  • First UU of July!

    1. Redken Extreme CAT Protein Reconstructing Treatment 150ml. Won't buy again, I don't think it did anything for my hair and it was really hard to squirt in the shower when you've got wet hands!

    Hi all,

    I SO need to re-join the thread! I have been massively absent (although in my defence, have also not purchased many more toiletries, so that's good!)

    What I have been busy doing is moving house, getting engaged and finding out I was pregnant! So a little busy to be tracking toiletries use :rotfl::rotfl:

    *Think* I have unpacked all the boxes from house move so should be able to have a good look at toiletries left and will update :)

    Congrats on all three, exciting and busy times huh!

    A couple of UU here
    S&G Scrub of your Life WBA ncie and scrubby
    Lacura night cream WBA lasted ages and only £1.99
    Debt free and busy treating myself:)

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales

    Congratulations. Nice to see you back.

    I have two more uu's

    Clinique All About Eyes 7ml - WBA.

    Bobbi Brown Extreme Party Mascara - this was a gwp size and to be fair to it I had been in my stash a long time, it was unopened but it was still quite dry, it may be like that anyway though.

    Hi ladies,

    Haven't posted in a while so just been catching up. Thanks for the new thread.

    Welcome to all newbies and well done everyone on all the UU and no buys. Such exciting news hieveryone - congratulations and nice to see you back. Hope Fizzwhizz and mcculloch are both well, not seen them posting in a while.

    No UU really here (I only count UU of things that I have a stash of). I finished off 1 of my 4 x 4 items in time, the Botanics brightening night moisturiser. Don't love this really and have another half used one in the stash still to go. Have used up a few samples of other moisturisers but don't think I ever counted them as INS. I also managed to hit pan on my eyebrow palette for the 4 x 4 challenge but didn't manage to hit pan on another 2 items.

    Going to think about what I really want to target over the next few months....

    Congratulations! Sounds like a busy year for you!!

    I have my first UU for July, super excited to have 1 down. I hope to have many many more to follow!

    1. Liz Earle Vanilla and saffron body cream. WBA - this cream is fantastic, so smooth and leaves skin lovely and soft. Also smells amazing!! However.. I need to wait at least 6 months till I get through the rest of my stash :)

    I have a little flurry of uu's

    Body Shop Vanilla Brulee Bath Jelly - I have 3 more of these in the stash, it smells lovely but you need to use quite a lot to be able to smell it in the water, loads of bubbles but the main reason I WNBA is the jelly is hard to dissolve, I have to squish it about in my hand under the hot tap but the water is too hot for my hand.

    Dr Organic Monoi Moisture Melt - gorgeous, very moisturising and smells lovely, I have 2 more in the stash to use.

    Imperial Leather Foamburst Bewitching Blackberry & Fig - WBA, everyone in my house loves these, only downside is they don't last very long.

    Morning all, only just got round to posting a July list up

    Added 4 items
    A lush shampoo bar DH loves those I'd got him one for Father's Day and forgotten to give it him.
    A roll on deodorant, I'd completely run out apart from a body spritz spray so this was a needed purchase.
    Two bottles of shampoo, not desperately needed but we are running low on shampoo so should have some UUs in that dept soon.

    I have another UU this morning.

    2. Como Shamballa Shampoo - Trial size. WNBA - did not like the smell of this shampoo at all despite being told it is a higher quality than molten brown products due to containing more essential oils. I wash my hair every single day so I really don't build up much oil/dirt in it. Yet i still needed to lather up with this shampoo twice each morning to get my hair to feel "normal". Still have one more in the stash to use up but it's such a chore to use it. Would not recommend to other moneysavers :(

    On the bright side one more bottle gone from my bathroom... July UU's are giving me a pep in my step today :)

    Happy Monday to everyone!
