  • Nosy moo that I am, I just had to take a look at your jewellery luvlycake, and wow - how pretty?! You're one talented lady. Best stock up on biccies as I will be sure to pop in next time I'm up in Manchester :)

    You are very kind *blushes* :o

    TBS satsuma oil - WNBA despite keeping in a cool dark place the fragrance had mostly disappeared.

    2 ebay outs

    Have spent the day building a helmer and arranging my nail polish collection (addiction).

    Have painted my nails with Liquid lacquer legend - this is my first thermal polish and I suspect not my last.
    No more buying toiletries

    Philosophy have a couple of new winter shower gels (I think they are new), Spiced gingerbread Cookie and Shortbread Cookie - they sound yummy. I am using Hot Buttered Rum at the moment and it is lovely although Cinnamon Buns is my fave, I just wish the scents lingered though.

    Don't tell me this! I am a real sucker for Philosophy shower gels! :D

    Well.... Initially I was looking at Benefit Big Beautiful Eyes, then I was distracted by a NARS palette, a ltd edition one I think (what a great marketing ploy the ltd edition is!) and then I was also considering the various Dior 5 Couleurs compacts - I've got one of those already which is in Lifting Ivory and I love it but the mid taupe shade is pretty much gone. I'm after something quite neutral - I've already a few other Benefit kits too and my Naked2 is still going strong from last year although Suspect and Verve are no more and YDK is not too far behind. Any recommendations from you lovely ladies would be appreciated, I can't wear matte shades, not sure why but they just don't look right on me so a bit of shimmer is a must! Got a wedding on Fri so I'd like a new toy before then! Off to work shortly so may treat myself to a bit of shopping on the way back - my basket was filled but not checked out also last night! It is the new MSE style shopping fix!!

    Cleanser is on my list of requirements too! The bottle I'm using ATM is the only full size one I've got (I think :o) and I'm not sold on it (its a Botanics one) so looking forward to trying something else.

    I am the same with matte stuff, I need a shimmer too! I know it's not a palette but I have worn this and thought it was a lovely neutral shade, I tend not to do neutrals but this a gorgeous colour for when I want to look natural or wear a strong lip colour. I will purchase again once it's used up......

    It looks darker online than in real life btw, have a look next time you're near a Boots x

    Wrote a blog post yesterday with pictures of all my recent empties including the shower gels I ended up using as handwash.

  • Just discovered I have 54 nail varnishes (not including base or top coat). Shuffles guiltily onto thread...
    I've got a huge stash and have been inspired by this thread as a lurker - now I'm declaring I am going to use this stuff up.
    One UU S&G Daily Smooth 250ml WBA when I can actually spend some money on this stuff!
    And I painted my nails pink with sparkles - they look a bit smartie like according to my little one!
