    I'm in again, I always manage to have a quick catch up reading through the thread but then forget to post..........lol

    anyway my overall stash total has increased quite a bit as I decided to add samples as I have a ton! But they were already there so it's not like I've been naughty and bought lots but it does make May look like a bust!

    Anyhow, recent UUs
    Batiste dry shampoo - actually OH used it up, WBA if on offer as it's not something I or really he needs but I have an Ojon one to use next.
    LE C&P this was a huge 200ml pump, and has lasted ages! I WBA but I've got a BM mini one to try out and the a pot of EH to use - cant wait!

    I also had a big clear out of L'occ stuff and actually it all sold for more then I thought to that was a nice bonus!

    OH is away for a week and then comes back for a night and is away again for a long weekend so I'm really feeling like I want to treat myself. Just not sure what on...........Amarya is due end of this week so hopefully that might do it (and it's already prepaid for so that would be good!)

    Hope everyone's enjoying the weather, I'm planning on not buying a single sun lotion this year and using up all we have. I always stock up in half price sales but we have loads!

    I'd like to join you again for June and indeed for a good few more months hence. ;)

    I have nothing to report yet, no UU but no Ins either, so it's all good. I can't think of anything that I need or even want just now, so hopefully I will see some reduction this month.

    My first few UU's to report for June

    Radox spa soothe bath soak fig & neroli oil 500ml - WBA
    Good for everyday use (mostly by my teenage DD who prefers baths to showers), would buy if on offer which this bottle was, £1

    Soap & Glory Clean On Me Creamy Clarifying shower gel 500ml - WMBA
    This was a birthday gift with other S&G goodies and although Iliked it prefer others in the range. The pump dispenser was great and made it last longer.

    Stella Hotels Nourishing body lotion 30ml
    I am one of those people who takes all the complimentary toiletries from hotel rooms, this was from a holiday in Greece a couple of years ago. It was hard to rub in but handy for keeping in a bag due to size

    Good news is no IN's, yes I know it's only four days into the month :rotfl:

    1 IN for me - 15ml Elemis Illuminating Flash Balm. Red magazine was only £2 in T*sco, so treated myself. Inexpensive way of trying it.

    Still no INs though am now tempted by the Elemis freebie ^ :)

    One UU from my gym bag:

    3. Nivea Calm & Protect? APD, 250ml. As I've said before, there are others I prefer and I still have more in the stash (though amazingly only a few now - I started with a few dozen a couple of years ago!) so WNBA. Replaced with same :rotfl:

    Expecting a couple more small UUs from gym bag later this week, so off to a better start this month that I expected

    Lovely present Evilsquid.

    Oceanus is a blast from the past Mad scientist.

    Thanks for the tip Dolly will retry Elasticizer using this method - Id always just left it on then washed it off before.

    Tonights UU.

    Lush enchanter bath bomb - WBA but was limited edition.

    Garnier simply essentials soothing 2 in 1 make up remover - I think this is my HG - cheap and does the job without any greasy residue. WBA but restocked last month.

    70g Burts Bees milk and honey body lotion - this was in a beauty box some time ago - I swatched it and didnt like the fragrance and there it stayed. In a bid to be rid once and for all I finally used this up. It was more of a butter than a lotion and not easy to rub in but very moisturising. I could probably have got another application by cutting the tube but I hated the fragrance - suffice to say WNBA. Just pleased I was skint when the burts bees offer was on following this products arrival or I would have had more of the range in my stash.
    No more buying toiletries

    2 UUs to report

    L'Occitane Crème Radieuse Hydration Cream
    This was a sample in my Glossybox - really liked this, WBA - once I've used up my stash and if I can afford it.

    Champneys Relaxing Body Butter
    This was nice enough - not sure if I'd buy it again though, I've got loads of lotions in my stash so no need at this moment.

    Have a little flurry of uu

    Ren Active 7 Eye Gel - 3ml - I am not sure what this is supposed to do, but it didn't seem to do much. WNBA as there are cheaper eye gels available.

    Balance Me Wonder Eye Cream - WBA, this lasted ages and had a bit of a tightening effect whilst still being moisturising.

    Sanctuary Spa Purifying Face Wash - WNBA, this was nice enough as a basic face wash but it didn't seem to purify.

    Imperial Leather Shower Gel - Ocean Minerals - I think that was the name, this was DH's and he loved it, it is a very fresh smell and great value.

    Just remembered I have ebay sales

    18 items out - I sold a brand new perfume and eye cream and the other 16 items were used makeup. I wouldn't fancy buying used makeup but there is a market for it if anyone has stuff they no longer want. I sold a mixed lot of foundation, BB cream, and eyeshadows, the eyeshadows had only either been swatched or used a couple of times and the foundations just used once or twice. I got £25 or thereabouts from all 18 items.
