    Hi ladies! :wave:

    I've UU another Corsodyl Daily Mouthwash and cracked open a new one.

    I hope you are all well. Sorry to read and run but I have had an awful day and I'm playing catch-up with myself.

    Good to see you again, Pickle, and sorry that you have had such a carp day.

    I really like the Olay eye cream, I use, I do think it minimises dark circles, but I don't use foundation most days, so it doesn't have anything coloured to contrast with, if that makes sense. Also it could be that my eyesight isn't what it was... :D

    I've got an Am@zon gift card to spend and was wondering if I could spend it on anything toiletry related. I honestly can't think of a thing I need. Serum, perhaps, next month, but my HG one is from A!di... so that's a bit of a no brainer.

    One UU tonight:

    DHC Deep Cleansing Oil sample WMB. I received a DHC sample pack with an Escentual order and I finally remembered to try this. This was nice as a first cleanse, I may purchase the small size of this in a few months. The only off putting thing about this is the smell. A bit weird but I got used to it.

    I have a couple of uu

    Balance Me Expression Filler 15ml - I used this as eye cream and didn't really see that it filled in any fine lines more than anything else I use so WNB (this one came in a beauty box) but would happily use again.

    Yarden Dead Sea Bath Salts with Frankincense
    - I love the smell of these but they have stupid little dried rose petals in which turn into little slimy things in the bath - WNBA for that reason only.

    Benefit Goofproof eyebrow pencil

    L'occitane Almond Shower Oil
    Boots Extracts Peppermint body butter
    Boots No 7 facial wipes
    Pureology Red hair oil

    5 by Summer.

    Have decided to use this as a kind of project polish too and keep swapping in old colours.

    No7 eyeshadow. One of the teeny ones that come with GWP. - still going strong. Quite like this. Nice and shimmery.

    Kat Von D eyeliner - still going strong! Surely must be finished by the end of the challenge? - dare I say it that I'm getting a bit bored of this now!

    Urban Decay Vice eyeliner. This will be my fail I thinka as I'm concentrating too much on the KVD one above.

    The Body Shop Amazonian Lily perfume. An inch of product left. I keep using it as room spray too. Want this to be gone by 20 June. If not, it will be binned

    Have sold the Tarte palette so this will be sent off today.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Two more uu for me

    Crabtree & Evelyn Summer Hill Shower Gel 500ml - lovely scent which is very similar to CK Eternity which I love. Long lasting fragrance too.

    Crabtree & Evelyn Summer Hill Body Lotion 500ml - WBA as above, lovely to use and absorbs well.

    Hi everyone,

    I've been really M.I.A lately - mostly because I've been at work a lot (last week was 6days and 45+hours) and when I've not been at work I've been feel really down and burnt out. I've mostly been asleep or eating biscuits. Not ideal!! Need to sort myself out and eat better and sleep better but I feel really stuck.

    Anyway I did succum to the SpaceNk GWP but I rationalise this by the fact I had UU so much stuff and genuinely needed cleansers.

    UU:
    Lush angels on bare skin WBA this is nice (can't remember if I logged this already!)
    Lush dream cream WBA again nice lovely and rich
    Alpha H Liquid Gold - WBA kind of thing that feels weird/doesn't do anything when you put it on but I feel it does improve condition and radiance
    Bobbi Brown foundation stick - WBA lasts ages and wears well on face, really made this lady scraping out all the product left in the plastic bit that holds the stick of foundation.

    Ins:
    Oskia renaissance cleansing gel
    Omorovicza cleansing balm
    Mini omorovicza mist
    Hourglass foundation stick
    Body scrub (forget the brand)
    Then lots and lots of other freebies including a full size cleanser I am really liking (yes I know I'm sorted for a while but I like to use a mixture of them!) will try to list another time.

    3 outs and 3 ins, leaving no change to my numbers as usual!

    OUT
    • OST C20 Vitamin C serum – HG, already repurchased
    • Queen Helene Mint julip mask WBA, cheap and works well
    • The Ordinary 2% retinol – WNBA. Gutted about this as I really wanted it to work for me, but unfortunately it gave me so many spots. I gave it a go for 3 months incase it was purging, but my skin must not like something in it. Although this is still in my cupboard I count it as a give away. I asked my OH if he wanted it as otherwise I was going to chuck it, and he said he did.

    IN
    • OST C20
    • L'Oreal Detox Clay mask
    • Indeed Labs Retinal Reface.
    No more goo hoarding!

    Hope work eases up for you soon houseplant so you have more time to look after yourself :)

    Happy Monday everyone! I had a spree of UU over the weekend and still lots which should go this week

    4. Mitchum roll on deodorant, HG the only deo which really stops sweaty armpits for me lol. Have one more in the stash

    5. Clinique clarifying lotion no 2, WNBA it's way too harsh and feels like I'm using paint stripper :eek: It has taken me about 5 years to get through 200ml

    6. L occitane lip balm tube in cocoa flower, WNBA it wasn't moisturising enough to use every day or my lips ended up feeling more dry, another LHJ

    7. Avon foundation, I think it was called Almost makeup or Light makeup but when I cut the tube open I threw away the name section, doh. Threw away the last of this as it had gone a bit thick and waxy, WNBA it wasn't anything special

    I am hoping to report back tomorrow with more UU, I have nearly finished my shower gel and 2 handcreams :j

    UUs Botanics Hot cloth cleanser. Bought the same one to replace as it was half price in Boots. Really impressed with this. Takes makeup off easily/completely. Doesn't feel luxurious but can't complain, for the price.
    Max Factor Infallible Make-Up Base. Another good one, great value for money and keeps the makeup in place well. I have another one of the same.

    INs - TBS Facial Masks x 2 Ethiopian Honey and Amazonian Acai. I got a free mask brush with these too. I also bought 2 Ted Baker Body lotion (75ml) each 75p on the reduced shelf. Also, Ted Baker Body spray 150ml for £3.00.

    Hope all well. I will read your posts later as it is a bit busy recently :(

    Off to Germany next week, looking forward to it.
    ally.
