    hi all,still being good and not buying but shopping from my stash and using small gwp size items,went away for a weeks holiday in posh hotel so used their stuff and brought my own home again!
    sold some fake tan before I went and as well as the two tubes unopened I put an extra tube I had used a tiny amount from in for free,the buyer paid £5 so with post and fees I did not earn much and he did not even bother to give feedback!!!why do I bother?
    eye still not right but have to wait till Friday to see gp again :(

    That's the one! They very often have 40% off and free delivery, next time I spot it I'll be sure to give you all a [STRIKE]shout[/STRIKE] whisper. I didn't order any toiletries though, just oil for my aroma diffuser, they are lovely but I baulk at £4 each :o Sounds as though you got a proper bargain though Asset, plus you'll get 10% off future orders if I'm right?

    yes with the LYB card you get 10% off future orders online and instore, but TBH I will only use it for my birthday :p when you get a free £5 to spend instore :T

    Pluet - I think the BS send out the LYB cards separately but do contact them if they don't arrive. That's happened to me previously and the BS have refunded me for the cost of the card :D
    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 have a TA today:

    Babydoll Mascara by YSL : WNBA. This was just a sample and to be honest it was hurting my eyes. Plus I can't work with that plastic brush :(

    Oh I LOVE this! I got sent it as part of a top-reviewer thank you from Boots, it's the best one I've had. Mind you people say that about that Benefit They're Real and I HATED that with a vengeance!

    I love They're Real, I love how wet it is and how lashy my lashes are.

    I have placed a little order. My Korres Mint Tea body Milk only has a couple of uses left and I absolutely adore this so I have ordered 2 tubes and 2 bottles of the matching shower gel, I have also ordered the Urban Decay Naked2 eyeliner and an essie nail polish, I get a free goody bag with this and £10 worth of beauty club card points (Debenhams) so not a bad deal.

    UU – Aqueous Cream
    UU – No7 – Gentle Refreshing Exfoliator

    The exfoliator came in the same set that the moisturiser I finished yesterday came in. WBA but going to wait until I finish everything else and choose a favorite! Or just might see if the sets appear in the Xmas sales again :)

    Lavender black foaming bath bomb WNBA the scent had gone so only used to get rid of it.
    Honestly I'm not enabling, but Lush are bringing out a So White shower gel for Christmas...
    I know (but thank you), that is one of the products I am most looking forwards to. You are not be any chance a member of Lush forum are you?

    I may be on the naughty step for longer as finally lush are bringing out one of my most missed products so I will be buying this week if I get the chance.

    It doesn't look like I've used much up, but I have got through quite a few bottles since I started my stash list. The Kadus Imunal is currently spluttering and I'm aiming to use up some of the sachets this month. I'm getting there but have yet to find my holy grail shampoo.

    I've painted my nails tonight with OPI A Good Mandarin is Hard To Find - gosh it's bright! :cool: :D
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/
