Well you know which eye makeup remover you need to replace the BS one with when it runs out.....L'Oreal, £2.69 or thereabouts a bottle - bargain!

Funny how we're all different - I only use loose powder - have never really got on with the pressed stuff at all. Some are more messy than others I think - I use the Clinique blended face powder and the container that comes in is excellent for just letting enough out at a time to dip your brush in without it ending up dripping in the stuff.

Morning girlies,
I had a little clearout yesterday and got rid of the following, tbh I could have got rid of more but think I need to do things in stages, that way it doesn't seem just as bad!

Garnier caffeine eye rollerball – did nothing and the colour was too dark
Dior bronzer in light tan – a bit orange for my liking
Unbranded blue eyeshadow duo - the eighties's are over!!
Revlon cream metallic eyeshadow quad- lovely, but very old
Clinique anti-blemish solution – way too old
Oxy emergency gel – again way too old
2True lip gloss in plum
Clinque quad eyeshadow (pink, blue, brown, cream) – don’t like the colours
Collection 2000 eye sparkles – way too messy
Loreal colour resist eyeshadow – v.old
No7 funfair eyeshadow – (pink)
Rimmel loose powder eyeshadow , brown – way too messy
Clinique pore minimiser serum - useless
Clinique pore minimiser refining lotion - useless
Clinique pore minimiser instant perfector – useless and make up slides off everywhere
Benefit benetint lip balm – dried my lips out

Waiting to be rehomed – Bulgari Omnia Chrystalline perfume – smells awful on me


also have two ins to declare:
Sanctuary warming microbrasion polish
tesco own brand conditioner - this was 24p !!! curiosity got the better of me and I thought I'd try it just to see if it works.

have a lovely day ladies, xx

bet that's given you a bit of space back in your cupboards.
if you don't like the conditioner you can always use it when you shave your legs etc

One more UU to report ladies! No7 P&P serum - in a glass bottle, so it's about 4 years old ha ha ha!!!!!! WIBA: yes, but only on offer. I have several samples from GWPs so shall use them first.

I vaguely remember paying £11.75 or thereabouts for it when it was first on the TV prog which hyped it up... luckily there was a No7 voucher out at the time So that's £11.75 into my toiletry savings pot - I shall update my sig right now.

:wave:afternoon ladies

another uu to report: No7 Amazing Radiance hot polsih cleanser, really like this stuff and love the clean feeling I get afer using the muslin cloth, have another one in the stash so no need to repurchase.

I have decided to be ruthless and I'm going to go through the make up stash and get rid of all the stuff I know I'm never going to use, I will be strong!!

Gulp!!! :eek:

You did well, congrats to you! :T

Oh, must try this - I've never found the perfect EMUR.

p.s. I never use powder at all, am I weird? lol

I have met this easily. I stick to my favourite brand toiletries and buy them not when needed but when I see offers, such as 1/2 price, 3 for 2. Once my basket at home is filled I stop and get started on using them up.

I never pay full price and always have a stockpile that lasts ages

Um... it is the stockpile that we are trying to address here!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Yes but if you read my post again once the basket is full I don't buy any more as standard

A UU for me today: tube of L'Occitane Cherry Blossom hand cream. WIBA? Probably, I like these although the Lavender one is my favourite (I have already purchased one of these! - only because I had to cut the Cherry Blossom tube to get the last bits out and couldn't keep it in my handbag like that. Have finished it off on MrM's feet!

Another :money: for me at the mo is that I've made my own body scrub. Had a coffee scrub on holiday and have made my own using a quarter pack of coffee I had at work (was for my cafatiere but I've gotten lazy and switched to instant), some brown sugar (used up some little sachets that MrM always brings home when he works away and some Johnsons Baby Oil. Works wonders it does although does tend to get all over the bathroom when I use it. :money:
