Thinking of what to write about when you haven’t been getting anything new of late is mighty depressing. Yep ladies, the reality of the recession has finally hit me. I haven’t bought any makeup (and this includes lipstick and lipgloss – what happened to the lipstick effect??) in over a month. There aren’t much out there to impress me with in the first place, and the ones that do, aren’t exactly worth me shelling out almost a hundred bucks a piece for. What’s a girl to do when new makeup no longer excites her?
Why, her own stash, of course!
I’m going to be following in the steps of Paris (who began it all), and Ollie, who had been shopping in her own stash for a while now. I too shall shop in my own stash (SIMOS) to rediscover old gems (and in the process, chuck the lemons).
Before I take you down memory lane with me in the coming posts, I shall show you something I bought yesterday (something remotely beauty-related I bought in a long time). Finally, after weeks of waiting, L’occitane’s Peach Blossom range is out!
After a long while of sniffing from hand to hand, deciding which item I wanted, the noteworthy ones were the perfume and the exfoliating wash. I ended up with just the perfume this time (might go back to snag me the exfoliating wash). I’m a fan of fruity and floral scents, so this attracted me. The body lotion’s a tad too peachy and sweet for my liking. As for the lipgloss, I’ve got too many to begin with, so that’s out.
So that’s probably the only new beauty-related item I’ll be having for a while. Until something new props up, or when I snag a good bargain, it’s back to my own stash for me!

Good Morning Tine,
I like Peaches. Peach, the fruit, or in a perfume, or a body wash, etc.
Please do a review on this. Thanks.
I got a sniff of this about a week ago in-store before the actual line launched… and I think I will also be picking up the perfume. It’s so fresh and springy!
wow..the packaging itself looks wonderful! I am into scents and I love to collect them!
hehe…you and your peach blossom!
don’t worry, I’m sure there’ll be plenty to talk about either way right? And hey, they may be ‘oldies’ but you never know…look what happened with TBS Vit C! *grins*
so pretty! it looks like TBS cherry/sakura series. And somehow this bottle reminds me of your blog
p/s: i love fruity/floral scent too!
I’ve tried the exfoliating wash, and would definitely recommend it. It leaves behind a really pleasant scent, rather than the chemical smell you get sometimes.
