  • I'm in!

    I'm suspecting that I will get quite a few things for xmas, so am attempting to have no new IN's for December, only UU's! I have one tube cut open and a few more things on their last legs so am hoping to clear at least a little bit of space before xmas.
    No more goo hoarding!

    Good morning everyone on this "pinch and a punch" day.

    AND - thank you for your kind comment regarding my title clang:D

    Here is my PP list for December

    250ml Gatineau Melatogenine Cream Cleanser
    15ml Lacura Eye Cream
    50ml Zelens Z Matrix Energy and Moisture Infusion
    50ml Tesco Coconut Shea butter body butter
    75ml approx. Misc. body creams, hotel freebies etc, decanted into pump dispenser.
    30ml LRP Redermic anti wrinkle treatment
    150ml Inecto Coconut Oil Hair Treatment
    12ml Leighton Denny Slick Tips
    30ml Onsen Cuticle Conditioner
    15ml CND Solar Oil

    Sadly the Zelens and the LRP Redermic aggravate the super sensitive patches on my face so are being re-purposed for use on neck and hands (The Zelens cost £84 to buy, but was a giveaway win)

    First UU of month
    Mouthwash, Listermint, 300ml
    WNBA. Only using mouthwash as I have some in the house, and don't intend to replace. Not at all keen on the flavour of this one, which is a shame as the next to be used is an identical bottle !!

    If there is a way to do this, perhaps someone will sing out please:D
    Ah, never mind then :P Just my inner grammar nazi coming out.
    Morning everyone! Well it's the 1st December and I already have a UU to report:
    Great start to the month!!

    I'm in!

    I'm suspecting that I will get quite a few things for xmas, so am attempting to have no new IN's for December, only UU's!

    I think I'm going to get a few bits for Xmas and I might have to buy myself the S&G when it goes on offer.

    Glad you didn't :)
    It's always a grey area online because people can't necessarily get the tone.

  • Morning ladies
    I'm back in again for another month, thanks maddiemay for starting us off again
    I haven't managed to keep up with the thread for a while so hope everyone is well. I need to update my stash list as I have had a ridiculous amount of ins lately. There are also two gift bags from l'occitane sitting under the Christmas tree at the moment which will swell the numbers too

    Off now to try and get some sleep
    Happy pampering xo

    Morning ladies!

    Another UU to keep the momentum going:

    2/293. Philosophy Purity Made Simpler 3-in-1 Cleanser 90ml - HG and WDBA, hoping to restock in the sales. For now I am on to using my HUGE Clinique facial soap, it was gifted to me a while ago and I've been putting off using it as I've gradually moved away from Clinique recently, plus it takes up masses of space in the shower! This will definitely be a LHJ!

    I have a make-up UU too, though this doesn't help with my "150 target" as I don't include make-up on my stash list - though I plan to do so next year:

    3/294. No7 Extreme Lash Mascara mini in black - this was a GWP and WMB, nice consistency (not too wet) and I liked the wand. No need to replace anytime soon though, I have "a few" others stashed - for now I've moved onto a Pout one, hoping I don't like it too much as Pout was discon several years ago... :o
