    Pure Grace Body Lotion - love the smell but think it is quite expensive and have more in my stash anyway. :o

    Anais Anais perfume sample - took me back to the 80s when it was the perfume for teenage girls, WNBA though!

    Dove intensive hair conditioner - WMBA, was fine, did what it needed to do, not a HG product but would buy if on offer and I needed conditioner.

    So sorry to hear your sad news girly bags - thinking of you.



    Maddiemay - I have these in my helmer:

    http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/50043573/

    They do fit but it is quite a tight fit. I got the idea to use these from lots of beauty bloggers. I use them to divide up my make up e.g. eyeliners in one compartment, eyeshadows in another etc.

    It looks like you can't order them online though :( I live really near an Ikea and would be happy to pop in and get some for you if you want them.

    :eek: I want the Elemis TSV! I have never tried any Elemis products before. Feeling pretty fed up at the moment which is never good for my purse :eek:

    I ordered my Helmer earlier, it should be here in about 10 days, I may well contact you re your kind offer then, if you are sure that it would not be too much trouble:A

    Sorry that you are feeling fed up, I hope that things improve for you very soon:)

    :TI managed to resist the TSV in the end. Went through it product by product and decided the only one I really really want more of is the cleansing balm- so I will just buy a full size one when I have whittled down my stash.

    One in. Totally needed - I have been wanting to try a peach blusher for ages so I bought a MUA one for £1. If It doesn't suit me my friends daughter can have it. If it does I'll replace it with a better quality one


    So on Balence I have been pretty good.


    Now I have an etiquette dilemma now. My glossy box should arrive in next day or so. Should I post about my ins or leave it rather than inadvertently leave a spoiler for someone else. My love me beauty is also due to arrive:T:T:T. To excited !!

    I will have a tan accelerator avail to a good home as I caved this morning on the way to work and it's not something I can ever imagine using being of the so pale I'm blue type of Scottish lol

    I am not really a sunbather, but if the weather is nice I do like to sit and enjoy my garden and would love to have a bit of colour on my legs. When you decide if you are e-baying it or whatever, please let me know by PM please:)

    I hope that you enjoy your Elemis, there are several items that I really love. After a day planting and weeding, I have just had a lovely bath with Epsom Salts and Elemis Quiet Mind Bath soak, PJ's on and hope to wake tomorrow without any aches and pains.

    Hi All,

    Sorry to hear of your awful day girly bags.

    After a lovely, well timed week off work, I'm starting to get a bit of a case of the Sunday Night Blues :( Going to try and stave it off with a nice soak in the bath and might get a UU in to boot.

    Who's joining me on the naughty step.... :o I've ordered the Elemis TSV, my defence is as follows, I've never tried PCMC and REALLY want to, also intrigued by the Bliss capsules, I love the flash balm and the shower cream. The only thing I know I don't like is the cleansing balm so that'll be ebayed as possibly will the tan accelerator, due to OHs training period for his new job we're not able to go away until at least Oct :eek:
  • I have ins and outs and shake it all abouts :o

    My ins:

    4x Estee lauder face items
    5x Estee lauder make up items
    2x Estee lauder perfume samples

    I needed the 2 make up things and got the rest free

    i also picked up a L'occitane hand cream and 8 days of face cream but they are for my mum.

    I also need to buy some MUA and Pixi stuff but it's always out of stock :(

    Off to the naughty step

    will report my outs later x

    Posted in two parts as on my phone and was convinced I was about to lose previous post. It's not all bad and I'll declare the Elemis stuff properly when it arrives and I decide exactly what I'm keeping. I've two new UU, Bomb Cosmetics Rose Bath Creamer - WBA - last and nicest one of the box, no scent to speak of but moisturising and the bath water looked so nice with all the floating petals that were surprisingly easy to clean up afterwards. Just had another, Next Just Red Bath Crystals, an original stash item :T WNBA did nothing at all but that could be due to their age... I'm getting through lots more bath products now I've a nicer bathroom to enjoy :D

    Hello all :wave:

    girlybags - I'm so terribly sorry to hear about your awful day. My thoughts are with you.

    I haven't posted on here for ages as I have neither had any INs, nor any UUs/OUTs. :( However, I thought I'd better "check in" so you know I'm around.

    I did spend too long today in Molton Brown, but managed to resist. My smellies are all LHJs and I can't really afford to add to the long old list!

    Hopefully I'll be back at some point with some UUs. :o

    1 UU - Nivea Pearl (I think :o) roll on deodorant, liked it so WMBA - I 'bought' it a couple of years ago during the wonderful days of T*sco DTD :p so that tells you how long I've had it. I didn't like that it was in a glass bottle though :(
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I take it you got your JL GWP then, tiffanyjayne?

    For reference, here is the stuff I got for nowt. See the bag? I have packed ALL my makeup and ALL my skincare for our holiday into that bag. I realise we're only going for five days but even if it'd been a fortnight, I could've squeezed it all in. Feeling very chuffed with myself as I would usually take 4 times that amount, just in case :o

    Alarm is set for 3.30am, I'll be back on Friday, hopefully with a few OUTS to report. Have a good week, all :cool: xx
