    Lovely seeeing everyone's storage solutions, will list mine later if I get a few minutes.

    1 UU of Balance Me Eye Serum WBA (have one more in stock), but on to a Elizabeth Arden Prevage GWP next (if it passes the patch test).

    I have had the most amazing IN:j:j:j:j:j

    I won a giveaway and got 50ml Zelens Z Matrix Energy & Moisture Infusion, it arrived today, the price on their website is a massive £85, not sure what I will do if I love it:eek::eek::eek:

    I will finish an Elemis PCMC and a LE Skin Repair before I open it, in fact had better use a few older things first that are filed away.

    I am absolutely shattered looking after myself, dog and OH with broken wrist, haven't had a moment to breathe for two weeks, now he is complaining that he is fed up, so like an idiot I have offered to take us off somewhere this afternoon for a walk, just had my B12 injection, followed by Physio appointment, so what I would really like to do is sleep and sleep............ When I was recovering from surgery he just (insert expletive) off and let me to it, but I suppose it is better to treat people as you would like them to treat you - even if they don't:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Maddiemay - Well done on your win - those are the best type of ins.

    This month is proving a slow one for me and I am getting impatient to move onto new products, everything is full size and seems to be lasting forever. I am sure someone is refilling my 500ml FCUK shower gel - it just never goes down. Oh well next month should see a good few bottles in the recycling.

    Hello all!

    I have two GAs, purely because I don't like them! I LOVE Piz Buin cooling spray spf 30 but tried out some apparently similar versions that were cheaper, they are not for me! Unlike the Piz Buin they both need rubbing in, look and feel slightly greasy on the skin and both smell like hairspray so off they go!

    It also turns out the Piz Buin ones last up to 5 hours on your skin so you don't have to apply as often, which is always good!

    So GAs (via Freecycle)

    Coppertone Aerosol spray SPF 30 150ml
    Soltan Invisible Aerosol SPF 50 150ml

    And some UUs.....

    Chanel No. 5 Parfum 7.5ml - An HG treat of mine, already put my refill into the original case that came with it
    Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator 50ml - WNBA, got a bargain on it and it smelt nice but didn't really do enough to my skin to justify another purchase.
    John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Liquid Shine Shampoo 250ml - WDBA, loved this!

    I disappeared for a while but am popping in to say hello! I have replaced one addiction with another; I've recently started making jewellery and have set up a small shop on easy. As a result, I'm spending money, but at least I'm getting some back from sales online and to friends!

    It's been a very slow month on UUs for me, partly because I'm using full size size products and partly because I'm so addicted to jewellery making that I've been pampering a little less.

    My UUs to report are:

    Dove invisible dry deo stick
    Herbal essences uplifting volume shampoo 400ml
    Maybelline Fit Me Foundation 10ml

    So not the most fun of UU items! Takes me up to 9 UUs for this month so far...

    Hope everyone is well, I will catch up on the thread shortly x

    New IN today - a Veet electric roll on with replacement cartridge from Bzz. Looking forward to giving this a go in a week or two... It's something I've wanted to try, but didn't want to risk wasting money on it if it didn't work.

    Another couple of UUs to report..

    Clarins Hydra Quench Lotion (sample size) - wasn't overly impressed so WNBA.

    Umberto Gianni Curl Friends Shampoo WNBA prefer VO5 Gloss Me Smoothly.

    Dolce & Gabana Desire Perfume (sample size) - really liked the scent - not sure if I'd want to buy a full size bottle, but my add to my Christmas wish list when I get there !!!

    A few UUs:

    No7 P&P night cream 15ml - WMBA but lots more face creams to get through first

    Ojon damage reverse conditioner 250ml - love this, super pricey IMO but WMBA as a treat

    Nivea shower creme 50ml - nothing special but did the job

    maddiemay - lucky you on your win! Sounds like you need to lock yourself in the bathroom away from demanding hubby for a spot of (well-deserved) pampering ;)
