lush cinders bath bomb- not so sure about this one. Bit of a let down reallly.

Ysl babydoll mascara 3ml. WDBG. Not as natural looking as my estee lauder but loved the way it made my lashes look.

I bought one of those Cinders bath bombs in the sale and was not impressed either. The colour of the bath water was awful. I ended up chucking the last of my Elemis Lime and Ginger shower gel in to make bubbles.


Love YSL Babydoll and am using this in brown for work. When it's gone though I'll replace for another brown mascara but will see whether there are any offers on for the YSL one.

3. Bomb cosmetics bath bomb - WBA.very like lush but cheaper and I can use amazon vouchers to buy

I was given some of these for Christmas. Glad to see that they are like Lush as I was a bit apprehensive about using them.

I painted my nails last night in Liz Earle Ebb Tide - a lovely taupey grey with a lavender tone, I topped it off with Leighton Denny's Angel Dust which is a very subtle silver shimmer.

This sounds lovely. I went into my nail colour stash the other night and pulled out all my glitters. Am wearing OPI Espresso Your Style with Sparklicious on top. Only problem is I put Glitter Off base coat on and it's all chipping off in big chunks!! Will have to repaint tonight.

OK have caught up with the thread now. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Saw The Hobbit yesterday and loved it. Bit sad that it's all over. Funny, as I didn't like LOTR and only watched the first Hobbit film under sufferance but still was well worth watching.


Another UU from this morning:-


3. Baylis & Harding Sweet Mandarin & Grapefruit body lotion 100ml WNB. Have not said WNBA as this was given to me as a gift for my birthday last year. Came in a kit with shower gel (used previously) and soap (still in stash). Awful product that had no fragrance and the lotion felt like it was full of mineral oil. So glad that it has gone.


Have a couple of Elemis body oils on the go at the moment so probably won't pull any more lotion out of the stash for now but need to be more vigilant at moisturising as I've let it go and my skin if feeling quite dry now.


Two INs too:-


Tresemme 24hour body shampoo and conditioner - the big sizes - this particular hair type was reduced to £2.50 each in Sainsburys so it seemed rude not to. Will try to keep them until we've used up some of the freebie shampoos/conditioners in my stash though.

Wow - some people have a HUGE amount of stuff!!

I ca be a sucker for shower gels - I have about 4 on the go at the moment but the Original Source ones are only £1 at Sainsbury's so I did buy a couple :eek:

I have some nice minis that I keep for when I go away but I think i'm usually pretty good. I tend to buy my Frizz Ease products when they are on offer as they are very expensive.

I will be going to John Lewis art some point to stock up on my Clinique moisturiser but there is usually an offer on if you spend so much. My friend and I club together then split the freebies!

SuiDreams- sorry for your loss


finished sorting through my makeup so a few more outs
10. nails inc south molton street - wba after finishing a few similar colours that is!
11. miss sporty dark purple - these were a pressie a few years bac. gifted to someone else
12.miss sporty glittery purple -as above
13.opi mini- light purple had went gloopy
14.opi topcoat - finished wba
15. mac eyeshadow in the shade prance- this was the hardest to throw away even though it had shattered and I have similar shades in the naked palettes- wba


now for some ins
lookfantastic had 50% off some nailpolishes plus u got a free one when you bought 3 or more..
ciate- need for tweed
opi-blue shatter
opi-vant to bite my neck- I should confess very similar shade to the miss sporty I binned above
misguided-splash -free
this puts my nailpolishes back up at nearer 40 but I do have quite a lot of nearly finished ones


I also bought the lookfantastic beauty box at £15 so look away if you don't want to know
myvitamins lemon flavour retails 4.49
Philip kingsley daily damage defence £6.95
molton brown temple tree 100ml (300ml sells for £18)- £6
Michael van Clarke more inches shampoo £4-5 value
Michael van Clarke more inches cond 75ml(250ml costs £17)as above
Gatineau Strategie Jeunesse Collagen Eye Compresses x2 (pack of 6 rrp 34.50) - 11.50
Nuxe face cream 19.50

First thoughts
It seems good value. Prob most excited to try the vitamins I think the rrp of some items is a bit :eek::eek:will try it all apart from the last item which I think I will give to my mum. The shampoo and cond are silicone and paraben free. Lastly its nice to get a box that doesn't contain a "free" mascara and I used quidco funds to pay :P has anyone used any of the items ?

In ways I'm glad I'm not the only one to have had a problem with cinders - thought I had a dud! Just looked online and found some terrible reviews. Wish I had read them before I bought the set with them in - got several more I'm going to have to use up

its annoying they never have the brown ones in the sets, they were down to £16 in boots the other day!



No more UUs or INs (yay) but have finally hit pan on one of my YSL eyeshadow palettes. Will be interesting to see how long it takes to finish the whole thing from now

I only bought one Cinders thankfully however only used half. Will donat other half to Emma.

I agree also that it's annoying that the Industry seems to think that we all only wear black mascara.

My Liz Earle order has arrived today and I've just had shower with the Bergamot & Ginger shower gel and applied the body lotion. Gorgeous fresh fragrance.
