    Mum and I both did the same thing the other day - Mum's opened hers already (sooooo impatient! :p) and said the same thing about the brush - I've not opened mine though so I still don't know what's so odd about it! :D

    :rotfl::rotfl:I looked at the brush immediately I moved away from the counter:rotfl::rotfl: I won't spoil the surprise by telling you what it's like:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello All,

    Just a few UU to report:

    Britney Spears Curious perfume
    - Finally used up after two years even though it was only 30ml. WIBA? Probably not, at the time I loved it but I think I've outgrown the smell but I still have the 100ml Fantasy perfume to look forward to :-( .

    Superdrug Vit E eyecream
    - WIBA? No, for some daft reason they have decided to include glitter in the cream which is not a good look if you're over 17 and want to be taken seriously in life (no offense to anyone who uses eye glitter ). I ended up using the two creams I purchased as hand cream which wasn't very moisturising so goodness knows what the effect would have been on my eyes if I had continued using it.

    Rose water
    - Purchased from Asian food store, good for cleansing skin. WIBA? Yes, cheap and cheerful.

    Another Body Shop Vit E cream - WIBA? Probably not, I don't find this cream really moisturising, it's quite watery and doesn't really sink in. I only use this at night. I have three more to use up but it will teach me not to buy so many BS products because it's on offer.

    I finished my shea cream so whipped myself a new mixture and even made a lip balm by using shea butter, lavender oil and some beeswax so no need to buy any more body shop stuff if I can resist.
  • I've got a UU to report - a Chilli Pepper Body Scrub - brought in the Boots sale either last year or the year before. It was part of a gift set, WIBA - I'm not sure you can get it separately, but probably not it had gone gloppy and not in a good way! Anyhoo at least I used it and didn't through it out!

    Hi all, another UU for me: Elemis Sharp Shower. WIBA: Yes, as I loved the smell, although it's expensive, so would wait for deals. Another for my splurge HG!!

    Why not put it on Ebay? If you really don't want to use it sell it to someone that does. Fragrance sells really well on Ebay, even if its just a few quid you get for it its better than smelling of something you don't like for weeks/months on end!! And its a legitimate UU :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I had a "chuck out" today. Benefit It Stick. Its so hard and heavy that I can't get on with it at all. It was the freebie in Glamour(?) in the summer and I've finally given it up as a bad job. It sat in the tiny creases on my 40 year old face and made them look like mile deep crevasses :mad: In the bin and good riddance!!!

    Hi all

    Partial stock take completed, 166 products so far. I still have to count products in use, opened and abandoned and many free samples. It was a real wake up call to see all the "spare" products in one place. At least I've seen I've got lots of lovely products to use.

    Well done to all of you on the use ups and to those who've resisted new buys.
  • Well u lot have really motivated me :j I need to count up how much stuff I have though - not got round to it yet :o I do NEED eye make-up remover and cleanser though cause after taking my make-up off tonight I haven't got any left. I do have 4 NO.7 vouchers which I could use or anything else you can recommend that is cheap-ish .. any advice?
    Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend...
