Same here! I’m 32 now and it still haunts me so every time I stay at my parents’ it’s “Muuuuum which towel can I use?”A good 10-15 years since she had teenage daughters my Mum is still annoyed about the towels we accidentally bleached with the acne products we hoped would magically fix our skin. So much Benzoyl Peroxide. Plus teeth whitening toothpastes.
Whenever I visit now I always make sure to use an old towel just in case I accidentally ruin another one of her nice ones
I can't give up my Olay Daily Facial cloths, the dry ones that foam up with water, and not just for travel. Since they've been repackaged they're more expensive at £6.99 for pack of 30, but I stock up every few months with 3 for 2 and other offers. I feel guilty about using disposables so I make good use of each one. I use a cloth to take off all my makeup every evening, I then rinse it out and let it dry overnight. In the morning I use it with spray to wipe the basin then the loo, not caring that it's discoloured from mascara, and put it in the bin. Did I really just share such a dreary domestic detail?
I remember being a fan of those cloths!
awww crap
I was wondering what happened to the podcast. I thought it was the number one trending beauty one - or something like that.
Hahaha in the 80s I used something called Oxy10 I think it was. My dad went light one morning shouting “what’s happened to the good towels?” Worked out it was that stuffA good 10-15 years since she had teenage daughters my Mum is still annoyed about the towels we accidentally bleached with the acne products we hoped would magically fix our skin.

From then on I was only allowed to use those towels as they were already ruined. All the grief I got and it didn’t really help my spots much either 
I think I’ve still got half a packet of those at the back of my cupboard. I quite enjoyed using them. I might dig them out for old times sake.
Mm I've been thinking solidly for 2 1/2 hours but still haven't come up with anything
) Anyhow, I recently treated myself to a bottle of Tom Ford Santal Blush EDP after being disappointed by various dupes. Well, I am disappointed by the real thing too. I cannot smell it on myself and my SO didn't comment when I wore it in the car immediately after spraying either, which is unusual. I don't recall my sample behaving so poorly 
That’s a good point. What about Hirons and her appallingly huge stash of facial products. Especially the more ‘natural’ brands that don’t have the preservatives. They must give loads away or sell it before it has a chance to go off.
They're not a myth, but it depends on the preservatives included and packaging - an airless pump will keep better than, say, a jar you scoop into every day. I don't pay as much attention to them as I should (I keep powder products for a long, long time) and tend to use products up anyway, but it should definitely be a concern for SH and her ilk.
