you were penalised for being helpful. Hopefully the mod will see sense and reinstall you asap.

    Sawan - does your sis know how much they cost??! The only way I've heard of anyone getting a discount is to buy via ASOS when they have a voucher code. Hopefully someone else will be along soon with a helpful plan to get you a discount :)

    I've just had an email saying that Carmine is merging with Glossybox! I'm gutted as I've loved all my Carmine boxes and think that Glossybox are deeply unreliable so don't really want to sign up with them again...but...maybe with Carmine on board they will improve?? :(

    Hello Ladies!!

    I was doing so well - then I turned on the TV and QVC beauty, you can guess what happened next......

    Well, today my lovely package of Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm arrived!!!!! Can't wait to give it a try. I have just finished my Alpha-H cleanser, this one was cheaper, everyone on TV raving about it as per usual - I was sucked in, I'm weak!!!!!!

    Oh well, it's here now - I'm going to give it a good trial. If it's no good, I will return it and order the Alpha-H again.

    Just been to the post office - my supprise easter gift is in the mail - hope you like it!!!!

    Went out to a garden centre eariler with mum, stopped for lunch and bought some nice new plants for the back garden. Can't decide if I can be bothered to plant today or no - may just leave that exciting job for tomoro!!!!

    Hope everyone is feeling upbeat today with the sunshine:j

    I know lots of you are already signed up for the Amarya beauty box but for anyone that isn't they are going to start charging P&P from tomorrow. I think that you need to set up the DD today to avoid the increase. It doesn't effect current subscribers, including those that sign up today :)

    I don't want to panic anyone into subscribing. I've only subbed to replace Carmine. I know that beauty boxes aren't for everyone :)

    Scrappie - it sounds like you have had a lovely day :):)
