does anyone on here do the boots testing thing? not sure if it's any good.

Yes i do. I think its really good i have had so many things too test and i dont think i have ever had anything i didnt really like. a few months ago i had 6 tubes of the body serum to test and since i joined up i have not had to buy any face cream or serum. i get quite alot of make up, face creams,bubble baths, shower gels,shampoos and conditioners. I think thats why my stash has grown so much as i kept on buying my usuals but never using them as im always testing things.

I'm a member too and found its been a waste of time for me, only ever had one test.

Finally got a UU an Apple chapstick, WIBA yup, I love the flavoured chapsticks, they taste good and keep my lips in good condition despite my spending my time in and out of cold water, swimming pools, and being outdoors as much as I can be.
Think I'll be finishing my conditioner too tomorrow night. I tend to use cheap ones as I'm lucky to not need too much product on my hair, so Tesco's own Apple has been my recent one - think the bottle has lasted since about March. I would buy it again but have others to use in my stash first.

Yesterday was PY(T)NT. I used Natural Collection Cappuccino. This is an old bottle of polish and it had separated but I gave it a good shake and it was fine. I smudged a couple of nails though but didn't have time yesterday morning to redo them. I've put a coat of clear nail varnish on them this morning and you can't see the smudges now. Yay! Should last until Sunday now when I'll probably have a change of colour.

I signed up to boots and have never had anything! what am I doing wrong?

Today will see the end of the showergel to record and the end of a body butter.

A UU to report - Botanics Facial Serum capsules. WIBA? Probably on a glitch - I thought I had loads of tubes of this left but can't find any It's very smoothing and feels great but as I've said before, I'm not really sure serum does anything apart from provide a nice feeling when it first goes on.

Hiya girls, hope you are all well, hope you are feeling better Jacks (i think it was - apologies if not)

I've been bad and neglecting the beauty routines so not many UU to report. I used my the last drab of my favourite Gucci Envy Me perfume this morning WIBA yes i love this, its nice, light and flowery and I do tend to get compliments when wearing it (old and young, male and female!) i'd definately recommend trying it. But I have plenty more of my 2nd favourite Calvin Klein Eternity Moment to use up and Eternity Summer too. The rest are a bit too heavy for this weather!

I feel like I've gone back to square one, it was my birthday last week and had a major haul of cosmetics to report - Benefit has been restocked x2, new Yves St Lauren bronzer, Lancome eyeshadow pallettes, Bliss goodies and Next sets. I can't complain they are gorgeous gifts and will get used but I have so many to get through first!

As for the Boots testing....I applied AGES ago and never heard anything back - I think a contract is sent out when you are accepted but I obviously never made it that far :rotfl: I have however been getting a few ones through from ClixResearch recently, got my first Litmus Test trial this week and have been receiving boxes and boxes (6!!) of washing powder from one of them that i'm not sure of!!x

A UU for me trevor sorbbie long hair serum WIBA ? no it didnt make one bit of difference to my hair but it could be just that my hair is so dry and frizzy that nothing seems to work. With the boots testing they never email you when they have trials going like the other sites you have to log in. its best to do it a few times each day and then request each trial.

but they never sent me any log in details - it still says i have to wait to be approved or something along those lines!

Quiite a few UUS for me this week:-

Elemis Neck and Bust Cream. WIBA? Not sure. Am testing the Dove ProAge one at the mo. If it's ok will buy this as it'sa huge price difference.

Champneys toner. WIBA? No. I've been trying to find an alternative to LE and this isn't it. It took ages to absorb into my skin. I am however using Elemis Lavender toner at the mo and am liking this a lot.

LE Daily Eye Repair. WIBA? Probably. I've used it for a few years now and haven't found an alternative. Do have a Boots Vit E one to try in the stockpile though so the Jury's out.

Neutrogena facial scrub. WIBA? No. Not sure it did anything. Have returned to my old favourite: Biore.

Also used up an Aussie conditioner and deodorant. No particular attachments to either of these so have replaced them with other brands.

Have bought a tube of S&G Fab Pore cleanser and Biore scrub this week but did have vouchers so the two only cost me £2.00.
