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

Hi Lucky Star,

I use the Gloss Me Smoothly - I found the small 250ml size bottles of it in the Poundshop (I thought it's so cheap I'll give it a go) - my hairs not really tight curls curly more wavy with a lot of wayward bits! but it does get quite frizzy! I quite like the smell as well (but I'm sure it's not to everyones taste!) I prefer the VO5 to Pantene.

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

I think that might be one bad apple spoiling it for the orchard, I've sent e-mails several times over the years and they've always been lovely!

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.

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.

Ladies, a momentous occasion has occurred for me: I have finally used up the most LHJ ever!! :T:j

UU82: Tigi Bedhead Control Freak Serum - I have honestly had this for about 10 years and can say I definitely WNBA :rotfl: to be fair I haven't used it consistently apart from for the past few years or so. Don't think it really did much for my hair either. Now can use the Percy & Reed hair oil which I have seen good reviews on here about :T

UU83: Clinique Turnaround Concentrate 15ml - WNBA, this was a GWP. Didn't notice any improvement with my skin, again I haven't really used this consistently so I guess that I can't really give it a fair judgement.

Hope everyone is well. Love being nosy and reading how everyone stores their stash. I store mine as follows:

In use bath/face products - shelf in bathroom opposite shower and sink

Spare hair care products/razors/medicines etc - wicker 4 basket unit thingy in bathroom

Spare bath products - 2 boxes on bathroom shelf

Spare face products and some other random items - 2 draws in my dressing table

Daily products e.g. deodorant, hand cream, body moisturiser, hair stuff - in 2 small baskets on my dressing table

Spare hair stuff/hair stuff that's not regularly used - in a draw in my bedside table

Make up - In some muji storage and an ikea filing unit in my bedroom

I also have various travel sized and holiday items in some make up/wash bags under my bed. I keep all my perfume on my dressing table.

:eek: I have a lot of stuff :eek:

Another UU:

Soap and Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub. WBA, but don't need it at the moment. Have other smaller size S&G products still to use. I'm going on holidays next month so I fear I may come back with new products. That's when I usually treat myself.

OMG tell me about it! I've had my bottle open for at least two years, why they sell serum in such a big bottle is beyond me! I like it but really, I've still got 100ml left from the 250ml bottle and I know I've thrown about 50ml away from when I got sick of a very unyeilding travel bottle I'd poured some into!

I also have two 600ml Tigi hard head hairsprays, one of which I'm trying to get rid of, the other may join it soon, soooooo bored of them!

UU Emma Hardie serum WBA but have another in the stash.

UU lidl Cien conditioner WBA have one in the stash this is good stuff for about 80p!

Ins Emma Hardie TSV. I have also done the l'occitane glitch as I wouldn't normally buy it but it was a good deal.

My stuff is in the bathroom cabinet, hubby has one shelf, I have the other nine! Lol

Basket in bathroom has cottonwool and some body lotions, ledge in bathroom has shampoo bottles and soap lined up. Window sill has goldfish bowl with soaps and bath bombs, make up bag with brushes and blusher, top of toilet makeup bags x 2 one with daily use, one with stash and nice stuff for special.

Wardrobe shelf stash of perfume, showergels, S&G box with body butters and hand lotions in bottom of wardrobe, hat boxes with some lip balms and other little odds and ends.

Hmmm that does seem rather a lot! Lol

I do have another 5 Ins to report but I am not going to beat myself up about them as they were the rather lovely Elemis GWP items.

Pro-Collagen Cleansing balm 20g
Skin Nourishing Milk Bath 60ml
Skin Nourishing Shower Cream 100ml
Pro-radiance illuminating flash balm 15ml
Soothing Apricot Toner 50ml (and a cleansing cloth)

Morning all.

I have some uu to report

Bio Effect Serum - this is a 3ml bottle which came in the LIB advent calendar. This is a very nice serum, its a true serum imo, it's like a gel/oil which feels lovely on. My skin has been brighter since using it but it is £125 for 15ml so WNBA, you only need about 3 drops so it would last but still the price is crazy. Am going back to Superdrug Swiss Apple serum now.

Gosh Brow Pen - this is a felt tip type pen and it is brilliant for filling in gaps. I have had this in daily use since September so it is :money:. There is still product in there if I use it on my hand but when I do my brows it is vertical so the last bit must drain down from the tip iyswim. I have another in the stash but for now am going back to my No7 brow pencil.

I resisted the L'occ glitch but it does seem to have worked out well for people, great if you need it but I don't. I also resisted the Liz Earle TSV yesterday, that also looked good value.
