I have to alternate using products too, it is not so much of a struggle to use p the less loved then.

Me too. I left my full sized ones in the bathroom when I went away. I have a Soap & Glory citrus one, L'Occitane Cherry Blossom and L'occitane Amber and Santal on the go. I really don't like the Amber and Santal one but unfortunately have body lotion and matching fragrance so this is going to be a very LHJ.

I did come back of holiday with more body wash in the form of freebies left in our cabin one day by the Spa people but I can't remember the brand and it's one I haven't heard of. Let's hope I don't love it.

UU - Molton Brown Gingerlily 50ml. Liking using these little minis. Still have the 'guilt' at using the little cute bottles though haha!

Another uu

Garnier Fructus My Curl Perfecting Mousse 200ml, WBA, this was a lovely thick mousse and really helped to define my curls and they stayed well defined the next day too.

Hello ladies and welcome to all newbies.

I have started a new thread for September ready for Monday here.

I got an email from QVC informing me that they are stocking Molten Brown again. Oh dear! No doubt at some point in the future I will be swayed into buying a TSV.

So I have three UUs from the last two days which are:-

Small bottle of L'Occitane Fleur D'or and Acacia fragrance. I got this as part of a GWP kit when I bought my original full sized bottle of L'Occitane Jasmine & Bergamot fragrance round about February time. This is a lovely fragrance and I would buy it again (sadly it was not one of the magazine freebie fragrances on offer recently) though not before I repurchase Jasmine & Bergamot which is my absolute fave of all these fragrances.

30ml tube of Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish. I have returned to using this for my evening wash to help remove make up. I took 2½ of these 30ml tubes away with us and this is the last one now UUed. I bought a full size 100ml last Monday at the Trafford Centre (along with a full sized Elemis Lime Blossom Balancing Cleanser (for morning use)) so have a replacement ready. I do however have a travel sized tube of Clinique cleanser (part of GWP kit from Bonus Time before I went away) which I'll UU first.

Small bottle of Elemis Quiet Mind Bath Elixir. This is lovely stuff but so expensive and I just would not pay the price for this unless it came in a kit or as a GWP. When I bought the Elemis cleanser mentioned above on Monday from John Lewis they were running a GWP offer eligible with purchase of two products but I was very good and didn't even look at the GWP. :A I still have a few bottles of the awful Elemis Rose & Jasmine Bath Milk to UU anyway.

Have just UUed up the Elixir in a lovely pampering bath. Applied Decleor Herbal Clay Mask which I haven't used for ages and really need to start looking after my skin again as I have a few milia spots appear again. Have received a free sachet of the new Liz Earle Superskin cream in the post and have applied this. The neroli fragrance is heavenly however as with the original Superskin formula the texture of this is very thick so not sure I would purchase instead of the Skin Repair moisturiser that I like to us as a night cream. My present tube of Skin Repair is getting ready to be cut open however I have a few travel sizes of moisturiser in my stash that I will use first.

Do need to repaint my finger nails but will wait until I've done my housework tomorrow. My lovely tomato coloured red Shellac toes are still looking fresh three weeks on which I'm really impressed by.

See you all in September.

Aww I LOVE the Rose and Jasmine bath milk! Perfect for a swap :cool: :rotfl:

Okay I have far too much to sit and write it all out!
And I -might- have 'accidentally' bought a couple of beauty boxes and be waiting for them to arrive.

Oh, but I am trying to use up my lush bath stuff and some foundations that only have a little left in them.
(I'm a hoarder, this is difficult!)

More uu from Dolly Towers, we are on a roll

L'Occitane Repairing Shampoo, 100ml, this has been my shampoo for travelling this year and I finished the last couple of uses at home, it is OK and this little bottle lasted a long while but I wouldn't pay L'occ prices for shampoo.

Elemis Pro Radiance Cream Cleanser 30ml, it's OK but I don't love it and I find I need to use more of a cream type cleanser than I do a balm or oil so WNBA but do have more of this in the stash.

Good evening ladies
Glad you had a good holiday ValM, sounded lovely.

Final August UU:
Avon argan oil conditioner 250ml. As I've said before I really like this, three more bottles in the stash.

Hello kitty liberty art fabrics body wash 75ml. This was nice enough, still some matching minis and other full size items from the range still in my stash (relics from the mrB's 75% off sale!)

Nivea in shower body lotion cocoa butter sachet 8ml. Tried this out for the first time last night, can't say it did overly much, smelled absolutely divine though!

Ahh well, that's the end of August 9 UU and 6 Ins
Ins were sachets and a soap and UU were mainly full size items, I'm happy with that!

See you all in September!

Hello ladies!


I was a bit naughty and went a bit mad buying shower gels under the premise that I only have one or two and I have guests visiting soon. And they were in the pound/otherwise cheap shops, so I got a bit of the 'Oh-that's-good-value' about me too.


So, I have one tub of cotton buds plus 4 shower gels to declare. Actually, I'm not counting the cotton buds as I will need them soon, so 4 shower gels it is. xxx
