Has anyone on here bought primark lip balm tins and not been able t open them? I've not added them to my list as I've not been able to open them!! Very nearly chucked them. But I've kept them in the hope my brother can get them open for me when he returns from uni. I managed to get one open once and used once but I wrestled with it for literally ages. Shame as the lip balm itself is really nice and the flavours are nice I've got peach and watermelon. I want to use them but they are good as useless if I can't open the tins!
I haven't tried them. I seem to remember Vaseline tins being had to open until they changed the design too.
Fiasco - hope you get your bathroom sorted quickly.
Willowbee - everytime I see a review about Kerastase people seem a bit meh, for the price they should be raving. I've never tried anything from them and haven't been tempted.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I have a couple of uu
Garnier Ultimate Beauty Body Oil - WNBA, for two reasons, firstly I am not really that fond of body oils except the Clarins Tonic one which I mix in with my body lotion and secondly the ridiculously stupidly shaped packaging, you cannot hold and pump with one hand.
Elemis Exotic Cream Moisturising Mask 15ml - this was nice to have over winter and I got quite a few uses out of this but I probably WNBA.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

One UU to report
Body Shop Moringa Body Butter - not sure I'm keen on the smell but still good hydrating.
I prefer others such as Shea Butter or Vitamin E and have couple of them to go throughally.0 -
1 UU from the weekend. Lush Rub Rub Rub – WNB. I do really like Lush stuff, but I find it a bit too expensive for how long the products last, so I only really get them as gifts.
Also, I dropped my The Balm mary Lou Manizer highlighter this morning, and it smashed all over the bathroom floor. I am gutted! I scooped up some bits to put back in the compact and I'm hoping I will still be able to use up the dregs, but I'm really annoyed by that.No more goo hoarding!

Molton brown gingerlily, pink pepperpod, black peppercorn body lotions- all 100ml so only used for a couple of applications. My fave is pink pepperpod and i would probably repurchase as the smell of the lotion stays all day and its an effective moisturiser.
I like Molton Brown but do find it expensive for what it is. Would love to try the pepper pod fragrance though. Will have to keep an eye out for a TSV when I'm getting low on shower gels.Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge.

Oddly enough I'm having trouble opening the Fat Face lip balms that I got for Christmas. I'm trying to keep the lid loose on the one I'm using but keep forgetting and having to ask my husband to open it again!0
