Is the clear plastic pot between the so whites on the right your sample of herbalism or more I was hoping it was jungle jelly?

It's actually a Sugar Scrub still in its mould - I haven't tried Jungle Jelly but it sounds fab if it's jungle scented shower jelly (which might be wishful thinking) :P Just noticed I forgot to put the scrub on my stash list, sorry for the confusion!

Mine were all presents, but you can get them here or on ebay if you search owl lip balms. They're a little sticky, but amazing flavours!

To be honest, I only want them for the pots (I love owls too)

Haha, I know - that's why I've resisted using them for this long!

Couple of last minute UUs sneaking in before bed - Lush Dorothy in my bath, WBA definitely, one of my favourite bubble bars! Also moisturised my right leg with NSpa Raspberry Milkshake (WBA, but discontinued) and my left leg with REN Moroccan Rose body cream (WMBA if somehow it wasn't £26 for 200ml!) which is interesting... Finishing off my top half by starting TBS Moroccan Rose body butter for some continuity!

Despite having a cupboard fit to burst I have stash envy of your bright & shiny goodies Oxford Owl - I sense I may be on this thread for many years!

UU

Cotton pads - have already done the monthly restock.

Lush bath bomb - WBA if I saw it again.

No UUs for me today, I didn't get to have my bath

My three discovered items were:
REN rosa Centifola cleansing gel cleanser 15ml
REN frankincense revitalising night cream 3ml
REN vita mineral day cream 10ml

All from the RED magazine gift several months ago.

Today's two INs were:
No7 instance radiance concealer
L'Oreal brow artist eyebrow pencil, blonde

I already have one of the concealers open but was not on me today, and clearly is a while old as the packaging has changed AGAIN! I had given up all eyebrow pencils so this one shall be used eventually, although I much prefer a small brush and powder.

Used up my Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo; won't buy again as I found out that they test on animals, and I'm aiming to use only cruelty-free products from now on.

Nice to see a lot of Lush on here.

Finally caught up with you all! Loving the stash pics - I really need to do a list, will maybe do next month seeing as my stash is now much more under control.

evilsquid - hope the new job is going well!

rogueylawyer - sad times having to give up the doggy. How lovely to be able to help family out like that though. I would *love* a dog, but 14 hours out of the house every weekday just wouldn't be fair, even if we sorted a dogsitter. Maybe in a few years' time if one of us can scale back work a bit.

Ok, so catching up on my UUs:

Final one in August - 39. Sanctuary body scrub 200ml - HG, WBA but a few others in the stash already

So I finished August 41 down which is my best month yet and has made a real difference to storage space! :j

September UUs:

2. Aussie 3 min miracle sachet 20ml - prob WNBA since someone on here made me aware that they test on animals.

3&4. Soltan spf 15 sprays 75ml - WMBA, no need as I have plenty more of these from the glitch a while back. I'm not a huge fan, spf15 is a bit high for my skin tbh, I usually use spf6-10 for the most part (don't shout at me!), 15 acts almost as a sun block on me. Also found that the lotion balled a little on my skin. But, these are great for weekends away.

5. Boots Repel Once tropical insect repellent spray 125ml - WMBA though it wasn't 100% effective and leaves an awful oily residue, but if I use nothing I am eaten alive!

6. Sainsburys Inset Repel Regular spray 125ml - WNBA, not very effective.

7. Lee Stafford r u taking protection? spray 75ml - WMBA, this lasted me a while so may even be discontinued now. Still came back looking like I've had an ombre dye job though!

8. L'Occitane Immortellle Precious night cream 3ml - WNBA, a bit too heavy for me and not convinced about the scent of this yet either.

9. Charles Worthington Take Aways Sun Shine shampoo 75ml - WMBA, lathers well and smells nice.

10. Charles Worthington Take Aways Sun Shine conditioner 75ml - WMBA.

11. Simple Refreshing shower gel 200ml - WBA, cheap and does the job.

12. Garnier Ambre Solaire lotion spf10 - HG, WBA and already have...

13. John Frieda Frizz Ease intensive repair mask sachet 25ml - one of the freebies, WNBA but nice as a treat for my sun-damaged hair.

I was doing very well with no INs and thinking it might stay that way for the month, then I popped to Mr T's last night for wine and saw that most of the suncare was reduced by 75%. I don't normally manage to get the ones I like at better than BOGOF, and I have a 3 week plus holiday (honeymoon!) in Spring so thought it sensible to stock up rather than have to shell out a lot of money just before my wedding! So...

INs:

1-4. Hawaiian Tropic coconut aftersun 200ml x 4
5&6. HT lotion spf15 x 2
7&8. Garnier AS lotion spf10 x 2

Total £24.50
