    hello
    2 more UUs sneaking at the end of the month - not sure there will be any more, but think it's 39 this month so quite pleased.

    39 this month?! I can barely manage 3!

    I have my last uu for the month:

    Alpha H Liquid Gold Anti Aging Cleanser 100ml - I didn't like this, it smelt dreadful, it was runny and it stung my eyes, I don't like this brand at all as I think anything that makes your skin sensitive to the sun is a bad thing. WNBA.

    I forgot another uu from yesterday

    Beautannia Bloomsbury Bath Oil 200ml - WNBA, this was too strongly scented for me, it smelt like Cabotine perfume. It did make the water nice though.

    OK I have 4 UUS and also some INs (yes, have fallen at the last hurdle).

    UUs first:-

    Lush Snowman shower jelly. I found this under the bathroom basin. Emma didn't think she would use it so I chucked it into my bath. Was horrible. Like bathing with a poached egg! WNBA. In fairness I think it came in a kit we got Emma last Christmas. Another pot to recycle though.

    L'Occitane Jasmine & Bergamot body lotion. This was the full sized lotion that I intended to UU as part of the PP Roulette. Have two others on the go so am hopeful of finishing one of them before Christmas in it's place.

    Cutex Nail Polish Remover (the Nourishing one) HG product. WBA. Using up an acetone one though that I recently bought to remove Shellac.

    TA: Laura Geller eyeshadow - Moonstone and Amethyst. Just was not reaching for this at all. Tried it again recently and the colours are too dark for me.

    So INs: Basically I decided I may go and get the Ciate advent calender I saw last week. Went into TKMAXX. The price of it had gone up so decided against it (yay me) however they had some OPI on the same stand and I couldn't resist. Bought a set of 2 x Starlight colours (this year's Holiday colours) - Love is on the Cards (red) and Celestial is More (gold glitter liquid sand texture). Came on a card with some tattoos. Was reduced to £12.99 so figured I was getting 2 bottles for the price of 1. Am going to give the red one away to a friend for Christmas. Am wearing the Celestial one today on top of the Press Star for Silver and it is gorgeous. Maybe a little blingy for work but who cares?

    I also got a bottle of OPI Champagne Toast ? for my Secret Santa £3.99 bargain.

    Also bought a bar of Candy Cane soap which smelt like the old Yankee Candle Jack Frost fragrance together with a pack of Yes to Carrots wipes.

    Not bad for INs I suppose as two will be gifts for other people and I like the Yes To wipes anyway.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Last 2 UU for November

    7g Nailtiques Cuticle & Skin Gel WBA, have 1 more in stock

    40ml Jo Hansford Intensive mask (somehow didn't include on PP list), worked fine, but my hair is in good conditin generally so pretty much any mask will do as a change from PK Elasticiser.

    12/160. Clinique DD Moisturising Lotion 30ml - GWP, WNB as the gel is better suited to my skin type.

    I also painted my nails with Ciate Members Only. Have Ciate base coat and on top Essie GelSetter. Not my sort of color but still nice.

    Also one last UU - I Love.. Raspberry & Blackberry Liquid Soap.
    See you in December.

    A few UUs

    One from the PP list: Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser - WBA, probably the best value, no-nasties, moisturiser I have found. Usually stops me going shiny.

    Nivea 3-in-1 Exfoliating Wipes - not sure about these. Can't see that they are very exfoliating unless you wear heavy make-up. Also didn't like the scent. WNBA

    Chloe 30ml eau de parfum - Was a Christmas gift and I really like it. Have got the green one (?) to UU.

    PP List looks like this:
    [STRIKE]Garnier Intensive 7 days body lotion[/STRIKE]
    Dove Straightening Serum
    [STRIKE]Good Things Miracle Mattifier Moisturiser[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Crabtree and Evelyn Tarroco Orange hand cream[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Maybelline Babylips lip balm[/STRIKE]
    Hurraw Mint lip balm
    Original Source Pineapple shower gel - only a teeny bit left
    [STRIKE]Imperial Leather Guava shower gel[/STRIKE]
    Leo Bancroft shine spray
    [STRIKE]Pantene Youth Protect conditioner[/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]Clairol shampoo[/STRIKE]

    Painted my nails with Nails Inc Hyde Park Place last night. Really sold on these gels because I'm hopeless at putting on regular varnish and these just glide on!
