    maddie - I agree with what you have said, the only comfort for me is that I don't have to spend much now as I have so much in the stash.

    First Anniversary First Post I've been Money Tipped!
    One UU tonight:

    REN Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Milk 50ml WNBA. It didn't really wow me. It cleansed my skin okay, but it had a weird scent. I'm glad it's gone.

    That's another cleanser gone. I'm down to 7 now :)

    Finally got my lists up to date and have some UU to add:D


    . Lesson to (slightly) younger self....... use 1 thing, if you like it make a note of it, try something else and so on, you do not need loads and loads of different makes and types of toiletries stashed away, eating up potential holiday/treat money and taking up space, new things come along far quicker than you can use what you have and they all seem very desirable.:o

    This really is a summary of how I have been (uncomfortable reading) and not a sermon to any one of you lovely people, we all have the right to do as we wish with our hard earned cash:D

    Oh, so true! I just realized that my eyeshadow and blush stash will probably outlive me! I'm 58 and there is no way I will ever use all of that lot

    Hi gang,

    I have some mostly sample based UUs to share:

    Samples:
    - Clinique dramatically different moisturiser WNB as not for my skin type
    - Clarins one step cleanser WPNB but this was used when staying over at a friends
    - Body shop honey mask WNB prefer the rose one
    - Mystery serum WNB as no idea what it was!
    - Oskia eye wonder WNB as too expensive for product
    - darphin light moisturiser WMB was really nice lovely and light yet hydrating
    - Vichy normaderm night detox WPNB don't really know what this was about!

    Full size
    Neals Yard eye make up remover WMB was nice and gentle, and fairly effective liked that it didn't in any way bother my eyes.

    Ins
    3x Clinique moisture surge for men samples (the lady on the counter said the formula is exactly the same as the 'ladies version' only blue which is frankly hilarious. They'd run out of pink version!)
    - Avene eye make up remover

    Also step away from the palettes ladies! (If you can, I don't own any but I do want one a bit!)

    Well in one week's time I will be 68, so I have no chance :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I own 3 blushers, but quite a few eye shadow palettes and single ones too, most palettes have too many taupes and browns for my colouring, so I am very selective these days:)

    I have UUs to share:

    Estee Lauder Advance Night Repair Eye Cream GWP. WMBA as I like the texture/results.

    Nip+Fab Glycolic Fix Night Pads 60 packs. WBA when I see them on offer.

    Hope all well. I'm enjoying long evenings and not being able to read the forum much. Will catch up soon hopefully!
