  • UU

    Laverna all round cream - WNBA from a beauty box a while ago - tried to use it up as a body cream but it was difficult to rub in so finished it on my feet where it worked OK but there are others I prefer.

    S&G Clean on me - LHJ - I have S&G fatigue - whilst I like it I have overdone it in the last few years and I dont love it like I used to. However there are many more left in the stash and it always makes an appearance in my Christmas presents.


    Sold
    1 ebay out
    No more buying toiletries
  • Finally some time to myself and a UU of Lush honey bee balistic
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Have a uu

    Elizabeth Arden 8 hour day cream 15ml - I liked this, it was very light and fluffy and absorbed easily. It does have the 8hr smell so may not suit some because of that. Have replaced it with a 50ml tube of Body Shop Vitamin C Day Cream.

  • Hooray, finally finished an LHJ - Soap and Glory Glam-a-lot body spray. I always seem to get these as presents, despite being very much a perfume girl rather than a body spray one. Smells nice enough but WNBA.
    I think I agree with you, Mac, S&G fatigue is a terribly un-useful thing!

    I know a lot of you aren't fans of Lush, but I really am, and a quick disclaimer - a LOT of this was presents, and some things (Ice Blue, So White) are discontinued favourites I've gathered from the internet. So here is my Lush stash :)

    I'm a big lush fan. I'm a veggie and all their products are lovely and animal free! I get very excited about the Christmas stuff too. :T

    I'm so excited for the Christmas stuff! :D
    I just meant that I've seen a lot of negative feeling on the thread over the years, surrounding the company itself rather than the products - high prices, the thing with the 10% vouchers, various policies... But like you say, the products themselves are great and more ethical than a lot of brands... :)

    I have completed my stash list, and am fairly sure there's no more hiding anywhere (except a couple of lipbalms, which could be in coat pockets and stuff)! I even took stash pics!

    I feel a bit strange looking at how much it all is, but also a bit comforted that when I go into my crazy no-spend at the beginning of October, I'll be sorted on most fronts for ages(except conditioner). Also, almost everything I have, I like and will enjoy using, so there's at least not much to trek through before it's all good! WHY do I have so much moisturiser, though?? And lip balms?? :o
