    That's really good advice kiplingmonkey but have you seen the TSVs coming up in April? There are three that are potential danger zones for me : Philosophy (I really am short of fragrance), LD (not short of nail lacquer but I really don't think you can have too many although his TSVs have been leaving me cold lately), Elemis which features my beloved PCMC.

    Yes, I have seen the TSVs - Elemis and Philosophy will be my danger ones, especially as I saw the contents of the Elemis one at the BB - it was an amazing price with either PCMC or the night time one. I won't be tempted by the LD - I think he's great but I don't get much time to paint my nails so will be able to resist. Am not going to do the Gatineau today. It is a great price but having done the L'Occitane last week (on AD) then handcream is the last thing I will be needing. Great price though and I do love the neck gel. Am not typing any more otherwise I will have convinced myself I need to buy it.:rotfl:

    No more UUs up this month but will hopefully have some UUs early on in April.

    Have a good weekend everyone xx

    Hi all,
    Happy Saturday :D

    2 final March UU:

    Arran Aromatics after the rain soap 150g WIBA? Maybe, at a good price, it was a nice soap, I have tonnes more soap though.

    Dove pro-age shampoo 50ml WIBA? Unexpected UU from my swimming bag, didn't realise there was so little left. I was going to give this to mum- but decided I would be probably just be moving it from my bathroom cupboard to hers. Might as well just use it up.

    1 IN (free with ACP) Boots Tea Tree face mask sachet. I will use this tonight, but hopefully get two uses out of it :)

    I have another few sputterers so should be a good start to April. :D

    Enjoy the rest of your day everyone.

    I've had 20 UU this month! Unfortunately I have to *owe* it to my tin because my car is being ridiculous.

    I'm not about to catch up on the rest of the thread :)

    A UU for me, last one of the month.

    Boots Soltan Face SPF30 - WBA, didn't break me out and wasn't too greasy to put makeup over.

    Can anyone recommend any other facial sunscreens? Anyone tried Sunsense Daily Face? It seems to be recommended by dermatologists a lot. I have very dry skin so will most likely need to use an additional moisturiser with any sunscreen I buy, the most important parts are that the sun protection works and that I can apply foundation over it.

    I may get some of the Soltan one anyway as it's half price at the moment had has 5* UVA protection too, which a lot of more expensive ones don't!

    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Johnsons-Sun-Care-Johnson-Protection/dp/B003CQZSX8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1333202742&sr=8-2

    I use this one and I find it really is awesome- no break outs, no greasy-ness and quick to absorb.

    I'm REALLY pale and conscious of sun burn after having a few moles removed and this stuff is FAB- i really do recommend it.

    I have had a sort out of the stash and this has led to some TA

    No.7 Lip Pallet, quite old looking a bit old and its definitely more than 2 years old so out it goes
    A Models Prefer Lip Gloss never used but think its very old I know it was a gift but can not remember when from and don't like the colour any way so another TA
    Avon sun screen opened again think this is more than 2 years old so bin
    Solait Scalp and Hair Protection Spray as above

    Not bad everything is tidied up a bit and 4 TA, unfortunately I found 4 open hand creams.

    Finally finished that bottle of Sally Hansen maximum strength moisturizin/hydrant for dry, brittle nails Polish Remover. WNBA. Made my nails brittle! Anyhoos, our labels are sometimes weird because of the bilingual requirements here. I bought it because I thought it would be gentle. Replaced with another bottle of remover from the stash.

    UU Yardley Apothary O~Live It Up Salt Body Scrub. Nothing special but then I think I bought it about 5 years ago and it finally surfaced. Three more scrubs under the sink. Do they even still make this stuff?

    UU Nivea Body -DNAge anti-age body care - Zone Action. 150ml. Liked it but it appears Nivea Canada has changed all the packaging and wording, do who knows. I have more body lotion in the cupboard. Replaced it with a sputter I found in my husband/son's bathroom, which is also Nivea

    GA a tube of Avon handcream to the work sinktop. Can't remember which one but everyone seems to like it.

    I am never going to have a huge stash again. There is so much stuff out there to try that waiting to get through this lot is terrible.

    Oh, and the March GlossyBox is still not here. They are claiming that some stuff took forever to get through Customs and that's why they are late. Have a look at their Canadian Facebook page if you want to see some snarky comments.

    Good luck with the battle.
