    Pastures New - it doesn't really sound like you need our help! :rotfl: Congratulations on having such a minimalistic routine :)

    ilovecakes - it looks like we have the same aims this month. Good luck! :)

    maddiemay - I keep meaning to say that you need to use a good sunscreen when you use the Liquid Gold. You probably know that already though but I keep worrying that you might not :rotfl:

    I use Liquid Gold as well (love it!!) and I use This Works skin defence facial sunscreen - it is spf 30 and slightly tinted so you don't get a chalky looking face. It smells amazing too!

    First UUs of the month!
    liz earle 15ml size dry/sensitive moisturiser - HG
    simply argan argan oil - WNBA i think this is overpriced
    REN glycolactic mask - wba my skin seemed to like it. have got another mini to give it a long term try.
    balance me shower gel - wnba, its not a patch on the dr brannier
    l’occitane conditioner - wnba, did the job but i think the full size will be overpriced.

    I am in again :) can't quite believe it is August already.

    I really don't need to buy anything this month so going for a no spend month. I am also hoping to finally use up one of my large 500ml shower gels. They are lasting forever!

    Thank you for your concern:A, I am currently using a Clinique, too lazy to go and look if it is SPF 30 or 40, and I have a small size of a Decleor to try afterwards. I have always used at least SPF15, which is the reason, I believe, that I am less lined than a lot of my peer group:D
    I don't sunbathe, my legs are startling white:rotfl:, but since I read that it is likely that all fake tan is tested on animals, I don't use it, although have a gift set from last Christmas in drawer. I need to do more research on animal testing, if anyone has any links for source material could you let me know, I really need to review my products and work towards more ethical brands if possible.
