    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 stash

    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.
    Thanks for posting this, I bought one of these last year and have never worked out how to use it! :o 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 :D

    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.

    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.

  • UU Etat Pur Micellar water WMBA I used this as eye makeup remover and it was very good, no stinging and removed mascara all ok. I dont really use liquid cleanser so this was a good way to use it up.

    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.

    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:
