    Evening ladies. I finally have a LHJ to report UU - tigi dumb blonde 750mls. Must have been in regular use for two years. Have another smaller sized one left to uu.

    Also trying for another fragrance uu by the end of the month.

  • A couple of toiletries OUTs:

    14) BPTP tealight in "Nice". WNBA - too sweet.
    15) Sanctuary Unwind bubble bath. WNBA - the scent in the bottle is lovely but I had to use loads to get any sort of scent in the bath, hardly any bubbles either. Really disappointing.

    And just to balance it...

    IN:

    7-8) Dental floss

    And another small make-up OUT:

    5) Highlighter sample

    Puts me at a balance of -7 for toiletries and -5 for make-up. It looks like I'm doing well with make-up OUTs compared to what I estimated (just 10 for the year) but I have cheated a bit by using up some samples first, I suspect it will go a lot more slowly from now on. I don't think I'll need ANY make-up this year though so at least I shouldn't have any INs.

    Toiletries we still have lots on their way out, may even get another UU tonight (moisturiser).

    I have some shame faced ins to report :o A little unhappy with my skin at the moment so I'm going to change my routine slightly. Used my Boots points for:

    No7 cleansing oil
    No7 melting gel cleanser
    No7 exfoliator

    All on 3 for 2.
    Also trying things to help me sleep better, so got a Sanctuary Spa Sleepy candle which had a GWP of body scrub, boys wash and body lotion

    Also got some more Garnier Restoring Hand Cream as my bf loves it and we're nearly out.

    Still £80 in points left though!
  • UU to report!

    12. Soap and glory butter yourself mini
    Liked this, moisturising and smelt nice. WBA but have loads in the stash.

    13. Soap and glory the daily youth moisturiser
    Really enjoyed this. Smells like peaches, was hydrating and absorbed quickly which was handy before applying make up. WBA

    Another teeny UU from me:

    18. L'Occitane Shea Butter Hand Cream 10ml - freebie and WMBA if I ever need to replenish my hand cream stash. This was lovely, absorbed well and left my hands feeling soft.

    Balanced out by an IN thanks to DH:


    10. TBS Shea Butter Body Butter 200ml


    Fiasco - I know only too well your sense of achievement at having UU the Tigi 750ml - I have several more of this size and every time I use one I know it will create so much space!

    Morning everyone, have a couple of UU to report:

    - TBS Cammomile Waterproof Eye Makeup Remover: I used to love the old version of this because it wasn't oily but still got rid of everything, whereas this is one of the bi-phase ones you shake. It did it's job but WNBA, going to check out the Rimmel one soon.

    - Lush Hot Toddy shower gel 250g: WBA, loved using this over the festive period and it left my skin feeling rather soft and slightly moisturised. On to a TBS Almond one.

    Morning ladies.

    I have an itty bitty uu

    Benefit Porefessional 7ml - I have a few more of these in the stash but after that WNBA as I don't have a problem with large pores so other primers are probably better for me.

    Also some ins

    Ren Clearcalm 3 Clarifying Clay Cleanser 150ml - I have just opened my current bottle of this and my skin looked soooo much better after about 3/4 days of using. I use it as a morning cleanser and it is really gorgeous on the skin so I have decided to not bother with any other morning cleansers/face washes as I think the foaming ingredients are causing me to break out.

    Ren Clearclam 3 Clarity Restoring Mask 50ml - this sounds very good but I haven't tried it yet so time will tell.

    Also 2 samples with the order - 5ml Detox Mask and 3ml Rescue Cream.

  • Confessional: 5 IN's.


    Palmer's cocoa butter dry skin cream for hands (a friend gave me some to sample when we met up and it was so good on my horrible winter-cracked mitts I couldn't not...)


    Went to Lush as I had vouchers:


    Fresh Farmacy (used up old after all and it does too much good to not reinvest!)
    Tender is the night massage bar.
    Mmm melting marshmallow moment bath melt.
    The kiss lip scrub.


    I also managed to get 2 fresh face mask samples to try out as a bonus! BB Seaweed and Oatifix.


    No UU's to report yet but think I may get a few at once over the next week/ fortnight. Watch this space!

    I hope everyone is feeling as well as possible today :)

    I've just had a sort through of my make up and only found one thing to get rid of! I suppose that's good in a way... :rotfl: Hopefully I'll use things more now that I've re-jigged things.

    My small OUTs:

    10. NUXE Rose Petal Micellar Cleansing Water (35ml) - WBA. I find this really effective on eye make up but gentle enough not to irritate my skin. I have another couple to use from NUXE gifts/sets but I'll probably buy the full size once I'm through everything else.

    11. Clinique Quick Eyes Cream Shadow (Rose Quartz) - pretty but WNBA. Had to TA as it has dried up.
