I've almost finished S&G hand food but really don't like it. The smell is overwhelming, I can smell it when I eat even when I've washed my hands. I have a BS almond hand cream in the stash which is lovely, should I just throw away the remaining S&G, or leave it by the sink and hope somebody uses it despite the bright pink packaging?

hope you're all well:)

I'd throw it away - I had a pump bottle of this lotion that I ended up taking to work and "encouraging" everyone to use as I am not a big fan of the fragrance or texture of this one. It actually went off before it was finished. If you can't find a use for it like this or give it to someone get rid. x

Morning all - just dropping by quickly to report a couple of UUs so a good start to the week for me:

Smashbox i-prime - I like this - no need to BA as have another 2 in my stash from an autodelivery set from the Q. It has 2 parts but I just use the concealer bit under my eyes - I don't bother with the bit that's supoposed to minimise wrinkles as this bit didn't work for me - maybe because my skin is a bit dry? Anyhow the concealer bit really is great for covering dark shadows.

Decleor arromessence rose d'orient - WBA but have plenty in my stash still though. Have moved on to a neroli one now to go under my hydra floral moisturiser.

My daughter tells me that the toiletries usually fly off the shelves at the Aldi she works at ZoeL . The name of the nose strips is Purederm - you can get them elsewhere too, apparently.

Yep, I remember when that Aldi Lacura serum was in the news for being the best anti-wrinkle cream around, it sold out in most stores!! :rotfl:

Hope everyone is enjoying the Easter break I have a small UU from yesterday

UU Rimmel Wake Me Up Foundation 200 soft beige 1.5ml sachet WNBA the colour was too dark for me and didn't like the coverage, removed after a couple of hours trial wear to find my skin had gone bright red. I have another sachet of this in the stash, which will get added to the GA pile and will list as an out when its gone.

I have tried a sachet of a BB cream today and wasn't happy with it, there is another use left in the sachet so will give it another go. I think I may need to give up on BB creams.

I may spend the rest of the month trying to UU some of the full size items I already have open rather than opening more mini's, so may not have many more UU this month. Really looking forward to this months Amarya box though.

I had a foaming shower gel I didn't like so using that on my legs as shaving foam now, its more like shaving gel anyway.

No ins this weekend.

Hi folks

A couple of UU for me:

Mavala Nail Polish Remover Pads - WNBA - I found these tricky to use. Prefer a bottle and cotton pads

10ml L’Occitane Dry Skin Hand Cream, GWP - WBA, of course, being my beloved L'Occitane lol. But as previously advised, I wont be buying hand cream for at least 20 years, if ever!

UU?? Thats what you think, mwah-ha-ha-ha.... (rubs hands together in an eeeevil fashion....) it will chase you around and wait till you least expect it, sneaking up on your collection, and just when you think its safe to open the box..... :eek:

If it was me (which I think it must be?) Im going away tuesday afternoon and Im not back until Sunday night - so please dont be offended when I dont say thankyou for it till then !!!!

Welcome newbies, hugs to people who need them and extra hellos and hugs just in case for next week. Will be thinking of you all as Im getting millions of UUs attempting to look gorgeous next week - apparently the ex (who is STILL texting me every day!!) could well be there Thursday with a horse as well as the two on Friday, so for BOTH those days I have to look good (and one of the new ones who will be there Thursday probably to support his brother if his horse gets into the foxhunters,so need to look good in case i see him too ) :A
the things we do eigh??!!!!


one UU from the last weekend away - S&G body butter, little tub. WIBA? probably not, prefer the ted baker one.

oh - and as for nose pore strips - they are great, but make my nose tickle REALLY badly !!!!

Afternoon all, I am jumping on the bandwagon for the rest of April. I had a tidy up in the bathroom at the weekend and was horrified at how many half used things I have. I am buying no more makeup nor toiletries until I have made a hole in what I have. This is going to take willpower and resolve as seem to be in a bit of a buying frenzy of late. I have a couple of favourites coming to an end, and can't seem to find them in the shops at the moment. I have bought countless lipsticks in the vain hope that they will match one of my old fave Rimmels which seem to have been discontinued. Pointless as I dislike the new ones.
going to the gym wher I can formulate an action plan.
have a great day all

Another UU : 200ml bottle of Elemis Balancing Lime Cleanser. My HG. Have a new one in the stash but have to use up a Melting Cleansing Gel first.
