    Rodial Glam Balm Lip - really like it so far, it's very moisturizing and only a small amount is needed. Great for dry chapped winter lips! :T

    Used Up
    Nude Skincare Smoothing Body Refiner - one of my favourite products, it's a pity they discontinued it, though fortunately I have one bottle left. Haven't seen any "slimming" effects like it claims but when used after showering, it makes my skin so so soft. Would absolutely buy again if available...
  • Used up:
    Garnier gentle eye makeup remover. WIBA? Yes, I think it's a really good product. My eyes are sensitive but I don't like oily cleansers. However, there is absolutely no need to have both the Garnier and my beloved Bioderma, so I probably won't repurchase.

    Lush orangeblossom 10ml atomiser. Didn't actually use this up, it leaked in my bag. Gutted! At least it was only 10ml, and now my bag smells lovely. WIBA? Yes! I love this stuff! But have filled the metal atomiser with my usual cologne, which I want to use up (I don't know why though, because I will repurchase my cologne for all eternity!)

    Good afternoon ladies. I hope everyone is well. I am back from my Las Vegas holiday and have tried to keep some control over my holiday toiletries spending to a certain degree (well compared to the last few times in the US :o). So I managed to UU 20 items but bought 23. I did get through a few of my travel sized products which have been sitting in the stash for a while now.

    Not gonna be able to catch up on the pages and pages I have missed so will just drop back in here.

    Last night I did a PYN using OPI Samoan Sand with Sally Hansen Nailshine on top. I think this is my 'mannequin hands' nail polish. I can tell I've got something shiny on my nails but they look 'nude' in photos.

    What are you all wearing on your fingers/toes?

    :D Im wearing a golden retriever on my hands (and lap) and ive got a dark reddish colour on my toes - its a Nails Inc one, but cant remember which one.

    one UU - only a deodorant though. got a few splutterers though they arent going to go this month.

    actually only really come in here to say that I will be doing the draw for the secret santa over the weekend - so if anyone else wants to join in, dont forget to PM me (on here or on facebook!) your address, your name (and your name on here!) and any strong likes/dislikes and I will sort you out :)
    Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup
  • Hi all,
    1 UU: TBS Rainforest Shine shampoo 250ml- WIBA? Yes, eventually once I work through my stash. A good silicone-free shampoo.

    I have finally got to try my T*sco Cucumber face wipes! They are very much like the Vitamin E ones T*sco used to do (I really liked those).

    Hope everyone had a good Monday.

    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
