It sounds like you didn't want those nail polishes anyway but for future don't throw away one that has separated just because of that, they mix back together and are fine to use, I have polishes that are over 10 years old and they are totally fine.

There are one or two that I might have kept, but the ones I tried to mix back together really did not seem to take well. One case in point was a white varnish for doing French tips - solid lump of white in the middle and clear varnish around the edges :eek: To be fair, they were far from what you would call high end brands so that probably hasn't helped matters.

Most are colours I wouldn't wear these days, and as I am as KMing (decluttering) I won't lose any sleep over them. Useful tip to know for the few I did keep :beer:

UU locctaine cherry blossom shower gel - WNBA not much scent from it but lathered up well - prefer the hand cream in this scent

savingfortomorrow

4 eyeshadows in. Wearing make up every day to work down the stash. Repurposing products, currently using nuxe moisturizer as a cleanser, it was too greasy and icky as a moisturizer.
Did throw out a hand cream, had to as broke it. I tend to just use oil on my hands, lotions tend to annoy me no end.

Welcome back kiplingmonkey - I remember you and your sock monkeys well.

I have some uu's

Elemis Frangipani Monoi Shower Gel 50ml - WBA, I love this but it would have to be on a good deal.

Elemis Skin Nourishing Body Lotion 50ml - I would happily use this again as it is lovely but wouldn't pay Elemis prices for it.

I repainted my nails last night, did my toes in Avon Gunmetal and fingers in Maybelline Divine Wine, the Seche is making my manicures last about 5 days now.

Googled that colour. V nice. I'm now wearing OPI Germanicure by OPI.

I use OPI Nail lacquer thinner. I've just applied some to a bottle of OPI Piroette my whistle.

I have 3 UUs and a TA:-

2 x L'Occitane ultra rich body lotion sachets. This is lovely.

1 x L'Occitane hydration face cream sachet. Nice but not WOW effect.

TA: mini bottle of OPI Chip skip. Useless product.

Have pulled out a few mini bottles to UU. Also have pulled out my MUA eyeshadow palette as I've hit pan on one colour. Kept the Cargo blush out as this is nearltpy done.

Soft and Gentle Wild Rose and Vanilla deodorant - not my favourite scent, but still like the S&G deodorants.

Welcome back paw666 and Kiplingmonkey.

UU's
Lush hottie massage bar WNBA I had taken to putting the tin onto of the electric wax melt warmer to melt it ( not that I recommend doing it) but it did make it so much easier to use. I have gone off massage bars so will not purchase anymore, just use up the ones I have left.

Foodacholic hydrogel mask WBA loved this mask, I generally prefer sheet masks ( paper based) as I find they adhere to the face better but this one stayed put and lasted 30 minutes without any signs it was going to drop off.

Lush ne worry pas bath ballistic WMBA this was too scented so I chopped it in half. Worked well paired with bathos bubble bar ( a favourite) . Only available in the lush kitchen a few times a year. I picked it up off a forum and they ( bought 2) are about 2 years old and still worked perfectly.

Lush sugar scrub WNBA picked this up in a job lot off eBay, nice enough but a pain to use. You either crumble it which defeats the purpose or leave it as a block and it melts away and goes really soggy.

I forgot how quick I can go through things, several more on their way out. Probably a good thing as I ordered enchanted and Lord of Misrule bath bombs on Friday.

Hello

UUs: Mulbery and fearne shampoo - from a hotel stay years ago.
Hand soap - boring! I've refilled the pump with a shower gel I didn't really like, as I don't have any more hand wash atm
Clarins night 7ml - WMB, but only as part of a good deal
Kneipp perfect bliss poppy and hemp bath salts - I really liked this WB. Came as part of a beauty bag. They turned the bath a nice purple and smelled lovely. The warnings on the pack about staining were slightly alarming.

Considering a TA unless one of you ladies can advise me otherwise ... my favourite Nails Inc 4ml jar has gone all thick and gloopy. It's been open about 2.5 yrs. VALM - would that OPI stuff you mentioned abouts 4 posts up work?

UU-Sanctuary Tight&Tone Body Serum. This had a nice texture. Not sure whether it did anything but I did buy it from clearance shelf and no idea about the full price. WBA if the price is right or there is a good offer.

TA - Around 7 bottles of nail polishes, couple of opened but rarely used make-up stuff (Kiko cheek stain, Loreal eyeshadow, Tea Tree concealer etc). I'm leaving in 3 months time and I still have too much stuff. I have kept many things with the hope that I will use them one day but just never get around them. My table is less crowded now.

I have Elemis flash balm in travel size currently open, this has a strange feeling on my skin. A bit sticky. I might mix with my cream to use.
