    No. 7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser - Good value, especially with a voucher, as lasts months and leaves my face feeling really clean without any tightness - great at melting makeup off. Also love LE C&P - just makes my skin feel so nice.

    I love this too! I use face washes when I'm having a shower and this is my favourite.

    Had a nasty surprise last night, clearing a large built-in cupboard ready for house works later this week and found a few vanity cases/wash bags which I thought were empty... wrong! :eek:

    Cue 10 TAs of various dregs of shampoos and conditioners - why on earth didn't I just UU at the time?! A few unopened mini facial items which I will use (if they've not gone off - they've not been touched since I moved house over 5 years ago...), so my stash has "grown" but at least now I know that that is definitely all of it accounted for - no other stone left unturned!

    On the topic of HGs, I have very few as I have tended to try lots of different products, and my focus now is on working through my hoard to see what could possibly be HG items.

    Skincare - used to always be Clinique 3 step, though I have enjoyed trying new products recently. Still a big fan of the various cleansers - liquid soap, the bars and the foaming cleanser, and I like the clarifying lotion but it can be a bit too harsh in winter. The moisturisers tend to be a little heavy so I stick to the gel. I love the Sanctuary products for a cheaper regime.

    Night cream - I'm a convert to PCMC - amazing stuff!

    Body scrub - got to be either Sanctuary for daily use, or S&G Breakfast Scrub or Sugar Crush for somethng a bit scrubbier.

    Body butter - anything by Sanctuary or S&G - faves are Mande Lular, Righteous Butter, Righteous Butter Lotion and Smoothie Star (yum!)

    Shampoo/conditioner - love Ojon for a treat every so often, but no real HG as I like to keep changing these after each full size is UU - I never use the same back to back. John Frieda Liquid Shine is nice for a cheaper alternative.

    Another 3 OUTS - determined to be in minus figures this month! Though last night I had a dream that I bought a NARS lipstick - my make up obsession is even taking over my dreams!

    3. BS Carrot Face Cream 50ml - WDBA - so glad this is used up, it just wouldn't go! Left a horrible film on my face so ended up using on my hands.
    4. S and G clean on me 50ml - WBA. Love this, but only on offer haha!
    5. Love heart Body lotion 50ml - smelt nice, but have no need to buy any lotion for years!

    Got the month started with four IN and three UU:

    In were all from Boots - Everpure Colour Care & Moisture Shampoo - HG and on offer third off. Botanics All Bright Cleansing Cream - needed and also on offer. Umberto Gianni Frizzi Sillicone Serum - was looking for a cheaper dupe for my beloved Percy & Reed No Oil Oil but unfortunately early indications aren't good as its just too heavy for my hair, probably a false economy trying to hunt out cheaper products if they just don't work the same, maybe a lesson learnt! UG products were two for £8 so also got Backcomb in a Bottle which I quite like for helping to achieve big going out hair.

    UU are No. 7 Beautiful Skin Foaming Cleanser - WBA - HG but will be using Balance Me Face Wash first which I also love. Also used up were Elemis Illumating Flash Balm - again HG and two more in the stash and finally S & G Butter Up that I've been using for absolutely ages on my desk at work as hand cream, did a fine job too.

    Have a Percy & Reed hair oil on its way from Ebay :o but other than that I don't envisage many more IN for the month and I've also got a few splutterers so determined Aug should be a successful month challenge wise :T

    Have just added up all my INS and all my OUTS since starting the challenge in April. So far sitting on 54 INS and 43 OUTs *tuts*. I have a Glossy on the way, which will give me probably 6 more INS, so I figure I need to UU 17 items this month to catch up! Time to get pampering me thinks.

    UU - Body Shop Dewberry Bath and Shower Gel - I think this may have been discontinued? If not I WMBA. The smell is okay but not one of my favourites.
