I have a TA this week

Avon Gel EyeLiner Pencil - WNBA the pencil nib fell out after sharpening a few times.

UU my boots gift card the other day. I'd been hanging onto it for a rainy day but a year was probably enough!

Soap and glory was on 3 for 2 as was sanctuary etc

So ins are:

Soap and glory sugar crush fragrance
Soap and glory sugar crush body spray
Soap and glory mist you madly fragrance
Extracts cocoa butter scrub (huge pot!!)
Sanctuary bath float 500ml

Very excited to use the sugar crush fragrance as I'm a big fan of the orangeasm one. 3 for 2 meant I got the two fragrances and bath float for 20 instead of 30... A good saving and left 10 on my gift card which I used for the scrub which is a HG scent for me and the body spray. I'm pleased with that

Eta finished a tube of Colgate max fresh night toothpaste so another UU. WNBA I'm not keen on it at all it does an ok job but I hate the taste of it. Onto the super drug toothpaste now.

Nice goodies there Gemzie. I still have the orangeism to try from the kit I got for Christmas when it was Deal of the Week.

Have some OUTs but all throw/give aways.

Smashbox Pout lipgloss. This came in a kit and I gave it to Emma some time ago as it suited her more than me. She has tossed it as it's separated. WNB this colour again but love Smashbox lipglosses and will probably bring some back from US.

YSL Shocking mascara. This dried up this morning so it's gone. Not sure if it's UU but have been using it a while. Have a Laura Geller mascara to replace this.

Aussie dry shampoo. Decided to get rid of this the other day when I bought some Batiste to replace the two Umberto Gianini cans that are refusing to empty!! This has been open and neither Emma or I are keen. Mentioned to a friend at work that I'd bring it in for her. Pulled it out of my wardrobe this morning and it's very light. Not sure how much she will get out of it and I now seem a phoney saying that I didn't get on with it that well !!

Have a good day all. xx

Hi all.

I have a uu

Body Shop Big & Curvy Mascara - this had been in my stash a long time (unopened) and it is very dry and clumpy, I like a wet formula so have been struggling with this one for a couple of weeks and it is time to let it go. I have had this mascara before and don't remember not liking it.

I have cut open my foundation today and think it should be gone in the next week or so.

Willowbee - I have a Revlon Colourstay in the stash, what did your bottle go like?

I have 2 UU and 1 TA to report this morning.

You're flawless powder by benefit - use up.
Benefit lipstick - use up.

I was also guilty of keeping an old you're flawless powder box on my make up stand because the display looked pretty.

That's 6 products gone since I started this the beginning of the month and I feel very proud.

I'm also getting to the end of my BB cream and was thinking about where I was going to go to purchase a new one. Until I looked at my pretty display and realised that I have one bottle and two samples of foundation and a tinted moisturiser. No need to purchase any more until they're all gone! I know they're all different products but I do not want to have so many.

I bought a powder a while back and used it once or twice and wasn't really a fan. Now that I've ran out of benefit I'm going to try my best to UU before going to something else.

Massive thanks for this board and for making me think before I spend!

1 UU Thermo Active Slimming Cream from Evelin Cosmetics - I found this on Amazon and after reading good reviews, decided to give it a try. It contains caffeine. I found it to be effective. Bear in mind though I regularly exercise (at least I try) and watch what I'm eating.

1 IN - Origins Blemish Spot Remover. I have odd spots that I still fight against and wanted to give it a go and used my points to purchase.

Hi Dolly

The foundation looked fine - it wasn't split or a weird colour but it smelt bad/off. I suspect it was old(er) stock when I bought it as it was reduced on somewhere like Fragrance Direct. I bought it a long time ago :eek: I doubt there is any reason to worry about yours It's one that I'll definitely re-buy once I've finished some other bases. I don't really know why I stopped using it...


rdone It sounds like you're doing really well! Makeup is one of the most difficult things to use up...


I have a fun UU from last night:

Olay Total Effects Mask Stretching Cloth Mask - WMB. This was a freebie from way back, thankfully still fine. Was great fun to use (and spook my OH with :rotfl:) This was another pink candle item. My skin does look better this morning but I'm not sure if that is a coincidence! :rotfl:

The foundation may have been OK as it has a very strong paintlike smell anyway - is that what it smelt of?

Hi ladies.

Hope everyone is doing ok. Good work with all the UU and PPs!

Some more UU for me:

Nivea hydro care lip balm (yay, finally a lip balm UU)
Bubbles and butters chocolate shower gel 250ml
Elemis fresh skin mattifying moisturiser 25ml

And one UU I might as well declare now as got the spluttering this morning:
Marc Jacobs Daisy shower gel 75ml? A pink rose candle item that I decided to enjoy now. I also have a Dot one to use up.

Also some INs in the form of the L'occitane freebie set, so five ins.

Oh! It does...Thanks for telling me It didn't cause me any problems when I tested it yesterday so I'll hang on to it after all. :A Thank you! :A


Carolyn - well done for finishing a lip balm! It's so satisfying :rotfl:
