    Welcome newbies.

    Inapickle - boo to dropping your foundation, it would have to be a pricey one wouldn't it?

    No stash movement to report, no ins which is good though.

    I now have a horrible itchy rash all around my chin and jawline after using my Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator on Friday evening. 6tmwip.gif
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
  • Does anyone know how products with good names sell on eBay? I am thinking of listing the gift sets I have on eBay to make some money to pay off the credit card. I am quite experienced at eBay, but just never sold beauty / perfume products?
  • I will continue to count my stash today, and post numbers in my signature when I'm done. However, I have my first UU to announce!

    UU: L'oreal elvive nutri-gloss shine conditioner.
    WMBA - I've been using it for a while (finished the shampoo before Christmas) - my hair tends to get used to shampoos and conditioners and doesn't seen as shiny after a while - so WMBA again but not for a while. Got Aussie volume conditioner in the stash to use now :-)

    I've been following some L'Occitane gift sets on eBay and they seem to sell, but for less than the initial cost. No bad thing as that's why people buy on there. I was considering putting a shower gel set on there but there are too many at the moment! ;)

    Another UU to report from my PP list :j :j

    Sanctuary Body Scrub 50ml - WNBA. It's good, but I like to exfoliate with a buffer. This was a gift, but a nice one!

    Now I just seem to have the larger products left on my PP list. :)

    Just be aware that you cannot courier any aerosols or flammable perfumes. Royal Mail will transport these but only within the UK and they have to have a special label on, this applies to nail varnish and non-flammable perfume as well, hth.

    One UU - FCUK Shower Gel 75ml. WMBA but have far too much shower gel. This came from Boots 75% off sale last year, along with a diary, perfume and body cream. I still have the perfume and did have the body cream but the latter seems to have disappeared. I have had to add 2 items to the stash list - I didn't buy them but found them when I was tidying p. So, I have yet another lip gloss and a lip balm.

    I've now got a basket of products in the living room that I started on a while ago and want to use up - mainly perfume, hand creams and body lotions. Definitely not starting any new ones until they're used up.

    Afternoon ladies. Hope everyone is having a good weekend. Just been catching up on the thread.

    Sorry to hear that your date evening wasn't great kadison. Would love to see your nail varnish and other stash pics! Like the idea of rotating perfumes too.

    Can't remember who said about the Benefit mascara now. I really like it but prefer it once it has dried out a bit IYKWIM.

    Oh no that's rubbish about dropping your foundation In a Pickle!! Hope your skin is feeling better soon Babafette.

    I too am saving for a holiday, think I am going to give my partner my savings though so that I can't spend them :rotfl: As I said before, I buy things that I think that I really want and then leave them in the shopping bag for weeks. I just seem to have the need to own 'stuff' which I am really trying to stop.

    Committed a beauty mouth sin today :eek: was looking at my skin in natural light when the sun was out earlier (which has been such a rarity recently!) and could see loads of horrible blackheads. Went in to boots and bought some of those strips to get rid of them. Couldn't believe how expensive they were, I haven't bought or used any for years. Was so satisfying to see all the blackheads on the strip afterwards (sorry TMI) :rotfl: Not going to start using them regularly though.

    I need to report all my recent INS but keep avoiding it! When I went in Boots earlier I did manage to only come out with things that I actually need which was very restrained! As someone said earlier, my heart starts pounding whenever I am in Boots or any beauty shop :o

    Have got quite a few splutterers but they having been spluttering for ages :mad:

    Twisted Cherry, if there is something I want to sell I usually do an advanced search for it and tick the "completed listings". Then I can see how much they sold for, if they DO sell and if it is worth my time to list them. Some things go for so little it's not worth my time taking photos, etc.

    Welcome to all newbies!

    Well I've placed my first order since I've been on this thread.:o

    Latest in Beauty have free delivery this weekend and I've always wanted to try Aromotherapy Associates bath oil and they have a teeny sample for £1.50 so I thought now was the time to order it. Unfortunately, another 4 items accidently fell into my basket...:whistle: All sample sizes, though so not too bad.

    Will declare them as INs when they arrive.

    No UUs this weekend, but my Hydraluron is spluttering. :(. I don't like my HG products ending! :p
    :heart: Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.
