    UUs during woek business trip:

    Primark deep cleansing facial wipes: WNBA, served its purpose as travel wipes but trying to switch to my eco-friendly brands.

    Aldi anti-bacterial wipes: WMBA

    Child's farm sweet orange hair & body wash: WMBA,, smeels nice and not too drying.

    Ins:

    Aldi Ombia Sensitive facial wipes - Needed as a replacement for the used up wipes.
    2 x Yves Rocher anti-perspirant roll- ons; 1 x China Green tea, 1 x Thai Lotus flower - HG, especially as Yves Rocher UK website closed down this year.

    I hope to use more products for my next work trip this week.

    One UU from this afternoon:

    SVR Sebiaclear SPF50+ Creme 50ml WDBA and have done. Lovely SPF, no white cast and it doesn't break me out.

    Will have some INs shortly. I completed a survey for QVC recently and they offered me a beauty bundle for £20 (value of £99.00) which I didn't order. They have sent me a reminder over the weekend and as it's still available and I'll use all the products (bar the Tweak'd stuff) I decided to order. 11 full sized products for £20 with free p&p - is a bargain.


    I got that too and bought the pack, it was worth it just for the Elemis toner in my opinion so to have all the extras was brilliant!

    I know, for me it was worth it to get the Skinsense and Prai so that I can try the brand. What colour OPI did you get? I got Teal Me More Teal Me More which is a colour I would not have chosen myself but am wearing it today and it's quite nice.

    Snake Venom eye cream
    [STRIKE] Lacura Q10 serum[/STRIKE]
    Liz Earle Skin Repair - cut open
    The Ordinary Rosehip oil
    ABC Body lotion
    L'Occitane Cherry blossom shower gel
    Elemis shower milk (tonka bean)



    E45 cream
    Bath and Body Works shea butter body lotion
    Boots Nail Polish remover - new one bought in readiness


    At last the Lacura serum has gone. Not that I wanted it gone but it's felt like it was at an end for ages. Fabulous product. Fabulous value. Have another to replace it with. It is safe to say that I won't need to buy any skincare for the foreseeable future.

    One UU this morning:

    Maui Moisture Strength & Anti Breakage Agave Shampoo 385ml WDBA and have done. Love this shampoo, it doesn't irritate my scalp and leaves my hair feeling nice when used with the matching conditioner. Replaced with my back up bottle.

    Hello to all the newbies! :wave:

    is there anything you can do with unwanted toiletries that are open, other than pouring down the sink?
    These days in the average year I buy/use shampoo, shower gel and Antiperspirant. That's it. However in my youth I was a bit of a sucker for a quick fix and i have bag and bags of products that I tried once and decided I didn't like. I now have no use for 99% of them. I have a bathroom overspill cupboard, and that cupboard has an over spill bag which has an overspill box. I'd like the space back!


    Are they all open? If you only have a few open ones, you might have to get rid of those but you could check the unopened ones and if they are still OK donate to a charity shop or similar (so long as it's not clear that you have opened them).

    Hello everyone! :wave:


    I'm just back from an unexpected break. While I was in Duty Free I thought I had forgotten my mascara, so invested in a Lancome Monsieur Big mascara which came with a free Bi-Facil Eye Cleanser (30ml) and a small khol crayon for the same price as the mascara on it's own. How could I say no?

    I was *not* happy when I eventually found the trial size Estee Lauder mascara tucked in my handbag once I got off the plane, though! :mad:


    I found some Lady Gaga The Fame perfume while I was away, too. I like the smell of this and use it as my everyday perfume, but cannot find it for sale anywhere in this country any more, so I bought two bottles (t'was nice and cheap! ;)) and left money for someone to pick me up a couple more, so I'm probably set for that for the next 5 years now! :rotfl:


    That's it from Pickle Towers. I hope you are all keeping well. :)

    dolly84, I have seen UD Primer Potion on https://www.saveonmakeup.co.uk. It's a travel size at £4.99 - I've heard that you only need to use this sparingly so might be worth bearing in mind in future.

    I got 'You're the shade that I want!', which is a hot pink. I think people in the first flux of the survey all got the same one so it's probably the same for everyone doing it now.

    Clearly there'll be another GREASE themed one in the next phase! :D
