  • Hello am I able to join even if a lil late in the month. I have a serious amount of toiletries and have a habit of opening using for a few days then not using the rest for ages but opening more and more! I have made lists and stuck them on my cupboard I store it in ao I can cross off. I have uu nivea hydration primer already this month wnba as it didnt really do much for my skin.x

    I'm trying hard to ignore it too. Body Shop glitches and sales seem to occur fairly frequently so remember there will always be another one. I'm afraid I did succumb to the Molton Brown offer over the weekend though so will shortly have a couple of ins to declare. :o
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    UU - Superdrug Vitamin E face night cream. A nice light cream that smells pleasant. I used this up as a body lotion tonight though as I've had it a while and didn't want to put it on my face.

    Welcome!
    Great way of using stuff up, repurposing, my feet in particular have seen a remarkable range of items moisturising them.
    Currently it's a sunblock cream bought in Spring 2013, that was 2/3rds full thanks to a distinct lack of sun. It's doing a really good job on the feet so far. :D

  • So ive just done a coumt and ive got 44 body products to use up plus about 50 nail varnishes which ive hardly used and 10 perfumes. I also have a lot of make up but going to concentrate on the body stuff first as most of it is opened. X

    resisted Clinique bonus time(quick polish of halo)when I think back to last year and all the bonus times and beauty boxes I bought that I no longer buy I should be loaded!!!!(but am not!)
    fed up as local salon I go to is changing from Decleor which I love to ARK which have never heard of(I also have lots of Decleor stuff in stash and do not want to start buying another brand)
    off for an Elemis treat next week,lux manicure and facial then night away in Stratford going to see a play :)
    saw Full Monty last week,brilliant

    Uu Prada l'eau ambree body lotion, I have had this for years, it was part of a set which included a bottle of the fragrance. This is one of my favourite scents and I really enjoyed using it. It was also an excellent moisturizer and left my skin really soft, that said I'm unlikely to go out and buy this but would be delighted if I received it as a gift.

    Happy pampering xo

    Hi ladies

    Lots of UUs from me, seem to be on a roll this week:

    18/258. Paul Mitchell Color Protect Daily Conditioner 50ml - bought very cheapky in the Regis sale and WBA at that price as it left my hair in great condition, though it's not coloured.

    19/259. Batiste Dry Shampoo 200ml - WDNB, this was gifted and I hated it - didn't seem to work on me, succeeded only in leaving my hair white and dusty! I tend to wash my hair daily anyway so don't really have a need for dry shampoo, but there are others I prefer.

    20/260. John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Shine Shock Glosser 25ml - WDBA, this lasted me ages and my hair seems to love it.

    21/261. Simple Kind to Skin Facila Cleansing Wipes x 7 - the last of my freebies, great for a quick cleanse but I much prefer a proper routine, and there are other (cheaper) wipes I prefer for when I do use them.

    I also have some INs in the form of my L'Occitane gift box - a lovely freebie!

    1/204. L'Occitane Verbena Shampoo 30ml

    2/205. L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream 10ml

    3/206. L'Occitane Almond Shower Oil 35ml

    4/207. L'Occitane Milk Shea Butter Extra-Gentle Soap 25g

    Disappointing not to make it throguh the month with no INs, but at least it should be a spend-free month :)
