It does feel good to finish a perfume especially if they are larger bottles, I think I get bored and switch when they are larger bottles so prefer to buy more 30ml or 50ml.
I had tried some of the LOccitane fragrances years ago(cherry blossom and verbena I think they were) I never got through the full bottles I think they were 100ml sizes?
Is the Amber and Santal in a huge bottle?
I might try to PP a bottle of noa perfume next, its nice and light so I can spray it liberally to UU:)

I'm not sure on the bottle size though I'd guess at 100ml. The Amber & Santal has been discontinued and replaced by Ambre EDT. Looking on the site it looks like a lot of the Grasse range have been discontinued including my beloved Jasmine & Bergamot. Looks like all the fragrances are in smaller bottles too.

Hi all. In for another month. I will catch up with thread later on but for now one UU/TA. Perricone MD - No Makeup Concealer.

I bought this from TK Maxx last summer and the expiry date was Dec-2017. I've used pretty much all of it and I liked it but my aim was to TA or UU it at the end of January. This is an ok concealer. I don't think the high price tag is justified. It is on the dry side so there is the danger of cakey look. It, however, covers imperfections well and gives a brighter look to the eye area. WNBA probably unless I find it in TK Maxx again.

I've since discovered that the bottle size is 75ml.

VALM - I can only think of one of my perfumes which has been discontinued and that is Library of Fragrance Wet Grass, I do love it but am not too bothered about it being discontinued. That is not the case for my beloved New West perfume, it was out in the 90's and I think they still do the mens version but the womens has long gone, it makes me so sad. Had I known I would have stocked up.

VALM- I hate it when they discontinue my favourite products or worse replace it with a reformulated version, Dior's Miss Dior Cherie I am looking at you!
Have you tried the new Ambre? I know I have never been too impressed with the newer improved replacement products the beauty companies release:(

Buying the left over Christmas stock on half price and travel sizes and it is a good way of trying a new product before buying the larger sizes. Did not expect so many sample sizes with my purchases!

One UU this afternoon:

Oral B Complete Cool Mint Mouthwash 500ml WNBA. I liked this at one point but I've gone off it. Replaced it with a Listerine mouthwash.

I may also finish a hand cream at some point today or tomorrow. I'm on a roll with UUs lately. I've cut into the packaging of my conditioner, when it's reached the last 100ml the pump won't work anymore. Should finish my shampoo and conditioner in the next week or so

I've not been a big fan of this fragrance I am using TBH. Much preferred the Jasmine and Bergamot but have half that bottle left so will see how I feel when it is gone.
