    Hi everyone,

    I've got a few UU's to report...

    S&G Peaches and Clean Cleanser - Used up the one at my boyfriends house, love this stuff, already have another bottle on the go at home. WBA

    Urban Decay 24/7 Concealer in FBI - A nice creamy concealer that gives good coverage and is easy to blend. WBA but it is about £12!

    Nivea Stress Protect Deodorant - Love this stuff, have another 3 in the stash! WBA

    Dove Nourishing Oil Care Conditioner - Nice moisturising conditioner, will stock up when it's next on offer. WBA


    Yay! So glad I've used up some make up! That's going to be what I'm concentrating on in May I think.

  • Afternoon ladies,

    Hope you are all well

    Have uu Gok body scrub, this smells like play doh, it's a good enough scrub but it is very runny which would be fine if it was in a tube but it is packaged in a tub which made it awkward to use in the shower

    I also have a TA - Nspa body lotion, think it was jasmine and white vanilla, I have tried to persevere with this but I hate the scent and also didn't find it very moisturising, life is too short so I binned it!

    Happy pampering, xo

    :rotfl:I laughed so much at the mental picture of that happening, I had a coughing fit, a bit annoying for you if it was v. expensive soap, but very funny!

    Afternoon ladies.

    A few In's and outs

    IN's
    5 from glossy box
    3 sachets of E45 cream (Freebies)
    2 sachets of Garier mosture match (from magazine)

    UU's
    Karma cream WNBA I liked it but did not love it, have lots more to use up before allowed to buy anymore
    Cinders bath ballisitc WBA
    The enchanter bath ballistic WBA shame they have discontinued this but atleast I won't be tempted.
    Brightside bubble bar WBA but have several more
    French kiss bubble bar WNBA
    Sweetheart soap WBA but still have over 1.3KG of this soap. Still my favourite soap.
    Mitchum deodrant WBA HG
    Dermalogica daily dermofoliant sachet WNBA loved the product6 but not the price so unless I found a very good offer I would not buy it.
    Caudalie SOS face serum (10ml) WBA HG this is the second sample I have used. I have already bought the full sized version but I have banned myself from using it till I use up several other serums first.

    I know everything will slow down in May. I am on mostly full sized face products and have a few sputterers but not many.

    I hope no innocent passers-by were injured ;) As you say, you couldn't do that if you tried!! An extreme way of whittling down the stash :rotfl:

    Finally have some UU to declare, April feels like such a slow month challenge wise, I think its probably just that the stash is way smaller than it used to be and most items are unopened and full size. Still, will soldier on!

    Out are L'Oreal Preference Conditioner - the tube that comes with hair colour - WBA as I generally use L'Oreal colourants after a reaction to a Clairol one a while back

    Sainsburys Skincare Cleansing Fluid - WBA - very simple but effective cleansing milk, trouble is, like a lot of the original stash items, I think this has probably been discontinued by now. I don't think you need to pay a lot for a cleanser so long as its effective in removing eye makeup and leaving your face feeling clean and not tight or irritated. Don't have a HG as such in this specific area, although I'm very fond of No. 7 foaming cleanser - I have a voucher I will probably use to purchase this before it runs out.

    Also some Dior perfume and another item which I won't declare as its a surprise are going out tomorrow in a swap - sent by special delivery this time as last parcel did not arrive at its destination :mad:
