    Thankyou Babafette and Dolly84, I'm hoping that it will make her feel a little bit spoiled (in a good way), her family is having some real financial troubles and I would have sent a small cheque if I thought she would've banked it, but this seemed like a nice alternative to let her know I was thinking of her. She loves nature and is always out and about with her camera so I thought the Baby Lips and the tube of body cream could keep her company while she's scrabbling around in the mud :)
  • another UU for me Radox passion fruit shower gel
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
  • VALM - I was watching the following - but I have only watched the forst episode of season 2 so far.

    UU

    Lush Christmas pudding bath bomb - WNBA amazing colour but not smell.

    Sure Max protection cream deo - HG WBA have replaced with same.

    400ml Herbal essences dazzling shine - this was bought before the repackaging with a points offer from boots where they effectively paid me to take it away. However I have since developed a sulphate allergy so this was used up on DD's hair. WNBA.

    Wilkinson sword razors - DH uses these - have another pack in the stash.
    No more buying toiletries
  • I've got a few INs to report today: Oral B dental tape x 2, Tesco Shave Gel, Sure Men Invisible Ice Anti-perspirant x2, Sure Women Cool Pink x2. These are all essentials and things I wanted to stock up on.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    Just another thought - nothing to do with toiletries, but related and I'm sure it will make some of you smile.

    Do you have the same hoarding problem with pens, pencils and notepads? I might not have as many toiletries as some of you but I bet I could beat you hands down on my stationery stash :)

    I have a stationary hoarding issue - even as a child I loved shopping and getting stationary. Still haven't outgrown this ;)

    Feel better soon Dolly.

    I have another UU - Gillette Shave Gel. WNBA - I am converted to shave oil instead. My shins tend to get really dry and itchy after shaving, even moisturising afterwards, but changing to the oil has really helped.

    My eye cream is spluttering so I will need to get a replacement.

    My stash list has 870 products in it......I am disgraced! I could practically open a shop on that!

    And yet I still browse all the toiletry aisles 'just in case' I'm missing out on something :/

    I don't have a candle obsession or a stationery obsession (although I did used to collect pens as a kid) But I do have an obsession with toiletries/beauty products, shoes and cereal bars, randomly!

    A few splutterers, but no UU or IN's yet.

    Painted my fingernails Zoya Stevie from the Pixie Dust range (liquid sand type) it is a greyed lilac with lots of fine silver sparkles, toenails in need of painting, but need an early night so won't happen tonight.

    Which leads me to a question - can anyone recommend a matte topcoat which will make the polish last longer? I used Nail Envy Matte today, but it is a bit expensive to use all the time. I have been searching internet, but can only find the mattes which make gloss finishes matte, and the ones I found did not seem to offer any protection from chips.

    The Rimmel Pro Matte Finish Topcoat is good, but I'm not sure if it's been discontinued now.
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
