    I have a few UU to report:

    Nivea soft moisturising cream 200ml- WMBA this was okay, I didn't rate it much last time but it's growing on me, it's a lighter cream for the summer (although we aren't getting the summer weather!!). This has a pleasant smell and although takes a little longer than others it does rub in okay. It's s nice one for using when you wear perfumes as the subtle scent doesn't interfere with your perfume. Might get this again at some point but got plenty of creams, butters and lotions to be getting on with for now.

    Dove go fresh pomegranate & lemon verbena roll on deodorant - WBA nice scent and does the job well. This was the one I was using for sleep ins at work so will find another in stash to replace.

    Morgan de toi eau de toilette purse spray 8ml- WNBA hated hated hated the scent of this, it smelled like sweaty bottoms to me!! Used it because I hate wasting stuff but eurgh, not something I'd buy again. I think it originally came in a bundle of stuff I acquired.

    Good morning ladies, though the weather here is miserable.

    No more UUs as yet but I do have a few items that I think will be gone this week:-

    Poo Pourri - anyone heard of this stuff? A friend bought it for me and I don't think I'd repurchase. Must be other things that you can spray down the loo to neutralise the nasty niffs


    I have heard of this but it is expensive for what it is, why would a friend buy you this. :rotfl: I make my own for under £1.00. If you want to make your own let me know and I will post how.

    No UU for me yet but have an IN, a bag of Epsom salts reduced in boots.

    Finish 7 by Summer
    1. [STRIKE]Bobbi Brown Chocolate Eyeliner[/STRIKE]
    2. [STRIKE]Lancome Hypnose Drama Mascara[/STRIKE]
    3. Bourjois Healthy Mix Concealer
    4. Revlon Lip Butter - Pink Truffle
    5. [STRIKE]Clinique Lip Gloss in Kissy Fit[/STRIKE]
    6. Max Factor Cream Blush in Soft Pink
    7.[STRIKE] Soap & Glory It's about prime[/STRIKE]

    Not long to go with this list now, still plugging away.

    These are my results for this challenge.

    The Lip Butter broke a while back so I put it into a pot and have been applying it with a lip brush, there is still a chunk left. WNBA

    The blush has been carried forward along with the concealer.

    The mascara is still going on but it has been open long enough so I am calling it quits. WNBA it is expensive and it flakes.
