Mac eye bag in violet so ins of a paint pot, fluid line eyeliner, the new extreme mascara and a brush. this is brilliant value and I've completely fallen in love with the paint pot! my mums bought herself the exact same set too, my dad thought we were crackers! :rotfl:

Which paint pot did you get? I'm wearing Bare Study today and it is so pretty and I would really like Painterly too.

Welcome Clutterfree.

Welcome Clutterfree.

its called Frozen Violet but its completely different in real life to how it looks on the website!

i have Painterly, i love it! i use it either as a base or on its own as a nude. I've got Blackground as well, i use that to do a super quick smokey eye, got it after i saw Lisa Eldridge use it to do that in one of her videos.

Ladies, I'm off for a long weekend… in Disneyland! It's mine and my boyfriend's second anniversary on Monday, so we're having a bit of an adventure this weekend…

I thought I might have some INs of travel sized bits, but I've made do, so nothing to report. I wish I could say the same about clothes, though, haha!

See you all on Monday! Happy using up!

Have a lovely time. Say Hi to Mickey for me. You did well too not investing in travel items.

Hi,
I've been lurking on this thread for a while and may have to take the plunge and join soon.
May take me a while to compile my list though.
Also, I'm expecting two deliveries this week - Glamour Box and an order from Cult Beauty (£10 off £80 spend, code on other board but ends today), couldn't resist as one of the items is a HG so that's my excuse for stocking up!

Hmmm, think I buy more than I use up. Help!

Welcome Clutterfree. Don't worry about making a list first - join now! x

Another UU ladies. The 200ml tub of TBS Honeymania body butter has gone. WBA but not for a while. Went into stash to replace this and still have full gift set of 5 x 50ml Boots Extracts body butters (opened the honey one today) and 2 x 200ml TBS body butters in Almond and Raspberry.

Thought I would have UUed this up earlier after my shower but once I had applied it all over there was only product left around the rim at the bottom but couldn't apply anymore as it would not have absorbed. Have just had a bath since getting in out of the rain and finished it off although this amount only covered my arms hence why I opened the other honey one in my stash. Needed a bath too as I have been so achy yesterday and today. May be a bit TMI but I had a smear test yesterday that has left me feeling really sore and achy. Not good. We went into Manchester last night to watch the lights switch on but came home after eating out as it was so wet and I felt so grotty.

This means I'm half way through my PP list. The next item to go, I think will be the Clinique moisturiser.

Flying through the boards so apologies for all the people I've missed out!

Have a good time at Disneyland TheOxfordOwl!

Oh how lovely that Martha Hill is still around, I used to buy their products back in the late 70's (yes I am that old:rotfl:) I will have a look over there.

Thanks for that, I like the look of those products so I've put them on my wish list

I do love that other people are considering binning items! I have a Tigi hairspray that's a serious LHJ, it's getting on my nerves, as is trying to use it up! I've been resisiting the urge to chuck it for well over a year now :eek:

Ooo I nearly bought this earlier. I really like the BS body butters, but always find the scent can be a bit strong when you apply them all over. Was this one quite a strong scent? (It's really hard to tell with the ones in the shops, as they've been sitting open so long)

There's an offer at Lloyds Pharmacy for 6 items for £5, 8% TCB so effectively £4.60 not needing anything but still looking.
Looking at it why are bath creams almost the same volume again for the same price as shower gel, ie 500ml bath against 300ml of shower. Just thinking I could decant bath cream into an old shower gel pump bottle I've got and use it that way

Couple of unexpected ins today - got a huge box via Super savvy me and P&G with Olay 7 in 1 moisturiser plus serum and a Pantene serum shampoo (as well as fabric softener, toothpaste and towels). Bonus - I was short (ok had less) in my stash of these.
Also bought Marie Claire for the Rituals scrub - I can't give in to scaly winter skin.
Just started Beauty Bible teasing and am using a serum which is solo expensive - hoping for good things!
No UU yet - but hoping to see the end of the moisturiser this weekend.

Thanks!
Tbh my stash is bigger than ever.
My step-mum died last year so I inherited her stash too! Bless her she had loads. I shared it with my sister-in-law and niece but still have lots to get through. Determined to do it though as it saddens me that she had all these things and never got the time to use them. I feel I owe it to her not to let them gather dust if that makes sense.
Don't misunderstand me, I am a hoarder too (don't let my user name fool you!) and I have my own stash to contend with as well!

Still want to do a list though.

Where is this offer? I can't find it anywhere on the site
