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!
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?

That's a really nice offer - I have a ton of Christmas tarts in my candle stash to get through before I buy anything new - thanks very much though.

I have a uu

Philip Kingsley Body Building Shampoo 500ml - WBA but have a ton of other shampoo to use first. The only annoying thing about this is it stops pumping when there is loads left so I have to balance it upside down then try to take out the pump and pour some into my hand.

Thanks for the welcomes

Right my PP list for August is as follows;

1. No7 Naturally kissed body moisturiser (I have about 5 open moisturisers and this one has the least in it!!)
2. No7 total body renewal scrub.
3. No7 essential night cream (sample tub almost finished)
4. No7 time resisting day cream
5. No7 Naturally kissed moisturiser face x 2
6. No7 protect and perfect lipcare
7. No7 radiance revealed exfoliator
8. Nails inc. avocado oil for nails
9. No7 revitaliser hand saviour
10. Sanctury foaming bath
11. James Brown Gloriously rich Moisturising shampoo (1 wash left I think)
12. No5 hot oil treatments for hair
13. No7 stay perfect Cappuchino eye shadow trio set
14. No7 smoothing eye base
15. No7 stay perfect foundation Soft Rose (a bit dark for my skin normally but will use up in the summer as my face is slightly tanned so not so noticeable).

may not get through all this this month as some things like the elvive shampoo have just been started but at least this will focus me to use these before opening anything else. Is it bad that even when I use this lot up most of them have open counterparts that I have to use up next .

It would be nice to have just a few things on my dressing table and in my bathroom that I am actually using instead of the tonnes of ones that I am not.

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.

Thanks for posting dolly. I didn't know Hawaiian Tropic made a body butter. I am useless at applying after sun however would be more likely to use a butter. It looks like it is £5 at ASDA at the mo.

How do you remove your burnt tarts? I put my burner in the freezer and they then slide off.

Welcome Maisie May.

Have a UU at last : 200ml C&P. HGS product have new 150ml to open.

I have repainted my nails and am wearing OPI My Address is Hollywood with Snow Globetrotter on top. Really loving the Gwen Stefani glitter top coats.

Morning all
A UU bottle of simple toner, not sure I'll bother with toner again, it didn't seem to do anything.

I have some ins to report - I cancelled a beauty box subscription part way through last month and the final box arrived today:-

- John Masters geranium and grapefruit body milk 30ml - this smells divine :-)
- John Masters lip calm full size - got a lot of open lip balms so will tuck this away and not open till the others are UU
- Balm balm - frankincense light facial oil 10ml - am low on serum so this might get used soonish.
- Ren - keep young and beautiful firming shot 10ml - didn't get on that well with this last time - but will give another try at some point.
- Lovea pink clay purifying face mask - full size/75ml. I won't open this for a while yet as I have other clay masks to UU first - tend to only use on my nose and chin too as the rest of my face is more dry than anything else.

I think this beauty box is decent value for money (£12.50 including postage) but I will stick to my guns and not re-subscribe till my stash is well under control... reckon that will be a couple of years yet given the backlog.:eek:

Well done on unsubscribing indiepanda, I love the idea of beauty boxes but have never ordered one as I know it would be a terrible path for me to go down!! Maybe one day once my stash is more under control...

dolly I love the HT after sun body butter, it is holiday personified for me :-) I have one stashed, along with some others, and think it is my HG.

Slow going this month as I'm mainly using new-ish full sizes but I have a UU:

8/121. Sanctuary body butter 100ml - love this and WDBA, absorbs well and smells divine. I have replaced with the final one left from the original haul of trios purchased last Spring - I bought 39 :eek: so can't believe this day has finally arrived, but I have loved using them and not sickened at all - that must surely be a HG item!!

Ooh, I'm so excited, the sellers of the lovely facial spray have offered me a steam mop! I gave mine away as the person I gave it to needed it more than me (he has four cats). I was speculating on buying one at Aldi that was reduced to £19. No need to now.

I've also accepted this stuff directly from Amazon - L'Oreal Garnier Intensive Hand Cream
I got offered several L'Oreal products - all stuff I don't use apart from the above, sod's law! Suntan milk, cleansing milk and eye make up remover.

VALM - I freeze the dish from one of my tart warmers, it is a fluted thing and I have to leave it ages to get the wax out. I have another all in one tart warmer though (like an oil burner) it is glass and a sort of crackle glaze and I'm worried about putting it in the freezer.

I have taken the kids out today to a lovely little town we visit quite regularly, there is a Yorkshire Soap Co there and lots of other shops selling lovely soaps etc, I resisted them all.
