Everyone is doing super well with all their UU's.

I got two that will be UU tomorrow yaya!

Congrats to all with new jobs/positions, I've been searching for a job (even part time) with no such luck.

Another UU this morning!

Molton brown pink pepperpod shower gel 300ml

It was a nice shower gel but would stick to heavenly gingerlily in the future.

I also threw out a bottle of perfume which I've had since I was 16 and have worn once, I thought it was time to let go...

I have some INs:

Gave some mascaras that were in the pile for Origins recycling to Clinique so me and my mum each got our free High Lengths sample.

Also gave 2 bags of emptys to Origins and me and my mum both got a 5ml of the new Youthtopia firming cream.

my mum didn't know about either of these so she's pretty chuffed with them both. she's also raided 3 separate YSL counters for sachets of the new serum and got 3 of those. its clear where my habit has come from :rotfl:

I finally UU a hand cream: Monoprix mains et ongles. Peaux seches. Meh, I got this cheap handcream when I moved to France au pairing in 2009... it was ok, nothing special so WNBA. Besides I have 3x S&G hand foods to use up and a Nivea hand cream!! Decided to help UU my Monoprix by using it on my feet the last few days because I was so impatient of its neverending-ness!! Thanks for the idea, whose ever it was!

This is such a great idea! my boyfriend has banned me from buying new toiletries, I'm going to use this to get brownie points at home :j

Got a huge hamper of soap and glory for christmas so I've got more to work my way through :-). I'm a realy horder, I take freebies from hotels and never throw them away. Useful for when I travel but I find I create a massive stash instead of reducing it!

There are 2 showers in our hourse. I usually stick to one, but when it's taken I take some other toiletries and use the second one. This is a good one to try when you have 50ml or 100ml travel size products, as you get through them quite quickly anyway!

I'm going to do this with make up too. Got far far too much. At least this will force me to be glam every day to use up the products!

One OUT to report today - Lush Sugar Babe sugar scrub. It's discontinued now but WNBA as it didn't last very long (I think it took me about two and a half showers to use up and a lot of it disappeared down the plughole) so wasn't very good value.

Did you buy these from Ebay? Only asking because I wasn't aware that Boots sold the Gok items singularly. Do Boots only sell Gok products at Christmas as well? Only asking as Emma has developed a fondness for his products. They smell too floral for me though.

I think Boots only sells Gok products at Christmas as I never see them any other time of year, but there may be some knocking around on eBay. They are on my to try list but I think it'll be at least a year before that happens!

I bash the sugar scrubs apart and take a little tub with some into the bath or shower. They last me about 8 uses.
