A big welcome to all the new people.

I still have no UU

Fortunately I have 9 further ebay sales to keep the stash moving in the right direction.

However there are ins:

Flexitol heel balm - I have neglected my feet recently and they are in need of some TLC. This was bought on clearance.

Anne Sermonin mineral mask

Sunday Riley ceramic slip cleanser.

I use hemp cream from body shop on my hands. My hands are really bad so I've started using it on my feet too and it's great. Well worth a try!

Hi there

Was wondering if I could join in please?

I have been reading all your posts over the past couple of weeks and you all sound like a happy, chatty bunch. I have decided that I NEED to do something about the ridiculous amount of stuff that I have.

Have started to make a stash list but got fed up at number 204 and can't even remember buying half the things I pulled out the boxes! Oh the shame:eek:

Everybody seems so lovely here! Think this is the friendliest thread I ever saw. It's my favourite subject too!!

Welcome from another newbie x

Another UU that I am glad to see the back of from my PP list Olay Pore Minimising Cleanser and Scrub 150ml I'm long since over using any kind of gritty / drippy / foamy cleansers on my face and been using this one in the shower as a body wash. I once had the misfortune to get this in my mouth and vowed never to put it on my face again.

UU no 5&6

5. Ted baker body wash 50mls ok, but don't really like the scent. Came from sale stash, most likely have more in stash WNBA

6. Garnier body cocoon body lotion this was a LHJ but I persevered. Nice enough, mimimal fragrance and soaks in well. The bottle was between 6-8 yrs old and the product was still good so surprised at the longevity of it! More in stash but WPBA when needed

This made me laugh and nearly spat my tea all over :rotfl:

Happy Sunday Everyone and welcome to all the newbies joining in.

Oh the joys of the "lazy day" not had chance for one of these in a long time i foresee a bit of pampering, a bit of reading and watching movies with chocolate and ice cream and pop corn ... not all in the same bowl mind you:p.

2 UUs

Baylis & Harding Bath Milk 300ml WNBA but would use if gifted like this one was. Smells lovely in the bottle, bubbles ok but when you add the water...the smell vanishes (isn't bath milk not suppose to bubble?). It is also incredibly thick for a bath milk so its like one blob or two. Some of the supermarkets own brand ones for under a £1 do better than that.

Adidas shower gel WBA curtsey of the well trained boyfriend who now shows me empty packages so i can update the smellies book! It smelt quite nice. why do mens fragrances and shower gels all have more lingering smells then some of our female counterparts?

Hope you all have a great sunday

Happy Bubbles

A couple of weekend-y OUTs...
65 - Lush Ginger body lotion - gorgeous scent and really moisturing but lasted ages...and I don't think they make it anymore. Lol.
66 - Neal's Yard frankinsense facial oil sample - quite nice, but I find oils messy so probably wouldn't buy.

Hi ladies and welcome newbies.

Just a flying visit I'm afraid. Waving from the naughty step. So much for cold turkey!! Went shopping with Emma yesterday to get her a new swimming costume and jeans for her Iceland Trip the week after next.

Went into TK Maxx as it was next door to Next (shop selected for the swimming costume) and came out with bottle of Philosophy Homemade Honey Buns shower gel full size reduced to £7.99. Not the best bargain for this product I'm sure but I do love Philosophy and don't have any in my stash apart from the Peppermint Bark one on the go at the moment. I think I was quite restrained really as there were two of these on the shelf along with Gingerbread Cookie (my fave).

We also went into Boots and I got a tube of L'Oreal Exfotonic for Emma (she suffers from KP on her arms) from the clearance shelf down to £2.99 so pleased with this.

Another UU from PP list:-

30ml Elemis PCMC - HG - have three more in stash.

Hi ladies and welcome newbies.

No movement on the stash front although I did cut two tubes open yesterday so should have some uu soon. No ins of any kind so far this month.

Re straighteners - I have had a few pairs and the GHD's are the best ones but the Nicky Clarke ones I had before were also very good.

Had a horrible week and I'm really tired, so thinking of having a long hot soak in the tub, just working up the energy to go back up the stairs!

I did have an IN of another sort today. A few of you know I make and sell jewellery online. When networking I discovered a lovely last who makes beautiful wire wrapped pendants, bracelets and rings. Wire wrapping is completely beyond me at this stage, so I asked her to make a custom designed silver plated wire wrapped ring, with a peridot bead in the middle. Arrived today, and cost the princely sum of £10 including delivery, cannot stop looking at my finger and smiling

Hope everyone is having a good day despite the drippy weather.

Hope you're feeling better roguey and that you have been having a relaxing weekend. The ring sounds lovely, does the person who makes them have a website? Would love to have a look.

Slightly off topic but makeup related question. How often do you wash your makeup brushes and what do you use to clean them?

I try and wash mine every week but in reality it probably only happens once every 2-3 weeks. I just use whatever liquid soap I have on the go in the bathroom. Like the idea of adding tea tree oil to it as someone suggested. Think I have some in my stash somewhere.
