    evening everyone,

    Having quiet a relaxing bank holiday and hoping some pampering too:-)

    Had a very random use up.....a sachet of firming boob gel LOL I think one of my friend put it in a present for me as a joke!! well been sat in my draw forever and last night the kids were out so i tried it! no instructions, felt a bit tingly and after 5 mins I got bored and cold lol......def WNBA LOL

    Ive decided to type up my stash tonight as I feel im losing a grip of it all. I initially wrote it all on paper, but as i had more than I realised the paper became rather crammed, but managable....then this week i discovered a box that I forgot I had used as an overflow and that is not on the list....then my daughter gave me some unwanted xmas pressies.....and I didnt included my toiletries at my boyfriends....and I have a small collection of sachets!............so as I am feeling relaxed and no work for 4 days i'm going to type it all up and print it off!!!! Let the task begin:-)

    Enjoy the bank holiday everyone x

    1 IN Facial cleansing balm from e-bay seller as mentioned by VALM has arrived.

    I bought the one for mature skin. Tried it this morning and no stinging or red patches, I am going to test it alongside the Emma Hardie for a few days by using the new one on one side of face and the EH on the other.

    Nails painted OPI Dule du Leche, this was one of the first ever OPI's that I bought and it kick started my obsession with Nude and Grey polishes. Toe nails are a disgrace and badly need a pedi.:o

    Hi everyone :)

    Got a few UU to report!

    Impulse Body Spray in Tease - Nice fruity scent, cheap and cheerful, good to keep in the handbag. WBA

    Nivea Calm and Care Deodorant - Really like the smell, works well. WBA

    Avene Moisturiser - This was great for sensitive and dry skin. I had a week or so when my skin was terribly dry and flakey and this moisturiser and a bit of E45 were the only things that helped. WBA but it's a bit pricey!

    Nip + Fab Pistachio Body Butter - This smelt really sweet and quite nutty. Moisturised quite well but the scent was a touch over powering. WNBA but wouldn't mind getting it as part of a gift set.

    Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation in Shade 52 - I love this stuff, probably my HG foundation. Have another one in the stash already. WBA

    I also have some INS to confess!

    I couldn't resist the current S&G offer at Boots and ended up with Hand Maid Sanitiser, Pulp Friction Body Scrub, Butter Yourself Body Butter.
    I also picked up some new make up bits as boots has their 3 for 2 offer on. I bought Rimmel Apocolips in Celestial, Maybelline Fit Me Concealer in Shade 15 and 17 Face Primer.

    I went to Tesco yesterday and saw they had some of the Glamour magazines with the hair oil left! So I had to pick one up, seeing as everyone loves it! :o

    Soap & Glory SUGAR CRUSH 300ml

    I have another one in the stash but WNBA after that, it's ok but I'm not a fan of the brown sugar or the smell!

    Hi All,

    Not posted for a few days as have been mad busy at work, Monday will be my only day off so looking forward to that! Hope everyone is well and hopefully enjoying some more clement weather than we've seen of late!

    I've two UU to declare:

    TBS Coconut Shower Creme - WBA but not for a while as I'm a bit sick of this at the moment as it was a massive bottle. That took my shower gel/soap stash down to zero :dance: not bad considering it was one of the biggest parts of my original stash. Toyed with the idea of buying myself something nice (read expensive) to celebrate but although I covet them and I'm sure they're lovely, I could never really justify Molten Brown/Philosophy prices for shower gel - I don't mind paying a bit more for skincare or makeup but I can't really see the benefit with shower gel. I usually just buy what's on offer and I most like the look of so I'll carry on doing that - its nice to have cleared that part of the stash and not had lots of half used bottles hanging about like before. :T

    FCUK Polished Whipped Body Cream - WBA - this was quite old, I'm talking years not months, dating back to when FCUK was the S&G of its day. It had gone a yellowy buttermilk shade but still smelt true to the original scent and was very rich - especially good for my feet and lower legs which tend to be quite dry. Was a LHJ but not an unpleasant one.

    Also have eight out from the stash list plus another couple of bits and pieces for a swap box - won't list them individually and spoil the surprise for the recipient in case they've not arrived yet :cool:

    Finally... A few IN :o All necessary though so not too bad - Radox Shower Scrub Fig & Neroli Oil - got this half price on offer in Tesco, it smells absolutely divine. Scrub is a little misleading, its more like one of those shower smoothies. So nice, I'll definitely be getting a couple more of these if the offer is still on next time I pop in (but not too many!!)

    Also, VO5 Gloss Me Smoothly Shampoo & Conditioner - v pleased to find these in Poundland - really like them, I'm down to one shampoo which is a Tresemme one I really don't like. I had found a bit of Everpure that I'd decanted into a travel bottle so I'd been using that but last bit went this morning. V disappointed to see the Everpure is not stocked in my local Boots despite them just opening a larger branch so will just use the VO5 for now and get some more to alternate next time I'm somewhere that stocks it or if I do an order online.

    Think that's me for the month, there's no splutterers that I can think of and I haven't much in the way of single use products either.
