Finally have a few UU's to report.

PCMC - my last one, must buy more.
No 7 Balanced Results Day Gel 50mls - my last relic from a trip to Florida.
Elemis Pro Radiance Illuminating Flash Balm 15mls - really sad to see this go - loved it and will buy again.

I am calling time on Chanel Lotus Rouge lipstick - its been missing for 6 months and I can't find it. Don't think I lost it on a night out as I don't drink. No idea what has happened to it...sob.

It would have to be a really nice lipstick that gets lost.

I was just wondering if anybody else had done this. I don't have any body scrubs but don't actually intend to buy any more. What I do have is a few face scrubs that seem to be taking me an age to use up. Has anyone ever used a face scrub on their body before and if so was it worth doing? If not I might as well try and get some pennies for them.

The only face scrub I have done that with is a cheapy Cyclax Apricot one that I didn't want to use on my face. I use scrubby gloves or a body brush as a body exfoliator and don't intend to buy any more body scrubs.

Evening ladies. Hope everyone is well.

6 X lavender soap bought a few weeks ago but only just realised they are not on my list


UU's
Tropicana bath ballisitc WBA

Santa's sack bubble bar WNBA not my favourite scent

glam glow WMBA I do like this and have several sample sized tubes but I would not pay full price for it.

Thats it. I have really slowed down for some reason and don't seem to use anything up. Time for baths I think. I have ordered 9 meme boxes (I know, naughty step for me) and lush bring their Christmas stuff out next month so I need to make space for things. Everything seems to be a LHJ at the moment.

What is a meme box?

I have a couple of uu

S&G Sexy Mother Pucker Gloss Stick in Nudist - I love these sticks and highly recommend them. Nude is not my normal colour but this was nice, it twists up and lasted ages, they are long lasting on the lips and very moisturising and you get lots of colour. I have loads in the stash but no more in this colour, I will be carrying on with the already open Plum Jam one now.

L'oreal Preference hair conditioner - this is the one that comes with the hair dye - it was nice enough.

Ladies, I am really satisfied today! Went grocery shopping earlier this morning and went past the toiletries without even looking at them :T

Plus I didn't spend 55 + € on an Xbox Game. Well they had the one I really wanted to play but I then figured I could get it cheaper once it's been released for a while.

Aaaah, it was a good day, even though I have no UUs.. :beer:

.

A Meme box is a Korean beauty box, you buy them as you want rather than monthly. Ever review I have watched or read is very positive about them. They release new ones every week and they have lots of different ones anything from citrus skin care to a nail and hand box, far too many to list.
The Meme box contains between 4-7 full size and sample sized items. The superbox contains only full sized items and they do value boxes where you buy two and get express shipping upgrade for free.
They start out at $23 plus $6.99 postage. Some are more expensive and a I have seen a colour box for $15 dollars but have not bought one of these. Everything is priced in American dollars. They have codes to get money off and these change regularly. I bought 3 boxes including postage for £52, you can only use one code at a time.

Hope that explains it but you are probably better watching/ reading reviews.

The good
UU's
Error 404 bath ballisitc WNBA This was a freebie and was okay but the scent was not really my cup of tea.

Ruby red slippers bubble bar WNBA again nice enough but not my favourite scent.

Rose bath melt WNBA this was part of a advent calender from last Christmas and I am not a fan of rose scents so again this was really just a use up to get rid of it.

Now the naughty bit in Boots but they were all on very good reductions and for me I can never have too much hair conditioner.

8 Schwarzkoft essence ultimate omega repair conditioner 250ml reduce to £1.25 ( RRP 4.99)
2 X Herbal essences tousle me soflty conditioner 400ml reduced to £1.05 (RRp £3.99)
2 X pantene youth protection conditioner reduced to £1.05 (RRP 3.69)
Then 3 for 2 kicked in so 12 bottles of hair conditioner was £9.60. No I did not need it but I do go through lots and I can't resist a bargain.

I will remain on the naughty step till another bargain comes my way.

I've been MIA for a few weeks, but just popping on to report a UU and a couple of ins

UU Champneys Spa Indulgence Distant Shores Body Scrub 50g WNBA, was a gift, but was more a shower gel with bits in rather than a scrub. I like body scrubs a bit scrubbier.

INs - a freebie shampoo/conditioner from the booots magazine:

L'oreal Elvive fibrology thickening shampoo/conditioner 10 ml each. Really happy with these as it's one I've been wanting to try but stopped myself buying as I have too much in the way of shampoo/conditioner at the moment. Into the weekend bag they go!

I bought a bunch of things in the clearance at 50p each but I'm only keeping one and the rest are for gifts

Hi ladies,
2 small UU for me:
REN radiant eye gel 3ml. I think they've renamed this? It was ok, I didn't think it did very much though and I didn't get any if the cooling sensation I was hoping for. I have another slightly larger sample left to use.

Elemis pro-radiance illuminating flash balm 15ml. This felt nice on the skin, but "balled" on me if I used too much, so it was used quite sparingly. Nice fragranced balm, it was nice to try.

2x INs courtesy of a car boot this morning.
Avon smooth as silk shampoo 400ml. Fancied trying this as my hair is a little dry just now (desperately needs a cut, hate going to hairdressers)
Avon senses with love romantic white jasmine and rose shower gel 250ml. Completely and utterly unnecessary

5UU and 3Ins so far.
Away with work (sadly) this week so taking an assortment of bath stuff, lotions and stuff in the hope that as I'm on my lonesome ill pamper (and pine for fianc!)

Hope everyone's had a good weekend.

Its nice to be back


I was on holiday for the past 2 weeks in Devon, had lovely weather and running around like a loon prior to going on holiday that's why I did not post.


I have spent a pleasant hour catching up on the September thread to see what I have been missing.


Thanks Babafette for starting us off, and a belated happy anniversary to FizzWhizz.


Thanks to hieveryone for posting your stash list, pleut, Kitty Poppy f1 & sam.4000 & Mrs moneypenny & Kadison for stash lists. you guys keep me focused and onto it even though I don't post a stash list myself. (sorry if I left anybody out)


Kiwisaver I love your hit list, that's exactly how I like to think of it so I can stay focused! I work off a hit list myself


I love the UU's you guys report, so that's for all the posts. Hello to all the newbies, you guys are most welcome.


I do have some UU's to report as I have been hoarding empties for about 3 weeks now. Here goes


UU's


Body shop olive exfoliant 200ml. Very gentle and not very scrubby. Maybe buy again.


Sanctuary spa salt scrub 650g. Already have another in my stash as I bought this on a buy two get one free offer last Christmas. Scrubby but oily. I like it.


Imperial leather original deodorant. A stash relic but I do like it maybe buy again in the future, it was very effective during the hot weather but you have to like that imperial leather smell to live with it.


Body shop peppermint foot scrub 100ml. Hubby liked this so much he used it as well. I might buy it for him as a wee stocking filler for Christmas. I like it but it made my eyes sting even though it was used on my feet whilst showering nowhere near my face. Very strong stuff.


Body shop wild rose hand wash 250ml. Would not buy again but would use it if received as a gift due to old fashioned smell.


Olive shower gel 250ml. Liked this and already have another in my stash.


Fenjal bath oil 200ml. Its a long story how I came to be in possession of a full range of fenjal products. (I shall save story for another day) Lovely quality but has a strong smell which you will either love or hate. I was determined to use it up and I am happy to see the back of it. I did toss what was left of the lotion in the bin.


Gliss ultimate colour hair conditioner 200ml. Like it and already have another in my stash.


This looks like a lot but some of the items were finished before I went on holiday and some I took away with me.


Sometimes I use hand and face scrubs on my body. They are not as scrubby but it is better than waste if you are not going to use them any other way.


It is very nice to be back, I can honestly say I have missed you guys.

How is Sunday almost over already:eek::eek::eek: Needless to say I still have a million and one things to do and now there's work coming back into the equation:( Onwards and upwards:)

Two more UUs Ted Baker body lotion & Right Guard Invisible deodrant.

I still had 2 UUs / TAs today:

Dita von Teese Perfume : WNBA. I had it for quite a long time and to be honest it's a smell that I can't stand (anymore). Gave me a headache and given the fact that not a lot was left, I just threw it away.

St. Ives Energizing Cleansing Wipes: WNBA. I just them to clean my brushes since it didn't even removed my mascara...
