Actually, yes I might break mine down too!

Unopened stuff - in those folding crates I mentioned before
Unopened stuff I'll need in the next couple of weeks - In a Soap & Glory tote box on top of the crates
In use - on bathroom shelving unit, bedroom dresser and in four-drawer plastic unit in bathroom.
Make-up is in a pretty compartmented chest from TKMaxx, nail varnish is in a small Really Useful Box.

Umberto Gianni Curl Friends Conditioner
This used to be my go to product - but I now prefer VO5 since their re-vamp so WNBA.

WooHoo - 3 UU's !!!

Hi Tracey and welcome, what VO5 do you use as I have curly hair and used to buy herbal essences its a curl thing which seems to have been discontinued, use Umberto Giannini styling products quite a lot too

morning all,hope you had a good weekend,DH spent most of it in his office catching up with paperwork after our holiday:mad:went to a concert in Burys st Eds cathedral,sat behind a huge man whose wife sat with her head on his shoulder so did not see a thing:mad::mad::mad:music was super tho esp Allegris misererie OMG those high notes!!!!
cold and wet here again today:(am thinking of booking a night away with DH for his birthday(at least it will get him out of the office)BUT the place wants 40% non return deposit and till i know what is happening with my foot(seeing consultant wed) I am wary of booking stuff i can't cancel.
need to complete beauty bible notes,not been very impressed with the last lot of stuff esp stretch mark remover:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:(youngest son 23)

after my last shellac mani my nails looked a bit dull and flaky at the ends,I did a french mani which lasted all holiday and another last week,think the extra polish on the tips is stopping the flaky bits catching as no breaks at all in weeks:):):):)

My stash is stored all over the bedroom and bathroom as follows:

Soap & Glory box (the big one which came with the tote set) this is full to the top of shower gel.

Large gym bag full of body butter/lotion

2 medium size ikea storage boxes on wardrobe - one is completely full of Elemis & Liz Earle.

Bedside cabinet full of lord alone knows what.

Large storage box under bed full of hair products.

Medium size storage box full of mini facial products

Large wicker basket on wardrobe full of full size facial products.

2 x really useful boxes 1 full of face masks the other bars of soap.

2 large chrome shower caddys full of opened bath/shower/hair products.

2 small chrome caddys full of opened skincare

2 large corner shelves in bathroom cupboard - again full of who knows what.

Make up is in Gok vanity case, large rattan basket and several makeup cases.

The space it all takes up is RIDICULOUS - I need to make a huge effort between now and Christmas. I use a lot of products so if I stop buying I will have made a big difference by then.

I have many times on here complained about the S&G hand food when it goes off. Emailed their customer services to complain and received a reply - :eek: OMG you will not believe how rude and arrogant it was :mad:
It was poorly written, with no offer to refund/replace or exchange. They did say that they would be changing the formulation.
Shocked at their attitude, that's the last S&G I'll be buying.

That's terrible - they aren't doing themselves any favours with that attitude!

Evening all.

UU's
lush fun (blue) WNBA I liked the smell but did not like the product, it made my skin squeeky if that made sense. Not fun.
Dermalogica special cleansing gel (sample size) WNBA only 1 more left to use. I liked the product but would not spend the money on it when there are other cheaper effective alternatives.
8 outs ebay.

How do I store my stuff.
I have a 12 draw plastic unit (3 desk ones clipped together) which I store my lush products in and other handmade small companies stuff in.
I have a smallish wicker basket which I keep my lush perfumes, large shower jellies opened shower gels in.
I have an overflow box for lush shower gels/ bubble bath.
I have a large plastic box under the bed for body lotions and hair care.
A medium plastic box holds my sample sized hand and body stuff.
A medium plasic box for face cleansers (full and sample suzed) and for full sized face creams.
A small/ medium box for sample sized face moisturisers and serums (there are a few full sized products).
A few small boxes hold extra make up/ sample sized make up and 1 holds perfume samples.
I have a craft box that holds the most of my make up
I have a shelf in a cupboard where I store shampoo/ conditioners/ bubble bath.
I have a smallish cupboard in the bathroom that holds toothpaste/ extra stuff e.g. hair care.
I have a small draw for nail polishes.
A box on the bedside table hold face/ hand products currently in use
I think that is it, I have alot of work to do but I do like it organised.

My stash is stored as follows:

Large deep storage basket at end of bath, wicker basket on bathroom window sill, shelving unit at end of bath, smaller items such as sachets, nail polish etc are in a vanity case that came with a S&G OOTW one Christmas. Things I use daily such as moisturiser, cleanser, makeup, hair stuff is in a big S&G bag, again from one of the OOTW - this is kept in the dining room which sounds strange but I tend to get ready downstairs as my bathroom is downstairs. Perfume are on the bathroom window sill but not in direct sunlight - any unopened are stashed in the bathroom cabinet. If I've anything earmarked for a present then they usually go in my wardrobe. They are all still in use but mostly a lot less overflowing than they were at the beginning of the challenge.

I also tend to have a bodyspray in my handbag, a handcream on my desk at work and a tub of body butter etc next to my bed. Lipglosses and lip balms are dotted all over the place at random....
