My latest UUs
Olay Definity Eye (15ml) - WNBA. Such a LHJ and I'm glad this has gone! Didn't do much for my eyes but it's a stash relic so prob not Olay's fault. Very handy pump dispenser though :rotfl:
Aesop Rind Concentrate Body Balm (50ml) - HG body product scent. I loved this so much I used it as a perfume and a little as a hand cream. The proper hand cream is on my Liberty wish list. If I'm ever suddenly (magically :rotfl:) wealthy I'll buy this in huge bottles
Weleda Wild Rose Pampering Body Lotion (20ml) - WBA when my body lotion stash has gone. Lovely scent and sank in quickly.
L'Oreal Revitalift Laser Renew Global Day Cream SPF25 (sample) - really pleased to try this as it's the kind of thing I'd be tempted to buy if I saw it on offer. WNB as it was too oily/rich for my skin. Think it'd be a good facial SPF for those with normal - dry skin.
One TA
Cargo Boogie Nights Eyeliner - such a shame. This looks beautiful when swatched - deep purple with multicoloured shimmer - but it doesn't work on my eyelids :wall:
Happy Bank Hols, ladies0 -
1 UU...soap and glory hand food, I have deffo got more in stash.
1 IN, bought another of magazines with the free hand cream.0 -
Thanks! :beer: The scent reminds me of the L'Occitane Almond oil range. I love the body/linen spray - I used to use it at night to help me sleep
Your DD looks beautifulI hope that she has a wonderful time at her prom. Glad the dress crisis was solved in the end! :rotfl:
All best wishes to your DH for his op. I hope it goes perfectly and he has a speedy recovery.
Xx
I've never sniffed the L'Occitane almond range, on purpose, I always assumed it stank of marzipan which always makes me feel a bit green around the gills _pale_ TBH, I have never been all that wowed with any of their products, I was gifted 6 bars of their Lemon Verbena Shea soap and I only use it to wash my makeup brushes
Thankyou for the compliment on my DD, I have had an emotional couple of days, not because she makes me feel old (which she does and I'm only 36!) but because I can't help but think of her as a precocious, feisty three-year-old and now she is, without doubt, a woman. I want my baby girl back; sob!!
I will be glad when DH's enormous kidney stone is done and dusted, the surgeon has had two attempts already at getting the bu&&er out but third time's a charm, right?! :rotfl: xx0 -
UU
Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Hand Cream (30 ml)
Harding & Bayliss Foot Lotion (100ml)
IN
Avon Premium De Luxe Perfume (50ml) - a wonderful perfume which was on special offer for £10 and so much better than the high street brand
Avon Skin So Soft Original Bath Oil x3 - an essential, for the fractional of the price of L'occitane Almond Oil and does the same job. Cannot live without it.
Avon Sun Tan Moisturising Face Cream SPF50 x 3- on special offer.
Therefore 120 -2 = 118 +7 = 1250 -
I have one UU today
19) Barry M Intense Eyeliner Pen, 2 - Aqua Green - I feel exactly the same as I feel about the blue one I used up earlier this month.
Does anyone else have to think a lot before they buy something? I honestly can't decide...maybe I should make a clothes inventory since the toiletries one really helps
I managed to get a cold this week and its been awful. Thanks guys for motivating me. This forum is awesome. :beer:0 -
Hi all! Nothing to report here but wanted to zip in to post:
Welcome snootycow! I don't have a list for my stash, mainly because I can't be bothered, we all take part in different ways!
FizzWhizz: Best wishes for your DH - third time lucky
DreamyP:I hope you are on the mend soon!

Hope you feel better soon.
I was thinking couple of days ago that I need to do the same for my clothers & accessories as despite selling & giving away and not buying , my wardrobe is bursting with stuff still.
I also definitely think twice before buying something. I also taught myself (to some extent) to not go on "lunch time walks" that ends up in stores. Working in city center can be harmful.ally.0 -

Thanks I'm going to make one tomorrow so I have a clear idea of what I have and what I don't have like I do with makeup so I'm not constantly buying things.0
