  • Hi ladies,

    How are we all?

    So firstly two naughty ins from duty free.
    A fabulous orangey channel lipstick which I love and wore a lot on holiday, and an OPI orangey nail varnish. These are both upgrades of some very old cheap nail varnish and lipstick I love but are on their last legs.

    Then holiday UUs, all sample/travel size
    2x khiels hydrating serum - WMB, but tad expensive and have a big serum on the go at home.
    2x Aesop Parsley toner - this was lovely but WPNB as I know the brand is quite pricey and these kinds of products can be good and still cheap
    1x Khiels Calendula toner WMB but think I prefer the Nuxe Rose one
    2x Clarins cream cleanser (green one) WB potentially when next need a tissue of cleanser as I liked this, but I do also like brands that are probably a bit cheaper like Avene
    2x Malin and Gomez shampoo sachets 1x conditioner WNB nothing special
    2x some natural brand shampoo sachets WNB prefer a lush shampoo bar as. Rutter value
    5x L'Or!al fibrology conditioner sample sachets WNB doesn't actually thicken hair
    2x Gliss intensive hair conditioner mini tubes brought abroad - WNBA but did the job nicely on sea stressed hair
    1x Simple eye makeup remover, technically didn't use up but GA end WPNB prefer a gentler Avene one
    1x Dove body wash as above, WNB didn't like this very much too soapy and squeaky yet also didn't lather that brilliantly
    1x sachet of brand I've forgotten factor 15 suncream WNB as go for more like a 50! Used up anyway on bits less exposed.
    Big bottle of factor 50 Nivea sun spray
    (like an oil) WBA friend and I really liked this

    Phew think that's it!!!
  • Just went to the stash to replace my shower gel by the bath and found i have no travel sized bottles left! Replaced with the dove one i bought the other day and this means i have 0 shower gels in my stash! I'm very pleased with this and will now make a real effort to only have one spare at a time.

    One sample UU tonight:

    Weleda Evening Primrose Revitalising Body Oil sample WPNB. This was nice, but I'm not looking for a body oil. I was worried about using it, but it wasn't oily at all. It sunk into my skin quite quickly, though I only used it on my legs.

    I'm nearing finishing all of the items on my PP list but the one I've nearly finished is the shampoo. I can't wait to finish it. Then I'll only have the 4 haircare products I need; 1 shampoo, 1 conditioner, 1 toning shampoo, and 1 heat protection spray.

    Hi everyone. I TA a Clinique City Block as I had it for too long and not much left in it. I have another full tube and I'm not sure if SPF would be still good on it but i like the color, so will use it with on top of SPF I guess.

    I also UU'ed Korres Guava Body Butter. I like it but my preference would be something lighter. I bought this from a charity shop for £1.50 so was a good buy but not sure if I WMBA. I have other stuff to go through first anyway.

    I feel like I will never see this day. I have a ton of shower gel and haven't bought for ages but the stash never seems to get smaller.

    Welcome back suzitiger.

    I have some uu

    Garnier Micellar Water 400ml - I don't like this as it cannot shift eye make up but DD loves it. I've given her the other 400ml bottle from the stash.

    Clinique Even Better Skin Tone Correcting Moisturiser 15ml - WNBA, this is for very dry/dry combination skin but my skin felt a bit tight, have replaced it with another the same from the stash.
