Sensodyne Repair & Protect toothpaste - WDBA. I know Sensodyne is expensive, but I find it does help my super sensitive teeth!

I like this toothpaste too, because of my sensitivity. I always buy it when it's on offer. Always have one or two about just in case.

Well, yesterday was eventful!

When I got to work, not long before I left the locker room to start this girl fell straight to the ground and had a seizure

Then about half way through my shift I served these 2 girls who were basically stealing from the store! :eek:

They had changed the tags on all of the items they were buying so it was all going through at at least half the price it should have been sometimes more! Like, for instance, they had this parka that's supposed to be £25 or something like that, and they had put a tag on it for leggings that made it go through at £5! Once I noticed it happening I just had to be discreet and let it happen as security already had their eye on them and were waiting at the end of the tills to nab them! :rotfl:

Then, about 10 minutes before I finish, a manager comes to me and says "I don't know if anyone's told you but one of the other girls has smashed your locker in trying to get into it thinking it was theirs. I've put your stuff in the cash office to be looked after" I just stood there, shocked, and said "oh right ok, this is the first I've heard of it!" and then the manager was just like "yeah sorry about that" :mad:

So by the time I got home last night I was feeling pretty crappy(got things going on at home too) so I made the bathroom into a little sanctuary and had a(almost) midweek pamper sesh

I ran a bath with bubbles(using one of the Avon bubble baths on my UU list), and just chilled out in the bath listening to music for about an hour.

What a nightmarish day. Is this par for the course in retail at this time of year?

Finished the 15ml pot of PCMC this morning. Will see how much is left in the 100ml pot tonight. Let's hope it lasts until Xmas.

Am very tempted to buy theLiz Earle TSV coming up. I think it's official release day is Saturday however it's "live" already. The only item I won't use/don't use is Eyebright and I'm fairly confident that I can sell that on FB.

Long time lurker on this thread so may join in November

Wondered how people stored their Lush soaps when they are in use? I've just started a new soap and don't like the idea of leaving it to get all mushy on the shower tray?

Amazon or eBay sell these soap holders called Soap Savers, they're perfect for Lush soaps, they have raised points to rest the soap on and it lets them dry, but don't place it in the shower stream, try placing it somewhere where it would be sprayed with water

Also another long time lurker, I may need to join for November too

Hi all, how are we all?

Gemma that day sounded rough. Hope you enjoyed your bath.

I still feel awful with what I assume is flu. The shivers and hot sweats and severe aches felt worse than any cold I've had in ages and today I feel sick to my stomach. Off work again and I've been bored out of my mind! Want to try to go back tomorrow if I can.

I have a small UU of a teeny sample that was in a GWP of Kypris 1000 roses. WIBA? Well I have other oils to use atm but maybe one day as this was LUSH calmed my spotty skin downs lot and just feels really good.

I've realised on a rediculously-expensive-shouldn't-buy-it facial oil theme I have an in I never declared. Reason I hadn't declared was because at the time I bought it at 20% off I asked to have a separate sample to trial to see if I got on ok and an agreement I could return the unopened full size of I didn't get on. The oil is Juno by Sunday Riley and I know she has good press and I was advised to try it. Now after the sample I wasn't convinced because my skin Was misbehaving but I felt this was more to the bad reaction to Bliss products, a sample size foaming face wash I've been trying to UU but I don't think suits me and general stress and illness. So I
Made the decision to keep the full size as I'd got a bargain. I do hope it works out for me as it is an expensive mistake if not....


I must not buy ANY non essential toiletries in November and wait until Christmas!!!!

VALM - Yes, definitely. We have to be on higher alert now as for some reason people think they can get away with blue murder at this time of year! :mad:

I did enjoy my bath. I was just laying there listening to my tunes and let all thoughts escape my mind

I definitely woke up and went to work with a spring in my step this morning!

Another UU here Ted Baker body lotion, that must be it for a while now unless i get time for a bath and some LUSH:)

That reminds me why, no matter how stressed I get with my job, I absolutely do not miss working with the public gemmajenkins!

UUs here:
18. Candle Belle Cotton and Blossoms Mega Melt WMBA. I don't think this was as good as some of their others but nice enough.
19. Lush Autumn Leaf Bath Bomb WDBA. This smells like the Grass shower gel which I am rationing at the moment and hoping it comes back in the kitchen! It's absolutely lovely and felt quite moisturising for a bath bomb. Left the water a not so nice colour but I can ignore that for the scent.
20. Poundland Eye Makeup Remover Pads WBA.

And INs. I got the other few Lush Christmas bits I wanted to try and a couple of other bits.
19. Lush Stardust Bath Bomb
20. Lush Monster’s Ball Bath Bomb
21. Lush Mistletoe Bath Bomb
22. Lush Northern Lights Bath Bomb
23. B&M Essence Lakeside Candle
24. Zoeva Cool Spectrum Palette - This was randomly down to £15 on BeautyBay. It didn't say sale but they didn't have the other Spectrum eye palettes so I wonder if they're not going to restock them. It arrived today and looks lovely. It's meant to be around £30 I think and I can't even bring myself to feel guilty about it!

Re the Liz Earle TSV. I've been thinking about trying LE again. I had a starter kit years ago and I remember liking the cleanser but not the moisturiser so i might just try the cleanser on its own instead of a kit. The packaging on the Xmas gift sets is luring me a bit though!

Get well soon houseplant.

I have a uu

Aromatherapy Associates Deep Relax Bath Oil 7.5ml - WNBA, this is my favourite of all the ones they do though.
