  • Hello everyone, I haven't posted much this month because I have been soooo busy UU my stash! :rotfl:

    No ins for the whole month either :j and its been a long time since I managed that!

    Many UU to report -

    L'Oreal Touche Magique concealer - WBA, I have moved onto the Clinique Airbrush one and I don't think it does as good a job and costs twice as much!
    Lush Mud soap - WNBA, I have a lot of soap
    BS Rich Plum shower gel - from a Xmas pressie set, it was a nice smell but I have several years worth of shower gel left so wouldn't hunt it down.
    Avon Superenchant mascara - a £3 bargain from a clearance book but prob WNBA as I am trying to switch over to bunny friendly toiletries.
    Avon brush applicator foundation - WNBA (even if it wasn't discontinued) the brush applicator thing clogged up after a few months so I had to cut open the tube and transfer to an empty moisturiser pot, which ruined the point a bit
    Elemis moisturising mask GWP size - this was about 10 years old so UU on my feet for the safety of my face!
    Green People cream cleanser trial sizw - prob WNBA, don't think it was that effective at removing make up
    James Brown Scandalous Intensive conditioner - so glad this is gone! Every time I cleaned my bathroom for the last 4 years I had to move it, it was almost part of the furniture! Smelled quite nice but it takes me a long time to get through hair treatments.
    Avon pressed face powder - did the job so might buy again on an offer.

    Phew, that was a lot of UU to type up, I'll try to report in more often next month! :p

    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.

    Or if you buy the mini items they are 3 for 2 and you get money off the rest of your shopping!! :D that's what I've been doing :)
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.
    Take time but don't waste time

    Last few UU's to report.

    2 x cinders bath ballistics WBA?
    1 melting snowman bath melt WNBA I hate cleaning the bath out afterwards
    I pack of cotton pads WBA already have some in stash
    Naissance body wash WNBA did not like it.
    S&G scrub of your life WNBA I don't like the scent and prefer a more scrubby body scrub.
    Philosophy purity face cleanser WNBA it did the job but I prefer other cleansers.
    Nspa melting cleansing gel WNBA it did not remove all my make up
    Honey I washed the kids soap WBA? I have too much soap and it is not my favourite scent.

    Another UU - Body Shop Eco shower gel WMBA - got it as a freebie when it first came out. It was ok and lasted well

    They've discontinued it anyway. Why do they do that when something is good????

    I have INs:

    46-48. Soap & Glory The Fab Pore x 3 - clearance and on 3 for 2.

    Will have a final UU after gym this evening:

    42. Sanctuary body lotion 75ml - WNBA, prefer butters and this takes too much effort to absorb, though I do like the scent. A few more minis and a full size in the stash.

    This should be it for me for this month... :o

    Think I'm just going to have to write July off as a bad month with too many temptations, and try harder in August! Will be off to a good start with a work trip tomorrow, wash bag already repacked with minis and sachets!

    Just rounding up the end of the month with another UU - Lacoster roller ball perfume which was a long-term freebie. WNB, not my kind of scent. I also really don't like roller ball perfumes anyway - they last forever!

    All in all, 13 UUs, 4 INs (all freebies) and 2 TAs this month. So a good month for me. :)

    See you in August!
