UU: L'occitane verbana citrus body lotion 30ml - my skin is eating this stuff up, got in the last exchange

No UU to report here today but have painted my nails with Sally Hansen Midnight in NY and have to say I kind of like it!

I know what you mean, I've used up a couple of eye shadows and I've hit pan on a few more but I can't seem to use up blush or lip products! I never seem to be able to even make a dent in them!

Exactly. I even re-applied lippy and gloss twice today as part of my concerted effort!

On the mascara thing... I first read it and was like I've never had a mascara dry out on me. Then when the pumping/air mixing words of wisdom came... I realised it's because with my HG mascara (Lancome Hypnose) I can do all lashes in a one-er so reducing wand re-entry!!!

evilsquid1603 - the same thing happened to a figs & rouge balm that I had too, and after a very short time of owning it!

I have a UU and a non bought in to report

UU = Clarins extra comfort toning lotion (10mls) - WMBA when I've used my others up - this doesn't sting my very sensitive cheeks

Non bought in is a late birthday present from my mum - it's a Dr Renaud Azulene Fresh Calming Gel from M & S. First use is very encouraging as it is a pale blue gel that really calms and cools my cheeks when I apply it:D

ps. dolly84 - I bought a burnt orange Nissan Micra with all the bells and whistles:j

No uu's to report, though every time I use my clean on me (mini size) I think this could be the last use but NO!
How can the same amount last for so long!!:rotfl:

thank you everyone - i've binned my first eyeliner! was a Dior one i got with an xmas palette a while ago. was just useless! sadly my Neals Yard one looks like its going to be the same

also binned a figs and rouge balm, this went really odd and almost waxy like. i think i have another one somewhere - will have to dig it out and see if this has gone the same way!


UU:
Dr Haushka toner, milk cleanser, cleansing cream, Day Cream, Rose day cream, Quince Day cream. WBA for all of it tbh - my skin seemed to like them.
clarins bronze eyeliner - was excellent, years old but still worked brilliantly. great staying power too! WBA.
Origins Ginzing - HG
smashbox mini powder - WBA but tbh, no different to other powder's i've tried. onto a deluxe size i got of this in summer now.
bare minerals eye primer normal - new HG. this stuff is brill. keeps eye make up in place and i've even woke up after a long night with my eyeshadow still intact! (dont judge me! it was a one off and I was v surprised the eye make up survived!)
REN exfoliator - WBNA, i prefer the Liz Earle
REN day cream and night cream minis - WNBA there have now broken me out


and.... drumroll....a perfume UU!

Valentino Rock and Rose - WBA.


also, GA a Jouer lipstick to my mum. i wasn't using it and she will.

I've had to bin two Figs and Rouge balms before, one was a geranium one and the other was mint. They formed a thick skin and started to smell odd, I had only had them a short while aswell. I have the rose balm by them and have had that open quite a few months and that one is fine.

I have a uu - Clinique All about eyes - rich - 5ml gwp size, this lasted ages and I did like it as I do the non rich version too. Have replaced it with a 5ml Dermalogica mulitvitamin power firm.

UU

Mark Hill Volumising Blow Dry Mousse, 50ml - WBA really good mousse but it went all watery and horrible towards the end. Not sure what happened there!

Back again with some UUs to report - quite a haul as I have been really pressed for time this month and haven't posted as frequently as usual:

LE energizing shower gel - lovely stuff but still have a shower gel mountain to use up before buying any more

Boots No 7 Stay perfect eye shadow base - HG, really works, tend to stock up when I have a £5 off No 7 voucher

LE botanical shine shampoo - meh about the haircare range. Ok but no 'wow' factor for me I am afraid.

LE cleanse & polish 200ml - HG, would never be without this as it is one of the best cleansers I have ever used

S&G flakeaway - have stepped up my routine with body scrub - have noticed a difference on my upper arms. About to start a breakfast scrub one next.

Lavera all over cream - loved everything about this - the smell, the fact that you only need a small amount, the way it sank in. WBA once I need some body cream as I think the price was quite reasonable too (came in an Amarya box but I have checked the price)

Mark Hill volumising mousse - a departure from my Trevor S HG but have to admit that this did a pretty decent job so WBA if necessary.

LE superbalm concentrate 2ml - love this facial oil but have plenty of others to UU before buying more. Intend to buy this in the pump version when I need more.

Phew - that's it for now but at least my OUTs are greater than my INs so back into a minus figure for this month.
