Hello everyone

I was away last week and have just got caught up with the thread again! As always when I come back from a trip, I am amazed when I come back into my flat how much stuff I have! Sometimes I just want to chuck the whole lot and start over (not that I could afford that but I could be an instant graduate )

I have a couple of UU, mega LHJ these were too!

Johnsons Holiday Skin lotion - this has been open for about 2 years because I just never remembered to use it, I have been going for the pale and interesting look for some time. No need to buy again as have more in the stash. I have opened a Clinique GWP self sun in the mean time because it is smaller

Body Shop banana conditioner- WNBA, just got fed up of it, the last inch in the bottle seemed to last about 6 months! Bought it in a fit of nostalgia as I used to use it when I was at school

And now for the Ins:

Lipsmacker strawberry lip balm from the Glamour giveaway
Tea tree shampoo from the poundshop (have to stop browsing toiletries in there, I can't resist the cheapness)
2 samples from L'Occitane, an eye cream and a brightening lotion

I have copied SuiDreams idea from last month and written an actual list of things I want to UU this month because I have ended up with loads of moisturisers all on the go at once. I am going to use the ones on the list first and nothing else til they go!

Have a good evening everyone

IN's

Hiya ladies:

UU's:

1. L'oreal Elvive triple resist reinforcing shampoo - this was only ¢1.94 last month at boots for a tall 400ml bottle. I feel like it actually did work in hair retention. If it comes on offer again, I will buy it.

2. TBS Coconut body scrub - I was surprised that I actually didn't mind the smell of this as I usually hate coconut scented skincare/bodycare. It left my skin moisturised afterwards, but I probably wouldn't buy again. This was a gift so I used it gratefully, but I'm not sold.

3. Biotherm Eau pure - This is the culprit from last night! I burned my face with this because the sample bottle looked like a skincare toner instead of a perfume sample. What gives biotherm? Anways, used this up today - smelled amazing, but too expensive for me to consider re-purchasing.

4. Escada island kiss perfume sample - didn't last long on me, but smelled sweet and youthful

5. Aura by Swarovski perfume sample - top note is fresh but the base note was too woodsy for me.

6. Especially Escada perfume sample - I didn't like how it smelled after a few hours on me, it was too spicy for my liking

7. yardley english daisy perfume sample - got to love this perfume, extremely affordable and smells just like MJ's daisy but at the fraction of the cost.

SuiDreams

Another freebie in from the Glamour giveaway Montagne Jeunesse Very Berry Face Mask 15g, I can't decide if I should keep this or not as this one is a favourite of one of my nieces.

I will have another out soon as currently scrapping the last of my lip balm out of the bottom.

Think I need to come up with a list of targeted uu for this month as it worked so well last month.

VALM

No UUs but more importantly no INs either. Day 12 and still no spend on toiletries. I did buy 2 x YC votives today though - I think the fragrance is called Love me, Love me not.

I actually brought toiletries in the shops:j
Sainsburys have good deals at the mo so got simple day and night cream for £4, most of which was paid for with my gift card from valued opinions. Nearly out of face cream so was needed. Also brought a roll on and spray garnier minerals deodrant as they were half price and mine are starting to get low. Ive also added in the timoti golden highlights shampoo and conditioner into my Asda shop later in the week...sick of using not so nice hotel samples because we don't have any proper stuff now. Speaking of which, I'm off to see which I can get rid of next:)

OK, so who is tired of all this rain and horrible weather??? Where is our summer this year? I think we got spoiled from the beautiful summer we had last year.

So in order to brighten up our summer days, the next swap exchange is commencing

SUNSHINE SUNSWAP DETAILS

This wil be like the christmas swap and the easter egg swap, but revamped. So the basis of the swap is still the same. You get the name and address of a buddy and you send them a gift. In the past it was a minimum of £5, and everyone has been so generous and have sent more. Stash shopping is always encouraged as that is why we are all on here

Now here's the NEW and FUN part of this swap. We will be utilising a new website that allows you to send annoymous emails to your buddy to ask them questions. They won't know who you are, but this helps in finding out your buddies likes/disklikes. You can also write a wishlist where your buddy can see. This doesn't mean they will or have to buy what you wrote, but it gives an idea of what you are wanting. This really helps your buddy (and yourself) customise your package. It's super fun and easy to use.

If you are interested in joining the SUNSWAP, please email me with your name and email address. You will then get an evite to the exchange online

Super easy, and super fun!!:cool:

SIGNUPS begin today and will end on July 1st. On July 1st, the exchange website will pick a buddy for you (I won't be picking) randomly, and you will get to see their address and wishlist and you can begin to ask questions, etc. etc.

All gifts should be posted by the end of July/beginning of August, but can be sent earlier if you wish.

(Nothing is set in stone, so feedback is more than welcome)

So who wants to play????:j:beer::rotfl:

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me

I'm late to the party again! Love to join, I'll PM my details now
