    20 ebay outs

    UU
    500ml S&G Calm one Calm all bubble bath - WNBA a few more to go from gift sets but I think there are more effective bubbles from cheaper alternatives.

    Crazy Soap bath paint (blue) - WMBA in the distant future by daughter loves these but tends to overdo them - today she was bright blue all over after she painted every inch which would have been OK but they tend to tint if its not washed off in a reasonable time.

    Evening all, I have my first UU and Ins (:o) for the month.

    UU a BS Oceanus body spray - I definitely bought this when I was at university so its somewhere between 12-15 years old :eek: In fairness to it, it kept its fragrance right up til the end! I don't think I WBA, I have gone off the fragrance somewhat in the years since I bought it :D

    I bought make up in the SD 3 for 2, a Max Factor Facefinity compact which I wanted for my holidays, a face powder compact which was totally necessary because I don't have any left in the stash and a mascara which was almost necessary because I only have one left unopened. At least I didn't buy any more lipgloss or eyesahdow, I have a lifetime stash of these :rotfl:

    2 more UUs to report -

    Champneys Manicure Soak Ball
    This is the last of these in my stash - it was ok... It's been in my stash for years, I'm pretty sure I got it in a gift set from Sainsburys. WMBA if I could find them at Boots...

    Gorgeous by Gok Warming Hand & Foot Scrub
    This has been spluttering for ages (it was starting to sound like it was farting!):rotfl: WNBA - ok for what it is but not keen on the scent which I find a bit overpowering.

    Two UUs:

    Simple Eye make up remover: WiBA? No, it left an oliy residue on my eyelids and irritated my eyes.

    Lacoste Touch of Pink: Given to me as a birthday present last year, WNB it smelt nice when sprayed on but the scent did not last long.

    One more UU as it will be a while before my next check in.

    Garnier Deodorant 250ml. WBA but have 3 more in the stash.

    Have bags packed and am heading to Vietnam for 2 weeks, so all the travel size, half used bottles are coming with me. Hopefully there will be more UUs to report in a couple of weeks.

    UU's TBS Vitamin E body butter - loads more tubs in the stash
    TBS white musk perfume WBA love this
    Clinique dramatically different moisturiser WBA but got loads of others to UU first.
    L'oreal hair expertise shampoo Wmba I like this but my scalp does not
    E45 shampoo HG this calms my scalp down
    TBS ginger sparkle body scrub WMBA not very scrubby but wasn't unpleasant to use.

    Silly question - but what is this supposed to do? I got some of this to trial a while back and although it made my hair soft and less wayward I didnt feel the wow factor and wondered whether I was using it wrong and missing something.

    I have fine hair which is prone to frizz in warm weather, I use this once a week, I wet my hair, slap it on, put a shower cap on and leave for about an hour then rinse and dry naturally. The next day I shampoo and condition as normal and my hair feels really soft, smooth and strong and the effects seem to get more noticeable as the week goes on. It doesn't weigh my hair down either.

    I have recently started using a Dove roll on deodorant and wasn't expecting much but it is really, really good, I have been busy in the warm weather and had no wetness or stickiness at all, I think it is even better than Mitchum.
