What do you guys do with eyeshadows that don't suit you or you don't like so much? Trying to use a few up but its hard when you'd rather wear something that suits you much better

I have tried using some on my nails (i.e. brushing glitter eyeshadow on top of semi-dry nail polish and coating with clear when dry to get a shimmery gradient effect), but can you think of any other way of using them?

The colour's are a metallic green, an aqua blue, a metal grey and a glittery black. Also as a side note I can't give them away because they are part of palettes with colours I do use.

I would try the black and the grey as eyeliners, just smudge in with an angled brush.

i think that all of it.
i havent bothered counting the toothpaste & mouth wash products as they are essentials

It wasn't showing but when I quoted you it came up - weird.

mrs-moneypenny

thanks
i thought something was strange dolly when i posted it was missing so i went for a search and found it in the feb thread so i moved it over.
would have been gutted if id had to type it all out again.

1 UU, Superdrug heat defence spray.

This would have been the perfect time to go through the items that I missed when I tallied up my stash, but I am lazy, so I am going to ignore the problem!

The first request is not that rare I don't think. I've had other people ask if they can Buy now. The second one though is I think. If you don't want neutral (perceived as negative) feedback don't send someone a book with stains on it. Your feedback was true so what do they want?

And re: clothes challenge er, maybe you should!! :rotfl:

I have now ordered the Balance N Brighten. However dilemma part duex : the last pot I had was Fair coloured which I found a little too light sometimes. The Fair option is on Advanced Orders being shipped on 24 March! I can't wait that long as my pot is practically empty however this would have fit my financial situation better. I decided to order the Medium as I'm sure I've had Regular in the past too. This option however is in stock now. Such is life eh? You watch it will arrive and make me look orange so I'll have to return it and wait until 24 March anyway.

Argh!
Wish I'd read this earlier as I've some Fair that I need to ebay.
I used to wear it but it was a tad dark for me so now I use Porcelain.
The ones I need to ebay would also be on the darker side of Fair because I would always use the lighter ones first if that makes sense.

If it's on Advanced Orders now might be a good time for me to list...

Save some for hallowe'en, I know it's a while away but you can make amazing bruises with black and green lol!

I want 3 bathrooms - I've only got one and it's tiny. There isn't even a bath in there any more, just a walk in shower.

Gosh- you wouldnt want 3 and 4 loos if you had to clean them!

mrs-moneypenny

pleasedelete, must say loved your very inspirational post about your stash and how you minimised it down.

i wanted an extra bathroom/loo when mine were little but as they are now old enough to start leaving home i think ill just carry on cleaning the one as well.
5 smalls and one toilet/bathroom was hard work

Babafette

Another shower and the PP shampoo still splutters on. There must surely be only one wash left now so I'm hopeful of a use up tomorrow.

I tried my new Foamburst Sweet Vanilla & Cherry Blossom Luxurious Body Wash yesterday and I must admit, I was a little disappointed with the scent. I prefer my original Delight version, 13 years old or not! :rotfl:

I'm very sorry for being a bad influence! I've always been one to live vicariously but I concede, this probably isn't the best place to indulge.

'Scuse me while I put myself into time out on the naughty step

well, my mother always used to say 'if your friend told you to put your hand in the fire, then would you?'

On that basis, I have to take responsibility for my actions and you are hereby excused from the naughty step (thanks for keeping it warm for me!)
