    Hello ladies! I have a use up and a couple of ins to declare.

    I've finished the 12ml Organics Root Nourishing Shampoo sachet from my Project Pan list and have one more use from the matching conditioner. I have about three more of each in the stash though. The Clarins Gentle Foaming Cleanser, the White Company Hand and Body Lotion and a few other items are also spluttering.

    My ins were 99p each from a charity shop and I couldn't resist them: 30ml Hydraluron, 150ml Ren Rosa Centifolia Cleansing Gel and 150ml B.Pure Micellar Water. I was rather chuffed! :rotfl:
    Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.... :/

    UU #5 for the month from yesterday evening
    An Arbonne body cream/butter. Looking at the packaging I think it's 'ambitios'. Inherited about half a 198g tub from somewhere, and have been struggling to use as I'm not one for rubbing in 'lotions and potions' and wasn't that keen on the scent. Glad to see the back of it.

    I know I have some moisturing lotions in my stock, so will pull out one of those to put in the en-suite for when I remember to use. Think they're mostly unscented/minimal scent, which means that if I felt inclined (and had time) I can use before work (now working in the food industry again, so have to avoid heavily scented products before a shift)

    What fantastic finds Babafette! I have never found anything like that in a charity shop, and I always check the toiletries shelf.
    Another couple of UU Estee Lauder toner have another in the stash
    Miller Harris citron citron shower gel nice, but would only buy at a good price, nothing amazing
    Creightons Keratin Pro shampoo I wasn't thinking this would be much good, but it was, left my hair silky and not drying. I was using with the matching conditioner (still some left). But I haven't seen it for sale anywhere. I have no full size shampoos left! In fact I think I only have about 150ml of shampoo all in all (not counting my toddler's shampoo)

    These are not on the PP list either. really need to get down to that.

    And now to confess my INs - I ordered the heart beauty essentials box from Latest in Beauty. so that's 9 INs because I don't count hair bands.
    And another scented candle which was a present.

    Set the goal,at his beginning of the year to be down by another 50 items to where I am now by the end of the year, so got some pampering to do by Christmas!!!

    Hi all.

    I have some uu's

    Vichy Purete Thermale 3 in 1 one step cleanser 30ml - WMBA, this was really nice and did a good job but I did go through it very quickly as it is very thin and milky.

    Clinique Repairwear Laser Focus Eye Cream 5ml - this is the last of 4 pots of this and it is nice but I prefer All About Eyes. WNBA
    Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler


    Fashion on the Ration 28/66
  • A few more UU to report

    - Garnier soft essenials face wipes
    - L'occitane shea butter showergel (travel size)
    - Seaweed therapy energising body lotion (small bottle from hotel)
    - Clarins Eau ressourcante deodorant
    - Clarins Multi active jour (30ml GWP tube)
    - Clarins Mositure Rich Body Lotion (100ml GWP tube)

    I don't think I would buy any of these again.

    Wipes I have tended to only use for travel and they then dry out before I UU. It's not exactly hard to pack a little bottle of cleaner and some cotton wool instead so I will do that in the future - barring any freebie I pick up.

    The Clarins products were all nice, but I don't believe their stuff is that natural so I am going to avoid in the future.

    The L'Occitane shower gel might be a bit better on that front, but I need to do a bit more research on them - I am not sure their products are overly natural - though they do appear in the Green Beauty Bible, so they might be ok.

    The seaweed therapy I have never seen anywhere other than the hotel I got it.

    I also have some INs to report, got tempted by a very good GWP from REN. They do quite a few, and I held off till I had a couple of products where my only full size was in use so I don't feel too guilty.

    The full sizes I bought were the Glycolactic acid face mask which is my holy grail exfoliator and the Evercalm gentle cleansing gel, which is also a HG.

    I was a bit naughty as that wasn't quite enough to qualifying for the freebie, so I ordered a travel pack of products which they said was worth £38 but cost £20. I also then got the special offer set, and two free mini samples with the order. So in total the extra products I got were:-
    Free
    - A 5ml Glycolactic face mask
    - A 5ml Evercalm day cream

    Grab and go kit (£20 - which I think is great value even ignoring the fact it brought my order up to enough to get the free kit below)
    - 50ml Rose Centifolia Cleansing Gel
    - 15ml Vita Mineral Daily Supplement Cream
    - Full size vita mineral lip balm
    - 3 ml vita mineral eye gel
    - 50ml oat bay shampoo
    - 50ml Pro vitamin conditioner
    - 50ml neroli and grapefruit body wash
    - 50ml neroli and grapefruit body lotion

    Of these I have used most before and like and in particular the body wash and lotion is my absolute favourite. If I had to pick one scented wash/lotion to use forever, this would be it.The neroli is like a cuddle in a bottle (I did a short aromatherapy course and they described neroli as being like the "rescue remedy" of aromatherapy oils - very comforting in times of stress) and the grapefruit is a perfect zesty pick up in the morning.

    Free "make up artist recommends kit (they advertised as worth £55, the full size product in it alone is £32.
    - A full size Flash rise 1 minute facial (I have one of these on the go, it's good to use in between the glycolactic mask)
    - 25ml evercalm cleansing milk
    - 50ml rosa centrafloria miscellar water
    - 3ml vita mineral eye gel
    - 15ml T zone balancing gel cream.

    I am going away to Barcelona in a couple of weekends to celebrate my birthday with my boyfriend, so the neroli and grapefruit at the least is going to join me on that trip.
