Sanctuary Bath float - WMBA if on offer. We have fairly soft water deep down here in the West Country but that being said I still needed to use lots to get a foam.
I find this with the Sanctuary Bath Float too. Doesn't last very long because of this0 -
I've used up a nail varnish remover today but as that's a necessity for me I've had to replace it.
What I didn't need to also buy today though was two new lipsticks, some make up primer, MUA palette (similar to the Naked one) and two nail varnishes. I actually got all of my nail varnishes out when I got home and I have FIFTY FIVE :eek:0 -
OH! I forgot that I also bought two shampoos and two conditioners. I don't feel guilty about these though as I planned to buy some anyway as I'm running out of my best stuff and this was on BOGOF, so was less than £4 for all four bottles.
What do people suggest I do with bottles of stuff I just know I won't use? Do you give them to your friends etc even if they've obviously been opened and used a bit?0 -

There is always the Give and Make-Up that people on here have talked about. Hopefully someone will be along soon and tell you more about it. I'm sure I read somewhere that they take used products but am most probably wrong.
Hope this helps.

Hi TimBear! I would give them away to whoever wanted, as long as you tell them it's already been used there's not much wrong with that is there?
I think it's better to pass on to someone to use than throw away
Although i had several items i KNOW are atleast 3 yrs old and beyond use so i had to throw those outI hate wastage, even more so when it's out of my pocket :rotfl:

A UU for me, Patons Nail Polish Remover Pads, WMBA depending on price, can't actually remember where I bought these! They did the job ok but I wouldn't go out of my way to look for them!
Have replaced with some Primark ones, seem very flimsy in comparison but seem to do the job just as well!Addicted to MSE, I can't resist a bargain0 -
A little non-toiletry slip up today, in all fairness I do need new underwear, found my favourite bra (the Fiore plunge bra by Lepel) in pink and a pretty jade blue for £11 each - treated myself0
