    oooh thanks for this, :D will have a proper look tomorrow. Had a quick look just now and couldn't see a fees page, how much is it to sell?
    TIA
    No more Ins or Outs :)

    They take a %15 comission and you can use bank account or Paypal (if buyer is using Paypal). Withdrawing to bank account costs another 50p. Overall it is slightly cheaper than Ebay.

    However you just upload the item once and it will be in the catalogue until sold or you take it down. You can change the price later on. You can also swap items.Personally I made around £60 from 11 sales - I don't think I'd do this on Ebay. Most of the time, you need to start your auction from 99p and unless it is a unique item, it will not go higher than couple of pounds. Also there is little protection for the seller on Ebay. If buyer argues that they haven't received it and you don't have tracking, Ebay will refund it right away for example. I have around 400 sales on Ebay and made good money out of it over the years but it is becoming less attractive every other day.

    Ps: Also you can sell clothes, shoes etc. You can also bundle. Good luck and PM me if you need help :)

    The Brightening treatment shouldn't sting when you use it.

    How long are you leaving it on for? I think the recommended time is only about 30 seconds, although it can be mixed with C&P and left for longer (avoiding the eyes).

    I love the LE brightening treatment. I leave it on for about 1 minute. I actually really like the smell. It doesn't sting me. But as I've mentioned no more LE for me because of the sale to Avon. But I will really enjoy using up my stash.
    My son loves the LE exfoliator. He has quite sensitive skin, he gets the very occasional spot but does get some blocked pores but the normal 'teenage' exfoliators are a bit harsh for him. I don't know what I am going to buy him instead (and I like to use it too amongst my other exfoliators!), so any suggestions will be very gratefully received.

    does any one know a really good concealer. my holy grail product was one by la roche posey in a fluid and it was amazing. it was light feeling but the pigment level was amazing and was very light colour.

    i have developed rocecea like redness and i don't want to go own the antibiotic or prescription cream route (let that be an option for much later).
    I need a decent concealer that is very pale. I have tried dermablend and the coverage is ok (not as good as the old la roche posey) but the color of the lightest shade opal has yellow undertones. It is very mask like in a too dark shade.

    has any one of used a concealer that is very pale and is a Holy Grail type product. i would prefer to make my "in" the best product. are mac concealers good?

    I use Benefit Boing because I preder a more putty type concealer but I've heard good things about Laura Geller real deal concealer. You could order from QVC and return it if it's no good.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Not knowing the reasons for your not wishing to use LE since sold to Avon, I don't know if this will make a difference to you or not, but Avon sold the LE business this year to the company who own B**ts, article here. HTH

    Hello all and a warm welcome to the thread obop. :)
    Don't worry Deleted_User, I am struggling a bit too. As soon as I have a bit of an off day I always feel like buying something to cheer myself up; old habits die hard. As long as you are moving in the right direction you shouldn't beat yourself up about it. :o

    Thanks for the welcome! And, for what it's worth ladies, I've definitely been in a 'buy everything' kind of mood. Have settled for 'buy nice things you really need' instead. But it's *so* difficult!!!

    PP List

    Argan Oil Hair Treatment
    Argan Oil Shampoo
    [STRIKE]Ritual Shower Gel[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]E45 Cream for Dry Skin[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Samples x 5[/STRIKE]
    Body Shop Vitamin-E Face Wash
    [STRIKE]Big Pony Ralph Lauren Pink Perfume
    [/STRIKE]

    Ritual Shower Gel and the 5th sample is gone. It was an Aveeno dry skin cream sample. Good stuff and might buy in the future.
    Ritual shower gel was part of the Ritual box. Great texture, not strong smell. Have a lot others to UU anyway so WNBA.

    Body shop face wash and argan oil stuff will go to September's pp list.
