    I think "in stock" is a bit misleading, there is a wait list (I went on it last week) and I've yet to hear from them, their email said that they would only contact us in the event of a return or cancelled order, not that they were getting more stock.

    UU Percy & Reed shampoo and conditioner WNBA I found the shampoo shocking, i struggled to get a decent lather with a first wash, second attempt was better but it made my hair feel so dry! The conditioner felt nice when it was on and rinsed out lovely and my hair was soft, but my hair the following morning looked so lank and greasy like it hadnt been washed for days!! Overpriced and not much cop!

    IN Look Beauty Nail Pop Pearl nail varnish - I must confess I have been reading the nail varnish thread and it has motivated me to UU my nail polishes however they do mention lots of lovely products and I liked the look of the flakies and this Pearl is lovely they have a sparkle one which I may have to go back and get. I have tried the Pearl over royal blue and its lush!

    Forgot to add 2 x Just Desserts body custards from Poundshop in Lemon Meringue and Vanilla. They were to good to pass up!

    Rosemary I am on the wait list so hope I hear something to!

    Hi everybody

    Welcome to all Newbies :hello:
    Great to see you again Jacks xxx, I too remember your passion for Bobbi Brown!

    I'm back in again for April and will be trying to make this a no-buy month. I'm also going to try really hard not to buy any nail varnish, I have over 100 so definitely don't need any. They are without doubt my weakness, even my OH has said I should try and go a month without buying any, he even threatened to get my collection out and tally up the total cost to see if that would shame me into not buying anymore of them:eek: (Think I'd pass out if he did this :o)
    hope everyone is well

    happy pampering, xo

    Thanks honeybun. :wave: I've really missed you all.

    I'm with you on the nail polish. I don't paint my fingernails that often - but I do my toes every three weeks or so. With that frequency there's no way on earth that I need as many polishes as I've got - although my daughter and her friends do make very good use of them as well for their nail art.

    I'm just a sucker for a pretty colour! :o:D

    I just got this email back from them after re-enquiring:

    Thanks for your email.

    We are working down the list in a first-come-first-served basis, so
    your friends must have been very lucky and within the first 10
    enquiries!

    We do not have many boxes left over I'm afraid which is why we're
    having to contact people in such short quantities.

    Best wishes

    this is the one thing I don't like about LIB,the fact the boxes go on general sale in You mag(which I don't read) seems a bit daft to be signed on with them!I missed the sale as we went out for the day and all sold by 2pm.think me,mbers should def come first,loyalty does n ot seem to count,I did not buy the red box as too much make up already.

    2 INs (1 necessary and 1 sample so I'm not too bothered)
    Wilko Skin Therapy Dry Skin wipesx25
    The Body Shop Sweet Lemon body butter sample 3ml (A tiny sample but I liked the pot thats why I got it lol!)

    Bought a new washbag & travel bottle set from primark today, washbag was £3 but scanned as £1, gorgeous white blossom design on a teal background! £1 for a set of x3 100ml bottles and x3 5ml jars I think.
