well....it looks like my chance of graduating has just been blown out of the waters. I have switched jobs to a cosmetic company and they literally gave me about 50 products to take home, so yeah, not graduating anytime soon LOL

Congratulations on the new job tokkiandoliver! I have a friend who is a manager for Boots and her bedroom is like it's own little store! She gets given so many products to try it's unbelievable!

Tokkiandoliver - Yay - what good news, hope you love your new job.

Welcome Cookiemonsta.

Have two uu this morning -

BS Sweet lemon shower gel - 50ml, originally I had two sweet lemon gift sets with three items and a puff in each and apart from the puffs this shower gel was the last of them. WBA as it is nice and refreshing.

M&S Isis body spray - WBA but am not going to for the time being, I will carry on using the perfume and I also have a small bottle of the perfume in the stash so may eventually buy some body spray to go with that.

I had a sort out of my makeup at the weekend and rather than having it in loads of different cases I have put my most used things in a big basket in the bathroom. It is a very big basket but I have also put all my brushes in there too. It is much easier in the mornings now.

sorry to snip but just wanted to saythat I really like the M&S perfumes, nice scent and very good value. :DI do have several in my stash, but bought with offers (obviously :rotfl:)

welcome newbies

Have uu Umberto giannini volumising mousse, can't remember the exact name but it comes in a black tin - wba, gives good volume and doesn't leave hair feeling sticky

happy pampering, xo

UU Lush Enchanter bath bomb. Had a great soak last night. Really liked it but it was a Halloween special so they are no more.

Cast my eye over all the stuff that's technically in use as I had my soak. Down to about half a dozen bottles of shower gel and that's after nearly a year of not buying any...inventory really needs doing...

More IN and UU for me today... Seems a busy month but all my IN are pretty necessary which I suppose happens more often as the stash gets whittled down so I'm not going to beat myself up about it!

UU:

Vichy Idealia Pro sachet - Smelt nice, not entirely sure how you're meant to use this so I just applied some before my usual moisturiser, no obvious effect but then it was just a small sachet - have another one to use yet.

Wella Shockwaves Volumising Mousse - Was a bit of a surprise UU this one, I had a vague idea it was spluttering but ran out without much warning. WBA - its effective, doesn't make my hair crispy or sticky and is a good price in HB.

Sure Clear Pure Crystal roll on deo - smells lovely and very effective, already replaced - a definite HG for me.

IN:
V05 Gloss Me Smoothly Shampoo 250ml - I only bought shampoo yesterday but one use was enough, it was L'Oreal Elvive,the pink sparkly one, left my hair feeling awful all day, really rough and unmanageable, won't even chance it again, even tried straightening my hair again when I got home and its still unruly! - luckily it'll make really pretty handwash! Thought I'd try the V05 as heard good things about it, I know VALM is a fan and it was a third off in Boots so only £1.39. Looking for something cheap to alternate with L'Oreal Everpure, fingers crossed I like this one!

Also got hair dye as due to colour my hair - got a few grey roots poking through :eek: so L'Oreal Preference High Shine Conditioner x 2 (don't count the colour itself as an IN as don't tend to stockpile it - only got two as it was 2 for £10 or £6 each and I know I like this one and will use it)

Congrats on the new job! :j That's fab news but don't expect much sympathy here on the products, we're all jealous!! :rotfl: Besides freebies don't really count....

My friend used to work for L'Occitane. They used to give her tons of products.

I have one UU which is Darphin cleansing water which I WNBA as it was very meh. I don't get the cleansing water hype at all. I have now tried three different ones (I thankfully got given them as gift with purchases etc) and they were all meh. They didn't cleanse any better than normal cleanser, but were all considerably more expensive. I found the Darphin one upset my skin too.

Oh thank goodness I've found you all again! I went looking in the usual place and you weren't there! :rotfl:

UU's

OS Shea Butter and Honey Showergel - WBA Smelled gorgeous!
Boots Cucumber Face Wipes - WBA - I use face wipes to take my makeup off before I use my 'proper' cleanser cause I wear a lot of eye makeup etc
Sephora primer - Would love to buy again if only there was a Sephora in the UK! Seriously I love this primer, I may have to book a trip to Paris just to stock up!

2 more UUs to report!

Neutrogena Rainbath refreshing shower and bath gel - 27ml - used to wash some delicates. WNBA because I didn't like the smell very much.

Eden Bath & Shower gel - 25ml - used in the washing machine to wash clothes. This was a generic freebie from a hotel which I would have just left and never used.
