    Hi ladies.

    I have a uu

    Hawaiian Tropic After Sun Body Butter 200ml - this was the exotic coconut one and it is gorgeous. WBA and already have others in the stash, would only buy half price though as there is no way it is worth £10.

    Also uu

    Yankee Candle Sampler - Baby Powder - WNBA
    Yankee Candle Sampler - Ocean Blossom - this is my favourite of their scents but it is discontinued now.
    Yankee Candle Medium Tumbler - True Rose - WNBA no scent throw at all.

    I just have one YC large jar and some wax tarts left now, I like the tarts and will buy more of those (I don't like getting them out of the warmer though). I do have a ton of other candles though.

    A couple of UU to report - need to do a bit of pampering today to make more inroads into my PP.

    - Ren Hydracalm day cream (generous sample size)

    WBA - this goes nicely with the hydracalm serum I have been using, nice texture and does seem to help the redness in my cheeks a bit.

    - No7 radiance revealed exfoliator (sample size)

    I wouldn't buy a full size of this, prefer to use enzyme based exfoliators as the ones with beads/grit in can make the redness in my face worse. I've tried a few (and still have a few different ones to UU) and my HG is the REN Glycolactic radiance renewal mask.

    Am on a roll today

    - One UU I forgot to report from July - Dove grapefruit and lemongrass deodorant - I've got some soft and gentle deodorants I bought on special offer to UU but I expect I WBA at some point - I like citrussy scents and the antiperspirant deodorant does the job.

    - Phillip Kingsley - exfoliating scalp mask. Probably WNBA - it's quite expensive and I am not convinced it really improved my scalp much (I get quite dry flaky patches).

    - Aromatherapy associates hydrating rose face mask (15ml sample). I got this free with a magazine. It smells divine and the gel texture is nice and my face felt soft after use, but not sure how much of that was due to the exfoliator I used first. WMBA - I have a few masks in my stash to UU and will see how I get on with them - this is really expensive so if I can find something equally effective that is cheaper I will go with that instead.

    I have another uu

    Clinique Custom Repair Serum 1.5ml sachet - love this and just have 3 more of these sachets to use up then I may have to purchase a full size.

    Repainted my nails in Nails Inc Porchester Square - one of my all time favourite polishes.

    I have been attempting to tidy my bathroom and targeted a few things, so a nice burst of UU's and GA's at last.
    GA
    No. 7 Eye palette – too glittery
    Sleek Eye palette – great colours but texture wrong on my very mature skin.
    IN
    Imperial Leather handwash for shower room.
    UU
    960ml Zoya NP remover, wba (bought on a great deal so probably won’t be able to repeat this)
    100ml Merumaya Cleansing Balm, WNBA sadly as I love it but it flares dermatitis on face.
    30ml Hotel shower gel brought it home to finish, hate waste.
    30ml Hotel body lotion, as above.
    30ml Bronley body lotion (from a set)
    30ml Molton Brown hand lotion (from a set)

    Nails painted Zoya Pixie Dust NYX (grey/blue glitter) must try to do toes later.

    Welcome to the thread Maisie M and welcome back Sundaysgirl and rdone.

    I've nearly finished my current Korres shower gel but still have no use ups to declare at the moment. I did manage a trip into town earlier while waiting for poor hubby to see the dentist and I didn't make any purchases despite visiting Boots, Superdrug, Poundland and Savers! :D

    I think I may have seen some of these reduced at my local garden centre recently. Would you like me to check and get you some when I next go?
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    UU's:
    1 Batiste dry shampoo (tropical version)
    2 Lush bubble bar - gold sparkly one
    3. Body scrub that smelled like caramel

    More Outs:
    4. Mac lipstick
    5. P&J foundation
    6. 3x perfume samples

    I also have started to de-stash my clothes as well. Anything that isn't good quality is going to charity so was happy to have gotten rid of 3 items of clothing and 1 bag.
