Morning guys.

I have some uu's

Bare Minerals Original Mineral Veil 2g - I am in two minds about this, I don't see any benefit from it when I use it over Bare Minerals foundation (the powder type), the foundation seems to be fine on its own. I have however been using this over my regular liquid foundation as a setting powder and the finish looks really lovely. I have an 8g pot and maybe another 2g pot so I don't need to think about buying just yet.

Kniepps Pure Bliss Mineral Bath Salts - this was a single use sachet, they smelt great and turned the bath water a bright pink, WBA if I see them somewhere.

Philip Kingsley Moisture Balancing Conditioner 20ml - WBA, I have a 1L bottle of this and another 20ml tube and I have just finished a 500ml bottle - it is lovely stuff.

Which Mineral Veil did you have Dolly? I have the one with SPF in and am struggling with it - find it leaves a white tone on my skin although it is meant to be transparent? Not sure if I am just using it too heavily.

Some great UU there DreamyP well done!! Wish I was as good at UU make up.

Hope work gets better for you soon Strawberry girl.

Love the fawn too Babafette. Very cute. I have nearly UU the same Korres cinammon shower gel and have similar thoughts to you. Definitely does not smell strong enough for my liking. Won't buy again.

Still ticking along here, no UU of note really. My stash of general toiletries is minimal, it's make up that's the problem still. Have been rotating the things I use a lot which means no UU but am finding things that I really like which is always good.

I thought the same and it is really cute

I sold a Bare Minerals Lip Gloss and mascara so 2 outs.

Given 2 perfumes as a belated birthday presents so 2 ins :eek:

I have targeted some lipsticks to melt as well.
My pp list is not going well though but we still have 2 weeks to go :P

TA - Sun Swim Gym Shampoo for dry damaged hair
GA - Aveda Damage Remedy Shampoo & Conditioner

These are all wrecking my poor scalp. I need to find and buy something that is not going to make my scalp flake and bleed. Any one have any recommendations? I have Nizoral but obviously that's not for regular use so I need something I can use inbetween. Was diagnosed with Seborrheic dermatitis when I was about 3, not convinced that is exactly what causes my skin problems, but if anyone knows of anything that has helped them then please share...

When we had a resident at my work with similar problems we used to buy this: http://www.boots.com/en/Boots-Expert-dry-itchy-sensitive-shampoo-200ml_1162496?cm_mmc=bmm-_-google-_-PLAs-_-Boots%20Shopping%20-%20Category%20-%20Toiletries for her, I don't know if you've seen or tried it already though. Her scalp was very sensitive and this seemed to work well for her, it's pricey though IMO but worth it if it does the job.

Uu:
St Ives apricot face scrub - WBA and already bought another, this is fantastic stuff. probably the best face scrub I've used so far.

Garnier ultimate blends lemon and tea tree conditioner - Wmba it's a nice scent but not sure if it did the best job, I've had other conditioners I've preferred. The ultimate blends range either seem to make my hair greasy or dry it out.

Morning all
2 UUs last night bottle of shampoo and bubble bath, came from a little indie shop in town that does natural herbal type stuff, they were lovely shampoo smelt gorgeous and gave hair a nice clean scent, bath stuff was very bubbly and also smelt good.

Melted 4 lipsticks into a pot - again a messy finish but ah well :P 4 out there.

UU Clinique refreshing eye gel - did nothing for me but certainly refreshing. WNBA.

Also UU'ed a hand mask - glove type. Was lying around for ages and it passed best before date but was still ok.

UU of an Olay Total Effects Day Moisturiser with SPF 15, 37.5 ml, that I got from Amazon back in March as part of a set with the night cream. Pump product. I levered the pump off easily to get the last dregs out, quite impressed with the pump design as there wasn't much in there but I got a last application out.

WIB? Lo and behold, this is the exact same cream that Beauty Recommended have just sent me to review, although theirs is 50ml. So I will be using it again. The first one took a while as I kept being derailed with other items to review, but we got there eventually.
I do like that it has an SPF, although Aldi's own creams have a higher SPF (20) than the 15 of this one.

Sounds like a lovely evening. Could you pretty please give us a little review of the man from Uncle when u get back?? It's on my cinema hit list at the minute but so are a lot of things... Need to get that list down too

Sorry, we arrived earlier than anticipated and saw Fantastic Four instead. This was better than anticipated as I knew it had been slated. I did however prefer the original cast but it was not an awful film to watch. Am hopeful of seeing the Man from Uncle tomorrow night though as we have Meerkat tickets and Emma is still away.

Have a lovely time and don't spend too much.

I had a sniff of the Aussie shower gels when they came out and they smelt like old bubblegum and they all smelt the same I really couldn't understand the hype.

Thanks. We did have a good time. Agree with you about Aussie shower gels. Have one IN and two UUs to report:-

In: Benefit Boing Concealer which MrM treated me to.

UU: Bourjois concealer. Was ok but I had to apply more of this on each application than I do the Benefit one.

UU: Aussie shampoo - travel sized. Found this in the drawer where I keep our sun creams. There was very little left in it so now it has gone.

Didn't buy anything else from the Trafford Centre so was very good.

I am using other full size items at the moment too but don't seem to be getting anywhere. At least this little lot should be gone in the next couple of weeks and will add to my motivation.

Just in case you don't know, your charity shop fawn was made by Menton Manor from a model by Jean Spouse (it should have J Spouse impressed on the foreleg) Not worth a lot but very decorative.

Hi all.
I've read several threads but an new to contributing. I have drawers full of toiletries. And lots of make-up. I find it very difficult to resist a special offer. My health is very poor and has been for a couple of years and buying toiletries cheers me up. I can't list all my stuff as my hands are not up to typing it all out! The amount of stuff I have is ridiculous and my resolution now is to only buy something when I need it not because it's on offer. As it says at the top of the thread there will always be offers. I have cut down a lot recently. And cut down on watching QVC, I've hardly watched any recently so I need to get that down to zero! So I'm here for support in not buying anything.
