Hello possibly my last uu for the month
20. Random bath bomb either lush or bomb cosmetics . Had some petals through it very nice looking bath but a pain to clean
21, nspa toffee shimmer body oil -wnba I didn't use it as liked the smell too much to waste then it went bad ;(
22mac fluid line in the shade waveline? Was a dark blue wnba .dried out before I finished it
23 urban decay eyeliner in zero . Nice product but no need to buy again as I have at least 7/8 more ... They came with every urban decay palette for a while.i think for black eyeliner cheaper brands work fine but for some of thr coloured ones they do they work really well£365 a year spend challenge - this has included food/clothes/beauty?? who knows where I am

have 3 ins to admit to!
1. Cherry coke lipsmacker
Adore the smell and colour of this. Only 62p though!

3. Revlon matte balm in sultry
Pretty colour and the revlon lip products were 2 for £10 at tesco
One ga to report though!

Sundaysgirl - Even a wide toothed comb gets stuck at the bottom couple of inches of my hair. I do leave it dry naturally but can't not use products as it is fine and not corkscrew type curls, more like frizzy ringlets.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Willowbee/Sundaysgirl - I really love the zingy scent of S&G Sugar Crush.
I love lime and I love sweet scents so I thought Sugar Crush would be perfect. I can't work out if it isn't lime-y enough or if it isn't sweet enough :rotfl: There is a milky background scent to it that may be throwing me off (I had a similar prob with Laura Mercier Creme Brulee which I thought I would adore). The body butter smells better once it's on my skin so I'll persevere. I've not tried the scrub yet but that has the most appealing version of the scent.
I hope you find a solution for your hair. Mine is very straight so I don't have any advice, I'm afraid...0 -
Willowbee - I love the Creme Brulee range a lot but love the Almond Coconut Milk more still.
I have a uu
Vichy Normaderm Global Anti Imperfection Care 50ml - I hated this. It went on the skin and stayed tacky for an age then it dried and left my skin tight. It didn't absorb though and when I put foundation on it balled up underneath. I tried using it up at night but even after using face wash in the morning it still balled up under foundation. I have liked other things from this brand though. In the end I used this as foot cream.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

Hello ladies!
A few UU to report:
Radox spa care shower gel 200ml
Avon advanced techniques argan oil shampoo 250ml
Avon advanced techniques argan oil conditioner 250ml
TBS vineyard peach shower gel 250ml
Lush snowcake soap chunk
Handmade heart soap (unsure of fragrance)
TBS passion fruit facial gel cleanser 250ml
A TA: no7 lipgloss in Smile. I love this colour, but I've had this open for much longer than the 24month recommendation. Has started to smell a bit funny, so sadly out it goes. Was struggling to get the last bits out of it anyway when I last used it. Another of the same in the stash.
I think that's them all! All definately helping to clear space in my wardrobe(s)!
However, I am bad, move over on the naughty step!
I went to to some Boots stores on Wednesday
I was more reserved than previous years and only went to small chemist ones before 9am.
So some ins:
Boots extracts mini hat box: 4x mini items. Body spray, shower gel, body butter and body scrub.
Boots extracts strawberry mini mix. 1x mini shower gel and 1x mini body butter
Sanctuary little bag of treats. 3x mini items. Body polish, body lotion and body wash. The little bag it all came in is absolutely gorgeous!
2x Balmi lip balms 1x coconut and 1x raspberry
Lady Gaga Fame set. Perfume and body lotion.
Ohh and I got a Smashbox primer sample sachet through the post.
So.... That's...14 ins.
Only need another 6 UU to balance the month out!
Really trying to UU lots more items before our big trip in 2 weeks time!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone!0 -

However, my trip to a certain sale on Wednesday might suggest otherwise... I surely can't be the only one on here to have caved?! Lots of the regular faces have been quite over the past few days so I have my sneaking suspicions that I'm not alone on the naughty step! Despite all best intentions I did buy a fair bit, though mostly as gifts to go with main pressies, mainly for next Christmas. I stocked up on body butters a bit as I get through these so quickly, and one S&G set I wanted. Full update on INs to follow when I have more time
*Sneaks in, twiddling thumbs*
I did fill a basket online in the early hours and then emptied it. I might have been to lush to check out the new valentines range, bought a couple of items. I might have ordered some sugar scrubs and a body butter in the sale from a small company I love. I might have ordered 10 sheet masks because I had some meme points and one of their codes was giving 10 dollars off rather than 10% off. I know I did not last long into 2015 before I have started buying again.
My lush boxing day order has finally being dispatched ( already on list) I had one gift box cancelled but apparently they have added another as a sorry.
Anyway......
UU's
17 Bright side bubble bar WBA
18 Elemis PMC WBA this always suits my skin and a firm favourite but I am banned ( apparently) from buying anymore face cream. I do have another 3 in stock ( now I sound like I own a store, actually I probably do own enough stuff to open my own).
19 Aloe Vera sheet mask WBA
20Lancôme gentle cleansing fluid WNBA this was a GWP, worked okay but I prefer oil cleansers as I find they remove all traces of make up.
21 Hair salon nutritive mist WNBA okay but I found it made my hair sticky.
INS
16 Unicorns horn bubble bar
17 Heart throb Bubbleroon
18 Flower bath ballisitic ( can't remember the name)
19 Yes, yes, yes massage bar0 -
UU superdrug natural radiant balm and I'm gutted I have another one but either I picked up the wrong one or they have changed the ingredients?0

Wilko facial wash made the mistake of not stocking up on Nivea when I saw it and then couldn't get it. Also trying their facial wipes as they were 50p
I think my Nivea cleansing wash will be done tomorrow0 -
Another PCMC addict here, I have loads to use up and am self banned from any more purchases for a long time to come.
Was pleased that I managed to resist he Boots sale, first time I have not been for years. I did have a look online though but did not set the alarm as I usually do for daft o'clock and luckily nothing left to tempt me at 7.00 am when I logged on.
A couple of UU, Elemis Bliss Capsules, came in a gift set some while ago and the seven day boost does seem to make my skin better. I have another jar in stock so will not be buying more.
Also a small S@G body butter, I have gallons of this as a couple of years ago I mentioned I like it and everyone gave me body butter for Christmas and birthdays. I am trying to use some everyday but my stash will still last forever, even though I gave away about 6 jars before Christmas0
