I am sure I have a huge stash of various toiletries/make up in my bedroom but the room is such a mess I can't face it:o. My son moved out a couple of months ago and I moved into his room to make it easier to sort mine out - but I haven't actually done anything! There is stuff somewhere in there that would come in handy for my holiday so I need to brave it soon - wish me luck!

I can sympathise with you on this! I've started trying to re-sort my stash and I've just got stuff everywhere! Not enough room to think :eek: I just want to find the Weleda serum & creams but it's probably good for me to have a reminder of what I have...

One TA, which is a shame:

Coconut Body Lotion. I bought this at TKMaxx and it smells really off, has separated and gone really runny I wonder if it was already old as I've had things for much longer than this and they've been fine. I've had surprisingly few TAs so far. It doesn't feel good to TA but I've so much other body lotion to UU that I'm in a race against time as it is

Hi Bunnykins! Hope you're dashing somewhere nice :rotfl:

Just been to the Boots website and have 3 more ins to report - at least they will be when I collect them next week

Marc Jacobs Daisy Petite Flowers EDT 20ml (on offer)
Collection 2000 Extreme Coloured Length Mascara (the elusive blue mascara so this was a planned buy)
Olay Essentials Wet Cleansing Facial Wipes Sensitive

The wipes were bought to bring the order value over £20 and therefore free to pick up in store. I looked at a few end of range cheapys but even though they didn't show as out of stock they came up as discontinued when I tried to order them. I was on the website for ages trying to find something cheap and that I didn't have loads of (which is a big ask!) I don't have a huge wipes/cleansing stash, but these won't be as useful as wipes you can put in your bag and use on the go.

UU- Garnier roll on deodrant
INs- 2 Garnier spray deodrants because I had a £3 Garnier refund voucher and they were £1.50 each:money:
Skin Wisdom cleanser and toner as my toners nearly out
Lush Brazened honey face mask- no face masks here in the stash

Exactly! I'm not sure that I can hand real money over for another eyeshadow palette either 'Smoked' looks lovely but I've just found out that it's £35! :eek: The new UD foundation is £27 which I think is far too expensive The colour range looks amazing though and I saw a blog post showing what it's like and it looked great. Booooo! Bring UD back to Boots!

My deal with myself re AC points is that I buy boring things to get the points (contact lens solution & stuff like that) and then the points are strictly for treats. I think that I'm going to spend my points on the Real Techniques Core Collection brushes and maybe another Revlon lip stain thingy. :j

:eek: £35 for a palette :eek: They used to be £20, I don't have enough AC points even if Boots did sell UD!

I usually try to spend my points on nice treats because I don't like to "waste" them on boring stuff but my stash is so horrendous that there is nothing I can justify at the moment. I got the Clinique Bonus Time last year, so two products and my GWP bag all for no pennies :j

Welcome tinydancer, we're a friendly bunch so please feel free to join in the chat! Just remember that we're not hoarding toiletries, it's a collection :rotfl: (according to the crazy make up hoarding lady on Youtube)

Welcome TinyDancer - As you can see, you are not alone in this battle .

Have a lovely holiday Tater.

Hope things are on the up Asset - sounds like you have had a rubbish couple of days.

I am just back from seeing The Bourne Legacy and I quite enjoyed it. I must admit I do have a small thing for a certain Mr Renner but that aside I thing he did a good action guy job. It would take some doing to top the Bourne Ultimatum but so far so good.

Yet again nothing doing on the UU front - boo hiss!

I spend my boots points on treats too. Got the stila one step correct last time I had a load and I love it!

I have more INs. My IN list is going to be epic when I get home and the UU barely make a dent lol

I stumbled across the Jouer counter in Henri Bendal whilst looking for a brew and some sort of chair to sit and drink it in after walking 20 blocks with nary a Starbucks in sight and caught sight of the vanity case I saw online in jan when I was looking for a new one and fell in love with. Only reason I don't get it was cz nobody shipped it to England. It was filled and worth over $300. Should have been $200 according to my research but the SA insisted it was $150 with a free $32 bronzer and I didn't feel much like arguing lol.

This is it and it came with all the make up in the photo

Also went to the Met too. They had a Prada exhibition on. The flame shoes they did last spring look EPIC in real life. They had a mini one as an Xmas tree decoration in the gift shop I was going to get but I didn't think DH would appreciate it :rotfl:

Good luck - I know the feeling. DH went to look for travel plug and discovered where I had been hiding some nv this morning! :eek:. When I return from hols I will be doing some serious decluttering.

Welcome TinyDancer - you are among friends here and we all try to keep one another on the straight and narrow.

This looks stunning! Enjoy...

And finally, before we head off to France this evening I have managed to scrape another UU in:

Philosophy Inner Grace body spritz - must confess I had this a while and had been putting off using as I was expecting it to be oily - well, it wasn't. It was very nice, dried very quickly but the scent didn't seem to last long which was a bit of a shame. WNBA as I think I prefer to use shower gel and body lotion then the perfume with Philosophy things to build up the scent.

Have packed lots of travel minis so hope to diminish the stash a bit whilst away and am going to avoid the make up stores on the ferry...(altho' we sail out on Spirit of France and looking at the pics the shops on board do look rather good....)

See you in about a fortnight - be good everyone!

Rosemary - sorry forgot to answer your ?. I use my advantage points to treat myself so save them up until there is a GWP offer on then buy something that I need (?) with the points and get the gift. Last time I did it was with an EL offer as I like the advanced night repair and had run out.

Aw Thanks everyone! High Five
Im going to try and use up some all of my shampoo's that i bought in bulk recentley to get extra boots points!
