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

I put them into a spare Lush black pot and scoop a bit out - lasts ages that way!

I had a rather unconventional UU last night - Simple Spot Zapper. Dropped it behind my desk (unintentionally) - there's no way I'm rummaging around down there and I really can't be bothered to take everything off my desk, move it and retrieve something that was about to be used up anyway so it can stay there until I do a big spring clean!

Also used up my Soap & Glory cream - I forget the name but it's the anti-wrinkle one in the round mirror-like tub. Might buy it again when I'm older if it's still around but I'm too young to have many wrinkles at this stage. Not sure why I bought it in the first place if I'm honest!

Two INs today - 2 bottles of Superdrug toner from the 49p box. I don't feel too guilty about this as I didn't have any other big bottles in the stash, my current bottle only has a third left and they were really cheap.

I had a tidy up in the hall and found a brand new soap and glory body scrub (of your life) and a burts bees peppermint foot cream. So at some point, I have come in from boots, put my shopping in the hall then never actually NOTICED that I hadnt even put the things I had bought away. Too much stuff!

I spent the last hour cleaning and organising my drawers
that felt great to actually see everything I have in a neat order lol

2 more UU's:

Boots hair serum
WNBA - Although in all fairness, I think this was a very inexpensive hair serum that lasted a long time. This was such a LHJ, 10 months to be exact, but it made my fine thin hair slightly greasy, so I WNBA.

DDF mattifying oil control face lotion
WNBA - The spf scent is slightly too strong for me conidering it's only spf 15.
I'm so glad this is used up, it was another LHJ, thankfully it was only a 1.7 fl oz size.

Besides I have 3x S&G hand foods to use up and a Nivea hand cream!! !

Use this quickly as when it goes it really sticks :mad: I have 2 that have now became my foot cream, even then it's a thought to use it as the smell stains my hands.

A couple more UU to report -

Lush Cinders ballistic - WBA, can't get enough of these, thing there are 2 more in the stash

DHC Velvet Skin Coat - WNBA, made me an oily mess! Well even more than I am already! Think I might give up on primers for the moment.

Lush Karma soap - Finished up the bar that was by the sink.

And a couple of IN's to report;

Lush New Shampoo Bar and Lush Hair Doctor. I needed something to help sort my hair loss out and these have quite good reviews.

I thought that was well about the DHC velvet skin coat, so i switched to Benefit Porefressional

Wow can't believe its Sunday night, where has the weekend gone:( Nevermind 4 more working days and I'm off to the beach:jShort break in North Devon but get to go to my fav beach so very excited:)

3 UUs Boots Nautural collection passionfruit shower gel, Tesco Vit E face scrub and Boots cucumber eye makeup remover. Would buy again but you guessed it, I don't need it:)

Another UU so that is another £1 in my pot. Boots No 7 Protect and perfect hand cream - sample size (15ml). This had a nice smell and sank in to my hands well but my HG hand cream products are L'Occitane shea butter hand cream, LE Hand Repair and Aveda Hand Relief (which I got to test for The Beauty Bible). Some way to go before I need to buy more handcream but these will be my 3 faves when I need to make a purchase.

Sorry, do not know how to do quote yet.

No, I was very good. I thought I might buy the neutral option, but decided to go through my stash and individually buy anything I really wanted. I love the correction fluid and brushes, I sometimes have eczema on my fingers and find this does not make it flare too much, also I like Renovate and Bio-build. Normally I go for brights and dark colours, but my nails are in very poor condition after much mis-use before and after a house move. I dipped into several of the presentations, they had masses of sell outs even without our contribution!
