  • No sooner have I posted this, than I look over to my bedside table and spot that I already have a bottle of back-up shampoo here! Oh well! I need to have a root round to see what else is here to take back with me. I won't declare it IN, as I don't really have a stash list in that sense.

    Welcome Cakeadoodle! :T

    Just a quick post to wish everyone a very merry Christmas.
    Hope you all have a lovely day tomorrow and Father Christmas brings you something lovely.

    Must dash as I still have a sticky toffee pudding to make for tomorrow.

    Welcome cakeadoodle!

    What was I saying about sale temptation?! I succumbed to Boots for more of the Philosophy Purity, but was otherwise very restrained!

    We've just finished all our food prep for tomorrow after Christingle service at our church and I'm now feeling relaxed and super festive!

    Hope everyone has a wonderful day tomorrow - Merry Christmas! xxx

    After painting my nails ready for tomorrow (Essie Leading Lady - a red glitter, with CG I'm Not Lion - a gold toned holographic microglitter) I have another UU:

    Orly Bonder - Loved using this as a base coat. WBA but I have Nails Inc Kensington Caviar base coat to use first and then I want to try CND Sticky as well.

    Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas! :xmastree:

    Thanks for the kind thoughts and words ladies. I am feeling a weight has been lifted about work and I have made some plans to visit my best friend next year.

    Rosemary - how sad. This time of year is awful for hearing stories like that.

    As planned, I did have a rake through my stash and has binned the really old stuff. Did have a few :eek: moments when I thought back to when I had bought them.

    Bliss Sleeping Peel Mask
    Molton Brown Snowclay Mask 75ml (9 years old :eek:)
    Clinique Superfit Neutral Foundation x 2 (1 is ½ full) 6years old
    Clinique Sweet Nothing Eye shadow
    Clinique Blackberry frost Eye shadow
    Clinique Mystic/whisper Eye shadow
    Clinique Quickliner Really Black
    Elle Macpherson Pulse Point 8ml x 2
    Oasis Body Spray
    Clinique Self Tan for the face

    That has freed up some space for some goodies arriving shortly...heheheh.

    Might not get a chance to get on here tomorrow so

    :xmassign: Happy Christmas Everyone.

    Can't wait to read all of your haul in the sales and your lovely gifts.

    Ha, ha. I still have a Lush Buffy the Backside Slayer untouched in my stash which is ten years old. I even remember buying it in the Covent Garden store - I was with my brother and we thought the name was hilarious. I just never got around to using it! :rotfl:

    Wishing everyone a fabulous Christmas hope you all have a wonderful time.

    Quite a few of my presents look like they may be toiletries so will be back to declare soon.

  • Given that tomorrow is Christmas day, and there is the certainty of gifts containing smellies, I shall gather everything together over the Christmas break and make a list.

    It occurred to me yesterday that I've never finished a nail polish or eyeshadow. I can't bear to throw things out that are unfinished so there is a decades worth of half used cosmetics lurking in my huge stash. I just can't bring myself to bin these, even though there are probably all sorts of bacteria hanging about those little pots. :eek:

    Is there a name for this inability to discard half used cosmetics?

    Thanks all for the warm welcome. Looking forward to getting started! A merry Christmas to you all :beer:
