wow loads of use ups. I have a few more things at final spluttering stage:
liz earle line serum - wiba yes. i can use it on my eyes at night no probs. its a tiny tube pump thing so is fairly pricey.
clarins super restorative day cream - wiba no. gives a lovely brightness to skin but is also a bit drying.
clinique repairwear lip treatment - wiba no. nothing spectacular.
hi noelphobic - i cannot use liz earle cleanser - always brings me out in horrible spots - think itd the oils, natural or not!Declutter 300 things in December challenge, 9/300. Clear the living room. Re-organize storage

A couple of UU to report!
Kiss My Face Pear Soap WIBA? No, it was alright but nothing spectacular. Used it in the bath.
Lush Joy of Jelly Shower Jelly WIBA? Was a free sample, but no. I never really got on with the format of it, it was very fiddly and tbh from the first time I used it I was looking forward to getting rid of it.March win: Fair Squared organic spa skincare set

did PYNW last night,back to no 7 salsa ,lovely sparkly red just right for summer and lasts well,off to a 75th lunch on sat so will wear sandels to show off pretty feet:)
been using the new scholl hard skin remover pen WNBA as did not have much efect on hard skin where toes rub together(also bought the tube of cream so will try that next)
started using body mitt each morning then putting loads of body butter on as skin looks very dry and flaky after body brushing
lost a tiny bit of weight (down to 81.9) but still a way to go:(0 -
Well done, Rosemary on weight loss :T.
I have had a UU today: Oral-B Essential Floss waxed dental floss. This is approx. 79p/89p from Home Bargains. I have used Boots Smile Freshmint Dental Floss for years, which is £1.89, and have 2 of these 'in stock' plus a half used up one which I keep at work with a toothbrush and toothpaste for when I'm visiting the dentist or going out straight from work! The Oral-B floss is thinner but once I got used to it I actually preferred it. I will use up the Boots flosses first but will then convert to Oral-B if I can get it at Home Bargains as it is £2.65 :eek: in Boots.0 -
Just found another pump of Liz Earle's Shine and Polish and a big tube of Aveena Daily Moisture Complex.
Can't believe it. Where did they come from?!
Am using the Liz Earle instead of the Nivea for the time being as it is older and organic, so I need to use it up before it goes off.Please call me 'Pickle'

Well done on the weight loss Rosemary, that's fab!
Used up a Time Delay night serum...still not sure about serums in general but do have another bottle and would probably buy it again when the skincare vouchers are out in Boots as it does seem to feel nice.
Also finshed off a fcuk body lotion, do love the smell of this but it is so hard to get it out of the pump bottle when it's nearly gone so would maybe buy again!
Off down to Devon later on to see my parents for the weekend (Dad's bithday) so will be hoping to use up a few samples!I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul, I want you to notice when I'm not around[/SIZE][/FONT][/B]0 -
Hi all,
Well done on the UUs and the deals. Good to see a list or two as well. Why is it so interesting?!I'm just going through my eBay Watch list deleting things going "I don't need that, I can live without that, I really really want that so I'll wait until the bids get higher before deleting it!":rotfl:
Well done rosemary54 on the weight loss - every little counts! And also, thank you for reminding me that I need to remember my targets in this area.
No more UUs as yet. Funny how when you're tyring to use stuff up it lasts longer... or is that just me?
I resisted Boots today... thankfully it's not a huge store I can lose myself in!
Catch up with you all later0 -
Had a UU that I didn't realise was a use up until I tried to use it this morning. :rotfl:
Beyond Coastal SPF 30 mineral sunscreen WIBA? Yes yes yes! I have super sensitive skin and get heat rash with most sunscreens but this one I found by accident at a surf shop in the US a few years back. I have since bought other tubes online from the US. It is pretty thick but doesn't turn you white -- which is good because I am pasty as a Victorian porcelain doll as is! And more importantly, it is water resistant and works!
I've opened up a new tube and have put some on today because I'm going to cycle into town to get some things and pot up some lovely tomato and chili plants that OH's sis gave us last night, so I will be spending lots of time outside. :TMarch win: Fair Squared organic spa skincare set

Hi girls,
Well done on use ups and welcome to all the newbies - I'm sure you'll love it here!
Quickly, a confession to make - just bought some more fake tan, AS I HAVE USED UP ALL OF MINE!!!!!!! Woohoo!! I ordered 1x Vita Liberata, 1x Fake Bake Beyond Bronze and 1x Ambre Soleil No Streaks bronzer as I will use these up at some point (and ordering online as sooooo much cheaper & thought I'd may as well just pay the postage once!)
I have been leaving my skin to breathe for a week or so from fake tan and have noticed that I am nowhere near as pale as I thought I was, so I will not be afraid to lay off it in future. Don't get me wrong -I'm not orange, just a 'healthy' glow IYSWIM but as I have dark hair and green eyes I can sometimes look washed out if no tan on! Better start practicing my tan for Ascot in a couple of weeks
I steered clear of the other deals on the sites so that's something i guess! Hoping the taps on the bath will be fixed by the time I get home tonight although not holding out much hope on that one! I've defo minimised the stash, the boxes under the bed look half empty now! Starting to re-clear out my rubbish in the house as the move out looks back on although with another friend this time (fingers crossed) - as it's a boy I won't have to compete with space for my stash in the new house :rotfl: . sooooo bags have been donated to a work collegues little girls and scary challenge of my 3xwardrobes, 2xchests of drawers and storage boxes this weekend!0
