    Lush herbalism cleanser - smelly, messy and did nothing for my skin and now out of date (by quite a long way)

    Lush tea tree toner - another I didnt get along with and again out of date.

    Evening everyone, been a slow month for me have a few UU though

    Sanctuary 150ml body butter - WBA lovely and creamy made my skin so soft. I have another 3 in the stash so alternating stuff so I dont get bored! have a large sanctuary body lotion that I'm dreading opening as I know its going to last for ever!!

    LUSH bubble bar - not sure what one but I love these and think I prefer them to the bath bombs! only ever buy in the sale but I think once my bath product stash is gone I will treat myself:-)

    I have some hand cream spluttering at work and really looking forward to finishing it! I have NEVER bought a hand cream (always a present or part of a gift set) and I've never used one up lol....it will be a grand occasion when i actually get another one out of the stash:-)

    Hi again :)

    I have one TA to report

    No7 Moisture Drench Lipstick in Highland Mist - Very frosty browny colour, had a sort out of my lipsticks and realised I'm never going to wear it! Had tried it on a few times though, not keen. WNBA!

    And one UU to report

    S&G Endless Glove Hand Mask - THE BEST HAND CREAM EVER! Imho :D WBA - Kind of sad I'm going to have to use up some of my Hand Food before I can buy anymore lol.

    1 OUT to report:

    Pantene Aqua Clear shampoo. WMBA if it's on offer (and if I go back to sulfates). This bottle was huge, and lasted ages. I swapped it halfway through when my hair got too used to it, and used the last of it up as hand soap.

    I have a few items nearing the end, and would have loved to have a proper pamper weekend to use a few things up while I had the house to myself, but we had no hot water, so I'll just have to save it for this weekend instead, and hope my housemates don't need the bathroom for a loooong time!

    Oh thank you for the recommendation, I'll look that up next time I'm in Boots. I've not heard of it to be honest, which is quite something for me! :)

    Anne French cleansing milk has been around since the Fifties/Sixties and perhaps before. It was the original cleanser, I wonder if it still comes in that oddly shaped bottle? Must Google.
    I think I was always too short of cash to try it, though I know my big sis used it to take make up off. I've never worn that much make up.

    Posted the above and then completely forgot that I'd come on here to say that my Scholl Pedi has arrived, not used it yet, but I will do. It looks very cute, but efficient too.

    I used to use Anne French cleansing milk when I was a teenager and have used it a couple of times since, it is very effective. It has a unique smell, pleasant enough I found, also I believe it has formaldehyde in it so should be good at preserving the skin :rotfl:

    I have two uu

    Percy & Reed shampoo
    Percy & Reed conditioner

    these were both Glamour freebies last year, they were nice enough but based on the full price I WNBA. I have replaced them with Herbal Essences Fresh Balance shampoo and conditioner, both 400ml so they should last quite a while.
