    Hi all!
    1 UU: BS rainforest radiance colour protect shampoo 250ml WIBA? Yes, I already have the large 400ml in my stash. I like this, ticks all the boxes for me.
    I have the dregs of another body moisturiser to UU tomorrow, so then i'll have beaten my target to UU two of the five open ones! yay.

    So sad, yet so satisfying! :D

    Started a new body butter today but it will most likely end up as a GA. Its full of perfume, i smell like I've bathed in all the perfumes in boots. Going to see how my skin reacts to it, but even if it doesn't cause a reaction the smell may just be way too strong for me.

    Did you wash them on really hot? I can't remember who told me that this is the thing to do as it tightens up the weave of the base fabric so stops the little bits from falling out of the holes. Seemed to work for me when I last bought lovely dark blue towels.

    Oh & hello everyone. I'm just lurking at present. I've got a fairly embarrasing stash but haven't got time to sort it yet. I plan to join you all in a while when I do.

    Like 60 degrees hot? I tend to wash most things on 40 to save the environment so will try 60. :D

    Happy belated birthday Zoe.:)

    A UU I forgot to declare a while ago!

    Impulse Tease body spray - WIBA? - Oh, yes! I adore this. It's my HG body spray. Lasts for ages and smells lovely.

    One IN to report:

    VALM - I know just where you're coming from. New CID tonight - you ever tried that??


    The trio of eyeliners are fab - i have the coloured ones from a previous try me. Nice colours but still suitiable for everyday wear.

    Mascara is also pretty good.

    I'm tempte but torn. I want the black set as i on't have those elyliners but i want the other bits from the colour set but don't nee more of the green/purple/blue liners
    I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep someone else warm, someone cooler

    The Clinique one is my HG too, but I have been converted to the Garnier Simply Essentials 2 in 1 Eye Makeup Remover. You should try it when your stash is reduced. IMHO it's as good as the Clinique one, though now I've said that you might hate it!!

    Thanks for the recommendation Sawan - :o I think this has already been praised as I seem to already have it in my stash. I am going to dig it out and use it tonight.

    UU - Another Nicky Clarke Highlight treatment thingy. Still have loads left but my hair colour is starting to look a bit dull again and I have a few weeks left before my hair appt.

    Tossed: EL Nail Polish in Pink Fever. Darned stuff chips off way to easily, especially along the tips. It was a gwp a few years back, I'd never pay nearly $20 for a polish.

    Nail Polish remover is still spluttering along!

    No, have you? I really love Laura Geller cosmetics so tend to buy those from QVC. I also like Smashbox eyeliners and lipglosses that I was introduced to via the Q. I know people rave about Mally as well and I keep thinking I'll try something but haven't yet.
    Please dont tempt me with another brand bad habit lol. Have you tried the fabulous serum? I think its amazing. About the only product that I think I could see a difference in my skin after a couple of uses.

    I would really like to try the shea butter body cream. Thats next on my list once everything is used up :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:like that'll ever happen!!

    No, haven't tried the fabulous serum. I think the only L'Occitane skincare I have tried is the Immortelle face cream. I only had a sample sachet but could feel the difference as soon as I tried it so am sure I would agree with you Will put this on my list to try when my current stash of serums and oils have gone. At the moment I'm using TBS Naturalift which is nice.
    Two more UUs Espa hydrating cleansing milk....lovely stuff but was part of an expensive set so probably won't buy again and Gok body butter. First time I've tried Gok with my big red vanity case and its lovely stuff:)

    Emma bought a Gok gift set in the sale after using a friend's hand balm at school and she really likes it. I've not read a bad review of the products yet. Wonder why they're only available at Christmas? I'm not so sure that his clothing line has taken off as well.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
