    Hi all.

    I have a uu

    Imperial Leather Calming Bubble Bath 500ml - this was nice but I get through these bottles super quick, I think it is the size of the opening in the bottle, it comes out very quickly. WBA for £1.

  • Another UU: REN Rosa Centiflora 3 in 1 cleansing water.

    I WBA - it does the job and smells lovely. However I have a Madera one I got in my Lovelula box before I cancelled the subscription and some aged but I think still ok to use Lancome and No7 cleanser / toner sets that will need to be UU before I need to re-purchase.

    I have been quite lazy at cleansing in the evening - I rarely wear make up and was prone to falling asleep on the sofa and then just going to bed without doing anything to look after my skin. I've been a lot better over the summer at keeping up with a night time skin care routine so now I am back at work I need to make sure I don't fall back into my old ways.

    Happy birthday indiepanda :)

    Thank you. I was feeling a bit cheesed off that I will be at work on the actual day (Weds) as I often take it off but in between:-

    - lunch with friends yesterday,
    - going for a facial today,
    - working only a 3 day week to make up for having to do 5 days last week (my contract is for 4 days)
    - having a massage on Friday
    - going to Barcelona for the weekend with the boyfriend,

    I think I am actually going to have a lovely week and I should consider myself very lucky! Be an interesting week at work starting a new role too.
  • Hi all,

    UUs:

    Burt's Bees Sensitive Face Wipes: These were lovely and thick with a pleasant, fresh scent. WBA if part of a set like these were.
    Dove Deeply Nourishing Body Wash 55ml: This had been opened for ages so when I tried to use it up, it had gone a bit gloopy. Adore the scent though so WBA.
    Superdrug Vitamin E All Over Bod Cream 400ml: This is the worst smelling product from the vitamin E range and took ages to sink in. WNBA.

    TA:

    Aussie Miracle Beach Waves 150ml: This smelled gorgeous but it didn't really work for me. Such a shame to throw away but there was no point trying to use it up.

    Sounds really good to me :) Congrats on the new role too!

    TA Rimmel Wake Me Up Concealer. This is good but has been open too long and noticed a funny smell (or imagined :eek:). Went to recycling bin at Boots, Origin counter. Sometimes they give you samples when you recycle stuff.

    Anyway, I then bought the following from Christmas shop:
    Benetint, Benefit eyeliner/pencil,Eyebright and potent eye cream with a cute Benefit Christmas sock to fill in. I missed those last year, they sold out and for £5 each, I didn't want to miss again. Apparently there was a 3 for 2 so all 4 came for £15.00. I'm off for a trip on Saturday so good to take there too.

    I also got Clarins Beauty flash balm and Daily energizer cream. Came with a gift bag promotion and there is a travel size flash balm, a travel size lipstick and an eyeshadow palette in the bag.I also liked the bag they came with.

    Clarins is becoming my new favorite skincare.

    I will probably go through my stash and start listing/selling them.

    And I have UU'ed a Bioderma handcream. WNBA.

  • One more UU - Mio boob tube+.

    It' a nice cream, but I am not convinced this has really done anything that wouldn't have been achieved by just using a regular moisturiser and as it's very expensive, I don't think I WBA.
