    Also 1 UU - Spa Rituals or something Candle - Well half of the wax were still inside the glass after the wick burnt out. Glad it was bought from a charity shop but WNBA.

    Hi Dizzy Imp,

    I find PETA are always quite up to date on their lists.

    http://www.mediapeta.com/peta/PDF/companiesdotest.pdf

    Above is their list of companies that do test and below is the companies who don't test on our furry friends.

    http://www.mediapeta.com/peta/PDF/companiesdonttest.pdf

    It's so upsetting that there's so many companies on that list. I'm pretty proud to say that the only one that has products in my house is Benefit and I am desperately UU.

    On the other hand, there are may more on the don't test list. I only buy Vegan and there's not many places to get it here so I struggle. I don't like to just order online as you never know what you'll get. If anyone ever finds anything good then let me know! I'm currently trying out all of the Superdrug B range.

    Some TAs
    No7 Stay Perfect Nail Polish - gone off
    Loreal Color Appeal Golden Shimmer Eye Shadow - tried to use this but it is just not good, looks very cakey
    Rimmel Glam Eyes Mascara - was open too long anyway and dried out now
    Seventeen Clear Definition Mascara - kept this with the hope that I'd UU but it just LHJ and just had enough


    UU - 10 ML Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Serum

    Ok, I finally have time to update on my haul (and some UU!)
    From Lush
    Bath melts:
    Melting marshmallow moment
    Floating island
    You've been mangoed
    Dreamtime
    Bath bombs:
    Butterball x 2
    Twilight
    Soaps:
    Sultana of soap
    Makeup:
    Jackie oates color supplement
    Eyes right

    I've only gotten bath bombs from them before so I'm going to experiment with the other products.
    From Sephora I got
    a loccitane mini travel size kit of almond items. It's in a little pink pouch. I also got the soko to tokyo sample set as I've been experimenting with my facial care *and loving the results so far, double cleansing is amazing*
    I also got a tub of Aquaphor but it was needed for my eczema, so it doesn't really count.

    Ooh, and I got a travel size trio from bath and body works (ugh, impulse buy).
    For UUs, I finished the Neutrogena triple moisture deep conditioning mask, wba if on sale, I haven't replaced it yet but wanting to give aussie 3 min miracle moist another try. It's much cheaper than others. Also used up a travel size St Ives apricot facial scrub, a travel size hada labo facial cleanser, and the matching travel size gel cream. I think I'm going to keep the gel cream container to decant my full size on trips. I have a mini vacation weekend after next so I plan to take all my travel size items and knock them out.

    Hello everyone :wave:

    No more IN's to report this month - resisting all temptation and avoiding most shops in the process! :)

    A few UU to declare!

    CATH KIDSTON HAND CREAM FLORA HYACINTH 45ML - WBA - 2 more to use though, I really like this handcream!

    CRABTREE & EVELYN SHOWER GEL LA SOURCE 50ML X 3 - WNBA - Boots Xmas sales items I bought this year / last year, can't say I am especially fond of the smell!

    DOVE SILK DRY ANTI-PERSPIRANT ROLL ON DEODORANT 50ML - TA - Suspect it had been in too long and gone off when I started to use it!

    EAU THERMALE AVÈNE SPRING WATER 150ML - WBA - Ideal size for travel, not as though I do much of that these days, still got a big can of this to use!

    IMPULSE INTO GLAMOUR 75ML - WNBA - Love this smell, but think I am getting to old for these kind of body sprays now, will stick with my more expensive perfumes!

    JACK WILLS HOPE COVE BODY MIST 250ML - WNBA - Was a sale bought bargain last Boots Xmas sale, not a fan of it and WNBA!

    SANCTUARY SPA INTENSIVE HEEL BALM 75ML - WBA - Possibly one of the longest products in my stash from the big SS Box Xmas 2013! WBA, really noticed a difference when using it, still lots of other foot things to use!

    SANEX DERMO INVISIBLE DEODORANT 150ML - WNBA - Prefer Dove products!

    SIMPLE KIND TO SKIN SMOOTHING FACE SCRUB 75ML - WBA - I like this, it suits my skin and WBA, only when current other stash of face products are used up!

    1.No 7 Protect&Perfect Day Cream
    2.The Body Shop Wild Cherry Shower Gel
    3.The Body Shop Wild Cherry Body Butter
    4.Neutrogena Blackhead Scrub
    5.Samples x 10

    3 UUs from the PP list. I liked the Wild Cherry shower gel and body butter. I'd buy again if I didn't have so many to use.

    Blackhead Scrub was sitting on the shelf for ages - just used it as shower gel too. WNBA.

  • Dizzy Imp - I was shocked just how many claim to not test then willingly sell in China knowing it will be tested on animals. I personally think that's worse than just testing, they are all so sneaky with the way they word their policies to make it sound like they care and clearly don't if they are willing to sell to a market they know will test. there's so many great brands out there that don't test and don't sell there I'm actually not sad to lose the ones that do.

    Rdone - *not enabling* but have you see the vegan kind beauty box? everything in it is vegan. I've loved everything in it so far!

    I'm another one that adores this scent! Love it! Dear FIL buys all female relatives cmas pressies from Crabtree & Evelyn, so it often shows up under the tree!
    No buying unnecessary toiletries 2014. Epiphany on 4/4/14 - went into shop to buy 2 items, walked out with 17!

    I have a candle uu

    Yankee Candle Large Jar - Pink Dragonfruit - WNBA, me and YC are over, too much soot, not enough scent (although this was reasonably scented) don't burn evenly and too much wax left when the wick has burned out.

    I think I've dumped YC too. My daughters knew I loved them so would often gift them too me on mother's day, bday, cmas etc.I have a whole collection. However the prices are getting ridiculous, so much is wasted and I hated to see my girls splash out so much. In the end I banned them from buying more. There are now plenty of other places making and selling perfectly nice scented candles that do burn all the way and I don't feel so cross about the waste.

    I have yes. I often sit and look at their website but I haven't caved yet! I get my Christmas savings from work next month so I may buy myself a present of a box out of it!
