    Just returned to work after two weeks away :-( , didn't use up as many products as I wanted:

    One UU: Heliocare SPF 50 gel sample
    One TA: Garnier UV sensitive SPF 50 sunscreen. WIBA? No, not good for dark skin, had to really rub it into my skin to prevent chalky residues. I've had it for more than a year so best to throw it out.

    Forgot to take my face moisturiser home with me, so was forced to buy this months Glamour. That means a balance me face moisturiser IN (really like the scent) and also decided to buy the shower gel one, as that will be a good size to take on my hols. Think I'm at 10 INS vs 6 OUTs now :o I'll be better next month, as some of those are glossybox items I'm going to sell!

    Thanks for some of the Glasgow suggestions (only have 15 mins of internet so can't look back to get you names!) In the end, my friends new OH came out, and he lknows Glasgow really well, so we had a fab night dancing our toes off in the ABC. My feet are still recovering!

    2 more UU for the end of the month:

    112: Eve Lom Rescue Mask 5ml - WNBA, nice enough and left my skin feeling smooth but I can't afford to buy this, didn't see any amazing benefits from using. Have 1 more sachet left.

    113: Sanctuary Body Butter 300ml - WBA, really like this. Have used the Sanctuary products for a while though now so looking forward to trying other things once the stash is UU.

    This challenge has really helped me to get through my stash and to re-gift a lot of stuff. Am pleased with how I have less beauty stuff and I get a real feeling of satisfaction when I UU something!

    UU

    Stila Tinted Moisturiser, Medium, 50ml - WBA, however, i don't even know if you can still get it here! As this was one of the ones from Poundland! Lovely stuff though!

    Here you go, this is where I got mine from......

    What was the free hair mask thing in Tesco that people have referred to? I can't find anything about it on the grabbit board.

    In the Tesco magazine there is a MOC for £1.50 on the JF range - the masks are £1.49 so paid to take away! Expires tomorrow.

    Finally caught up after my weekend away!

    I have lots of UUs and no INs for once!

    22. Elemis Freshskin facial wipes 25 - have another in the stash but WNBA, not worth the price IMO and felt that they were quite dry so not very effective.

    23. S&G Sugar Crush 300ml - WBA, loved the citrussy smell and it was very scrubby. No need to repurchase for a while though!

    24. Trevor Sorbie Beautifully Moisturised Super Smoother 100ml - WBA but it has been discontinued, bought it on clearance years ago (though TS does still have a similar smoother), I started off very sceptical and just using for the sake of it, but it did get my fine flyaway hair under control.

    25. Sanctuary Brightening Facial Illuminating Moisture Lotion SPF15 15ml - WNBA, I think the illuminating part was a bit too effective as OH said it made my face look sweaty :rotfl:

    26-28. Tresemme Split Remedy Shampoo, Conditioner and leave-In Treatment 10ml each - WNBA, felt a bit too heavy on my hair and the treatment left white lumps when I dried my hair!

    29. Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief 22ml - WBA, I prefer pastes to gels and like this brand.

    30-31. L'Occitane Divine Cream 1ml x 2 - still undecided on this, bad news as I also have an unopened large pot!

    32-37. Garnier Intensive 7 days Ultra Softening Lotion 6ml x 6 - WMBA, effective and cheap.

    38. Elemis Revitalise Me shower gel 50ml - WNBA, smelled too masculine for my liking.

    39-40. Nivea Pearl & Beauty APD 35ml x 2 - WBA, nice smell and effective. Great for weekends away though not very good value as these never last me long. Think I might take a roll-on as the "under 100ml" option next time I travel.

    41. L'Occitane Eau Ravissante perfume sheet - WMBA depending on price (if you can even buy them? This was a sample) I like the idea of these for travel, nice scent but it was pretty light and didn't last too long.

    Wow - sorry for rambling post, but I'm up to date now!

    A flurry of OUTs for the end of the month...

    25 - Palmers spf 15 face lotion. Strong perfume, wnba
    26 - mentadent p toothpaste. Not my choice. Have others in stash.
    27 - Dove invisible dry. WBTA and already have one in back up.
    28 - Sanctuary spa body wash. Nice clean smell.
    29 - Simple soothing facial toner. Nice and, um, simple. Would buy again, but I'm prefering the Lush on at the moment.
    30 - Savlon. Can I count this? Lol. I really want to make my 31 count!
    31 - Bare minerals mineral veil. This was a godsend when my skin flared up as i used just a little concealer and this over the top. So light and lovely. HG product...but already have another in stash.

    :T:T:T:T:T
    Cookie, I think you're tame. :heart2:
