UU from the shower this morning:

BS lavender shower gel-WNBA- not too crazy about lavender and I'm sure it's not made anymore. Still have most of the EDT to use:(

Ellie Saab, Le Parfum, 1ml - WMBA, if not too expensive. Lovely sophisticated scent

I'm trying to make this sample last as long as possible! It's such a sweet scent but I love it It's pricy though (although probably quite normal for that kind of perfume). If I can find a good offer (or use Advantage Points) I might make a 30ml bottle my reward for 100 UUs ( a loooong way off! :rotfl:)

A UU! :dance:

Time Technology Cream (10ml) by Institut Esthederm - WNBA. It's really lovely so I made this sample pot last as long as possible but at £61.50 for 50ml (that was the cheapest! :eek: It £69+ elsewhere) there is no way I'll be buying this :rotfl:

I have three splutterers so hope for more UUs very soon :T

Great list, SuiDreams! Even if you only get through half that will be fab. Best of luck :-)

Kaz - I'm sure it's a real shock to the system for people that aren't already trying to be :money: Are you taking part with your Son as a school event? I've never heard of Weezl before today - so many interesting things pop up on this thread! :rotfl:

EvilSquid - ha! That's a shame I'm glad that you got good use out of it before it turned on you and caused an eye infection...It's worth re-buying then?

SuiDreams - I love High Beam and my bottle has lasted for years (doesn't sound v hygienic but it seems to be fine and I only use a teeny amount at a time). I like the idea of choosing something lovely as way of being encouraged to do well (I don't deserve any treats this months after today's INS )

I haven't been that good but think that as long as the stash is going in the downward direction, I deserve a treat. My new aim is to only get Amarya box, plus if I've been good I purchase (but has to be well thought out and something that's not already in the stash). That should be good incentive. Can't wait to get the High Beem though.

IN - Burt's Bees Acai Berry lip balm, to replace the broken one. I like it very much so far, think its worth the £3.80 I paid for it.

I think these lip balms are my HG. I especially like the lip shimmers.

UU:
Sephora body lotion mini - WBA, i love this stuff. it sinks in really quickly and is a really light silky lotion. if only we had sephora over here! :mad:

I'm starting to get to the point where lots of my stash and in use is now full size so i think my UU will start to slow down. i have got some minis and travel sizes left but I've stashed them for my holidays in aug to stop me re-buying a load of travel sizes to take with me then!

I hear what you're saying about Sephora. We need these stores and ULTA to open over here.

I'm the same in that I don't have many minis left. The UUs are already slowing down.

I had an accident this morning that has resulted in a TA. I was in my ensuite this morning getting ready for work. I was putting the final touches to my face and was rushing about. I knocked my Clinique Blushing Nude lipstick off my very wide shelf and it hit off the sink and straight into the toilet :eek:.

It was only a week and a half into use so I am not amused. Serves me right for running late this morning. I must go to bed earlier so I can get out of bed in time in the morning.

Wel I WNBA as it didn't stay put and disappeared after half an hour of wearing.

Initially read this as WNBA as it didn't stay put on the shelf :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Typical though that you'd hardly used it.

I've had a few UU in the shower this morning and came home to a couple of IN through the post:

UU - Tesco Face Scrub 75ml - Can't remember exactly what its called and I'd cut the tube down, also too lazy to check my stash list but its basically their version of Botanics right down to the very very similar packaging. Nice product, does the job at what I imagine was a reasonable price. From the original stash and still one more smaller tube to go. WBA but I'm not sure they still do it.

L'Oreal Excell 10 Cashmere Balm - fancy name for the intensive conditioner you get with the hair colourant - hair is super silky after I've used this - more in the stash, my HG dye so will be more IN in future.

Clearasil Perfectawash sachet - Smelt nice but prefer something that lathers up, too small a sample to know what the longer term effects of using this are. Have a cracking hormonal-related spot doing a great impression of a small volcano on my chin at the moment, would have been a great trial but alas one use is not going to make a great deal of impact! Probably WNBA as the gadget your meant to use to dispense it is fairly pricey. Other similar products I like better.

IN are L'Oreal Hair Expertise EverPure Shampoo & Conditioner 10ml sachets - looking forward to trying these

OUT - Nails Inc Hyde Park base coat. WNBA as whilst it did bond well to the nail polish it didn't make an enormous difference to the condition of my nails. Still got another bottle in the stash though.

Hi, did you manage to get to the bottom of your bottle? I had one and it went really gloopy so that I couldn't get anymore out. I don't think I chucked it either - will try and add some nail lacquer thinner to it.

a TA, my urban decay lush lash system has given me an eye infection exactly where i put it on my eyelid last night. looks like the serum must have gone off as well as the mascara bit :mad:

Ouch, that sounds sore evilsquid.

Totally OT (again, I'm sorry ) I have made potato cakes this evening. They were very cheap to make, mashed potato mixed into a dough with flour then rolled out to 1cm thick and fried. Eat with a sprinkle of sugar or a smear of butter/jam/whatever. I reckon they're 1p each as I ended up adding loads more flour than the recipe stated. These will do me beautifully for snacks during the day though.
So far for today, I'm at a total of 72.91p so I can have a few cups of tea tonight
