    woah I bow down to you! 41 in 4 days! I feel like a real paragon of virtue now. The most I have bought is 13 when we were in the US a few years ago so were bought over a short period of time. I think I bought 10 in one go from Ebay as well but that's as daring as I've been.

    I don't count nail lacquers as part of my stash as they always get opened and used.

    Come on you now need to post a list of them. x

    4 x 7 were Color Club Sets from TKMaxx (Neon, Glitter Pastels and a set of stripers)

    6 bar glitters from eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/330706959515?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

    2 x W7 metallic collection

    Five Sally Hanson Polishes from Poundland.

    Hi All,

    Have had a lovely weekend away in Manchester for a friend's birthday and managed to avoid the shops!!! :D Although I do have a shopping trip planned on Friday as I've a day off work so may be ins then, there's slightly less danger zones in Chester than Manchester I think! So just a couple of UU and one IN to report from the weekend:

    UU Boots Vitamin E face wipes - WBA - already more in the stash, like these, effective, not scratchy, smell lovely and good value

    Superdrug Naturals Coconut & Sweet Almond Shampoo - WBA - Smells absolutely gorgeous, this was a small bottle I'd bought to take away for the weekend which I finished off this morning - usually prefer something volumising but I really love the smell of this and is good value so would buy again in the same circumstances

    IN - Aussie Aussome Volume Shampoo 500ml - replacing the smaller bottle I used up a few days back - pretty much a HG for me so though I may as well buy it in the new bigger size as I get through the shampoo a lot quicker than the conditioner which is in a smaller bottle anyway as I tend to rotate between the Aussome conditioner, 3 minutes miracle and the intensive conditioners you get with hair colour.

    May now take advantage of Ebay free listing to list some Dior lipglosses I won't use, have also masses of S&G but not sure its worth bothering as think the majority of the planet is sick of their stuff!! Have a friend who'd be happy with some bits so will probably GA to her. Also need to update my swaps list for the FB group

    Apologies girlies, not long got back from Liverpool,and there are over 10 pages since i last looked in, so im not going to read them, im shattered - can I just have a bulk HELLO to newbies, and mass hugs to anyone who needs them??

    right - a few UUs from my time away, a sample of foundation - can tremembner which one,which is a !!!!!!, cos i really liked it!! was a white square with a pic of an open pot on - one of the big names and it was a mineraly type of cream one... WIBA - if I can rememebr what it was, quite possibly !!

    Face scrub sachet - again, cant remember which one and its been hanging about for ages. used it to try to get rid of my makeup and save my skin from spots (which worked - yay!) but think any old scrub would probably work.

    Ins - my AMAZING easter egg - whoever it was who lives in scotland and begins with C - THANKYOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ive been thoroughly spoilt, cant wait to chomp the bunny, hang the eggs (sod that its not easter any more!) and use the toiletries a nd make up!!! :T:T:T:T:T:T:T

    Thanks for the heads up ZoeL. :T

    Another make up UU this month. I seem to be getting through quite a few recently, more UU's than in the lasy year I think. My Clinique matt ivory super powder which I WBA as it does take the shine away and helps my foundation stay put. Also it helps conceal my spoty chin well.

    Well. I remember saying that I didn't really have that much other than unused shampoos and bit n pieces. Hmm I totally retract that statement after having a proper clearout :eek:
    From Make-up to lotions to bath stuffs to nail varnises and more I have a shocking 121 items! Seriously? How is that possible? To think I used to have a lot more a couple of years ago! _pale_
