    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.

    Welcome clutterfree!

    Hope everyone is having a good weekend.

    I have a UU:

    3. Ojon Damage Reverse conditioner 250ml - HG, WDBA. This does amazing things for my hair (long, fine and straightened daily), even my hairdresser comments on the good condition of my locks when I've been using this! Expensive but well worth the splurge IMO. The shampoo won't be far behind.

    I have several full size splutterers, amongst them a few PP items, but very slow on the UU front this month for me!

    Evening, I collected another 2 parcels from the post office this morning so more INS

    34 from british beauty bogger boxes ( I may have bought 2 as I thought it was a really good box)

    UU's
    Bomb cosmetics lucky dip bath bomb WNBA was okay nothing special. It had a surprise inside which turned out to be bouncy ball, probably good for a child but for not for me.

    Dermalogica multivitamin power firm 5 ml WNBA lasted ages but is full of silicones.

    Mitchum roll on deodorant WBA replaced with the same

    Asda soap WNBA turned into laundry gloop.

    Lush soap 100g finished the snow globe by adding to the laundry gloop, I like the scent but it does not lather and I have others I prefer.


    Suzitiger I like your list. Good choice of perfumes especially American cream and twilight.

    I went back and found this list.

    And while reading I thought the category headings looked a bit familiar :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Immitation is the sincerest form of flattery and all that! :D

  • Hi everyone. I really do need to work on this work/life balance thing. Have had a lovely day relaxing, hope everyone's having a good weekend.

    I have four UUs to report:

    Body shop cocoa butter creamy body wash 250ml
    L'Occitane Pivoine Flora hand cream 10ml
    Nair hair remover cream sensitive 30ml
    Champneys spa indulgence Mediterranean bliss shower cream 50ml

    The BS body wash was ok, nice scent on the first couple of washes but after that I couldn't really notice it. WMBA on a really good deal. The Champneys shower cream I really enjoyed, I had a couple in this fragrance and it's on the 'to buy again' list.
    L'occ hand cream - this was the first of their handcreams I had used that was more gel than cream. Nice enough but prefer other scents WNB. Nair, did the job and didn't smell as horrendous as Veet. I have a couple of these in the stash and they have been there long enough that I think I should UU as soon as possible.

    On that note, I did see some of the Project Pan comments. I've pulled a few things out of the stash to try and use up this month:

    Champneys spa indulgence Mediterranean bliss shower cream 50ml - now UU.
    Dead Sea Source ginger body wash 50ml - in use
    Champneys spa treatments citrus blush shower gel 50ml
    Body shop spa wisdom African scrub 350ml
    No7 completely quenched moisturizing body lotion 200ml
    Natural collection blusher peach melba

    These are all stash relics, bought a minimum of two years ago. The ginger body wash was part of a set bought by a friend 3 or 4 years ago and I know I've had the scrub for more than 5 years. I bought so many products in the Boxing Day sales 2011 that are still in the stash, I'm aiming to get as many of these possible out before Christmas.

    Going to go and try to catch up with the thread now

    I was just a little bit naughty yesterday: I had a voucher burning a hole in my pocket, so I went cruising around the beauty hall of my local Farmers (Dept. Store) and was utterly stunned to find they had a couple of Indeed Labs products on the counter.

    I have read so much about these products and been keen to try, so couldn't resist a little flutter on the Snoxin to see if it works for me - nothing lost anyway as it was effectively free to me. Probably just as well they didn't have the full range or it could have been much worse. :rotfl:

    Never heard of Indeed Labs Kiwisaver, but it sounds like it was lucky they didn't have loads!

    I've just opened a little thing from Philosophy, so two NBIs....

    Philosophy Hope in a Jar 2ml
    Philosophy Hope in a Jar - Night 2ml

    They also sent me a brilliant £15 off a £60 spend, but I'd just have been buying for the sake of it! I got the 3 shower gels I really wanted during a Boots offer a few weeks back. VERY proud of myself! :D

  • Only used up 4 of my 111 things this month ... and it's already almost 1/3 into the month!

    I need to step it up if I'm to reach my goal.

    Strangely, I was inspired to pull out dozens of other items and contain them in a large plastic bin slated for next month's use-uppery!

    Would be interested in your thoughts on Snoxin. I've got a sample size and used it a few times but couldn't see it made any difference.
    Also have a sample size of Nanoblur.
    I use Hydraluron every day which my skin loves.
    Have Eyesilix too but the jury is still out on that one.
    Purchased Peptabright a couple of weeks ago so hoping that will fade the spot scars on my chin.
    Has anyone had any success with it?
