    Last few I think of this month.

    UU's
    11 ebay outs with more to follow

    Dust witch soap WBA liked the scent

    Strawberry smoothie soap WNBA repurposed as laundry powder

    BS ginger shampoo. WBA HG

    Cinders bath ballistic WBA still really like the scent

    Ultrabland face cleanser WBA love how this gets rid of waterproof eye make up without irritation

    Loccitane face toner 50ml WNBA did not like the scent
  • Good morning ladies.


    Another UU yesterday, 500ml Soap and Glory, Calm One Calm All, think there is loads more of this in the stash though (full and mini sizes). Couple more splutterers should be going over the weekend.


    Hubby is back on nights as of Monday so I will aim to list all of my stash then * takes deep breath * think I will even shock myself when I see it all written down, at the moment it is all hidden in different cupboards, bedroom, bathroom etc!




    Stats since 27/5/14 when I joined.
    UU - 5 INS - 0!

    2 UU's and 2 IN's!
    UU 1 – Bravura London Pore Perfection Oil Control Gel – WMBA but I want to try another chemical exfoliant from Paula's Choice first to see if I like it any better.
    UU 2 – Montagne Jeunesse face mask sachet – Xmas gift, WNBA

    IN's
    Two more Biore perfect milk SPF50. Can you see a trend here?

    On the plus side I have two moisturisers that I think will be used up by next week, and one of my SPF's will be finished up soon too.
    No more goo hoarding!

    Soap and Glory hand food - Out - it had gone off! had been smelling iffy for a while (very cheap and nasty), but it died a death today had separated:(
    Sad as it's usually my favourite, but then I have this bad habbit of losing them and then finding them so could be several years old! :o!

    No more UU for me :(. I will have 1 tomorrow, the last wee bit of my comforter bubble bar. That takes it to 19 for the month I think. No more PP outs even though one is almost done it will survive past tomorrow still

    Feeling a bit down about the volume of stuff I have ATM so may have a wee mission for Jun to UU mini (GWP) items

    Don't be downhearted :o 19 OUTs for the month is amazing! :T

    I'm gradually collecting up things that I'm going to target for June. It's quite exciting :rotfl: Your "wee mission" sounds like a good plan :)

    I have two more UUs to declare, one a LHJ from my PP list:

    152. Macadamia Healing Oil Treatment (125ml) - WNBA as I prefer Orofluido and have three Dr Organic bottles of oil to UU :rotfl: I'm going to keep/reuse the pump though as it got nearly every scrap of the oil out :T

    153. ELF Luscious Liquid Lipstick in Cherry Tart - WDBA. I had forgotten all about this but it may be my favourite cheap lip product (this colour in particular). I have a new one to use but will prob buy it again once that one has gone :)

    2 more UU's.
    Elemis bliss capsules- wouldn't have tried these if they hadn't been part of the TSV but I really enjoyed using them. WNBA due to cost.
    Avon shower gel- love this its always on offer and does what it says on the bottle- WDBA.


    Can't see me finishing any more this month but I feel I've done quite well with minimal IN's.
    April £5 a day challenge- £15.05/£150

    Just a few UU to end May 2014 on a good note in the bathroom ;)

    Body Shop Cucumber freshening water - I liked it but still have Witch Hazel tonic which I like even better
    Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Lime bath and shower
    I like this but might only buy it as presents for others as I have so many other opened lovelies (Weleda buckthorn, Weleda pomegranate body washes and Body Shop Vanilla range of wash and body butter)
    Boots Skin clear daily face scrub, will definitely not buy again as it has polyethylene (recycled plastic bottles) as the active ingredient. only natural ingredients in the future here like in S & G breakfast scrub

    So not bought ANYTHING new in May, hurray!

    Some UU's -

    Champneys Body Scrub - WBA but I think its discontinued, it was the one in the purple pot, Thai something? I do prefer the scent in the red packaging though. Got 2 more of these to use, got them for £2 each in Boots reduced. Benefits from not leaving you coated in oil like the Body Shop ones! (shudder!)

    Bioderma - WBA HG. Ploughing through some 'drugstore dupes' at the moment and nothing compares!

    Kiehls Ultra Facial Cream - WBA really like this, I do have 2 tubes of Nuxe Creme Prodgieuse to use which is my HG before I make any repurchase.

    Out The Door topcoat - WMBA bought this on recommendation from TiffanyD on Youtube who said it was as good as Seche Vite without the gloopiness later on in the bottle - its not. Nothing gives that thick solid finish that Seche Vite gives. I've finished this and no real complaints but its always Seche Vite for me - I've bought the restorer as well this time to try and stop it going gloopy.

    Soap and Glory - a body moisturiser - I can't remember the name - its in a tube and can't see anything similar on Boots - think it might be the Daily Smooth or the Righteous Butter in old packaging. WBA no complaints here, I like the scent.

    St Tropez daily gradual tan in light medium - WBA think this probably HG status as a snowflake trying to look a bit healthier, but I'm trying a cheapy Superdrug one at the moment.

    Hola Beauty Queens :wave:

    Last update for the month...

    May PP List

    1. Bourjois 123 Perfect Foundation 30ml
    2. TBS Vitamin C Reviver 30ml
    3. Superdrug Naturally Radiant Brightening Hot Cloth Cleanser 150ml
    4. Jergens Ultra Healing Body Moisturiser 350ml
    5. Aldi Lacura Renew Eye Cream 15ml
    6. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer
    7. Sinless Sun Body Scrub 250ml
    8. Estee Lauder Take It Away Makeup Remover 30ml
    9. Mudd Original Mask 50ml
    10. Diesel Loverdose EDP 30ml

    UU #93: TBS Vitamin C Reviver; WNBA, getting the right amount of this on the skin was tricky, a teeny bit too much and it bobbles. Didn't notice any difference in my skin either, although looking at the ingredients list it's mainly silicones so no wonder.

    UU #94: Jergens Ultra Healing Moisturiser; WDBA, this has been an absolute pleasure. Loved the pump bottle and although it's a lotion rather than a butter it's really moisturising.

    Not a bad stab at my first PP list. Aldi eye cream is still popping along although if I hold it up to the light there's not much left in there. I have only used the Mudd mask once this month as DH just takes the pee when I have it on, because I only apply it to my chin area he says I look like a member of the Ant Hill Mob :rotfl:

    UU #95: Dove Original Beauty Cream Bar 100g;WBA

    UU #96: Soft & Gentle Sensual Roll On 50ml; WNBA, lovely scent and did a good job of stopping the pong ;) but I wear too much black for a deo that's not 'invisible'.

    UU #97: Imperial Leather Japanese Spa Handwash; WBA.

    GA #7: TBS Raspberry Body Butter 200ml; I've used about half of this but the raspberry yogurt smell seems to curdle on me and after half an hour I smell 'off' :eek: Given it to DD to see if she fares any better

    GA #8&9: YSL Touche Eclat Concealers; These just do not suit me, they are too highlighting on my bags, shadows and wrinkles. Again, given to DD. She's a lucky girl ;)

    TA #12: TBS Seaweed Pore Minimiser; Didn't seem to make much difference to my pores, made me skin feel tight and it has split so in the bin it goes

    Lots of lovely space created with all those outs, and as far as I remember the only IN I had this month was the much-discussed Dermablend. After an impossibly slow April I feel as though I have made good progress :)
