    Heya, can you explain this to me please? I'm intrigued :D

    Sun swap is a gift exchange where you are given a buddy and vice versa. This round we are using a program called elfster that pairs buddies up annonymously and features loads of cool features like being able to ask your buddy secret questions, and also creating a public wishlist. It's like facebook but only amongst the people in the gift exchange.

    The minimum is £5 and stash shopping is enouraged as that is why we are all part of this thread.

    Sign up ends tonight, so if you have any other questions, don't hesitate to PM me. :D

    Hello, I've only been on this challenge for about three days and already I have INS...not my fault, I promise!!

    My husband has been working abroad and brought me back some gifts from Sephora. Its mostly blushers and I don't count make up as even though I probably have a wee bit more than the average person, it is not taking over my life and I can fit all of it in one of my dressing table drawers. However he was given some samples at the till which are:

    1. Ojon instant hair restorative serum
    2. Korres wild rose 24hr moisturiser
    3. Fresh soy face cleanser

    I am going to use them all tonight to get them out the way!

    If anyone is interested the make up he brought me was:

    Korres Lip butter glaze in Crocus
    Korres Cheek Butter in a neutral colour (can't see a number/name)
    Korres Lip Butter in Jasmine
    Tarte 24hr amazonian clay blush in blissful
    Tarte blush stick in blissful
    Sephora and Pantone colour of the year blush duo in Tangerine Dream (AMAZING!!!)

    Just as well I don't count make up really...

    ilovecakes - aren't you lucky! My hubby would never buy me make up if he had to choose it himself! In fact, he won't dare buy me anything unless I expressly tell him what I want!

    Nice present ilovecakes, my DH wouldn't know where to start when it comes to buying me makeup.

    I am loving my new nail polish, the freebie Barry M in Retro Red, I did my nails Saturday with it and used a Sally Hansen base and top coat and there is only two tiny chips and a bit of wear at the tips so I think it has lasted really well. Will take it off tomorrow and try something else.

    Wow I am jealous Ilovecakes! I loved Sephora when they were over here many years ago. Now I have to wait till I go to the Czech Republic every year to get my fix, although might not get anything this year!

    Decided I really want to get MI-5 (Spooks) on DVD. So that's my ambition. Every time I pass on a gwp promotion, I'll get a set. And no, I've been good and avoided finding out how it ends, we've only just started with Harry's son arriving in London.

    Sorry to snip but Spooks is my favourite programme - I loved it, so si sad when it finished and what an ending. Dexter is doing a good job though.
    Not watching anything just now
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    L’Occitane Amande Smooth Hands (30ml) - WMBA once the stash has gone as it was really lovely & effective. I'm enjoying switching between small tubes of different scents though and have lots to work my way through! I'm onto a 25g tube of Crabtree & Evelyn Gardeners Hand Therapy now :)
