    I have had an email from Smashbox telling me that they are sorry I don't like the taste of my lipstick!! They have asked for further information to look into this and I'll have to reply to them tonight when I have the lipstick to hand.

    I'm glad that they have replied!! Do you remember it tasting horrible before? Hopefully they'll send you a new one as a gesture of good will!

  • One UU - Bumble and Bumble Sunday Shampoo. WDBA I haven't found a shampoo that is as good at removing product build up than this one. Does anyone have any cheaper recommendations please?

    Also 13 OUTS from selling a few bits on, so pleased with that!

    one uu for me today and thank god

    13. Maybelline Colour sensational lipliner in Sweet Pink. This has excellent reviews however even though I've only had it for a short time it was very hard and made my lips itch (I wonder how long superdrug had it on the shelf inshore & I bought it as full price). Will not buy again. Also made my lips very dry.

    Hotel bubble bath
    Mini body lotion I got as a freebie from an etsy seller. WNBA - scent wasn't really me
    Nivea dry confidence anti-perspirant - I seem to use these till they get low then start a new one without finishing the old one off! No more!

    One TA

    I decided it was ridiculous that I have seven mascaras and the one in my make up bag has gone a bit dry. I threw it out. It was Clinique High Impact Mascara - but so are all the others.

    I'm ploughing through all the little things in my bathroom cabinet but after a while I'm gonna run out of those and have to start making dents into the 500ml sized stuff!

    Forgot to say when I counted my soaps that I also cut the massive ones up into smaller blocks. If a soap is bigger than the standard bar of imperial leather then I will get completely bored of it before it runs out so that was my plan to keep sane. I think my short attention span is one of the reasons I never finish any products before buying new ones!

    Champneys sugar scrub bought reduce in boots and the only thing I managed to pick up apart from a much needed eye liner.

    UU's
    58) Frozen bath ballistic WNBA beautiful to watch, a show in the bath but that is where it ends, I am not a great fan of the scent. One more to go.

    59) Cocoa and yuzu bubbleroon WNBA I prefer bubble bars to bubbleroon. Makes quite a few bubbles but prefer other scents.

    60) Elemis pro-intense lift effect cream WNBA purely based on the smell, really could not get on with it. As a moisturiser it's fine but much prefer PCMC.

    61) B&soap black block facial soap WMBA if I ever found it again, it is a Korean brand and is really a dupe for coalface cleanser from lush. I like it but prefer foam cleansers. Still have a couple more facial soaps to use, they really are very good value for money as they last months with daily use.

    62) collagen and biotin deep conditioner WMBA cheap deep conditioner, worked okay and for £1 would buy again.

    63) nature republic the first sheet mask WNBA okay and fitted well.

    64) yET oil control sheet mask WNBA smelt horrible but well in date, only left it on for 5 mins as I could not stand the smell.

    65) Future primitive toffee moon face whipped soap WBA love all her whipped soap and will buy more in the future, replace with a different scent.

    66) BS frosted plum sugar scrub WNBA I liked the scrub but the scent was a little cloying for me and I prefer the apple scent.

    67) golden egg bath melt/ ballistic WNBA this does not appeal, I like the scent but it turns your bath into a lovely yellow colour and I don't find the scent stays once it has dissolved.

    68) lava lamp bath ballistic WBA this was withdrawn quite quick after it was launched as it dyes everyone purple. It's very pretty in the bath but a pain to clean. Quite a nice orange scent.

    69) Asda original dry shampoo WNBA for some reason I went through this in 2 weeks, my hair still looked greasy after use, have another one to use but will go back to batiste.
