    I am on a wee roll here with another UU - Richard Wood Body Lotion 100mls. WBA really like this now to UU the Dove one.

    Just TA YSL Shocking Mascara as it has been open so long and there was really very little left in it.

    I got this from House of Fraser on a deal and initially I really loved it. However over the time, it became clumpy a bit.

    Probably WNBA.

    I have couple of other mascaras to go through anyway!

    Welcome newbies.

    I have a few uu as I thought I would

    Elemis Tranquil Touch Bath Elixer 300ml - I would happily use this again as it is really lovely but there is no way I will actually buy it at full price.

    Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Wash 50ml - love this and have plenty more in the stash.

    Aromatherapy Associates Relax Light Bath Oil 10ml

    I am also busy decluttering incense sticks, tea lights and massive Yankee Candle jars. Does anyone have any tips on how to get the big jar candles to burn evenly, one wick just doesn't seem to give enough heat to melt the whole of the top? I do the foil trick but it takes forever and when I take it off some of the wax pool sets again.

    UU to declare from Saturday
    Travel bottle of Tres Emme shampoo (I decanted from a large bottle), which frees up another travel bottle for something else :) (Hoping to eventually have my travel and gym kits with travel bottles only, instead of having some full size tubes/bottles)

    Replaced with another travel bottle I'd previously decanted the same shampoo into.

    Another item gone from the PP list: L'occitane shea butter hand cream. This is a blessing at the moment. I have however brought a bottle of Molten Brown Mulberry and Thyme lotion into work as it is not getting used at home. Have half a bottle left and don't want it to go off.

    2x Philosophy Hope in a Jar (sachets) - god it stings if you get it in your eye! I think Philosophy is the brand I have been most disappointed in of all the ones I have wanted to try. I find everything I've tried really artificial and yuk.

    Me too. Whilst I love their shower products and fragrances their skincare does nothing for me at all.

    Well done. If you go to New York and don't buy anything it will be very wrong. xx

    You have to let the candle burn for three hours at least so that the wax melts and pools across the whole top surface. If it is burning unevenly I've taken a knife to it before now and whilst the wax is still hot (semi-solid) prize it away from the edges in on itself.

    HTH.

    OK two INs to report.

    I bought the L'occitane TSV on Saturday. I buy the liquid soap anyway so a little stash of this won't hurt. I will also use the other items in the kit.

    Someone posted a 20% off discount code for LE on another forum I belong to so I have had to order the 3 Limited Edition C&Ps. Would have been rude not to. And I also got the three free gifts even though the total of the order after discount was not £50.00. If anyone wants the code let me know.
