    Another UU :)

    Decleor Aroma Cleanse (50ml) - WBA as this is my HG cream cleanser. It's lucky I love it as I have a one litre salon size waiting to be used! :D/:eek: I think that I'm going to UU all my sample/travel size cleansers first though as they feel more 'cluttery'. I'd rather decant fresh toner/cleanser into travel bottles as and when I need them from now on.

    Forgot I UUed a bomb cosmetics bath creamer yesterday. Think it may have been a Gold Linger one. It was nice but I still added some Elemis Rose and jasmine milk to it for bubbles. My skin feels really soft today.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Ren Hydra-calm cleanser - got this from TKMaxx funnily enough, i've never seen Ren there before. Thought i'd give it a go for £9.99 and its really nice, very similar to LE C&P but smells better.

    National Trust Woodland body lotion - only cost 50p in clearance at TKMaxx so thought i'd give it a go!

    Hotel chocolat body lotion - free gift with tasting club - i've used this a few times and it's ok, very strong smell though.

    UU:
    Herbal essences dazzling shine shampoo - WNBA - ended up using this for DS hair as this didn't suit me at all.
    I once had a conditioner that didn't suit so thought i'd try it on DS hair for the duration of the bottle...that's long gone but now he's so convinced he needs it that he won't have his hair shampood if I don't condition it afterwards! He's only 5 bless him ... maybe he'll need to join this thread soon:eek:

    Molton Brown gingerlily shower gel - nice enough but the scent didn't grab me, WNBA

    Theorie shampoo x 2 - eventually got through these, they're very large bottles from TK Maxx but it's lovely stuff. I've bought a couple more to replace as they're not in all the time so thought i'd get them while they were there.

    I've also put a Becca jewel dust eyeshadow that i've never used on eBay so hopefully that will sell.

    That's it for now, I think that will probably be it for March too. Really need to get on with body moisturising as i've got lotions stacking up again. Can tell i've been naughty and not doing enough slathering!
    Im having laser hair removal on my lower legs so I'm hoping that my smoother legs will encourage me to moisturise a bit more!

    Hope everyone has had a nice weekend :-)

    two UUs!

    Weleda almond facial oil - wmba, I may have been using this wrong and it probably would have been better as an eye make up remover
    Sisley radiant glow express facial mask - this stuff is really really expensive so I was expecting a lot, and was a bit let down. Doesn't even smell that great.

    A UU and an IN to report:

    UU - Elemis Skin Nourishing Shower Cream - would buy again if as part of a set - wouldn't pay individual price for it.

    IN - Clinique Superdefense Eye Cream SPF 20

    Products: 52

    Looking forward to getting April's UU challenge listed, I am moving house and packing everything up so will be trying hard to UU quite a few things :T


    Bought is to buy. Brought is to bring.

    Your little DS sounds very sweet. Hope your lasering goes well.
    two UUs!

    Sisley radiant glow express facial mask - this stuff is really really expensive so I was expecting a lot, and was a bit let down. Doesn't even smell that great.

    I had a mini tube of that mask a while back and felt the same, Sisley is unbelievably expensive, I can't see what they could be putting in things to justify the prices.

    I have a flurry of uu's

    L'Occitane Verbena Shower Gel 75ml - one more of these to go.

    L'Occitane Rose Petal Hand Cream 30ml - I would happily use this again but wouldn't pay full price.

    Sai Sei Mineral Bath Salts 454g - these were bought in the SpaceNK sale and I have another tub, I WNBA, they smell lovely but I seem to use loads, I only got 3 uses from this tub.

    Morning hope everyone is well. Welcome newbies, lovely to see some more that want to decrease their stash. Asset I do wish you luck and hope you find a job, like is not always fair.

    UU's
    47 Whoosh shower jelly WBA nice enough but still have quite a few ( and might gain one soon )

    48 fizz anger bath ballisitc WMBA not too much a fan of the scent of this one anymore.

    49 shoot for the Stars ballisitic WBA love the "show" this one is one of my favourites but as normal have several more in stash as usual.

    50 Dr young face cleanser WNBA does not foam, they are only samle sizes so as I don't like them I am finally on the last one.

    51 soya lumpoule WNBA not sure what it supposed to do but very calming to the skin.

    52 tony moly brown sugar mask WNBA did not like it and the colour was not very nice especially when putting it all over your face, not very scrubby either.

    53 philosophy cinnamon shower gel WMBA I do really like philosophy shower gel but felt this had less scent than others.

    54 treacle moon honeycomb shower gel WMBA I did really like this nad used it as shower gel, bubble bath, hand washing soap and to clean the bathroom with. Cheaper that's other shower gels I buy and lovely consistency, will at some point buy again

    55 the lamplighter whipped soap WMBA the scent has changed this year so am not quite a fan but I do love whipped soap for shaving legs e.t.c.

    56 six pence pudding sugar scrub WNBA lovely scrub but had clove in it and I really dont like the scent.

    57 lush sugar sc rub WMBA picked up in the Boxing Day sale and whatever I do they still go soggy so will not purchase again.

    58 chocolate spa bath bomb WNBA this came from a beauty box and literally do nothing but sink to the bottom of the bath and took about 30 minutes to dissolve making the bath a not so lovely brown colour.

    59 Ruth body butter WBA but probably in a different scent and only when I have the money as postage is expensive.

    60 sweet potato body butter WBa but again in a different t scent, I found this one too sweet for me.

    61 bodyshop Ginger shampo WBA still one I do really like and seems to agree with my scalp more than others.

    62 small bar of lavender soap wmba liked how it worked but not as scented as I would like.

    63 hand sanitiser in Honolulu sun WBA loved the scent.

    Ins ( been naughty)

    Lush
    9-10 2 soaps
    11 olive branch shower gel 100g
    12-13 2 small fun
    14 rub rub rub shower scrub
    15 celebrate body lotion
    16 snowman shower jelly
    If honest I bought them for the hat box they came in because I really wanted it. But I am down about 40 this month which as far better than normal. Who knows I might do the same in April.

    Well the month is almost over. One last UU for me I think is elemis Frangipani shower cream. Learning to like this product but not love enough to repurchase singularly.

    So my PP list looks like this

    various founfation sachets/travel tubes
    YSL brown Babydoll mascara
    Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator
