Hi all,

How's everyone's week going. I'd say hurrah it's nearly the weekend but I'm working well into the evening tomorrow and potentially in work at the weekend a fair bit. I'm beyond exhausted at the moment, doing lots of overtime but really could do with the money and hopefully I'll be able to treat myself once I get paid. I feel like all I do at the moment is work

Anyway apologies for the woe is me spiel! I kkkw a few others were feeling a bit rubbish ATM too.

Use ups:
Lush Bar Bar bubble bar - WBA I liked this it was a nice calming scent and made plenty of bubbles
Lush face wash sample - WMBA

I have lots of nearly UUs including lush shower gel, full size face wash, moisturiser samples

Hope things are on the up Houseplant! Don't burn yourself out with the overtime; I know the money is nice but you need to give yourself a break. When i did it, I found it much easier to do 2 days OT in one so I knew I had a "normal" day the next day. I know it depends how many hours you're doing but I found it easier to do an extra long day and a normal day instead of 2 long days.

How strong was the smell of the Baa Bar once it was in the bath? I haven't bought it yet because I think it smells a bit weak in the shop. I might have another sniff at the weekend!

An unplanned IN - a Batiste dupe dry shampoo from Lid!. I don't often use dry shampoo but when you could do with it and your only resort is talcum powder it can be a bit of a dilemma.
Been offered some more John Frieda stuff to review but that will be for April's thread.

March seems to have been a long month -though not in a bad way! It's also been a bit tight budget wise so I l have been much better than I would have liked to be!

I have:
10 UU
0 IN

See you in April!

1. Kat Von D Tattoo liner in Trooper. Once this has gone I'm going to also attempt to UU Urban Decay 24/7 eye pencil in Zero

2. Urban Decay eye pencil in Vice. Not sure I can UU two eyeliners but want to use this more.

3. The Body Shop Amazonian Lily perfume. I just don't reach for this and may use it as room spray.

4. NARS Rakugian lip crayon. Is stumpy now so want to UU to the point where I can't sharpen it anymore.

5. UD The OC blush from the Gwen Stefani palette. Is better suited as a bronzer on me. Have hit pan and want to UU completely.

What's the end date on this challenge?

UU : NARS Rakugian. I had to keep sharpening this on every use towards the end as I think it had dried out a bit. Went to sharpen it tonight and it looked like I had got to the plastic inside so done! I have a backup of this but won't open it yet.

The pannage on my IC blush has gotten bigger too so hopefully this will be UUed up too soon.

Hurrah, the Smashbox shimmery gold shadow from my Full Exposure Pallette has been UU. In the end I was trying to scoop it out with an eyeliner brush which became manotinous (sp?) so I crushed the little bits clinging to the sides of the pan with said brush and then crushed it onto my regular eyeshadow brush to use. Do love this colour.
