  • Happy Sunday to everyone!

    I finally got a chance to catch up.

    I have a few undeclared ins as they were part of the pumpkin swap :) So I will be definitely using them all up this week so hopefully I can get some UU's in there.

    Now time for my IN's:
    Models own screwed me! They had this awesome 50% sale so I ended up buying: blending sponges (like the beauty blenders) and 3 nail polishes in mixed up, luis lemon, and hedonist. This is the only time of the year that I buy models own so I just couldn't resist :/

    I also bought some cheap makeup from Korea online to test for my blog, so I bought a etude house e/s brush, blush and a tonymoly lipbalm gloss.

    Another IN is the Chanel illusion d'ombre in Vision - this was a gift from DH as it was our anniversary yesterday :)

    INS for 2013 starting March: 8

    A few UUs.. Lush bubble slice and a Bomb Cosmetics baby ur a star one and the very last dregs of some snow fairy i saved for use with a Lush bath bomb.

    Well I think I'm able to declare I've graduated:j I dont have any toiletries stashed and the makup will probably last me forever but I don't buy it, its been years since I brought any so I think thats okay:)

    Congrats!! :beer: I'm a long way off but hope to get there one day, my stash is a bit of a comfort blanket though so I'm not entirely sure I can whittle everything down but if I get it to 'reasonable' proportions I'll be happy :D

    Lovely to come back to 5 pages to catch up on. & Happy to report no INs this month!

    A few UUs.. Lush bubble slice and a Bomb Cosmetics baby ur a star one and the very last dregs of some snow fairy i saved for use with a Lush bath bomb.

    Well I think I'm able to declare I've graduated:j I dont have any toiletries stashed and the makup will probably last me forever but I don't buy it, its been years since I brought any so I think thats okay:)

    That's amazing! Congratulations seasideDreamer! :T
  • Thanks everyone:) I must agree toiletries are a bit like a comfort blanket and its very sad to see my pretty empty hat boxes and more to the point if BF sees they are empty he might make me part with them eeek where's the Boots book;)
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Hello ladies.

    I hope you're all well- have a hug from me if you're not!

    I have some outs:
    Garnier mineral anti-persperant spray- WBA as it did the job.
    Avon touche eclat dupe- WNBA as there are cheap concealers out there with more in them and that do the same job.

    I'm going to put some conditioner in my hair and let it soak in for a few hours!

    Congrats on the graduation, I hope you will be looking in on us:) I don't think I will graduate for ages and ages, in fact I think I should decide who to leave my stashes to (nail polish, knitting yarn, beads and toiletries):rotfl:I have not added to the yarn and beads lately, need to get spare room sorted as a hobbies room, just a few boxes left from the move.

  • afternoon ladies,

    big congrats to seasidedreamer:beer:, well done, I'm a long way off graduating,

    I have a uu - Balance me eye cream - a magazine freebie a while back. I really loved this product, it's quite light but very moisturising, I have another one in the stash.

    I also have to confess to a truly woeful amount of INS:o: bought all four varieties of the l'occitane hand cream being given away with Marie Claire, which meant I also have two Dove conditioner INS as well (they were missing from two of the mags).

    I also bought the mag with the freebie benefit as I wanted to try sunbeam.

    Also have to declare some Molton Brown purchases - IN Templtree Shower & Bath gel, and also declaring a bottle of Indian Cress shampoo - used the £10 off voucher from M Claire so not too bad.

    On the positive side I did manage to resist buying the very gorgeous Frenzy nail polish by Chanel.


    hopefully I will be a bit more restrained for the rest of the month as I seem to temporarily forgotten why I joined this thread. :o:o:o

    Congrats SeasideDramer. The only thing I have an abundance of still is shower gels and I do keep buying because I find that the ones I have don't match the body lotions/butters I have left IYSWIM. Can't see me getting those finished before the usual Christmas influx/Philosophy autumn order!

    oooh is the Christmas Gift Guide out now? Anyone know when the OOTW start? Am hoping to get a Gok set for Emma on one of these. Did buy first Christmas present on Thursday - got her a set of Ralph Lauren perfumes that she saw in Gibralter and didn't get.
    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!

    Had forgotten about the voucher re: Molten Brown. May have a browse there.

    Googled Frenzy and was surprised at the colour as I was expecting it to be red/orange coloured from the name. It looks very similar to OPI Don't Pretzel My Buttons from the new Germany collection. Not that I want to be seen to be enabling. x

    have just repainted my nails and am wearing Germanicure by OPI which may be a good likeness to Rouge Noir although I think RN is more of a creme than a shimmer which the OPI one is.
