I got this set for my birthday in Jan. Have already UU the vanilla cake mix shower gel and the pecan scrub. Not started the lotion yet as have had another one on the go. Really loved the shower gel though, will be buying a full sized one once the stash has gone down a bit!

I have this set too! I haven't used any of the toiletries yet but ousted them from the tin so I could use it for my bath bombs!

I need help.

I fell into the flash sale on a certain nail polish site (my favourite brand)......£120 and 37 polishes later :eek:

Mind you 2 are duplicates of ones I have already (they're in sets) so they will be going on ebay.

Kadison, is it bad that you're comment has made me feel better! Tbf if you divide the 120 by 37 then the price per polish is tiny (this is how I make myself feel better haha! xxx

On phone so difficult to quote but with all this spending going on I don't feel half as bad about my over-exuberant spending this month .

All us naughty-steppers should pledge not to spend in April (I know I'd most probably fail at this though)

The single nail polish I just bought on e-bay is rather tame by your standards:rotfl::rotfl: Whose polishes have you been buying? nosy moi? surely not:D

Just received an e-mail to say that an order for Alpha-H that was on wait list has been despatched, so my very rosy figures for March will be rising by 3:o

An unexpected UU from tonight
Lush Prince Charming 500g WBA, hopefully they bring it out again for next Valentines day as it has a really nice fragrance.
On to some not so exciting shower gels now to get them out the stash, then will start another "nice" one again - maybe philosophy gingerbread cookie.


17 UU's and only 3 IN's for March, I think I'm doing pretty good so far!! Although I will have some Lush IN's this weekend, I am down to my last bath bomb in the stash, and it would just be rude not to pick up some of the Easter and Mother's Day stuff while I'm in there as well!

been away for a couple of days break this week so have just spent the last half hour catching up with the thread.
All this talk of SPF has got me thinking, I always wear moisturiser with at least SPF15 all year round, although maybe in the summer if it's very sunny might put a higher amount on.
Should I actually be looking at something with a higher factor?

I'm amazed at the number of moisturisers on sale with out any SPF in it.

Hey! Just popping in quickly today -

1 UU -

Fudge 1 Shot Hair Rehab 25ml - This was a stash relic and had more thanone shot!! I bought this on a whim from a proper hairdressers years ago, given it's been 3 years since I starting using a mobile hairdresser I really doubt this is even still being sold, on that basis, WNBA

and 2 INS

Boots essentials fragrance free moisturising lotion £0.99 - I've been using up the posh stuff recently, which is lovely, but sometimes my skin needs to properly go back to basics and have a break. Oh and I like using things up in sets, so this should see me through the current facewash before I embark on my next set, especially as I have a nutrigenics wash/toner without a moisturiser that goes with it next on the list. This way I don't spend money on a TBS one until I clear the stash!

Oh it makes sense in my head!

and the second IN -

Boots Vitamin E gentle eye cream £1.69 Honestly? This was just to take me over £20 so I could get the extra 200 AVP, (rest of my B**ts shop was an electric toothbrush, so not toiletries) so technically free, I don't have a stash of this, just an essentials one in use and a few avon sachets, and I'm working my way up from the cheapest until I find one that I REALLY like. this one is meant to be anti fine line/dark circle too, let's hope it works!

This was really useful for me http://www.carolinehirons.com/2013/04/spf-cheat-sheet.html and I think I agree with what she says! I use a separate la Roche posay SPF that is 50+ because even though I'm olive skinned and never get sunburn (even on a beach in Dubai with only SPF 15 on!) I'm quite paranoid because I sit on a bus everyday which is really sunny! Personally I don't like the texture of moisturisers with SPF so I'll just keep layering both

UU

Indeed Labs Hydraluron - not sure whether this is doing anything but it feels lovely to use.

Garnier soothing 2 in 1 make up remover - HG have more in the stash but I am really loving the micellar water at the moment.

Lush cinders bath bomb - WBA like the crackling and the fragrance

10ml L'occitane shea butter hand cream - WBA HG

More ebay outs mainly in the form of unwanted parts of GWP.


I dont have great lashes but struggle with smudging mascara the only one that doesnt smudge is Clinique Lash Power but unfortunately it doesnt give my lashes the oomph they need - any recommendations for a tubing mascara that gives volume and length?
