    Used up a shower gel today, my last one, so now going to use bubble bath (as I rarely have baths) and soap in the shower.

    morning all, feeling slightly worse for wear this morning so no make up or moisturiser etc applied (look nearly as bad as i feel :rotfl: )

    I have a UU - Natrel spray deoderant. WIBA yes, I got this (full size) can in our goodie bag at the clothes show in december and it's been hiding in my suitcase ever since (so i never forget one - i remember i went through a phase of being sensible like this but then I think it was just an excuse for me hiding the products!) It was a nice freebie, done the job well and was lightly fragranced

    On the hairdye front....I went home, stressing out about the colour but i gave it a thorough shampoo twice and conditioned it, and when I dried it it wasn't as bad as I first imagined. Even my sister said it had calmed down compared to what it had looked like in the morning. I think I will need to dye it again but will wait till i get back :)

    Hope you all have a good day and enjoy using up your products! xx

    Another white ginger shampoo used up this morning - I think this is the last one apart from one in my suitcase toiletries bag! So pleased to be rid of them, they seemed to be breeding! Finishing off another Trevor Sorbie straightening shampoo over the weekend and then back to full size bottles to use - I think I have half empty Boots Essentials, Charles Worthington Body Beautiful, Toni and Guy Volumising and two Tresemme 900mls! Don't think I'll be buying any shampoo for the rest of the year! Also have a John Frieda root shampoo that I love but will only use on a special occasion so as to not use it too fast as it's the only one of the above that I actually like!

    Was very naughty and went into the Body Shop near work (tut) and bought two body exfoliators reduced to £5 from £12 each (double tut). I got to the checkout and they said that there was a special offer in that if I bought 2 more, I would get 1 free, so I got 4 for £15, or £3.75 each. Which is good value, but still very naughty! :o

    Holy c**p! If you wanna throw some of that in my direction :D

    Can I join? Slightly late but I havent bought anything. Helps I have no money :o but I will still have to resist on payday.

    :wave: :D Welcome to the gang hon. :beer: Holy C**p indeed my lovely. :eek: The only thing I can say in my defence is that I'm working on it! :o:D

    And on that note...

    UU Daniel Sandler Mineral Sheer Tint WIBA? He doesn't make it any more so I can't. This was my "no make up" look tinted moisturiser for about the last eighteen months or so. It's sheer and warms up my skin tone making me look healthier - but not made up. I loved it. Back to Bobbi Brown and Jemma Kidd now I guess. (I love them too, but they're not like this.)

    UU Ren Mayblossom Cleanser 5 ml WIBA? Probably not. It would be great for oily skins who like to feel a bit "stripped" or they don't feel properly clean, but it's not the greatest at taking off foundation etc. I always double cleanse anyway - but I still don't love it. This is the last one of these and I've had to be quite firm with myself to get them finished up.

    UU Alpha H Eye complex 15ml WIBA? Oh my god yes. This is pretty much the only eye product I've ever used that has done anything for my rough and purplish inner corners and eyelids! Luckily I have a couple in The Stash.

    I'm specifically targeting products and using them up until they're gone rather than chopping and changing so much - and because I have so many minis it's really working for me on the UU front.

    Hope it's going well for everybody else. It's hotter than hell today huh? :eek: I'm definitely having a refreshing Dermalogica bath later! (That'll be another sachet down! :D;))
