    I've read on here that aldi own brand are good quality but have yet to try them.
    They are very good baby wipes, both the sensitive and the standard ones.
    I use their nappy bags to bag up panty liners and those are top quality too, but only available when it's baby week on Specialbuys.

    I have a TA

    St Moritz Tanning Mousse - this is from last year but I only used 1/2 and it just stops working as in it doesn't tan you at all when it has been open a while. WBA though.

    The heat means I'm using up bubble bath like whoa having a long tepid soak in the bath with a book before bed so I'm cool enough to sleep.
    Putting the SpaO2 lime and ginger spritzer in the fridge is helping too. I'd never wear it to go out as it smells like I spilled lime cordial all over myself. But its nice and refreshing as a cool down spritzed over the neck and arms at home.
  • In this hot weather I've UU two mini bottles of Liz Earle instant boost skin tonic, I will decanter some from the big bottle into one of the empty sprays and keep it in my handbag. I have decantered my LE shower gel into an old hand wash bottle as it's easy to dispense. OnLy have a 1/4 left so that should be used up soon. One IN faith in nature tea tree shampoo as my current one is running low.

    I TA a Collection 2000 lip gloss as it really did not show up on my lips and smelt revolting (like a sweet shop!). I think I will just stick to Clinique and NYX for my lip glosses now.

    I was very naughty and bought two of the new L'Oreal clay masks as they were on special in Boots. I have been looking for a clay mask and L'Oreal products usually suit my skin.

    Latest NBI, something rather upmarket: Patisserie de Bain Bath Fancies
    I'll be honest, I wanted them because they were so pretty, which does make them extremely unnecessary. Especially as it's quite difficult for me to take baths easily. Nice ornaments for the bathroom anyway and possibly one of the most expensive baths products gramme for gramme that I've ever reviewed.
    Apart from some useless Australian shower gel, that is.

    I reviewed some of those and today they have offered me another set in a different fragrance. I am tempted!
