S&G Hand Food is gone! :T I got this as part of the Big Splendour set. WNBA, I don't like the S&G sweet scent and it was a rubbish hand cream.

I've cut the end off one of these, been using it on my feet as it has gone off and smells awful :mad: and its not a very goodhandcream WNBA.

Thank you kiplingmonkey, I will try that in the morning.

Willowbee the straw idea sounds really inventive, although we never seem to have straws in the house.

That is why I thought Kiplingmonkey's cotton bud idea was probably better! :rotfl: It's well worth getting the dregs of Idealist out of the bottle, whatever you use

2 more OUTS :j- well GAs actually to BF sister for birthday. 2 x S&G getting a bit tired of it. I think I secumbed to the hype at the start and could sell it back to Boots if they ever run short!

I struggled to get enough out this morning although I'm sure that there is loads left in there. I really like it, so may have to purchase when I finished my stash of serum.

My LHJ No7 P & P Eye Cream is now gone . This was a GWP and I WNBA. Really didn't like the consistancy and felt that it didn't do anything. I have another 2 in my stash. I am back onto Elizabeth Arden Skin Simple eye cream which I feel is working for me.

On the lipstick front, I have TA the last reminents of Clinique Shy which has snapped off! WBA as it is one of my fav shades but can't buy it in the UK. I have replaced it with the S & G Red My Lips which I am really liking the colour. I am finding it a little drying on my lips so far but I will give it a bit longer to see if it is just the weather.

Fiasco - I'm trying to use up a GWP P&P eye cream as well! I'm hoping that I don't have another one in the difficult-to-reach box of mystery that is under my bed :eek: For now, I'm alternating with my Clinique All About Eyes otherwise I see the difference far too quickly - the P&P seems to make matters worse, which I find really confusing!

Glad its not just me. Part of the reason for the LHJ is that I have left it for a few times as I needed something else to recover my eye area - I get dark circles too. Alternating it with something that works might be an option if I decide to keep them both. I have been rummaging in my stash tower (in between posts) to look at what else I have and was pondering just to GA.

Also I am missing a few items that I have in my stash list :question: I was very careful when I was counting up my stash and I am slightly obsessed in marking up UU's so I know I have not missed them. Very odd - I live alone, so that is another option ruled out. Might just count them as OUTs if I can't find them.

2 lipsticks (same colour)
Mini body scrub and body wash
Pack of face wipes

I will have a root around some more tonight and try and solve the mystery - I need the distraction as I had a rotten day at work and I am quite :mad::mad: about a situation. I will turn this negative energy into something positive and worthwhile. :A

In my case I'm sure that it is drying my skin out and emphasising my fine lines - the last thing I want :rotfl: Because I expected a lot from it as a P&P product I kept blaming other things Part of me wants to use it up in a concentrated burst and get rid of it but I think I'd rather take the slower option and not wreck my eyes in the process! :rotfl: I just have a lurking feeling that I'm going to find another one of these. If it's sealed then it's going on eBay!

Sorry to hear that you are feeling :mad: about a difficult time at work. I find sorting through toiletries quite calming (and tidying up in general). I hope you find your lost items I'm missing a Korres lipbalm that I really didn't like and was soooooo close to finishing. I can't bear to declare it a UU. I need to find it and finish the sucker! :rotfl:

morning ladies,it is friday conference call for DH so I am up early again but at least there is a blue sky :)hugs to all that need them,sat next to a lady at flower club whose soldier son "lost" an arm and a leg whilst on duty,he nearly died and now needs help coming to terms with his injuries,don't know how I would cope being him or even her so thoughts today for all with life changing injuries.
had an email(too big to copy) about a new way of seeing if someone is having a stroke...ask them to stick their tongue out and if it is crooked to one side then could well be,alos if they cannot speak a simple sentence,the first 3 hours are critical in recovery so call for ambulance if at all worried.

back to toiletries uu one of the many BS body butters:)so with the one I sold yesterday that is two out of my stash of around 10:):)still using the Neals yard berry cream but really do not like the smell:(

I have had two INS! Noooooo! Firstly, a small tub of Body Shop body butter which I got free using a coupon from Gracia. Secondly, an Elizabeth Arden eyeshadow quartet which was £6.99 in TK Maxx. I should really not be allowed in that shop! The colours are lovely, but I'm not that impressed with the quality so far (rubbish pigmentation). The only premium brand eyeshadows I have used so far have been Clinique and now Elizabeth Arden and in both cases I don't think they are as good as drugstore brands and Urban Decay.
