    Morning all!

    Clicked on the QVC Christmas weekend items and wondered if this would interest any of you?

    http://www.qvcuk.com/Tabletop-Spinning-Cosmetic-Organiser-by-Lori-Greiner.product.759257.html

    I would love one if it were big enough for all my various bottles as opposed to one for cosmetics as my make-up is already nicely organised.

    I also use this inside one of my dresser drawers for things like nail files, hair grips etc....(mine's hot pink though)

    http://www.lakeland.co.uk/23757/8-Piece-Interlocking-Bin-Set-Green

    What do other people store their stuff in? My bathroom stuff is in a plastic 4-drawer unit and my 'not yet in use' stuff is in those black and grey folding crates.

    I have 8 OUTs to report (which I'm just deleting from my stash list as they were only INs a couple of weeks ago!). As predicted, useless Debenhams never sent my free gift and still haven't responded to my e-mails so they are having the two Lancome sets back!

    2 x Lancôme Advanced Genifique Serum 7ml
    2 x Lancôme Dreamtone - Fair 01 40ml
    2 x Lancôme Genifique Eye Light Pearl 5ml
    2 x Lancôme Visionnaire Serum 7ml

    I hardly needed them but it was a good deal, never mind, they can have them back with good riddance, can't believe how carp Debenhams are! :eek:

    And some more UUs.....

    Dentyl Mouthwash Icy Fresh Mint 500ml - HG brand
    Nad's Eyebrow shaper pen 6g - WBA if on half price offer again, very easy to use and convenient
    Nad's Nose wax 45g - Horrid, evil stuff, looking back I don't know why I bothered buying this and I won't EVER AGAIN! Expensive and so difficult to use.
    National Trust Body Scrub - Rock Samphire & Driftwood 250ml - WNBA, not scrubby enough
    Philosophy The Microdelivery Face Scrub 30ml - Very underwhelming, granules too small and didn't do anything much.
    The Body Shop Natural Lip Roll On Mint 10ml - Doesn't moisturise and wears off very quickly so WNBA, nice flavour though!
    Veet Spray on hair removal cream 150ml x 2 - HG, expensive but one can does my entire legs & bikini line in about 15 minutes from applying to showering off which is just brill :D

    How annoying about your Debenhams stuff. I got the Lancôme GWP with my order but I know from experience that they are lacking in customer service, I ordered something a while back which was supposed to come with a trial size and then if you don't like it you can return the full size. The trial size never arrived so I rang and they said go into the store and ask at the counter, I never did because I know for a fact the counter would say sorry we can't help. Post your unhappiness on the facebook page for the Beauty Club Card and see if you get a response.

    Afternoon all!

    I'm off to Brizzle (Bristol) later on for an overnighter, I'm going to a match.com night and it's an hour away plus I'll be drinking. I am tempted to take my serious LHJ hairspray and 'accidentally' leave it in the hotel room..... :rotfl:.

    Ahh wish id seen this before, you could have popped in for a cup of tea/take some toiletries away with you :D

    I have sinned. I bought the Body Shop advent calendar. I did get it half price and all the travel sizes will be used on weekend aways. I also bought the Yankee Candle one because it was so festive looking. I am a naughty girl and will now go and sit in the corner.

    Sitting on hands-I so want the Yankee candle advent calendar!

    VALM/Babafette -

    LIB Glamour Beauty Box - I resisted for a while but I love the Balance Me roll on and that is £15 alone, also a fan of the Benefit mascara (except removing it) and the HD Brows kit looked so nice so I gave in, I also added a Dr Nick Lowe cleanser and the L'occ shampoo and conditioner minis.

    I'm trying to resist as I love the look of the eye palette and roll on....
    No ins so far this month, must stay strong!!

    I'm off to my very first craft fair today, selling my jewellery. Am very nervous, hoping to make a few good sales before the end of the month

    75ml stella body lotion - I went on to use the last one of these 'candles' - whilst happy to use it again if gifted WNBA.

    Boots cotton wool pads - WBA

    Mouthwash

    Ins

    Love me beauty box - 5

    2 mouthwash

    Rose bath salts - these were a birthday gift - I didnt know they still made bath salts!

    I have been using a La roche posay toner and I stupidly used it on my eye region - it has dried my eyelids out and left them red and sore - not a good look and will probably only get worse as I think the skin will peel. Think ive gained the idiot of the month award.
    No more buying toiletries

    Not sure but I would just post anyway, they usually come back asking for your order number and not the club card number.


    DD has gone to Leeds today with her best friend and her mum, they are going to Trinity Walk, the German market, lunch and later coffee and cakes, I am a bit jealous.

    I have ins

    Essie Winter Collection - too gorgeous for me to leave there.
    Too Faced Boudoir Eyes - I have been coveting this for ages, I love these palettes. Paid for both with points.

    Also have a uu

    Bare Minerals Original in Fair - this is a bit pale for me as I actually buy it to mix with other colours but I did use some of this on its own. WBA and already have.

    I had no idea you couldn't use toner on the eye area - I don't use toner. I'm sure it would be all too easy to dab it across your eyes without thinking, as you did the rest of your face. :eek:

    There was toner in a Simple set I gifted to my grand-daughter last month; bit worried now, hope she reads the bottle, though Simple is very gentle stuff.

    My son's (and my) good friends have set up as a seller of 'all things, fizzy, bubbling and pampering' , just local markets for now - but watch this space.
    If you look on FB for 'The Funky Mermaid' (love the name!) you will discover them. :D

    Roguey - hope the craft fair is profitable for you.

    Re toner - I always swipe it across my eye area and have never had any problems.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    In: 3 x face powder. Needed one but they were on 3 for 2 so stocked up.

    Also bought anti perspirant but that was definitely a necessity so not counting that. ;)

    Out: 2 x face powder which had both broken up and were just little bits of clumped powder clinging to the edges.
