    Mm, The chai tea and the body butter both sound gorgeous! Will look out for the brand you mentioned.
    I so don't actually need tea though, I counted about 12 different kinds as I moved and that didn't include seeing what was in a tin of various brands/flavours of fruity tea or the sainsbury's tea we're still drinking here!

    Only 12....?! :o Shall the 2 of us start a No Buying Tea Thread? :)

    (Ok, three things I have more of than I need. Toiletries, shopping bags and tea of any variant.)

  • Three UUs for me today.

    SD Vitamin E body cream. WIBA? Have another tub to get through, but liking it so far.
    Nails Inc nail oil pen. WIBA? Probably, but have 2 more nail oil products to get through first.
    Garnier Pure face wash. WIBA? Yes, once I have used my other cleansers. Has kept my skin relatively blackhead-free, and I've had blackheads for as long as I can remember, so this one is a winner for me.

    Can anyone recommend a decent product for taming flyaway hairs? They are the bane of my life!

    Quick check-in to report a UU:
    S&G The Breakfast Scrub - WIBA? Yes I think so. Loved the smell, was tempted to try some then remembered xoxo had already reported back on that :rotfl:I've only ever tried Lush scrubs and Flakeaway and am all out of scrubs now - so yay!! I will buy a replacement though as I have 'dotty' (ingrown hairs?) legs and this combined with epilating instead of shaving seems to help. Maybe a M&S one I read about in a magazine.

    That's just shower gels to work my way through now :eek: I was going to buy a replacement conditioner and keep my mini to take on holiday but decided to uu the leave-in conditioner I have. (Writing that I realise why my hair looks/feels so dry - forgot to use it :o).

    Good luck with the interview Charlie, will keep my fingers crossed for you!

    Mcculloch thanks for the tip on the chai. I do like it so much, it's just difficult to find a nice tasting one though!

    I use a hair serum (frizz ease purple one super strength! or similar) before blow drying my hair. And if I have any other stray flyaway hairs I tend to just use a tiny amount of Vaseline. Just rub it onhands and smooth over hair.

    Afternoon :p

    Charlie - good luck for your interview! Great news about your reply :D

    A couple of UU's to report:
    Bastiste Brit: WIBA? yes - when I can find it cheap enough :p
    Planet Spa Japanese Rice and Sake Illuminating Face Treatment: WIBA? I would. I've been using it as a serum (TBH the instructions weren't that clear) The sachet lastest almost 2 weeks as I decanted into a BS tester pot. My face feels lovely and smooth when using it and it smells lovely and milky :D Not so sure about the 'illuminating' bit though.

    Back to the vets again today - hopefully Little Dogs meds are in - fingers crossed :cool:
