    Last UU for September, Clarins Beauty Flash Balm 15 ml. Loving this.
    I have more in stash. See you in October!
    ally.
  • My last UU for Sept and one from the PP: terra green hotel moisturiser
    So that's two items left on the PP which I will take over to October.
  • Last UU for September...

    Simple light moisturiser mini - Wnba about time I was getting sick of this. Can't get any more out so chucked it. It's too watery and 'wet' feeling for my liking. I haven't reacted to it though, and I guess it has dove an ok job. Replaced with a body shop vitamin c one for now. I do have another stashed and it's a big one but I doubt I'll buy any more if this but might try the other simple ones at some point that have a thicker formulation.

    Body shop jolly orange body butter 200ml- WBA although I *think* it's discontinued now. I really like the scent and it was a lovely thick consistency. Did a brilliant job. The tub didn't last me long as I slather it on. Doesn't matter as I have tons of 200ml tubs in various scents to UU :eek:

  • Life is a bit mad presently but updating here with a Sept PP list...

    [STRIKE]#1 Garnier Fructis shampoo [/STRIKE](Actually DD's, but like many young ladies she seems convinced the last 1/2 doesn't work!)
    #2[STRIKE] Various bits of soap[/STRIKE] (french market, dove shea butter, Lush something or other, lost packaging)
    #3 Naked 'rose with no clothes' shimmering body cream
    # 4 [STRIKE]Garnier vital restore night cream[/STRIKE]
    #5 [STRIKE]Superdrug natural high day cream[/STRIKE]
    #6 Essence pure mineral powder foundation
    #
    7 IsaDora high wear defining mascara
    #8 [STRIKE]Paco Rabanne Black XS[/STRIKE]

    5/8 hmmmm must try harder.

    So glad the Paco Rabanne Black XS is done. It was a gift - but the scent wasn't really me.

    I don't think I will move the Naked shimmering body cream on Oct PP list - with autumn - a lot less skin is on display so I may save it to finish off next summer.
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!


  • Final PP

    Not far off UU everything I wanted to, have UU quite a few more not on the list, and only INs for the month were ones I was happy to add (i.e. should get used soon), this thread is definitely helping me focus.:)

    [STRIKE]- REN Rosa Centiflora 3 in 1 cleansing water[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]- Weleda Relaxing Body Oil
    - This Works perfect heels rescue balm
    - Jergens skin firming body lotion
    - Clarins Multi Active Jour Day Cream [/STRIKE]
    - Dr Organic Snail Gel Hand and Nail Elixir
    [STRIKE]- Anatomicals wake up hair and body wash
    - Aromatherapy Associates Renewing Rose Cleanser[/STRIKE]
    - Clarins Eye Contour Balm
    - Balm Balm frankincense light facial oil
    [STRIKE]- Soft and Gentle wild rose and vanilla antiperspirant[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]- Mio Boob tube[/STRIKE]
    - Mio workout wonder
    [STRIKE]- Clinique moisture surge overnight mask[/STRIKE]
    - Antipodes Ananda toner
    [STRIKE]- Aurelia face scrub
    - Neals Yard hair wash (it's their base with some oils I've added)[/STRIKE]

    Also today UU

    - a travel size L'Occitane shea butter body lotion - which I MBA - it does the job and doesn't have a strong scent so would go with my perfumes. Got at least a year or two worth of stock of body butter and lotion to work through before I need to go shopping.

    - an unidentified face cream - the label came off the bottle and it was from a beauty box rather than something I'd bought so I've no idea what it was. Fortunately it didn't feel like a HG so I am not cursing myself for not knowing what it was!

    Thanks to all for birthday wishes and new job congrats, see you all on next month's thread x
