    PP List

    Argan Oil Hair Treatment
    Argan Oil Shampoo
    Ritual Shower Gel
    [STRIKE]E45 Cream for Dry Skin[/STRIKE]
    Samples x 5
    Body Shop Vitamin-E Face Wash
    [STRIKE]Big Pony Ralph Lauren Pink Perfume[/STRIKE]

    So 2 UU's finally from the list - E45 is good but I have tones of other creams and WNBA just yet.
    Big Pony Pink - Very weak scent and it was LHJ , WNBA. Purple is my favorite.
    Opened a DKNY 30 ml anyway.

    I have UU'ed a perfume sample from Thierry Mugler, Angel. Not sure what I made of it - not really my sort i think.

    A handwash from SpaNaturals also UU'ed. It was from a charity shop and it wasn't very good. WNBA.
    Replaced with another one from Raspberry & Blackberry Indulgent Hand Wash from "I Love". This is for the kitchen sink.

    Finally, Dr Ceuticals Sculpting Cellulite Treatment 150ml is UU'ed. Firstly this isn't really value for money as I only used it for 11-12 times. Secondly, not sure whether it does anything. I haven't used it regularly after a while I must admit but overall it is a body gel and easy to apply as well as refreshing. WNBA. I have other similar products. None of them works without proper lifestyle and good genes anyway.

  • I've decided to TA a product today - I hate doing this as it feels like such a waste.

    Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser 150ml: My use of this product seems to have coincided with an explosion of spots all over my face. This could well be due to hormones but I can;t take the risk. Really disappointed as I like the smell of this but I can't be covered in spots for my holiday!

    dolly84 - Hope you had a nice time on holiday!

    I've been looking at The Vegan Kind box and wondering if it's worth it? I've been Vegan since the beginning of February food wise and am really enjoying it. As house hold cleaners, make up, clothes, etc are used up I'm only replacing with vegan. But I'm struggling to find a variety of products. I'm enjoying most of Superdrug's B range but their mascara is dreadful - any recommendations that is 100% vegan and cruelty free would be greatly appreciated!

    Also, to all of you who sell products - are these just full items that you have in your stash that you've never opened or are some of them part used?!

    I have had quite a few UUs recently but can't think for the life of me right now what they are, so I'll have a little think and post it up here. They would all be WNBA for me though.

    rdone I am so glad I am not the only one doing this. I am trying to phase everything out, I have a feeling it's going to take me a year at least. I am slowly replacing everything but a long way to go.

    I use the benefit version "Brow-zings" or something similar? It's brilliant - I've tried a couple of alternatives, but not found anything as good. Plus it's reeeeeeeaaaaaally long lasting.

    Agreed! I use Benefit browzings and have done for years and it lasts ages. An even cheaper alternative is from Sleek in Superdrug. Please check out my beauty on a budget thread :) x

    A UU for me today - Sanctuary Foaming bath. Didn't like it as a bubble bath as not enough bubbles for me :-) But was fine as a shower gel. Finishing off a lemonbalm soap that I had started so will use that up for the next wee while til it goes then decide what shower gel next.

    I have two spluttering so hopefully should finish them this weekend.

    One UU to report from yesterday:

    Benefit Coralista Powder - lovely colour and stays on for the day. WNBA due to the ingredients.

    It's just a shame I have 6 more benefit powders to get through...

    KT2802 - the Mineral Veil I used was just called Original Mineral Veil, there is no mention of SPF on the pot, it is a very pale pink colour.

    I have a uu

    Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Wash 50ml - WBA, love this and have a full size in the stash.

    I also have two ins

    Tanya Burr Nail Polish in Duck Egg
    Tanya Burr Nail Polish in Peaches & Cream


    I really like these polishes and think I have all the colours, I repainted my nails last night using the duck egg one. Painted my toes with a Nails Inc Silver.

    I have also had several ins of candles, I got two Lily Flame ones on holiday and came home to 6 others I had delivered to my Mum's whilst I was on holiday.

    Does anyone else find the Soap & Glory Hand food to be really greasy? I have a tube on my desk and whenever I use it I can't wait to wash my hands again... pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to work!

    I have UU organic surge hot cloth cleanser. This is definitely one I WBA. I have started using the Elemis pro-radiance cleanser which I have used before and will definitely buy again although will have to wait for offers I think as it's expensive.
