    Had a UU in the shower this morning: a 50 ml No 7 for Men Multitask Hair and Body Wash. I think this came with a gwp. I used it as a shower gel (the OH prefers soap). It had a nice fragrance - not overpowering as some men's shower gels can be. No idea whether you can still buy it. I have got quite a few travel size shower gels and am going to start using some of them up at home. Many of these have been freebies or have come as part of a gift set and I have put them on one side for short breaks. Unfortunately I won't be having enough short breaks to use the quantity I have and so it's time to use them up!

    Help - fake tan disaster just woke up with very stripey legs:eek:

    Half asleep I decided to put fake tan on before going to bed using one I hadn't tried before - L'Oreal Nutrisummer mist - no need to rub in it said!!!! I waited until dry and then went to bed and woke up this morning to really bad uneven legs. Thought it would save me time in the morning and its took me longer than usual.

    I exfoliated until my legs are raw and even tried a stainaway skin stain remover meant for hair colour but to no avail trying to get the damn stuff off.

    Will have to wear my jeans today - does anyone know any easy way to remove this?
  • Only bought double packet of face wipes so far this month. Using up huge body butter from Bodyshop. It seems to be lasting forever. Not keen on the smell (pomegranate) so will be glad when it's gone.

    got my samples of pantainne shampoo and conditioner today 75mls each,good for weekends away/airports called aqua light (tip off on this forum I think made me apply:T

    tried the boobi brown eyeliner that came with beauty bible stuff(had to spend £6.50 on a brush to use it)WIBA no way,the BB stuff was aimed at oldies like me but don't they realise when you get into your 40s and older the eyesight goes and trying to apply eyeliner when you can't actually see does not make for a fun evening:eek::eek::eek:....this is why eye pencils with sponges to smudge were invented:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    morning all....

    confession, I bought this weekend:( couldn't help myself. 100ml bottle of SJP perfume for £10!!!! don't have any perfume in my stash so don't feel too bad!

    Still trying to UU a few bits at the minute, hopefully done by the end of the week.

    just to comment on what someone said above - I too have taken the challenge to other things, like store cuboard stuff, not getting more until i UU!!

    Also put some of my stash on ebay at the weekend. Bits that to be honest - I'm not that fussed on using so hopefully will get a few pounds from them!
    New surname New start!

    UU - wild cherry body scrub and butter from BS ...... WIBA - yes to the butter, no to the scrub, as it wasn't as good as the other ones I've tried.
    Now opened the nutmeg and vanilla scrub and butter from BS...hope the scrub is better!

    Just bought a Sanctuary face wash using the £5 off voucher in Boots, came to £1.99. I don't feel too bad about it as I only have half a bottle of non-exfoliating cleanser at home so it's to put in the stash until it's needed.
