    I bet she did!! Did it taste better than Breakfast Scrub xoxo? :rotfl:

    Worse! _pale_

    It was a very soapy taste, whereas breakfast scrub was just really salty.

    I tasted the raspberry scrub twice on separate occasions just to make sure it was definitely the scrub I was tasting:o:rotfl::rotfl:

  • Evening all,

    I am off to a blistering start in October with 4 UU :j

    Clinique Deep Comfort body butter GWP size - WNBA as a body butter because I have so many of them to UU, but I used this up as a hand cream and it worked just fine! It's probably not too expensive if you buy a big tube of this compared to the same amount of hand cream either.

    Avon Lotus Shield hair treatment sachet - WNBA as I don't think it made any difference to my hair.

    Valentino V perfume sample vial - I do like the smell of this but have no need to buy any perfumes for a long time!!

    Winnie the Pooh (:o) Heather Honey lip balm - WNBA, I picked up a pack of 3 lip balms in Semi-Chem last year for the mega sum of £2 or so and thankfully am now on to the last one. Must stop impulse buying!!

    I was in Boots at the weekend (and only topped up my phone, how good was I!!) and had a quick look at the xmas aisles and wasn't that impressed. I thought it was all very much the same products as last year with slightly different packaging, so I am hoping I will be able to resist and only actually buy as presents for other people :rotfl:

    Hugs to Flirtini and everyone else who needs one xx

    It's definitely another way to get through the stash!!

    It helps with the diet too - definitely don't feel like dinner when your mouth tastes like you've been drinking shampoo! :rotfl: Win win situation :D

  • That's one way to go on a diet xoxo! :rotfl:

    First UU of October. :D (and my first ever of the challenge seeing as this is my first month@)

    Aussie Volume conditioner - WNBA as I found it was *too* light for my hair, which is really fine. I'm now using a Herbal Essences Uplifting Volume conditioner which I like. It's good at detangling without being *too* heavy on silicones.

    I think I only have one more use left of my BS Shea scrub which I'll be glad to see the back of! Not a fan as it leaves a very slippery oily scum over my shower. :mad:

    I also threw away one item - Burts Bees lipbalm (the original one). WNBA as it did nothing for my lips! I got to near the end and it started to get a bit icky. Lucky I have Carmex (HG) instead.
  • Loving the nail varnishes might have to check them out!

    UU Balance me rose shower gel from latest in beauty box, found it good for lather but the smell was sickly.

    oh well I don't need to try it now, does look very much liek jam though ...:p
    I have 1 UU - Neutrogena conditioner, inherited from my grandmother's belongings 2 1/2 years ago. I think she was a bit of a hoarder and I'm slowing working my way through her toileteries :o
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    On the subject of NVs, next months Glamour mag has a free full size Nails Inc NV with it - only 3 different colours iirc...
    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup
