I finally have UU's
1) Soap n glory shower gel- the one with the pump top- WNBA unless on deal or as part of a set in 50% off etc as its okay not outstanding for the £6+ price tag I thought.
2) nip & fab glycolic exfoliating facial pads WBA if they were on deal, quiet good exfoliates and gentle to use & brighten you up.
3) Original ghost perfume - WBA I love the scent and I have plenty more in stash0 -

If you turn it over where the label is, you should see the bottom is just a plastic disc inserted into the plastic body. I wedged a knife under that lip and the bottom popped right off.
Oh I see, I will have a look later, I thought there must be some way of getting the things open as they had to get the product in there in the first place. I find the click and go tops messy in normal use, as you try to tip it into the lid more just keeps getting caught around the clicky area iyswim.mad_scientist wrote: »Thanks for posting this, I bought one of these last year and have never worked out how to use it!
I was hoping I could use it instead of dry shampoo but it just seemed to make my hair wet!
I'll have another go with it now
You're welcome.
I have a uu - this was a LHJ but not one that I suffered through though:
Aldi Lacura concealer - this was a rather smart looking clicky pen type concealer and it could also be used as an eye primer. I mainly used it as a primer, it concealed any redness on my eyelids and my eye makeup lasted well plus it is only £3.99 or thereabouts. I think if you suffer very oily eyelids it may not be as good for you as UD Primer Potion or Shadow Insurance. I have already bought a replacement but for now have gone back to an already opened tube of Too Faced Shadow Insurance.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Woops I forgot another uu
Dr Haushka Rose Body Oil - this was a mini from the try me set I won at Christmas, I got 1 and a half full body uses out of this tiny bottle, it smelt nice, not too strong a rose fragrance but that said I WNBA, I imagine it will be expensive and I am not a huge fan of body oils.
As this only did my top half after my bath last night I opened a tub of Johnsons Dreamy Skin body cream - this is really lovely, very fluffy and light and the smell is gorgeous (along the lines of Avon sleeptherapy range) and it lingered for ages. At the moment I am using Avon Sleeptherapy pillow mist and even DH commented on the lovely smell at bedtime.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I have a couple of UU from a weekend away but everything else seems to be huge and only just opened so I will just lurk in the shadows for a while ....
REN face wash - was nice and WBA but think I have found my HG in the Balance Me face wash
REN moisturiser - WBA, very nice and didn't make my skin greasy like some do.
Tresemme shampoo and conditioner minis - WBA
Happy Easter everyone

Wood whoop another UU although I'm still tackling all the minis a 30 ml tube of Lancôme Gel Éclat Pearly foam face wash 'for even sensitive skin'. I have to say I really liked the fragrance and the wash has a soapy and creamy texture that I loved when rubbing on. It makes your face seem squeaky clean, and for that I would recommend that if your skin is dry you should stay away as the squeaky ness become drying after getting out the shower. A good moisturiser will rectify but still, not what I would pay a premium brand for. I WBA if on offer but have many other face washed to get through first. Now just opened a S&G one.No purchasing unnecessary toiletries

I need to get some basic things like cover-up and cotton wool so I decided to order online so as not to be too tempted by everything in store. I now have a basket with various flashing things as missed offers and I'm freaking out a bit!Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:
