  • Hi ladies,

    Three UU for me over the last few days:
    Revlon lip butter in peach parfait. WIBA? This is a lovely soft lip colour, I liked it, I might look at the other colours in the range after I've used some more lip products up.
    Lady Gaga Fame perfume 30ml. This is one of my favourites, so I will buy again at some point.
    La Roche Posay effaclar duo + 3ml. Lots more in stock for the time being!

    One completely unnecessary IN:
    Original source limited edition cherry and nettle shower gel 250ml. Totally not needed, but I'm a stickler for anything cherry :(

    Have a great day ladies!

    There was another UU for me report:-

    Yes to Grapefruit facial wipes. Love these. I only use wipes though when I'm away or have had a night out and can't be bothered to fully cleanse. Had our Christmas party at work yesterday so used these last night. Have 2 more packs in my stash.
    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!

  • 1 GA and 1 UU to report...

    Don't think I remembered to put that I GA a tube of Alice + Eliza sugar plum hand cream to a friend last month who had run out.

    1 UU this evening:

    Montagne jeunesse Virgin Olive ultra deep cleansing mask - WBA although got another in stash. This had a pleasant scent, didn't make my eyes sting (which a lot of masks seem to do) and my skin feels nice and clean now and not greasy.

    A couple more UUs. If I can get five more by the end of the month I will achieve my goal of ten.

    4) Philosophy Christmas Cookie shower gel - this is lovely, but I would only buy it on sale.
    5) Britney Spears Wonderstruck perfume - threw it away unfinished as it is horrible. I have a feeling I bought this for a few pounds in a clearance basket. Big mistake!

    I have been trying to UU a Balance Me Super Moisturising Hand Cream for ages but I had enough of it now. I cut the tube and used most of it but it is too thick and the scent is too strong. I will just TA the rest.

    A few more UUs, I'm pleased with my progress this month :) (which will of course mean nothing goes anywhere in January!)

    - Argan+ deep repair conditioner, 100ml. WNBA. Just ok.
    - Lacura face treatment oil. WBA. Good value for money, sinks into skin well. Have lots of other various oils to get through first though.
    - John Frieda go blonder Lightening shampoo. WBA, lasts well, lathers well, keeps my hair looking bright :)
    - Dr Haushka regenerating face cream. WNBA. Awful smell, couldn't bear it.
    - Delarom Acquaconfort cream 15ml. Nothing exciting, WNB - thankfully it was a freebie.
    - Heaven cell renewal hydrogel. WNB A freebie from my mum, the second one of these. Didn't like either, used it up on my arms, does nothing!
    - Dove summer glow body lotion. WBA. Generally on offer, and good value. Sinks in well, and given I'm irish/pasty and blonde, the hint of colour is quite useful :)

    1 TA - really old and smells awful, definitely gone off!
    - Transformulas FaceControl & Lightening Creme
