  • Well that's Monday done and dusted:) Boring UU here of Timotei Vivid Colour Conditioner. BF is off to States on Friday and I've been reminding him how much I love Bath and Bodyworks. I sure don't need any more shower gel and moisturiser but Im relaly hoping I get some more lol:D

    Jumping into the lipstick debate, I LOVE lippy but hardly ever wear it, I never feel I can smile confidently in case there's a tonne of it on my teeth (there often is due to the shape of my lips/teeth) :(

    Still haven't been out for the Mac lippy yet. And I have 2 x ins: 2 x 100mls of liquid gold. I've just started using a trial of this and finding its having an amazing effect and I'm sure that lot will last me an age. Still never found my 200ml pot of EH either and had to buy a 50mls pot. At the moment I'm using stuff I'm used to using as don't want problem wedding skin but soon as that is done and dusted I will be trying a lot more out from my stash. Kind of feel like I need to do a new stash list for next month but I also remember it's a long haul task lol.

    Hello, I hope you don't mind me joining you all. I used to post in here and it was always helpful to keep me on top of my stash. I now need to get on top of it once again and realise what I have before buying anything else, as I'm on my final push now before buying my first home, so any extra money saved is a big bonus :)

    Hi ALJA :hello:

    It's amazing how much cash you can save by using what you already have rather than buying all the tempting new products, I've surprised myself by how much lower my credit card bills are each month due to very rarely having to pop into Boots/Superdrug etc - and have gotten to the point where I don't really miss it either! Good luck :)

    I have UUs:

    15/255. Joico K-Pak Revitaluxe Bio-Advanced Restorative Treatment 50ml - as with the matching S&C probably WNBA simply as it's pretty pricey fow aht it does, but I got this on an amazing deal so WBA if on a good sale again. Left my hair feeling soft and sleek.

    16/256. Sanctuary Mande Lular Body Souffle 1200ml - HG and WDBA once current stash is gone - still have another 20 odd to get through!

    17/257. Philosophy Purity Made Simple 3-in-1 Cleanser 30ml - WDBA, love this for my morning cleanse as it seems to clean well without drying, and hoping to get some of the 90ml bottles in the sales again. I have a 90ml still in use which should see me through until then.

    Fear not there is a tip for that, once you have applied your lipstick, put your little finger in your mouth and pull it out slowly and all the lipstick that would have shown on your teeth will come off on your finger, sounds gross but it works.

    Thank you :) I am hoping it will make a good difference in what I can save up, as I am a sucker for offers and I often end up with items I don't need. I've been at home today, so I've started putting aside a few products I wish to use up.


    I have one UU already - Montagne Jeunesse Amore Rose face mask. Just looked this up and it's specifically made for darker skin tones - didn't know that until now & I have quite pale skin. However, it seemed to do a lovely job on my skin. Would happily use it again.

    I know the trick but it doesn't seem to work for me :( Oh well! :o
