By making a hit list, I am holding myself accountable and am sticking to the focus of trying to use some of this stuff up. I suppose it is as good a start as any.
Happy August everybody

Can't believe we're in August already. UUs have been slow throughout the year which hasn't been helped with my depression especially on my really low days. Anyway the good news is that I have more outs than ins and this is my updated list although probably not much different to last months
Haven't updated my list with my ins as I'm finding the whole thing overwhelming at the moment but it is not more than half a dozen items.

I do have an Excel spreadsheet stash list for my own reference, but it isn't complete. I have never posted it here because I am ashamed and my post would probably use up an entire page of this thread all on its own!
Would love to see stash photographs babafette - I'm so nosy! I too am looking for a good shampoo for greasy roots and dry ends, still looking though!
I thought if I just photographed and listed one small section of my stash at a time it may be less daunting. I'll try and do a shampoo photo over the weekend; I've got to find all the bottles first though! :rotfl:Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician....0 -
Sophie8, thank you for for all your excellent info on the Neutrogena facial washes in last month's thread, I'll give one of them a whirl once my Elemis wash is officially spluttering; given I'm only using one pump a night, it might be some time but there's nothing wrong with planning ahead
Thank you Babafette for July and Clutter Free for the new thread, I'm in and still p-l-o-d-d-i-n-g along. I have had a mini-revelation though, for months and months I have been whinging about my skin being oh so very dry, but since using the EL ANR serum, I've discovered that my skin was actually just horribly dehydrated. Now that the serum is allowing my moisturiser to sink in and do its job it turns out I'm more combination than dry. If anything, my t-zone is verging on oily :eek: Come the cold weather this may change but for now I am rolling with the punches and hoping I can find a happy skincare and makeup regime which works.
Why can my face never be simple?! Honestly :mad: :wall: :rotfl:0 -
Why can my face never be simple?! Honestly :mad: :wall: :rotfl:
This is how I feel!
Glad the EL ANR is doing such a great job. Hope your skin stays settled for a little while!
I have another small UU:
Lavera Hand Cream (S 20ml) - I'm baffled by this. When I first tried it I thought it may be my HG hand cream. Then I left if for a while (no idea why...) and when I came back to use it again it didn't seem half as good! I have another one (or two) stashed somewhere so I'll try another one and use it properly this time...
Night night.

Rosemary, how's your tooth today? Sorry your time away didn't go as planned.
Kadison and Mrs Moneypenny, how are you feet today?
Hope everyone is well.
One IN to report.
Went into town yesterday to order a new fridge and freezer so popped into Boots.
I purchased the new Hydraluron moisturiser whilst it was still on offer at £16.66.
I also tried the Garnier Miracle Cream that I was contemplating buying online last month. I'm so glad I didn't buy it. It is supposed to adapt to your own skin colour... The back of my hand resembled an Oompa Loompa's complexion!! :eek:
Hubby was with me grumbling that I didn't need anything so I didn't get chance to look at anything else.Probably just as well, I suppose...
Ageing is a privilege not everyone gets.
