alfiecat I love the Neal's Yard freebie from the Marie Claire, DD didn't like hers so she gave it to me.

This is also my favourite thread as everyone is so welcoming & friendly.

No use ups today and no spending either

Hi everyone and welcome to the newcomers! I am sure you will really enjoy this thread. I agree with all the nice things that have been said about the community spirit here. It is really nice to know that I am not alone with my spending/hoarding problem with toiletries, and its a great feeling to be tackling the problem at last and make a start at using things up. :T

I have finished up a few things since last time:
Sanctuary Facial Wash - WIBA? Yes, it I really liked this. I got it with a £5 off voucher a couple of years ago (maybe more) and so only paid a couple of pounds for it. The fragrance is lovely, and I felt it did the job really well without drying my skin out.
Boots Mediterranean Orange, Lemon & Grape Shower Gel - WIBA? No probably not. It was part of a gift set and it was ok but nothing special. The fragrance was nice but not very long lasting, and I did need to remember to put body lotion or body butter on afterwards as it was a bit drying.
No7 Protect & Perfect Body Serum - finished the other little 25ml tube. WIBA? No I wasn't keen on the fragrance although the texture was nice.

Things hopefully finishing soon: 4 almost-finished shower gels, eye gel (the never-ending one), 2 hand creams, heel repair foot cream and probably more things I can't think of right now.

So I'm still working my way through stuff I had opened but never finished, and random travel size things. If this thread continues in May, I will definitely join it (and probably well into 2011 looking at what I have to use up!).
