At last a UU to report. A green soap with bits in that was a body scrub thing. WIBA, yes, I did like it and it lived in a little basket in the shower and lasted ages. I have now taken another from my stash, this is a Sanctuary one, an orangey colour.
A lemon shower gel is on it's last legs as is a Soap & Glory shower gel.
I'm also making a determined effort to use some of my fake tan body lotions as these seem to be multiplying.Official DFW Nerd Club - Member no: 203.0 -
Evening all,
Used up a tube of toothpaste - rather unexciting I'm afraid. Currently breaking out the last Sensodyne Proenamel. I'm hoping that my huge Cetaphil face wash will go this week though - I've had it since February, using it once a day! I also have a conditioner on its last legs.
Have a good week!0 -
UU to report : My Boots Ingredients Rosehip Body Butter - WIBA?, I liked this, the fragrance was lovely too. Yes, I'd be tempted to try more of this range, although I'd check out clearance for them rather than pay full price!🎉 MORTGAGE FREE (First time!) 30/09/2016 🎉 And now we go again…New mortgage taken 01/09/23 🏡

if you don't like the conditioner you can always use it when you shave your legs etc
I'm ashamed to say that it's barely made much impact, think I'll be on this challenge till I'm 93:eek:0 -
I've had a few UU's over the weekend:
- Imperial leather soap
- Clairol Root Touch Up. WIBA? Yes, it's easy to use and effective. I've used this over two sessions but I think I could be more frugal with the next box and get three uses from it.
- Sachet of Crabtree and Evelyn Iris body lotion. This smelt gorgeous and had a lovely texture, however, I couldn't justify spending the money on it unless there was an amazing offer or I had a little windfall!
- Dental floss
- Sachet of Lipo-Serum Cellulite Scrub. I bought this ages ago in Home Bargains. Thank goodness I've now used up the last sachet of it. I've not seen this in the shops since but WNBA anyway!
Night ladies, it's time I went to bed for my beauty sleep, ha ha!0 -
Used up an Avon Sleeptherapy shower gel tonight. WIBA possibly yes, good value for money, not a luxurious item but smells nice.
Also used up a GWP mini Clarins restorative day cream (red tube). WIBA good moisturising qualities and leaves skin feeling nice, but not enough of a miracle in the lifting and firming dept to justify the price even with an offer for me.0 -
Just a quick one, one UU this morning Gucci Rush II perfume - WIBA This has been lying around for years i believe and only had 2 applications left! I had gone off it but it made a nice fresh change and reminds me of my school/teenage years when i used to wear it :rotfl: so very nostalgic now!
Have a good day girls hopefully update more when I have a chance x0 -
Morning all - hope everyone had a graet weekend.
Another UU this morning: Charles worthington Heat protector - WIBA? Yes as long as its on offer, smells good, lasts well and does what it says on the tin! Am now onto my last heat protector spray in my stash!!!!New surname New start!
