Thanks FizzWhizz. Want to avoid topping up powder as don't want to look caked and/or tone down my blush etc. Plus it's a bit of a faff, whereas papers are a very quick fix, and knowing my luck I'd end up getting it on my dress! Also want to keep baggage to a minimum as it's all going in my lovely mum's handbag!

I used to use papers years ago but never found any that wowed me. Hoping to find some of the non-powder ones IYKWIM, i.e. I want ones that absorb oil/shine but don't leave a powder residue.

I have some kleenex ones which I love! They seem to be discontinuing all their beauty type stuff face wipes/cotton wool sheets/ the whole lot however plus side to that is currently they seem to be in a lot of 99p/poundshops/B&M/Homebargains type places ... Well as long as you get there before me they are! :P

dolly84 - well done on the not buying anything for yourself! I'm not sure I'm ever going to manage that, my current strategy is to write out a list when I first start on a campaign then by the end I manage to talk myself out of most of it lol.

VALM - I am very jealous I love Jack Whitehall!! x

I've seen him a few times recently at my local comedy club, XS Malarkey. £3 :whistle:

He's very cheeky on stage but super sweet off.

A few more uu's for me

Ever riche intensive conditioner - wnba, it was ok but nothing special.
Liz Earle skin tints - wnba, it was only a sample size but I wasn't impressed.
Superdrug peel off mask - wmba, it was quite nice and left my skin feeling soft.

I am almost at the end of a tube of hand food, cannot wait for it to be finished. It seems to have lasted forever.

IN ModelCo mascara - I'm not getting along with my current mascara, so thought I'd get this one instead as it was free with this months Glamour. I'll hold onto the old one on the off-chance B**ts do another Clinique swap.

Firstly the UU:
1. Boots extracts mango body butter (50ml)
2. Body Shop strawberry shower gel (250ml)
3. Boots cranberry body wash (75ml)
4. Soap and Glory flake away (50ml)
I love all of these products so WBA...just got to use up the stockpile I have first!


And the naughty INS:
1. MUA Pro-base primer - technically not unnecessary as didn't have any.
2. MUA shimmerkisses blusher - still trying to find a suitable replacement for my beloved discontinued Rimmel blusher before it runs out.
3. MUA colourblast eyeshadow tint - free with the above two. Didn't need, but wasn't going to leave a freebie behind!
4. Percy and Reed wonder balm - Free gift, but actually the only reason I purchased the magazine.

Re: Shiny bits

Have you tried a primer? I have a friend who's a shiny person and she uses the clinique pore minimiser one...you'd never know she was a shiny person! Sometimes she just wears the primer instead of base. It's quite sheer though.

Good evening everyone :hello:

I have a UU to report! :j :j To be honest, I'm almost giddy with excitement.

L’Occitane Verbena body lotion - WNBA - far too greasy and took ages to sink into my skin. Having said that, I think it was a GWP so I didn't waste any money.

I've just counted up how many body lotions I have left in my stash and it's 21. :eek: How depressing. I'm actually feeling quite down about that.

Gosh this thread moves quickly. Hope everyone is well. Happy belated Birthday.

UU's
Father Christmas bath ballisitc WNBA nice enough but not a favourite

Bathos bubble bar WDBA love this one and considering it is nearly 2 years old it still smell devine. I have been stashing these still have 5 left but I am going to use them up whilst they still are good.

Enchanted yellow submarine shower gel WNBA simply because it smelt of bananas and I don't like the smell.

Yves Rocher vanilla shower gel (400ml) WBA really liked it, I have used it mostly for bubble bath and in hand wash despenser. I could still smell it on my hands an hour after use.

Enchanted oats and honey sugar scrub WNBA Lovely scrub but I prefer other scents.

Enchanted bliss whipped soap WBA I use whipped soaps mainly for shaving and they do a lovely job.

NB Citrus shine body butter WNBA these are so thick almost like a massage bar rather than a body butter. I am trying to use these up before the weather gets too warm. Another 3 to go but alteast they are small pots so very easy to UU.

Neutrogena concentrated hand cream WBA HG for me

Neutrogena nail and hand cream WMBA not as good as their concentrated version.

Tigi catwalk hair conditioner WNBA lasted well but did very little to my hair. I have kept the bottel as I like the pump dispenser as I seem to use less as I can control how much I use.

Phyto hair mask WNBA I liked it when I first started using it but as it went on it did not seem to do much for my hair.

Este lauder advance time zone cream 5 ml WNBA nice enough but did not think it was anything special.

INS
2 items from You beauty box ( body shop cleanser and another cleanser but can't remember what it is called).
