I really want the Models Own Northern Lights Wonderwall pollish

They are yummy. Still wish I'd bought the Beetlejuice ones.

Hi all, have been reading through the thread with interest! I'll be joining in next month, will have to spend a little time tonight going through all the various places I keep things stashed!

Hopefully I can make a bit of a dent in my stash before xmas - even though I always say dont buy me toiletries it always happens!

Keep up the good works girls (and guys?) x

They didn't interest me
I don't like paying £5 for a nail polish as sadly one of my models own ones smashed recently

I am back from holidays and have spent ages catching up with all the threads, you have all been very busy UU products while I have been away.

I had a variety of UU's whilst on holiday, some I can't remember but those that I can are:

Dove conditioner sample - wnba, it was ok as a mag freebie but I wouldn't buy it.
S&G face scrub - wba, I quite like this despite the blue colour.
S&G Shower gel 75ml - wnba, if I ever manage to use up all my S&G which would be a minor miracle I will not be buying more shower gel.
Aussie 3 min miracle conditioner - wba, really like this product.
Frizz ease 3 day straight - wba, hg product. This was the last one in my stash, going to use up a tresemme product before buying more though.
Nivea sun cream - wba, it was ok and I didn't burn.

I wasn't well on holiday, just a heavy cold but it did put a dampener on things. The good news was that I wasn't interested in going shopping so no in's for me this month again. I have managed two months in a row now :j this won't last as it is my birthday in November and I always get smellies

Have managed to scrape in another couple of UUs before the end of the month:

Crabtree & Evelyn aloe vera soap - WBA as the small versions of C&E soap fit perfectly in a Clinique travel soap holder so great for holidays. My HG is L'Occitane but they don't go in my Clinique travel soap holder and a plastic sandwich bag isn't the most stylish travel holdall for soap....

Boots No 7 wheatsheaf eyeshadow - this is a great base colour - have got a travel size to UU next of the same shade. Then, before buying more I must make a dent in the eye shadow stash in the cupboard. However, this is a shade I would buy again as it is perfect...

Managed to end the month on a minus - 10 INs and 17 OUTs so a reduction of 7 items - slowly but surely I will conquer this stash of mine!

End of October check in:

UU:

BS Sweet Lemon body butter 50ml size. Liked, hinted that it would be a good christmas pressie.

Tossed:

Wet and Wild felt pen eyeliner in brown. Harsh and draggy. Not a true brown more a pinky brown colour. It was cheap and not a huge loss.


Huge fail this month depending upon how you look at it. Dior has an auction for breast cancer every October. I bought a years worth of mystery boxes. I've cancelled Glossy and the other box I subscribe to, so it's not so bad. Well that's my excuse.


NYC Lincoln Centre nail polish. Lovely shade in the bottle. Lovely shade on the nails. Chipped the first nail opening the car door. Then an entire nail peeled off when I put my hands in my handbag. It took 3 coats to get the colour. Tossed for a $1.99 at WalMart it's just not worth keeping.

Several other things are close to finished but not in the next 24 hours.

Keep up the good work all.

Sorry haven't been posting this month, I've been ill and busy. I thought I'd quickly post my totals UU 15 In 13 (mostly freebies) net out of 2.

Hope you feel better soon. :grouphug:. Always good to end the month with a minus figure. That is what I aim for and it seems to be helping.

Just had a bath and uu a travel size S&G Flake away - wnba, have a small mountain of S&G to wade through.

Think I need to redo my stash list as I haven't been updating it as much as I should have been.
