    Rosemary, I was looking at a scholl one. I was looking at this one on Boots

    I have only found one good review so far but no bad ones.

    I'm a big fan of this Scholl Party Feet foot file. It lasts ages but I always buy two when the BOGOHP offer is on.

    Managed to finish up a colgate sensitive toothpaste yesterday. WIBA:Yes, although I got it from Asda on the 3 for £3 offer so will stock up again only at that price. Otherwise I buy the A&H sensitive from Poundland:money:

    I've just started using a BS strawberry shower gel and I think I'm in love, its smells so lush. After complaining about how crap the cocoa butter one was I've been really impressed with the mango shower gel and now this one. Which is a good thing as I've tons of BS ones left in my stash:rotfl:

    Some more use ups:

    M&S grapefruit hand wash - wiba no. Dreadful watery stuff.

    Bought a lot of bits today - all stuff that I have run out of! Eye make up remover, eye serum. And stash running outs, spray toner (mmm I have 2 open bottles but one has nearly run out), cleansers (have 2 in stash that are spluttering and 1 full one). One area that was naughty was make up, No7 3 for 2. Got their nude lip liner - much better than my Revlon nude that can look clownlike... And some mousse eye make up. First eye make up bought in about a year.

    Right so all I need still is: exfoliator and powder foundation (as I'm using mineral stuff that isn't quite the right colour and its annoying!) :p

    I've not long bought a ped egg. They had them for £6.99 last time I went into TKmaxx. I would tell you how it is if I could find it to use it but DH has "tidied" (read opened cupboards drawers and just shoved random things in random places) it away.
    I do have a scholl one which is like the parmesan graters. I don't think a great deal of it TBH. It can leave deep troughs in your hard bits!

    thevicster, I was wondering what on earth a vouher was. "Has she been somewhere really exotic?" I wondered to my self. Nah, it finally clicked. I'm quite dense sometimes but in my defence, it's bed time not lunch time but I'm having lunch!
    Busy night here so I think I'll sleep well tomorrow. Catch you later.

    Forgot to mention that I FINALLY managed to use up a Body Shop Passion Fruit Facewash. I was trying to be :money: so I put it in a pump dispenser and it therefore lasted aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa *takes deep breath* aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaages. So much so that I got sick of it and started using it as a shower gel as well.

    WIBA? I'm not sure it exists anymore (well, not on the website). It wasn't really for my type of skin (it was for normal), but it was ok even then, and I bet if I had normal skin it would have been great. I couldn't waste it, so at least it's used up.

    Debidoodle, do you mean like a pedi egg? I've seen them advertised but to me they look like if I used one I would end up doing more damage than good :o

    Rosemary, I was looking at a scholl one. I was looking at this one on Boots

    I have only found one good review so far but no bad ones.

    I could also buy this one and take advantage of the offer if it comes back into stock in time ;)

    Just posting to say thanks for all the WIBA information. I'm not joining the challenge because I'm one of those weirdos who doesn't have a make up and toiletries stash, but I love reading what you all thought of the products you're using up. Loving the lists too! :j

    UU - Gok Wan Body wash from a gift set given to me by my DD last c'mas. WIBA - smelled lovely, very decadent and femine. I will miss it in that respect, though I did not find it moisturising enough for my skin, I have the Gok Wan body wash shimmer to use next - though very shimmery coming out of the tube - I haven't noticed it actually left anything on my skin. Anyways, now that alot more is on display I have resorted to just washing the essential bits with bodywash, and not using anything on my arms and legs. I've been very suprised at how doing that along with slathering on perfumed olive oil after every hot shower, has improved my skin.
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!

    Hello ladies, I've finally made it into the fold after a rather prolonged absence. No, I didn't fall off the wagon, just totally hectic time lately!

    So, I've used quite a few things up lately - can't rememeber exactly, but I'll try and remember the most recent.

    Travel sized Liz Earle handcream. WIBA? Yes, but only in travel size as I don't think it keeps very well and seems to develop a slightly odd smell. Won't buy any until I've finished Lush's Helping Hands.

    Diptyque Tam Dao perfume. WIBA? Yes, and I did (hangs head in shame). In my defence, I did buy it at a Fenwicks shopping event so there was 20% off, and I wear it almost daily.

    Aveda Shampure. WIBA? Yes,very gentle and smells gorgeous.

    Aveda Dry Remedy Moisturising Shampoo. WIBA? Only if I have dry hair. The only one I've found works properly but it's so rich it leaves normal hair a bit flat and it goes greasy quickly. Would be great for thick curly hair though - LiR, I'm thnking of you here.

    I'm virtually through my truly massive Lush stash from Xmas and birthday, so much so I felt able to treat myself to a couple of bathbombs last weekend (my one big weakness).

    Sad to say I'm getting to end of the gorgeous Guerlain moisturiser as well. I'd love to be able to use this forever, but wouldn't dream of paying that amount of money for face cream!
