    What exciting news hieveryone - congratulations, busy times ahead for you!

    I have a few small UUs from my weekend away:

    1-2/95-6. Bumble & Bumble Thickening Shampoo & Conditioner 7ml each - freebie and WMBA as I did like these, though hard to tell from two washes. Left my hair very shiny and manageable.


    3/97. Paul Mitchell Color Protect Daily Conditioner 50ml - probably WNBA, this was bought in the Regis sale and was very cheap but nothing special - and I don't have coloured hair!


    4/98. Nivea Firming Body Lotion 250ml - WMBA, this was purchased in the recent glitch so cost about 60p but think it's usually £5+ and not worth that IMO. Did the job and quite light which is great in this recent weather. Replaced with same.


    I still have lots of splutterers!

    I feel as though I need to LIVE in this thread! I have such a gigantic amount of toiletries...I always buy them because they're a bargain and then end up just giving them away because I have too many!

    Welcome to the thread.

    I am at the stage of digging out the blush from around the edges of the pan so that should be gone soon. Now I can't decide whether to keep the momentum up in July by targeting some easy outs, or get seriously stuck into some of my big bottles/jars that intimidate me.

    Why not do half and half?

    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 feel exactly the same way about the Bergamot and Lime body lotion by LE. Really don't want to finish it as I still have other body lotions to go at and want to stash loads in the US in September.

    2 more UUs for me : Clinique DDML. Couldn't get the last bit out of this stupid bottle and WNBA. To be fair I only end up using it if I get it as a freebie with a mag or GWP.

    Sachet of Philosophy Miracle Worker - it didn't do what it said on the tin!! WNBA. Don't get on with Philosophy skincare. This did tingle a little on application.

    6 INS at weekend. All part of the Boots Haircare 3for2 offer. In first transaction got Vidal Sassoon hair colourant (and OUT as well as I used it yesterday) together with a bottle each of Bleach London Shampoo and Conditioner for Emma. Means each item was £5.00.

    In the second transaction I got three Aussie travel sizes: shampoo, conditioner and leave in conditioner - all for Emma's trip to Tanzania. When divided by three they were more expensive than ASDA but ASDA never seems to have the Aussie minis in stock.

    Uu the loccitane rose petals hand cream last night, I was actually sad to see it go and I did cut it open to get every last bit out. I love this stuff, it makes your hands feel lovely and sinks in really well, unlike cheaper brands. WBA I do have 2 more to uu first though and a ton of cheaper ones.

    I decided form last month to make a dent in some of my big products and it's been a slooow couple of months for UUs! I would pick some easy and some large products so you are still reinforcing your efforts with the occasional UU :)


    Welcome VanyaHargreeves and hieveryone!

    Two UUs for me today:

    Superdrug Paradise Body Spray 75ml: HG - WDBA.
    Nivea Sensitive Cleansing Wipes: The wipes were nice,thick and cushioned but didn't see much of a difference compared to cheaper wipes. WNBA.

    I hope everyone is doing well!
