    Oooh what fake tan do you use Tara? I'm a paley too.

    I've binned (metaphorically, sp?) 3 products - off to sis. I keep shuffling them around, thinking oo I will use that and never do. So b*gg*r this, they're off this morning.

    Well done roshydoshy finishing all those things! Did they all finish on the same day? I know what you mean about "turning girlie" lol - I have never used so many different products on myself before! (but I am enjoying it!)
    Enjoy your chocolate!! xx
    hiya pinkandwhites thank you :) i used them up over the space of a day - felt like such a buzz when there was more than one empty bottle in the recycling :rotfl: makes this challenge seem worthwhile!x

    Thanks Tara, Garnier. I think that did well in Beauty Bible beauty steals actually. Will put that on my list to buy, when I have no self tan stash...

    Happy pampering everyone.:j

    I have almost used up a Lush sugar scrub - WIBA - No! It's like an instrument of torture! It does work I think (only used on bum and thighs) but flipping kills! It was a present so I'm not sure I like the person that bought it anymore!

    Have also found an No 7 reviving eye gel I forgot I had and am using it up this week - I actually quite like this so would recommend it. I think I bought it with one of the Boots vouchers but would pay full price for it.

    Re: The lush sugar scrub
    I got one of these in a xmas gift set and the first time i used it i thought i was using a grater on my b-hind. So i dipped it in some water and crumbed it into a tub, now using it like most 'normal' scrubs and its even lathering up when i use it.
  • Hello
    Just read through April thread and am inspired to join you if you don't mind. I have a kilner jar type pot of stuff I've been meaning to use for over a year and thought I would come on the beauty section of mse to see if anyone can advise, got it off the shelf and had a look at it and found the instructions of the bottom! Why I didn't think to look there before I've no idea. Have been using up various body butters I got for my 50th birthday last year - no make that year before last. Off for a shower now to use my lurur warming sugar rub by body thereapy spa. (Deffinately not something I would have bought for myself.)
    Bye for now.

  • Feel all lovely now. Used the scrub, wouldn't buy it, a faff and didn't feel any different to ordinary wash. Used the boday therapy serenity mananuca body balm after which was lovely and smells great. Found a pot of body shop aloe soothing day cream which I thought was finished but there is still some left so used it. Why does the last drop take so long to use up? If I use it every day should be able to throw the pot away by next week end.
    Have been feeling very down and this has given me a great boost. Thank you.

    Hi procrastinator - welcome !!!

    I had one of those warming body things - all I will say is be careful not to get it on your hair - i accidently caught the ends of mine with it, and it completely wrecked my hair.... I ended up having to get it cut miles up to get rid of the broken and old bits - was a nightmare !!!

    No uses up today - though i am in a break from clearing out my room - the charity shop is gaining quite a bit... ;)
