Welcome Tolteca87. :hello:

YSL Opium is one of my favourite scents too and I have an original unused soap in my stash which I can't bear to open yet. I also love Cinnabar by Estee Lauder but have just discovered that they have tinkered with the formula and it just doesn't smell right any more.

I hate it when they mess with something which worked perfectly. Though at least this experiment shows that when you do feel you want to open your Opium soap they used strong enough plastic that it should still be good. I was given mine as a pressie back in uni - which is one of the reasons I hadn't used it - and that is more than 25 years ago. But it just lathered fine.

Thanks for the welcome, everyone.

Totally agree. Body Shop are bad for doing that with their ranges. You just find something amazing that you love and that suits perfectly and it's whisked away never to be seen again

That reminds me. I picked up some of their Elderflower eye gel ( which at least they brought back) a couple of months ago. Must find it and open. It was great for hay fevery eyes.

I have some INs , I bought In Style and there was a freebie for St Tropez In Shower Tanning Wash.

Also bought Bare Minerals Complexion kit. This was reduced at House of Fraser and I always wanted to try.

Clarins daily wash and beauty flash balm. Came with free gift. Couple of travel size items and a small eyeshadow palette.

Hi ladies and welcome Tolteca, glad you have been encouraged to open up and use your Opium soap.

I have an IN and a UU to report:-

IN : L'Oreal lipgloss called Flash Dance. I have quite a stash of Smashbox lipglosses which I can't bring myself to throw away. I keep scraping away at them trying to get every last weenie bit out. Anyhow, one of my absolute faves, Spiceberry, has come to the end of it's life. After watching a You Tube video about dupes I went into Boots to look at the L'Oreal eyeshadows as apparently a couple of them are really good dupes for both Stila Sex Kitten and a nude one by Urban Decay (can't remember the name). My Boots didn't have thm as apparently they are only available in the US however my eye was caught by this lipgloss which is a great dupe for Spiceberry. Spiceberry is not available anymore and in any case las time I checked Smashbox lipglosses were abot £13.00 each. This one was on offer at £6.99 and there was a 3for 2 offer on L'Oreal. Couldn't find a third item to buy so looked in Superdrug and their offer was buy one get one half price so I treated Emma to a lipgloss as well so it equated to £5.24 each. Bargain! Very pleased with the colour and Flash Dance is one of my favourite songs as well !!

UU : L'occitane Magnolia and Muir fragrance. This was the last of the mini bottles that I got as a mag feebie. WNBA. Too floral for me really.

I gave the Avon brochure back without making an order. Looked in my stash today and have three mascaras in there already. Also saw taht I have a small sized LE Eyebright that I'd forgotten about. Am thinking that instead of getting the TSV I'll wait until pay day to order the essentials from LE direct and spend £50.00 to take advantage of the three mini freebies. I'll probably buy another face mask to make up the price as this has nearly all gone and I've enjoyed using it.
