    A couple of OUTs to report...

    27 - Faith in nature rosemary shampoo. Not sure how old this was but it was very runny.
    28 - Lush make-up in charm. A lovely pinky colour, but now dry after about 12months.
    29 - Gold lip gloss from Technic. Obviously a cheapy make, very greasy. Chucked.
    30- Gilded pencil from Benefit. A lovely gold that I wear as eyeliner, but the end keeps falling off now as it's so short, time to go! Lol.
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:

    Evening all.

    I have the same dilemma! I have now pretty much UU all of my hand creams. Was thinking about using foot cream as hand cream instead?! :rotfl: Do people think this would be alright?

    Depends what the foot cream smells like I think... I have 4 options; sun tan lotion, body lotion (very runny), body butter or holiday skin. I think I can rule out the holiday skin stuff though :rotfl:

    My last two UUs for the month; finally used the last of a box of horrid cotton wool pads. WNBA as there are plenty more where they come from. I delved into the cupboard to pull out a 'new' pack and nearly fell over laughing when I found that they were from Waitrose . :rotfl:

    You might wonder what's so funny about that? I can't possibly have been in a Waitrose since I left the UK, eight or more years ago. :eek:

    I also used up a little face misting spray that I have been using as a toner.

    That makes me just 1 up in the month and that's fine with me, as most of my ins were due to the Elemis GWP that you all made me buy. :T

    Thanks all for having me and see you next month.

    Last post in this thread for me this month, a couple of UU's today

    Nivea Creame 8ml mini tin -WNBA
    This was a freebie, I found it very thick so used it as a hand cream at night

    Jimmy Choo EDT 40ml - WMBA
    Had this as a birthday present two years ago and used it at weekends mainly. Smells ok but there are other perfumes I prefer

    Batiste dry shampoo 50ml clean & fresh/200ml flirty floral - WNBA
    These were both From bzz agent trial and not suited to my hair, so GA to my niece yesterday. Glad to see the back of them :rotfl:

    I finish May with 24 UU/GA but with 39 IN's :eek: (20 purchases/12 GWP/6 freebies and 1 competition win). Still not very good and I am really going to try alot harder for June, setting myself a target of 20 UU and 10 IN's

    Out of those options I'd use body butter

    Well my good intentions for the month went to pot - DH treated me to L'Occitane goodies which is lovely and I lovingly stroked them and have kept them separate to my stash... But my stash is growing instead of shrinking and I have planned ins of a Glossybox and 2 Latest in Beauty Boxes which should be arriving in the next couple of weeks - I know that this will be ins for June - but I really need to control myself somehow!
