SuiDreams, when I read your first post I thought "that's not many INs" until I saw the rest. Lots of lovely things there.

2 more UUs for me and a few INs.

UU: VO5 Plump It Up shampoo 500ml: WBA, I liked this.

Ren Hydra-calm cleansing gel 25ml: quite liked this but probably WNBA as I'll try other cleansers.

INs:

Body Shop cranberry shower gel: got a sample of this last year and loved it but it was all sold out when I went to get some. Got this for £2 in the sale.

Origins Clear Improvement mask: paid for with a Love2Shop card from Top Cashback.

I've ordered Alpha H Liquid Gold from BeautyBaby - my skin needs a boost!

Thanks Becky.I felt really stressed last night even before I'd posted that. There was some useful advice in there but not enough for me to feel it was worthwhile asking the question. I made the mistake of not agreeing with everything that everyone said and that somehow meant I was a 'troll'.

Hello ladies- i've been missing in action. I hope you've all had a lovely christmas.

I've had a few ins (no 7 set, baylis and harding set, soap and glory set (s)) but i've also had some outs.

I was at my sister's when I got back from sales shopping and decided to de-box everything and list what I had - BIL thought I'd lost the plot!! And yet he is the very person who was always horrified by the amount of stash in my bathroom pre-challenge. At least with a stash list I know what I've actually got which was half the problem before...

Off to weigh up the gifted IN now and will post those later. I know I've some fabulous additions :T Totally gleeful and not at all remorseful I'm afraid, at least I won't have to buy anything for the foreseeable and its all been very :money: and products I love.

Big hugs to Noelphobic, not everywhere on the forum is as friendly and supportive as this thread unfortunately - feel free to stray OT here as many of us often do, you're certainly not a troll!

I have a UU - Johnson bath soak, used as a shower gel as rarely have baths, was ok.

I had planned to have a couple of OUTs for Christmas but ended up just giving BF's mum a BS set. I have in the past given his sister and husband but at the last minute decided against. I'm so glad I did as not that I give to receive but last year's gifts were rubbish and trying to declutter so do not need anything extra.

Diorskin nude concealer

Diorskin Forever in 050 Dark Beige - unfortunately way too dark for me so will put up for swap or Ebay if no takers

Dior Addict Lip Maximizer

Diorshow Extase Mascara in 090 Extase Black

Dior Vernis Nail Polish in 545 Psychedelic Orange (fab name)

Dior Rouge Dior lipstick in 349 Rose Junon - I don't really wear lipstick, only gloss so at the risk of sounding massively ungrateful this will be another for swap/Ebay

Fair to say I have been totally spoilt

SuiDreams

Emsjune looks like we have both been really spoilt over Christmas. On a positive note it will save me a lot of money as won't need to buy anything for a while.
