    I have a uu

    Clarins Multi Active Night Cream - 30ml, this was a very generous GWP, I have used this off and on for about 20 years and it is a nice night cream, I don't see any spectacular results but then I don't from anything really despite what the companies claim. I have another in the stash but am moving onto an Elemis one for now.

    I take it you haven't been using the same 30ml for 20 years? :eek:

    the (expensive) hairdressers but as I may be getting married soon I'm gonna keep my hair the way it is for now (bar this dye which washes out in about 2 weeks max anyway)

    you slipped that in very quietly? Intrigued by the 'may be'! More details please! :)

    Morning ladies

    Uu body shop ginger sparkle shower gel, a bit 'meh', reminded me of ginger cordial, not unpleasant but there are others i prefer so wnba. Back to the vat sized bottle of l'occitane almond now for a while, I'm not that enamoured with it either but it's going to be around for some time , ah well.

    Happy pampering xo

    One OUT this morning - Head & Shoulders Apple Fresh Anti-Dandruff Shampoo sample. WMBA as a gym shampoo as it smelt nice and my hair feels quite soft, but I don't have dandruff so not sure I need it.

    Also my Soap & Glory Peaches And Clean cleanser is spluttering on me so I may have to buy a new cleanser soon. It is annoying as there's a good inch of it left but I've no idea how to get it out! It's a pump bottle design but rounded so probably in the too difficult category to cut up...

    Finally a UU - Boots Expert handcream WBA bur have lots of BS hemp to use up first :o and they are the HG.
    Also have the l'occtaine hand creams to collect from f/b. Have asked my BF as he works nearby but he'd not been in yet :( hopefully he'll get them today but I've been asking him for a week :mad:

    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    How about taking the pump out and leaving it up-ended over a small tub? I'd have thought letting gravity pull most of it out and then giving it a good shake would work.

    Lol! Yeah well we've been together forever (12yrs) and since we technically got engaged in 2009 and we only just got round to getting me an engagement ring (with 3 young girls the money was always needed for something else) so I thought I'd better just get the wedding bit over and done with or it would never happen lol (so romantic, me!)

    Anyways it's official as of today....it's gonna be on 23rd May this yr....just a small thing!
