    Welcome to a fellow compulsive buyer!

    Have a look at my stash list on page 2 (it's so big it wouldn't fit on one post!), basically I want someone to beat it now! :rotfl:

    Boots Extracts Peppermint body scrub. WNBA. Hate this product. It's watery and ineffective. According to my stash list I have one of these left. They are 75ml sizes so I want to rattle through these so I can use my Cup o Coffee 1/3

    Bath and Body Works Ultra Shea body lotion Japanese Cherry Blossom. Love these and will repurchase on holiday. I have 2 full sized lotions left plus a gradual tan lotion and then 2 x oils and 8 x travel sizes. Will work through the full sizes and then the travel as there not much point in saving them. If I manage to get through a substantial amount before I go away in October I will buy a B&BW lotion from eBay. I have a Sanctuary inshower moisturiser in the bathroom that I will use next.

    VALM - well done on finishing your blusher, I know how hard that is.

    The problem you are having with your B&B is the same as I had with Bourjois blushers and eyeshadows, after a couple of uses you can't get anything on the brush, I got rid of the ones I had and have never bought since.

    I thought my primer would be done today but no it just keeps giving.

    Another UU

    Botanica 30ml Hand cream, from a gift set from Wilkinsons bought for me last Christmas found in the drawer with a little bit left in it. Used if up in 2 days but it hasn't had the desired effect it did have so glad it is now all one. WBA as it left my skin nice a soft when I first used it and lesson learned is not to hoard hand cream lol. Starting to use up yet another year old half empty hand cream. Will hopefully finish that one soon too.

    I have a uu

    Tresemme Salon Smooth Serum - this was OK, not great just OK, I have 2 more in the stash (bought on 3 for 2 without knowing whether I liked it which is typical of the old me) but after that WNBA.

    5 use ups to report, pp list is now

    15ml Elemis Papaya Enzyme Peel
    3ml Vichy Liftactiv Serum 10 Eye & Lashes
    2ml sample Monsoon ? perfume
    10ml Gatineau Lip Care
    50ml Lotil English Weather Cream
    Dr Dennis Gross Alpha Beta Peel pads step 1 & 2
    7ml Clarins Raspberry Lip Oil
    125ml Clinique TTDO Cleansing Balm
    41ml Mitchum AP/Deo stick
    [STRIKE]1ml sample Clinique Be Happy perfume 1/1
    250ml Verveine Hand and Nail Cream 2/2
    NIOD FECC 3/3
    15ml Liz Earle Superskin moisturiser 4/4
    30ml NIOD MMHC 5/5[/STRIKE]

    I almost succumbed to buying Q's TSV of the Revitalash products, I use the eye lash one and wanted to try the one for brows as mine are rather sparse now, but the reports mentioned brows growing very dark and that would look so odd on me, that I changed my mind so No Buy is intact so far.:D
