    Valm Thank you :)
    Decided to have a clear out of my jewelry and got a bit teary as I found some things from people who weren't here anymore, but in a way it was quite cathartic, I felt better afterwards and my dressing table looks much nicer!
    I'm a recent convert to Vampire Diaries, and I'm in the middle of Series 2 - it's so addictive! Damon is so gorgeous - cannot understand Elena choosing Stefan?!

    kadison can't believe how long your MUA order took - mine was only a few days! I'm glad I took advantage of the half price offer as I have some new favourites, although some of the stuff I have been a bit unimpressed with!
    Ooh the starter kit, and the kabuki are on my list of things I want! Thank you for the hugs :)

    And for today/yesterday I have 4 INs - 1 YSL 5ml foundation sample, and 3 sachets of the YSL forever serum. They were free and small so I don't feel too bad about them, quite looking forward to trying the foundation!

    TA - Trial size of Lush Lemon flutter cuticle butter - WNBA as I just wasn't hugely keen (and smelt foul when I threw it!) :/

    TA - OPI Copper Mountain Copper - beautiful sade but cannot get it to open?!

    UU - Garnier deodorant - worked well enough, WBA

    UU - Nivea pearl deodorant - WNBA as I prefer them when the opening is on the bottle so you don't have to tilt it to get anything out if that makes sense!?

    UU - Mini Sanctuary Sento Body lotion - WNBA as it smelt a bit like it was meant for feet! Ended up using it on my feet as I just didn't care for it's smell at all!

    Hope everyone is doing ok!

    Glad you feel a bit better hammyham.

    A friend I used to work with and I used to laugh about TVD - we used to wonder why noone in Mystic Falls had the ugly gene.

    Try running hot water over the bottom of your bottle cap. It might loosen it.
    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!

    I think you're all blind :o

    Its clearly all about Caroline and Tyler :A

    On a beauty related note, I've somehow completely and suddenly run out of my HG No7 4 in 1 wipes :eek:

    I should semi yay for graduating on the wipe stash?

    But /panic I'm going to have to go and buy wipes tomorrow because I just messed around with a bottle of makeup remover and a stack of cotton pads and it took forever to get all my makeup off. No more.

    Any recommendations since I baulk at paying £7.25 full price for the No7 ones.

    I'm particularly after the 'make up remover' element rather than 'cleansing' since I cleanse after using a wipe.

    Well done on your milestone and the savings you have made roguey.

    I used to love the Smashbox primer as well but found after a time that it made my skin feel oily. Just be careful when you get a full sized that you don't apply too much. I've switched to Laura Geller Spackle which is more cream based than silicone in texture (don't know what ingredients are in each but this is best way for me to describe the difference IYKWIM.)

    Painted my toe nails last night and am now sporting Mavala The Elle Grey with OPI Pirouette my Whistle on my big toes. Topped my finger nails up with OPI The One That Got Away. Have never worn this before as it's Emma's and I was coveting it after she painted her toe nails in it.

    Thanks for the heads up; I was debating which size to buy but in the circumstances I think the travel size would be more appropriate! What does the one that got away look like? I am now singing 'the man that got away' in my head, with full Judy Garland vibrato.

    Rougey - i think I had a sample of the smashbox primer but it was in a very sparkly bronze colour so i chucked it out as I am far from bronze - is yours a neutral colour?
    Mine was the photofinish primer which is clear; it's one of the reasons I like it so much as my skintone is so pale that even coloured primers are too dark often.

    Oh grats to Roguey, I started about the same time as you but I'm no where near 100 UU yet, soon thought hopefully!!

    I have lots of minis in the stash and make sure to break up the bigger products with them in order to keep momentum (and stave off the boredom!)

    I also use Tesco wipes but currently have Boots Expert wipes in my gym bag from a previous glitch a few years ago.
    I know some posters here recommend the Primark wipes that are 2for £1.
    :)

    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    Roguey - Well done on the 100 UUs :T
    VALM - Since you like the Vampire Diaries do you watch BBC 3's Being Human? I love it but gutted to find out today that this series is the last :( sob! How will I cope without some Hal :smileyhea in my Sunday nights?!?

    Broke my right thumb nail today. Smacked in straight into a wall and it has split in the centre, right down to halfway...I could possibly repeat what came out of my mouth :o. So I have pieced together what I can but it is so sore.

    Oh Fiasco, OUCH! X fingers that you can keep it clear of infection, it's enough to make a saint swear.
    Dolly, could there be a lady dog in heat anywhere in the vicinity re your Lab wanting out?
    Even if your dog has been neutered, it doesn't stop the urges totally.
    I was extremely surprised when my good friend's dog demonstrated this....
    We were on a pub patio at the time, and the object of his desire was a beautiful apricot Standard Poodle.
    He was a Golden Lab/Springer Spaniel cross, who looked 99% Golden Lab but sadly didn't have the usual Lab brain power.
    When my huge OE Sheepdog was in heat a tiny miniature Jack Russell called Harold used to camp on our doorstep from dawn to dusk.
    He was one hell of an optimist, was Harold ...

    Hi, I've been a lurker on here for months! I think it's about time I came clean about my stash :)

    I recently sorted through all of my toiletries and decided enough was enough, I'm running out of room to store it. Despite having enough body lotions and hand creams to last probably the next 5 years, I had a massive Body Shop order arrive last week thanks to their 40% off sale and 2 Burts Bees grab bags from the grabbit board.

    I only ever have one of something open at one time, so only one moisturiser, etc, but that just means I have so many brand new products to use up! I think it's going to take me a lot longer than some of you, but I don't intend to buy any more for a long time now. :)
