  • Who do I message to ask to join the FB swaps group? I have loads of stuff which is unopened that would probably be better off swapped than being used.

    Roguey - I had the LE C&P email but I have at least 2 full size and a good few 30ml size in the stash so if I bought it it would be just going to the back of a big queue.

    Welcome Fairyshazza - can't help with the FB page I can't remember who manages it.

    With regard to FB local selling pages how do you find them, I don't really use FB and have no idea how it all works but I would like to sell some bits and bobs locally. Can anyone help? TIA

  • Welcome newbies!

    Fairyshazza - there were a few admin people for the FB group, I've not joined it myself (mainly cos I'm lazy, I do have lots of things I could swap!) but from the list on the first post I think seasideDreamer or luvlycake have been on here most recently so you could try PM'ing them to join?
    I am also trying to go for more natural products once I get through the stash.

    Suzitiger - oh please post your stash list, we love a fresh new one most of all! :D Mine was 4 pages of a Word Document when I started and that wasn't even all my make up so don't worry about your stash being too big! I can't imagine what would have happened if I worked in a toiletries shop as well :eek:

  • Evening everyone,

    I haven't been posting in September as I haven't had many UU to report but have been reading along.

    3 UU
    Body Shop Dreams Unlimited shower gel 60ml size - WBA if it wasn't for the 7 years (no joke!) stash of shower gel under the bathroom sink. Nice fragrance and I still have half of the perfume left.

    Sanctuary roll on perfume in Pomegranate & Cassis - liked the fruity fragrance butI don't need any perfumes at all!

    Pantene 2 min deep repair masque sachet - WNBA, I don't expect much deep conditioning in 2 minutes tbh so I'll just leave my normal conditioner on for 2 minutes instead.

    Only the one in, a honey hand cream bought from the shop in a honey farm. Along with some honey obviously! :)

  • hello suzitiger!
    For the LE fans, I've just received an email saying the 100ml C&P pump plus two muslin cloths is £9.50 until Tuesday 10am or stock sells out.

    I put two in the basket and then closed the page, must not buy, must not buy...

    i nearly did the same! i really don't need cleanser though, theres a full size C&P and an unopened Nuxe one in the queue already!


    i had a NPI yesterday, saw the Laura Mercier smokey eye palette in Selfridges at the Trafford Centre. Decided that i already have the same shades in various other palettes, im drowning in mascara and lipgloss and my brush collection does not need to grow any bigger. does look pretty though! *sighs*

    Welcome suzitiger and Fairyshazza. I would definitely recommend writing a stash list, it did take me months to get round to it, it's like ripping a plaster off. But once you have done it I found it has made me target things and use them up.

    Evening ladies,

    I got a lovely parcel from enchanted today so have items to declare

    INS
    2 bubble bars, looking forwards to trying a bubble bar from a company othe than lush

    7 bars of soap, there is no excuse for this one, I don't need any but I will use some as Christmas presents.

    2 bath bombs

    4 foaming body scrubs, you can never have enough scrubs especially with how quick I get through them

    1 whipped body wash


    UU's
    Jungle solid conditioner WBA I do like this as its fairly cheap, I turn it into a liquid conditioner and it lasts well.

    Asda shaving gel WBA doe the job

    BS rainforest shine shampoo WNBA it did not clean my hair and left it greasy but it has been great for cleaning the bath and sink and even washing bras with.
