    UU - Benefit – Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow 'Honey'
    WMBA but it depends. It's not really my colour but I got it when my skin went inexplicably darker =/ Love the formula though :)

    UU - Rimmel – Stay Matte Pressed Powder 'Peach Glow'
    Is fine. WMBA but I don't really care which powder I use.. usually it's whatever's on offer. I really ought to look into them a bit better before buying a new one.


    Also: I have a question for you lovely experts.
    What can I re-purpose (if anything) ''Botanics – Gentle Cleansing Cream 'All Bright' x 2 & Botanics – Softening Cleanser '82% Organic''' into?
    I don't use them as cleansers and I'd rather not throw them away if I don't have to.

    HALP! :D
    New to this money saving lark. Any tips greatly received.

    Made a silly purchase today couldn't find any individual yankee Christmas eve votives . So bought the candy shop votive gift set as it had 2 of the Christmas eve votives . When I got home found I hated one of the other scents and unsure about 2 others. Better find someone to give them to.

    Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend.

    I have a small TA Liz Earl lip balm. WNBA not impressed with it and didn't like the smell.

    Also my Elemis shower gel is spluttering. I have lined up my last Balance Me GWM shower gel.

    I loved this after receiving it in a beauty box and used to be able to buy those teensy bottles quite cheaply on ebay, but it must have become much more popular as it now makes too high prices for me:(

    If you haven't used it before, you need a tiny amount, I read somewhere of someone using the whole bottle in three days:eek: I really do believe that it ironed out the wrinkles when I just used it on my upper lip and outskirts of lower eye sockets iyswim:)

    maddiemay - I think I have had two of these little bottles of serum before. I don't recall noticing a difference though.

    I have a uu

    Elizabeth Arden 5th Avenue 10ml - this isn't distinctive enough for me to buy again, I much preferred their Red Door. I am moving onto an impossibly cute 10ml bottle of Chloe - one of my absolute faves, shame it is so pricey.

    Ah, but I am a lot older than you and have a lot more wrinkles:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

  • sundaysgirl - Glad to hear my recommendation was helpful and that you're liking it! Its a very MSE downgrade lol.

    Got a fair few UUS to report since my internet last worked properly:

    Lush Sakura Bath Bomb
    - WDBA, loved the smell of this and left my skin feeling amazing.
    Sample of Ro's Argan Body conditioner - different consistency this time, actually quite liked it so may give it a go once I've cleared the stash.
    Egyptian Magic Cream 3ml sachet - eurgh! WNBA
    Diorskin Nude foundation sample pot - WMBA, was great coverage.
    Estee Lauder sumptus bold lifting mascara 3ml
    - WDBA looked more natural despite my pretty heavyhanded application.
    Ghost sweetheart 50ml - WNBA, was once my signature scent but this has been hanging around a while and think its a bit too sickly.
    Dior Ulitmate wrinkle reduction cream 3ml - cant comment on wrinkles but did smell and feel amazing but WNBA at least for another decade that is!
    Glamglow youthmud mask 15g - WNBA stung too much for me, got another in my stash so may give it another go at some point.
