Afternoon! Does anyone want to join Boots Review Panel? I'm on it, you get sent free products to try and all you need to do is leave a review on the Boots website, no endless surveys or anything. They are especially after women aged 35 and over who dye their own hair, but they will consider you nevertheless. Let me know if you're interested and I'll message you
Oh yes please! I always read the reviews and always wonder what you have to do to get on the review panel! Havent done my hair in ages but would be willing to do so for free! xNo buying un-necessary toiletries challenge - Start total: 235. Current total: 273!!0 -
UU L'Oreal lip pastel repair WBA but they dont make it anymore got another one on my desk and one more in the stash. Lovely balm gloss that is brill for chapped lips.
UU Philosophy Purity 30ml WBA got another mini and a medium bottle in the stash. Loved this hasnt upset my skin at all and has also helped the horrible spots on my neck go down (although that also may be as I have cut dairy out as it appears I may have a lactose intolerance).0 -
Life got the better of me this month
UU:
Biore Revitalize 4in1 self foaming cleanser 200ml. Took forever. Found it in the boys bathroom and decided to use it because they weren't. Didn't like the smell and don't get the Biore love. Got a few more of their products tucked away in the stash.
Olay Regenerist wrinkle resolutions complex 7ml. Last of two samples I had. Would consider it, if it's still made when I need to buy facial stuff again (which might be around 2020).
Kamill Cosmetics wellness shower in Silky Milk. 250ml. Lightly scented didn't leave a residue. Would buy again if I didn't have to go to a German deli/importer on the other side of town to get it
Abba pure performance hair care Pure Color Protect conditoner. 200ml. Nice and smooth hair. However it's Vegan and it stinks. Highly unlikely I'd ever buy it again as it was a one off in a discounter chain.
TA:
Dalton Lash Fix Tilting Mascara. Confused me too, the name. There's a little part of the cap that moves so you can pivot the brush. It went clumpy and chunks came out of the tube and made a mess. Life's too short to !!!!!! around with this. Have two more in the never ending stash of gwp mascaras.
Gave my GlossyBox straight to one of the boy's girlfriends as it was stuff I'd never use.
Oh, and a Garnier BB cream that was too light for me went to a co-worker.
I also walked away from what I thought would be my dream job but it turned out I was outandout lied to about the duties.
I feel good. I'm not unemployed, I just go back to my old job. The beauty of unions.
Over here Mother's Day is in May, so I'll have to wait. Glad all of you were well looked after.0 -
All used up this weekend:
9 - L'Occitane cleaning milk. Lovely. Would buy again.
10 - Simple vital vitamin night cream. Holy grail cream! Will replace when everything is gone.
11 - Simple anti-wrinkle eye cream. Made my eyes gritty and itchy. Had to use up as body lotion.
12 - maybelline super stay 24hr liquid cover up. Would buy again.Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

Evening ladies
Belated Happy birthday to happytorty and dollly, sounds like you both received some gorgeous gifts, enjoy them all, xo
Have some uu's:
Super drug B pure micellar water, I've never used this type of cleanser before, and to be honest l'm in no rush to use one again, this left a sticky residue which I really didn't like, WNBA
Aussie 3 minute miracle conditioner, love the scent of this and it does a great job, wba
Super drug vitamin E hot cloth cleanser, this is thick and creamy, it's just as effective as some of the more expensive brands but at a fraction of the price, have more in the stash
T.A s&g hand cream, found this languishing in a handbag that I rarely use, true to form it had gone off!
Happy pampering, xo0 -

EDIT: Sorry, got it wrong, you would need to be over 35, the dyeing your own hair thing is negotiable x
If you room to refer someone else could you put me down? Am only 36 but I do dye my hair!

I also find this in Lush. I know they are only doing their job but I would much rather look around and test things and ask if I need help. I have been really put off testing Benefit products at the counters. I may try at a nearby town and see if that counter is any different!
I would contact the manager of these shops and speak to them and tell them how you all feel about their sales approach. They would appreciate the feedbackNo Buying Unnecessary Toiletries Challenge
