Weekend u/u: gwp Lancome Sumptuous mascara. WIBA ? - nothing special about it.

Conditioner that came with Excell10 hair colour - have loads of them, so will use up before I buy another conditioner.

Afternoon all, been awol recently, so busy! I have finished several things, most recently a boring Tesco shower gel last night (and still have 3 more, from a stockpile from when they were 20p :o). Have done ok with buying - one organic cleanser which was on offer at £2 - I've wanted to try it for a while, and 5 shower gels in Waitrose, not sure what happened there... :rotfl::rotfl::D

More UU's to report. Another M&S face wash, same as before, the creamy one from the Formula collection for dry skin. Also finished the mahoosive bottle of Herbal Essences Hello Hydration (or whatever it's called...the blue one) shampoo. WIBA? Probably not. Feels ok while you're washing it, but afterwards I think my hair just looks dull and feels tangly.

Also finished off a trial size Green People Aloe Vera conditioner. WIBA? Yes, fab conditioner, no nasties and leaves hair looking and feeling amazing. As soon as I use up my stash I'll be stashing some of this.

One in to report...a Jergen's hand cream with aloe vera in it for use at work. Was sooo tempted to fling the new Soap and Glory shampoo and conditioner in my basket at Boots aswell, but I resisted.

The bottles around the bath are decreasing and soon I'll have to get some more products out of the stash. I'm currently working on a Lancome facewash and a Body Shop shampoo.

Oh don't go there, I started making a list of all the OPI nail varnishes I want the other day and there were loads!! I really want 'You don't know Jacques' and 'Call Your Mother' amongst others, but I'm trying to be good

Hope your nail grows back quickly

Well as predicted, a couple of INs for me. 2 bottles of Listerine as I was out, dental sticks as I was at the dentist yesterday who said to use them daily (surely following a professional's advice doesn't count:p) and 2 packs of cotton wool. I have been using up so many products I find I am whizzing through these. I have been thinking about getting some washable facial cloths instead - any recommendations ladies?

Only 1 UU for me. An 8ml sample of Clarins Firming Body Care which I really liked. It absorbed really quickly not even tacky to the touch, lovely smell and skin feels so soft. I might ask Santa for that one.

I'm so desperate to use something up I'm tempted to over indulge in bubble bath tonight. I've decided that I will melt down ends of soap, so I have at least started a new one...or one I used in a hotel and brought home, its lovely, very orange blossom scented. I did at least get as far a painting my nails (only the second time since I moved).

Its also worth noting since I got to lazy to use as much body butter/moisteriser my skin is less soft.

Have had a few use ups the last couple of days.

The first was a cleanser, the good thing with this one is that hubby decided to start using it too (only because I told him the tea tree would help with his spots :j) and has decided to help me out with the one I've just opened so hopefully that won't take too long to use up either. Now have 10 cleansers left.

My deodorant is spluttering and am not sure if I'll get another use out of it tomorrow morning so think I'm going to say it's finished. Now down to 7.

Also finally finished off my shaving foam. Just have to hope my hairdresser pays me a visit with my Avon order as I now have no shaving gel until she does :eek:

Bubble bath and hubby's shower gel are on their last legs so will have to replace them soon although I don't think hubby has too many of his shower gels left.

2 UU's to report: Sachet of Nivea Visage Be Beautiful! Tinted Moisturiser in "Natural". WIBA? Yes. This has a matt finish and claims to 'adapt to your natural skin tone' and I have to admit it did look pretty natural. I have plenty of Body Shop tinted moisturiser and other foundations to use yet but have made a note of this one to look out for in the future. Luckily, I have one more sachet of this which I'll start on tomorrow.

Also UU a sachet of Vaseline Intensive Rescue Moisture Locking Cream for Very Dry Skin. WIBA? No. I really didn't like this at all. It has no perfume but the worst thing is it is awful to apply. It's difficult to explain exactly but it didn't spread at all well, good riddance!

footymadgirl - It might well have been Julian Graves where I got my first lot of that JASON stuff - I honestly cant remember.... but it should be findable....

Oooh, goody, I love the Julian Graves shop and will be going shopping to a town on Saturday which has one. I shall just have to try to resist all of the lovely nuts and stuff!
