    Sign ups for the swap will close tonight at 6pm everyone, please email me if you are interested. I will have the buddies drawn and information emailed by 630 x

    Sorry if this has already been covered but how does the swap work? i.e. how many products, can you specify what things you would like to swap for etc?

    Thanks all

    Still have the Boots £5 No 7 vouchers if anyone would like them. I have 3 happy to send out, rather someone else's them than they went to waste :)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    So in the spirit of making a dent in my stash, I had a nice bubble bath last night, used some body scrub and a face mask and felt truly pampered :T

    I have a question for you all... I have some Neal's Yard Frankincense face cream which has been open a while, it doesn't really smell of anything, just of cream. Is it worth using it up or should I just throw it away?
    TIA

    Hi ladies - The swap contents are up to you as far as how many products you would like to give. They should be in new condition and be something that you would like to receive in return. Because we are a no spend thread, we encourage stash shopping first. It is just a great way to give to someone else on this thread and in return be able to try new things as well. If you want to specify what things you would like in a swap, you are more than welcome to do that on our facebook group page, but please keep in mind that since your buddy will be stash shopping, there is a chance that she may not have the items you want. Ladies have already started to list things they are allergic to.

    The minimum is £10 and your entire package can not consist of hotel samples or one off samples. Also, please keep proof of postage in case the package is lost by royal mail or never turns up to your buddy. I will be asking for proof of postage if this situation arose.

    It is up to you if you want to reveal yourself to your buddy in your box :) I haven't in the past, but I think this time I will :)
    It's a great way of sharing and building our community here on this wonderful thread. So I hope you can come join x

    If you have any other questions, please PM me. I will be drawing buddies tonight too :T

    Some UU's today:-

    Akin Rosehip Oil 23ml. WBA, I have a new one ready to start, great when I get break outs (eczema type) and when the weather is cold.

    Gatineau Aquamemory Concentrate 5ml. MBA, but while I have Hydraluron don't think I need to, other things in stash to try first.

    Clarins Hydraquench Cream 5ml. Quite liked it, but have read that the formula has changed to add silicon, which is in my primer already so will list this as a WNBA.

    Sounds great, I'm in :)

    Just to check... the £10 min is the value of products right? (Not cost of postage!) Sorry to sound dense :o
