    Try as I might this month, I'm definitely fighting a losing battle! Late birthday IN are S&G You Cube:

    Clean on Me 50ml
    Righteous Butter 50ml
    Flakeaway 50ml
    Hand Food 50ml

    and S&G Hocus Focus 30ml

    No additional UU over the weekend, I'm off work this week and we're away next week so I think I'll use some of the time to have a sort through the stash, update my list as I usually do this at the beginning of each month but don't think its been done now since April so losing track of what I have! I'll also see if there's any products needing TA/GA in there which I suspect there is....

    Yay, be gone nasty long haul jobbie; Sanctuary Spa Brightening Cleanser. I dont know how long I have had this but must have caught this at the end of the line sale before they changed the packaging from the orange theme. I hated the synthetic gloopy jelly like texture so would never have willingly bought it again. I have been tempted so many times just to biff it out, but I soldiered on. :T

    Also finished up Clarins Iris Toner 200ml - possibly would not buy again as it was nothing special, have others in the stash to use up and others I would really like to try.

  • Hi ladies, I know it's near the end of the month, but can I join in, please? I'm a long-time lurker (for about two years) and think it's finally time to take the plunge and join in properly, if you'll have me!

    Another UU - this one was a gift in the post :) a while back: BS Strawberry Body Polish.
    WIB? I did like using it but my mantra is that BS products are, on the whole, stupidly overpriced and over-hyped.
    Avon do a few strawberry products that have similar scents.
    The smell is really lingering, I can smell it now and it was washed off a few hours back.
    Some of the BS scents are gorgeous, to be fair, I recently re-discovered a nearly full BS White Musk 30ml EDT spray at the back of a drawer, it's been kept in the dark so is fine, though it has to be over a decade old. It's now in use. PRCP in full practice. Good to see it in use as a mantra elsewhere too.

    Just a sachet of a L'oreal conditioner to declare today-WBA if on offer, was lovely and thick and smelt of honey.
    My Emma Hardie moisturiser is starting to splutter, had a good six months from it. Would buy again but got quite a few in from the glossyboxes to try.

    Cotton wool pads WBA will purchase another pack or 2 as I am now on last pack.
    Jungle solid conditioner WBA I had gone off this but it has being really working for my hair ( I do turn it into a thick paste to make it easier to use), still have 1 left in stash
    Pantene moisture balance leave in conditioner WNBA I have had this years and have targeted it and finally used it up.
    Jurlique eye cream WNBA sample 2 years out of date and still have several eye creams to use up.

    Just wanted to say hello to Oxford Owl, I started my earlier post and got interrupted so didn't see you post when I finished it a few hours later.

    My Avon is 5 days overdue now, I know she is probably very busy, but I was looking forward to looking out some bits for DD's birthday from the new brochure.
    Avon Girl usually collects the brochure a day later, when she is this late.
    I wish she would deliver earlier so I could have more time to peruse.... Oh well.
