  • Is it wrong to feel so jealous when you read other people's lists :D

    Just off to hopefully finish up the tube of body lotion that I cut open this morning :cool:

    I have another UU Boss Boss Orange Body Lotion 50ml - WNBA love the perfume, but hate perfumed body lotions prefer more naturally fragranced products.
  • And into the garbage can goes: Estee Lauder's Pleasures body lotion. No perfume smell left and frankly it's probably off. Got hidden during the bathroom reno of '11. Would only buy again if it came in a tube and in a smaller quantity.

    INS:

    Essence eyeliner pencil and matching eyeshadow. In my defense, together they were less than $6.00 and they were made in Germany and Italy. Usually when stuff is that cheap it's made in China.

    just been standing in front of the bathroom mirror rubbing fake tan on my b**bs:rotfl:to fill in the white bits so the stuff from beauty boxes finally came in useful!

    Welcome Parisian. Can you tell me what teeth strips are please?

    Have a uu - Dr Nick Lowe Oil free day cream - 15ml. This was from an LIB box. I really liked this and WBA when needed, it was nicely moisturising and felt nice on. Have replaced it with an already open GWP size Clinique superdefense. I opened this in summer as it is SPF25 and my foundation had no spf in it. This is very light and lovely for something with so much spf.

    Haha, hope it works! I really need to wear fake tan more often, I have about 4 bottles of it, all open.

    UU this morning:

    La Roche-Posay Hydraphase UV Intense moisturser: WMBA. I didn't like this at first but when I started using other skincare products that were more suitable for my skin, it was quite a nice day moisturiser. Might get again next summer. Now onto a Superdrug one, fingers crossed it's good as it's a fraction of the price! I've yet to find a moisturiser under £10 that works for me.

    A couple of UU to report

    Pantene brunette conditioner - I know Pantene is supposed to be bad for your hair but I love it, makes my hair lovely and soft.
    Imperial leather shower gel, the maroon one. Love the smell of this and WBA if I didn't have at least a 3 year supply of shower gel waiting to be used!
    Burts Bees radiance shower gel. I really like this (just as well as I have 5 full sized bottles in the stash) but it's very runny and you seem to have to use a lot so not very :money:
    I also UU a few sample sachets of shampoo and conditioner whilst on my long weekend away.

    I think Pantene is only "bad" for your hair if your hair doesn't agree with silicones. Mine's really fine and flat so Pantene weighs it down so much (except for the Aqua Light one). If you've really thick hair, the "weight" can be good in that it smooths the hair - you can get build-up though making it seem greasy after a while.
