    Long time lurker here! I've been following these threads for a while now although I've clearly not understood the purpose of them because I've been reading reviews and then going out and buying the stuff people have decided they WBA :rotfl:.

    I have a ridiculous amount of toiletries, makeup, nail polish, etc to use up so I'd like to join if I can?

    Oh dear - our reviews are obviously a bit too good.

    Welcome to the thread.

    I have an out

    Bare Minerals Original Foundation 2g in Light - sold this on ebay as it is way too yellow for me, I do love the finish though. Hardly worth bothering selling it really as after fees, postage and paypal fees I only ended up with a couple of quid.

    I will have an in in the next couple of days, I have bought a Garnier 2 in 1 eye roll on from ebay. I absolutely love this stuff and it has been discontinued and replaced with a BB version (for heavens sake does everything have to be BB??), most annoying is the fact that the original was 15ml and the new one is £9 and 7ml:eek:.

    I have an itty bitty uu

    Roger & Gallet Fleur de Figuier 10ml, this came in my advent calendar, I really loved it and will buy the full size.

    I have moved on to a bottle of Avon Far Away for now and then when my current shower gel runs out I will replace it with Elizabeth Arden Green Tea and the matching body lotion and start using the perfume too.

    Avon Far Away is my all time favourite perfume :)

    Not sure why my list comes out with spaces like that between the items. That's not how I have it saved in word :o

  • Morning everyone, and welcome UK0106!

    I have 3 UUs today:

    The Body Shop Shea Body Butter 200ml: Love this scent and I have two more in the cupboard! WBA.

    Superdrug Cleansing Facial Wipes For Normal Skin: Really nice fresh scent to these; I bought them as a replacement for the camomile wipes that they used to do which they seemed to have stopped which were my HG. WDBA.

    Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub 50ml: Love the smell of lime so I was so glad that I picked this up in a set during the sales. Scrub was a bit too watery for my liking but the smell is divine! WMBA.

    Thanks for this Deleted User. I have been thinking about using more of Superdrug's own brand products. I usually use Simple wipes so I may try Superdrug's next time.

    A UU to report from this morning - Style and Grace Shower Gel. This was a gift and I WNB, I really didn't enjoy using it at all and the matching body lotion, as previously mentioned, dried my skin out, so I don't think their products are good quality.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    I can concur with Deleted_User. I use Superdrug's cleansing wipes for sensitive skin to remove my makeup before my oil cleanse and they work really well.

    I don't use them to remove eye makeup though (the skin on my eyes is really sensitive so I try to use oil-based eye makeup removers to avoid pulling at it), so I can't comment on how effective they would be for that purpose.

    Thanks UK0106 I will definitely be trying more of their products. I like that they don't test on animals and their body lotion I'm using is free from parabens so I'm definitely going to be trying more products from their range.

    I have way too many lip balms and one of my Nivea ones is nearly gone so hopefully that will be another UU very soon.
    Thank you to everyone who posts on here :)

    They really do have a great range of products, the only thing that occasionally puts me off shopping there is the awful service I usually get in my local store!


    *Forgot to add to my original post that I have sorted out my toiletries cupboard today so I have a better understanding of what's in there! Lots of stuff, but now there is some sort of order and I can see where I am lacking spares! :D
