  • First UU for a while so here to shout about it!

    No 7 Quick thinking 4 in 1 wipes WNBA I don't get on well with make up wipes in general as I have quite sensitive skin, so I should remember this. I don't normally use them and they are reserved for increibly drunk make up removal :o

    I will be using baby wipes in future, I have the johnsons sensitive ones at the moment and may then migrate to the water wipes my friends have pointed me in the direction of, with them being new parents et al :P

    Not ideal, but better than nothing!

    UU-Philosophy Purity 3 in 1 cleanser This was a LHJ phew!! Don't think I'd buy again at least not just now. I have Lancome cleanser waiting for me.

    UU Vichy Serum sample. I have a lot of samples and need to start using them a bit.

    Do you have any suggestions for a remedy for a spot that does/did bleed?

    In the past I've used alcohol - of the perfume/aftershave variety. Stops the bleed and seems to help it dry up/clear. Some of my toners/astringent cleansers have also seemed to do the trick if I dab on liberally rather than wipe over with it.

    Stings though......

  • Another two UUs for me :j

    7. Batiste XXL Volume Dry Shampoo 200ml. Can't imagine that I will buy again, it's just dry shampoo - nothing spesh! Will be replacing with a Batiste Cherry Dry Shampoo 200ml.

    8. Mitchum Powder Fresh Aerosol Deodorant 35ml. I won't buy this again just because I much prefer the stick version, I have been using this on my feet (lol) and will replace it with a full size (200ml) version so I expect to have fragrant feet for a fair old while! I personally find it a bit hard to breathe after spraying any kind of aerosol deodorant and can't imagine that it is very good for your lungs if you breathe it in?!

    Evening all

    Just caught up as not been on for a while. Nice amount of UUs being listed, get that stash down. :)

    I have decided to do a weekly update on a Sunday but had no connection Sunday gone. Will save it all for Sunday coming and am happy with what I'm using up. Also my skin is so grateful with me deciding to do this challenge, I forgot how soft it can be when splurged with the right items.

    Only snag is I've also started wearing make-up again and I hardly had any so a fews in for that.

    Will keep up with the thread and see how everyone else is doing.

    Take care

    Uus:
    Estee Lauder Modern Muse sample perfume. Would probably
    not buy as I have similar smelling floral perfumes.

    Rosewater

    Sure shower fresh anti-perspirant.

    2 UU this morning...

    S&G righteous butter mini - WBA like this, the scent is lovely and it sinks in quickly.

    Avon hair refresher spray raspberry & hibiscus - WBA I already have more stashed as it's a HG item for me. I do sleep ins at work and it makes your hair smell like you've just washed it. Much prefer it to dry shampoo.

    Got a few fragrance ins - body shop moringa body mist, body shop vineyard peach body mist, Bethany mota perfume (ordered it from the USA as I love the bottle design... Bad gemzie) and avon femme.

    I would use neat tea tree oil first - just a dab. Let it absorb then one dab of neat lavender oil. You can pick the oils up cheaply from Boots or Wilkinsons.
