  • Morning ladies,

    Been so ill overnight that I've had to stay off work today which is so frustrating so I'm feeling very sorry for myself!

    Two UUs today:

    Random Hotel Soap.

    Burt's Bees Soapbark and Chamomile Deep Cleansing Cream Mini 20g:
    This is now my HG and has done wonders for my skin since using it. It makes your skin feel cold and tingly (in a good way!),and as previously mentioned, had helped to start clearing my stubborn patch of spots. WDBA in full size when back in stock in Boots!

    I hope you all have a lovely weekend!

    I've had a few IN's from friends this week, but ended up only keeping 2 out of the 10 items and regifted the others.
    Kept a Batisse dry shampoo and Essie base coat

    UU's:
    Lush mother superior bubble bath bar
    Sakura bath bomb
    Love lettuce fask mask
    No buying toiletries challenge
    2015: 1348 UU's & GA's
    2016: 649
  • I've got a few items with the tubes cut, so hopefully they will be finished soon. It's shampoo and conditioner I'm drowning in, and it takes me so long to finish a bottle as it is! Any uses for repurposing conditioner?

    laundry conditioner. works a treat:beer:

    Hope you soon feel better Deleted_User.

    2 more UUs from the PP list:-

    LE IBST. HG product. Have taken last full sized bottle from stash and decanted some to 30ml spr.itzer bottle. Only have 50ml size left when this has gone.

    Avon Magix cashmere foundation. This applies really nicely but had worn off by lunch if I had not topped it up with LG BnB. Not a fan of liquid foundation. Will see if I have any more foundations to UUS.

    So my PP list is now like this

    Umberto Gianini dry shampoo x 1
    Liz Earle Eyebright
    Mark Hill straightening serum
    Elemis PCMC
    LG Spackle

    The toner will probably go next as I had decanted the last of the 200ml bottle into my 30ml spritzer and it was not spritzing much this morning. Next will probably be the foundation as the tube has been cut open and it looked this morning like there could be only one application left.

    A UU also that is not on the PP list:

    Any one of these products could be UUed next. Also have a tube of L'Occitane foot cream that is all rolle,d up. Maybe I can get the last out tonight using a cotton bud.

  • 2 UU's today

    Eve Lom morning time cleanser 100ml - WNB - didn't dislike it but prefer the normal cleanser with the grainy bits, this doesn't have that.
    L'occitane almond milk concentrate - WBA - LOVE the smell of this, although weirdly when i'd used it on my legs it kept peeling off after about an hour like i was shedding skin! Bit weird...has anyone else experienced this with other body lotions? Doesn't last long enough is my biggest bugbear with this, you don't get a lot for the money but smell is amazing.
  • A quick post and run. I'm hoping to put together my new dressing table this weekend, and really start sorting out all the toiletries!
    A few OUTs:
    TA Maybelline dream flawless nude second skin foundation sample. It was in shade 21, and even their lightest foundation is too dark for me, but I opened it before I realised.
    UU: imperial leather foamburst in sweet vanilla and cherry blossom. Love the product but this scent didn't last, will definitely try others though.
    Herbal essence clearly naked 0% volume conditioner 400m. Sadly the volume was about 0%, wnba.
    Sanctuary warm amber and lavender body wash 75ml. From a boots Xmas set, still have the body lotion to use but really liked this fragrance wnba.

    Have experienced this with hand cream before. Remember hearing on QVC a that it's due to white clay being used as an ingredient.

    Repainted my nails last night and am wearing Essie Midnight Cami with OPI Polka dot com on top.

    Sorted out 4 bottles of nail colour to GA yesterday. They are blue and silver colours that I don't wear. Will take them into work for my friends young daughter.
