    Hi, I am in for June again. My stash is going down well although I am now ploughing through huge bottles of S&G shower gel and body butter which may take a whole month to use up :rotfl:.

    I'm in again, I can see my stash of body lotion/butters slowly sneaking up. Found a mini BS shea butter so will be using that eventually and remembered I have 10x 10ml sachets of BS mango butter to use as well. Want to put some things on this weekend as its free listing and hopefully get rid of some things that are taking up room. Got rid of quite a few things after having a huge clear out but now have a box of things I have no use for.

    Might buy a couple of copies of glamour if I see it, my mascara feels like it's drying up and it would be nice to try the primer.

  • I'm in for June!

    Thanks to Sunshineyday for starting the thread :) and hello to any newbies!
    May was quite a good month for me as I managed to give a few bits away and chucked some other stuff that was starting to get a bit manky. Now onwards and upwards and hopefully I will have cleared some more before going travelling in September. At least it means I don't have to spend any money...

    first UUs of the month:

    clearasil cleansing wipes- WNBA- too expensive for what doesn't feel any different to boots own. Trying to UU the face wipes stash and not buy any more, my mum has a habit of buying them for me whenever she sees them!

    BS Passionfruit shower gel- WBA- smelt good enough to drink! lasted quite a while too, had it since december and using it a few times a week, it has lasted 5 months:money:

    And I'm back again (as usual!) :D

    I have at least one sputterer, so I'm hoping that I'll get through a few more before the end of the month (I can think of at least 3 that are likely to die).

    Have fun Using Up everyone! :D

    Please count me in again too:)

    Whilst I'm not a prolific poster, I need this thread to keep me on the straight and narrow;)

    Thanks to Sunshineyday for this months thread :T

    I've never done a "stash list" - I'm too ashamed :o:o:o.....but....

    I have tried to rein in my spending and have been very :money: in trying to UU some of my stash.

    I've got an AB green apple shampoo in the soap dispenser as the shampoo makes my scalp dry and itchy but it's fine for hands and I can use some of my mountain of hand cream up straight after too :D

    I found a bottle pump from a UU Tigi conditioner that fits my BS Papaya shower gel so now I don't struggle to get anything out of the bottle ending up with handfuls of the stuff going everywhere..a couple of pumps straight on the the buff puff thingy and I'm away :D

    I've finished my night creams up so instead of buying more I'm using oils instead, currently on a Clarins santal one from my stash:)

    Finally I'm going on holiday next weekend so have put aside all my samples to sort out and take with me :)

    I've avoided the TSV's although they are all on my "want to try" list...more as I've nowhere I could hide them from DH than anything else :mad:

    Enjoy the long weekend everyone

    Also some UUs to report from last month that I didn't get around to reporting!

    Superdrug Mud Therapy Raspberry Exfoliating Mask - WIBA? - I adore the smell but not sure if it actually does anything for my skin. :(

    Nelsons Pure & Clear Purifying Daily Facial Wipes - WIBA? - I won these as part of a skincare package. They smell nice and left my skin feeling refreshed.

    Imperial Leather Japanese Spa Foamburst - WIBA? - I really like this range as it's good for shaving and lasts for ages!

    James Brown Scandalous Rich Moisturising Shampoo - WIBA? - This was a freebie that I got with a magazine a couple of years ago! Leaves my hair looking nice but I wasn't that keen on the smell.

    Superdrug Away with the Fairies Dry Shampoo - WIBA? - Yes! This is my favourite dry shampoo. It does the job and smells lovely!

    Schwarzkopf LIVE Colour XXL Shake It Up Colour Foam in Violet Berry Burst - WIBA? - Yep. I adore the colour and the smell is so much better (it smells of strawberries). However, you do tend to end up with a big dye mass at the bottom of the tub!
