    I have another perfume sample uu

    Escada Island Kiss - I did quite like this one, peachy scent somewhere in it and the scent lasted.

    I have 12 outs from ebay sales and I have another set finishing this week which has bids and will be another 12 or so items out. They are mostly gwp items that are for dry skin so no use to me really, I do mixed sets with different brands and find they sell really well rather than all clarins etc.

    Josselette: can totally relate to the "why did I keep it"! thoughts. I guess we are just hopeful?

    I know I have one lipstick that has to be 13 years old. Stop going "ewww" I don't use it. It is my all time favourite but discontinued colour. Every season, I go round to the Dior and Chanel counters and try and find it's twin. They've brought out a lot that are close but just not "it". It lives in a very cool and dark place and only goes on those trips.

    Haha I know it's totally stupid. Must be the hoarder in me :)

    Have 3 more UU after getting ready today.

    S&G Hand Maid Hand Sanitizer - Love this, great scent and not too drying. WBA already have another.

    S&G Smoothie Star Body Lotion - Loved this, smelt yummy and sank in really quickly. Nice and moisturising. WBA.

    YSL Teint Touche Éclat Foundation Sample - I already have the full size of this and love it for a summer foundation. Goodness knows why I still had this hanging around with some left in it! Will be keeping the cute little bottle thing it came in for refilling with foundation for travelling. WBA already have.

    Today I bought 3 x Nair Hair Removal Cream 100ml as I don't like shaving, I prefer HRC or waxing but wax is so expensive!

    In Family Bargains I saw Jolen Wax Pearls for £4.99. Has anyone tried these? Are they any good?

    Edit: I just had a google and it has dreadful reviews on Amazon. One to avoid I think, I'm glad I didn't waste £5!

    More In's to declare:

    6 items from glossy box
    2 sachet of moisuriser and shower stuff freebies

    I have unsubscribed from Luxbox so I will only have glossy left. Luxbox have still not delivered their April's box and have lied so many times about when the box was dispatched. Don't believe anything they say. Waiting for a refund form paypal.

    I have been having a rearrange evening and I am shocked of how much stuff I still have. I have got:
    220 beauty box/ sample/ full size/ freebies products
    10 draws full, a basket full and and over flow box of lush products ( they are smallish draws, 1 will hold 16 bath bombs)
    1 draw of other body products from small companies I like
    1 big box under the bed of mostly body and hair products
    25ish items in a box next to my bed that are in use
    Bathroom cabinet and other things on side of bath
    About 10 items in the cupboard on the landing mostly hair care.
    Make up is not that bad but still won't need to buy anything for a while.
    I total the above at between 400-500 items, very scary.

    In my head I'm still planning to buy a few products from a little company I like an still have LIB box to come with the free box to arrive. I did put a few items on ebay at the weekend but this won't even break the surface. Oh dear, I am seriously going to have to go on a no spend June and July. I don't know why I choose to buy so much, I still love parcels.
