    I've been hunting for the Boots testing thread, but can't find it.

    Does anyone know how I ask them for the identity of a product I tested 6 months ago?

    Morning all
    UU a tube of Avon planet spa hand cream - really nice soothing cream that didn't feel greasy.
    Still have enough to not worry about buying any more, I'm not getting through my stash very quickly but at least it's not getting added to as much

    Ladies, I bought 2 x OPI lacquers yesterday from the new Starlight Collection. I don't count lacquer in my stash though. I had been looking for these in the US but they have only now been released. I got Guys and Galaxies for Emma and Press * for Silver for me. I don't have any colours like this though. In the bottle it looks beautiful pearly pink. On my nails it looks pearly pink in daylight and a block silver colour indoors. Both very pretty. x

    I have also today bought a box of VS Hair colourant as I need to colour my hair this weekend. Going out with friends tomorrow night and my roots look horrendous. :eek:
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    I was going to buy them the other day as they were on offer but I try to reduce amount of wipes I use as there is too much plastic in them.
    Also if people flush them instead of putting in the bin, they end up littering beaches and damaging sea creature's habitat.

    I agree, I don't think people realise they are not supposed to flush facial wipes and especially baby wipes away :mad: it either blocks the toilet or ends up out at sea, either way it's very bad :(
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    We share part of our drainage with a neighbour and she used to flush baby wipes down the loo. She soon stopped doing it when we had a big bill for flushing the system out when it became blocked :mad:

    A UU - finally!! Olay Touch of Sun moisturiser, supposed to be tinted but didn't notice any difference :p It has been spluttering for a couple of weeks, it finally gave up today but I was certain there would be stuff left in it (as is always the case! :cool:)
    It's a round tub with a pump lid. Got the pump bit off but couldn't get the next layer off with my fingers. Got a pair of pliers and eventually got the lid off, then a spring, then another lid and then another lid, to discover it was actually empty. :p
    It's actually a bit of a con, the tub makes it look tall but haven taken it apart I can see there's a false floor and a false top. :cool:
    So WIBA - not sure - it has lasted a long time and I have plenty of UU first :o but probably would as long as it was on some sort of offer (which is why I bought it in the first place!!)
