I have UU a small Gatineau Floracil and a bottle of rosehip oil that were part used from going to my parents. They are regular items that I always have.

Oooh, what does this do?

Birdnerd - hope you are OK now.

I have some uu's

Elemis Lime Blossom Balancing Cleanser 200ml - this is a nice cleanser but the pump stops pumping out product when there is loads left so I have to faff about to get the rest out. WNBA due to price and packaging.

Liz Earle Nourishing Botanical Body Cream 200ml - this is lovely, it does take a teeny bit more effort than some creams to rub in but that's good for your skin too. I would happily use again but wouldn't buy at full price.

I have a Murad facial exfoliator. I can't remember what it's called. It comes in individual tubes and is left on the face for a few minutes. It's amazing but it's expensive. I bought it from QVC. Very also sell some Murad. And Gatineau which is another of my downfalls!

Ooh dear I think I may have to get some Murad. I'm using LE Superskin Concentrate at night at the moment and feel that my skin does need this extra oomph. Am not keen on the LE one though. This is only a 2ml size and it's nearly gone but I don't like the smell or the fact that I can't control the dosage from the tiny vial. I have used Gatineau Melatogenine Force Collegan serum in the past and loved it though didn't repurchase because of the cost and how speedily I got through the bottle. It looks like the exchange rate is getting good though so will look for Murad in the US.

I'm using the Sally Hansen Mega Shine Top Coat at the moment and it is really good, my polish stays on just as good as with Seche, it doesn't set as quick though. The only problem with it the bottle is silver and when you get near the end you can't see where the remaining polish is.

I'm not very impressed by it dolly. My nails chipped the next day of wearing and I've been topping my polish up every night (OPI Nein Nein Nein OK Fine). I think my favourite top coat is still Essie although the To Dry For variety has been discontinued.

Liz Earle Instant Boost Skin Tonic (sample size) - I love this stuff, it makes my skin feel so clean, I use it with the rest of the set and it's lovely. My boss and his wife got me the set for my birthday so I already have the replacement.

I bought a Lush face mask on the weekend (I shall look up the name when I get home) in the hope that it'll help get rid of the spot I've had on my cheek for about 3 months, it seems to be drying up but it's just taking so long! I've never had problems like this before which is why I'm in a panic about anything new before the wedding!

I bought Emma a tub of Lush Cosmetic Warrior last week as a welcome home gift from her trip to Tanzania. She used it yesterday and was really impressed at how soft it has made her skin feel. I don't think I have tried any of their masks.

Spurred on by her I ran myself a bath last night and applied the last of my LE Brightening Mask. WNBA. I wanted to like this but still don't get on with the camphor smell. Plus it stings which is not very nice. Have a small tube of her Nourishing mask to try next and have another small tube of the Balance Me mask that came as a mag freebie. Am thinking I'll take the latter away with me and ditch what I don't use over there. Don't like the flaky bits in it.

Can't you decant the toner into a smaller bottle that is under 100ml? I'm presuming that you can't take it because you're flying and it's a larger bottle than that?

Another fan of IBST here. Just haven't found an alternative although I'm toying with the idea of trying one of the Lush ones. I decant mine into a LE 30ml spritzer bottle so that it lasts longer.

I have the same problem with the Elemis cleanser and end up sawing the bottle in half to get to the last bits. I do keep repurchasing though as it really works for me. Any other morning cleansers don't combat the oil problem that builds up on my t zone otherwise.

I also love LE body cream and like you don't like paying the hefty price for it but I can still honestly say that no other lotion keeps me moisturised all day as this one does. I have one in my stash. Not sure when it will come out. Because of working longer hours at the moment I have got really lazy about applying body lotion and still have the Molten Brown hand and body lotion and a tub of Sanctuary body souffle on the go.

OK on top of the LE mask I have also UUed a 30ml tub of Elemis PCMC (HG - stacks left) and the 100ml bottle of Cutex nail polish remover (the nourishing one I think which is new HG - just one swipe and all the polish comes off). Have replaced this with a 200ml but kept the smaller bottle to decant some into for my hols.

So the PP list now looks like this:-

[STRIKE]Tresemme shampoo[/STRIKE]
Tresemme conditioner
Elemis lime blossom balancing cleanser. Will need to repurchase this when it has gone
[STRIKE]LE 200ml C&P
Garnier Micellar water. Will probably purchase another soon as it's been on offer for £1 at Boots and Emma really likes this.
Aussie no rush shower gel
Philosophy pure grace shower gel
LE Brightening mask
Cutex nail polish remover. Will need to repurchase this when it has gone.
[/STRIKE]

On top of these I still have 3 items from last PP to UU being

[STRIKE]Champneys hand lotion[/STRIKE]
Molton Brown hand lotion
[STRIKE]Umbero Gianini dry shampoo[/STRIKE]

I also still have the Cargo blush and [STRIKE]Bobbi Brown eyeshadow [/STRIKE]on the go from my finish 4 by 4 July challenge and on top of this have two mascaras that I want to UU.
[/QUOTE]

So going well and 5 days of the month left. As mentioned I have already repurchased my cleanser which is still going strong and the pump is still working for now! I have had to put the Cargo blush away as I'm bored with it now. Pulled out my Nars mini pallette and have been using Outlaw and Orgasm this week instead. The two mascaras are still going strong too.

See you later ladies.
