    Oooh Bath and Body Works I could write a list. Make sure you have a sniff of these as they are gorgeous - White Citrus, Japanese Cherry Blossom and Sweet Pea.

    Are you encouraging me to buy stuff I don't need?!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I will be sure to have a good sniff of them!

    Tater - as far as I know, in order to get the 'leaping bunny' on your packaging, none of your products OR ingredients can be teasted on animals. I can only assume that some of the ingredients are not 'cruelty free' because as far as I know TBS does not test on animals.

    Reading that back it doesn't really seem very helpfull!!

    Also, I wonder if you have to pay to submitt your products for verification? If so, then would TBS 'gain' anything from putting this symbol on it's packaging?? It already is a very high profile company. Might be worth an e-mail to CS to verify that all the ingerdients used are cruelty free??

    My first guess is they are, and this is purly a cost/marketing implication.

    Of course, my mind is a mess at the moment - I could well be talking out of my behind and not even know it:o

    Thanks for this, you make lots of sense! I may send them an email, it would be interesting to know their reasoning.

    Have another UU to report:

    S&G Flake Away Mini - WNBA, not as scrubby as my HG exfotonic.

    Went home for the day yesterday and my mum gave me a couple of toiletry bits and pieces that kids had bought her as a present and she's actually allergic to a lot of it (she's a teacher). So you could say I'm back in the club!

    Having an awful day at work today. Feeling very nauseous and have a massive headache. Might try and pop off early, but the mood my boss is in, I don't think that's going to happen!

    Haven't had a chance to catch up with the rest of the July thread so going to try and keep up with this month's :rotfl:

    Sure I had some UUs from last month but can't remember them off the top of my head.

    Here is my updated stash list though. Don't think it's really shrunk but have added a couple of items, one a magazine freebie and the other a freebie through the post.

    Trudij - I'm a paralegal. I do family law but I might be able to help a bit if it's something else.

    I've got some UU but I'll list them when I do the ins. Will make the list seem not so bad!

    I was going to get a set from Nordstrom but there isn't one in manhattan and I'm not trekking to new jersey for a make up set lol.

    I have an in to report :o. I got the Marie Claire with a free 50ml Murad cleanser. In my defence, I don't have a huge stash of cleansers and I do have a couple of splutterers at the moment (body sprays not cleansers). My biggest problem is shower gels and bubble bath (and there hasn't been a bath in this house since I had it taken out about 8 years ago!) I also have a body lotion/butter/cream habit, although I've yet to find a HG and don't find any of them make much difference. They might come in handy if I manage to catch some sun on my holiday though, hold the dreaded flaking at bay.
