    UU:

    Ole Henriksen eye cream - WNBA, this did nothing that other creams cant do and is eye wateringly expensive for a full size.

    I've decided that life is too short to use toiletries I don't like.

    So this morning I threw away the last of a S&G daily butter - WNBA. It is too thick to squeeze out the tube and left my skin all greasy.

    TA - Paco Rabanne XS perfume 30ml. This had about 1/3 left in the bottle, and I've had it for about 8 years. Sick of it, so in the bin it went.

    UU - olay facial wipes. WNBA because I don't use facial wipes to clean my face, I was using these to clean the mascara off my eyelash comb.

    Hope everyone is well xxx

    A small UU - a 100ml BS Cassis Rose body lotion that a friend gave me, unloved. I can't buy it as it's not a current product.

    It was very pleasant to use, lovely scent but unlike the body butters, the lotions aren't worth the premium price you pay, imo.

    So no BA. But for a product that was a few years old - had to be - it did really well. The fragrance hadn't disappeared, and it didn't perform oddly on the skin.
    Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.
  • At last a UU, everything seems to be lasting forever at the moment - I know this makes them more mse, but it also makes them pretty boring too.

    anyway - UU Clinique facial soap - I used to love using this but now find it too harsh so probably wnba.

    also I started to use the S&G puff from one of their gift sets today, I heard a pop and watched as the whole thing unravelled and my shower was a mass of pink streamers, not impressed at all.

    happy pampering, xo

    Hello all!

    1 UU: Herbal Essences beautiful ends shampoo 400ml WIBA? No, I think it left my hair greasy, so I gave the last 5-10 uses to OH. He washes his hair every day anyway. This is the second last bottle of shampoo given to me by my friend who moved away last year :j only one more to go!

    I have a spluttering day cream which i've cut open, a very light feeling deodorant, and these dregs of moisturiser to UU this month.

    Hope everyone has had a good day :)
