    I store all of my products in the drawer under DH's side of the bed. They are separated into toiletry bags to make it easier to see what we have. For some reason, DH got was bags every Christmas and birthday for a few years so we have loads!

    I have a UU today

    Clinique Take off the Day Eye Makeup Remover 30ml - WBA did a good job did not irritate the eyes or leave them greasy. On to the Clarins one now, no other eye Makeup Removers in the stash won't buy anymore until at least half way through this one. As the Clarins one is a full size one planning on washing out the Clinique bottle and decanting some of the Clarins one into it to take away rather than taking a full size bottle with me.

    Having a bit of a pamper as it Sunday and am using the Eve Lom mask again.

    TCB works you should get back £7.07 and if you used the free shipping code your box will only work out to be £2.93 after cashback.

    Good afternoon ladies what a nice day i have a uu Tea Tree Oil HG i can't live without this i have another in the stash so don't need to buy for a few months. i also have some ins from the SBC TSV

    Propilis gel 500ml x2

    Arnica gel 500ml x2

    Manuka Honey & Orange Blossom Shower cream 500ml x2

    Manuka Honey & Orange Blossom Body Butter 500ml x2

    i brought 2 sets as i was going to go for auto delivery but decided to just order 2 as its cheaper p&p.

    the Manuka Honey & orange Blossom smells divine i want some more but i will try and not buy any my mum loves it as well got to be strong.

    enjoy your sunday everyone.

    I really like the sound of SBC products when I watch the shows on the Q but having tried the Arnica gel, Collagen gel and Echinachea I've only rated the Echinachea out of all three. I like the thought of trying the Propolis gel although I don't know what it's for. I bought the Arnica gel when I had a problem with my shoulder years ago and to be fair it probably wasn't ever going to work because the problem was deep muscular and only got cured after a steroid injection. The Collagen is probably one of those con products because I'm sure I've read you can't do anything to your skin by adding collagen as it is found beneath the surface of the skin. Really like the sound of the Manuka Honey products. I made myself not watch when the shows were on this time.

    Is that the Emma Hardie serum, Rosemary? I see there's a TSV coming up soon on QVC featuring her products if anyone wanted to buy them again.


    yes thta's the one,don't rate it and don't like the smell much:(is it me ar are creams getting stronger smells these days?

    No, it's not just you. I think moisturisers are getting more fragranced. It's the one thing that can put me off a product. I have another UU since this am : a sachet of Origins Mega Mushroom Skin Relief. Again, this was highly fragranced and I got the tingle that I've experienced with all the Origins products I've tried. I think there are two sample tubes left and then I'll be onto the Elemis tub.

    Anyone seen the new oils on TBS site? They look great - shame I have a stash full of Elemis Frangipani Monoi Melt!

    Was very good today. My local Boots have started selling Essie polishes. Did not buy but it's good to know it's easy to get any new colours that I fancy. The only thing I bought from Boots was a set of three Models Own lacquers as a gift for Emma's friend.
    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!

    I was looking at TBS oils the other day as well, am very tempted and they may end up getting ordered when i finally need more shower gel.

    As well as a bit of pampering, I have washed my foundation brush today (did powder brush yesterday, so will have nice clean brushes to start the week.

    Also forgot to mention, that with today's UU, my ins and outs for this month are now equal, so every UU from now on will result in a reduction in the stash this month.

    I store my makeup in this, which I love:

    http://www.whsmith.co.uk/CatalogAndSearch/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=34147962

    For toiletries, I've a chest of drawers in the bathroom and store my toiletries in the top drawer, separated using these boxes from Ikea:

    http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/60192633/

    I have hair stuff in one box, skincare in another etc. That's for the unopened/not used often stuff. Items in use are on a shelf in a small cupboard on the wall.
  • I finally managed to finish the Champneys Nail & Cuticle Wonder Oil. I actually picked this up at poundland and it lasted me a very long time. I can't say that this helped my cuticle but it had a nice scent. I'm still in search for my HG hand and cuticle treatment.

    Pah was in the process of a long post when it suddenly deleted itself near the end :mad::mad::mad:. That might been a good thing for you lot :rotfl:

    The basis of it was: Gave up on Elvive conditioner & V05 shampoo for my HG of Charles Worthington :o. It was calling out to me hehe.

    Also got a quarter of my clarins face melt left, which is loads 'cos it lasts ages, but too expensive.

    Also mentioned something about drooling over a couple of mac eyeshadows that look lovely, but dont think boots have them(have lots of points to spend!).

    Also great storage ideas. Realised that I do have plenty of space with a bit of a shuffle about of stuffs. Just need to get some drawer dividers or something! :T
