Herbal essences seriously smooth conditioner - WBA this is a favourite of mine. The scent is cinnamon, ginger and banana and it smells lovely. Herbal essences seems to make my hair feel nice and soft too.

Hi everyone. First 2 more UUS, 2 TAs and then will list my INs:-

UUs:-
15ml tube of Elemis Pro-Collagen Marine Cream. HG product. More in stash.

Sachet of Philosophy Wonder Cream. Unlike previous Philosophy skincare I have tried this did not have an offensive smell. WDNB as I prefer PCMC.

TA:-
Essie Sable Collar. Picked this up on a Boots Clearance shelf some years ago and have never really loved the colour. Decided to ditch it.

OPI Skyfall. Was practically empty. Have a back up bottle so decided to ditch this also.

So INs:-
Firstly the gifts:-
Wax Lyrical Wild Berries candle
LE Eucalyptus & Rosemary candle
Glade electric warmer with Apple & Cinnamon wax tarts
Benefit Dallas powder
Benefit Dandelion powder
Benefit Easiest Nudes Ever Kit. Have used RSVP already and it's gorgeous. Am thinking I will repurchase in time.
Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Eternal Gold. Have used this today and this too is lovely and worthy of repurchase.
Maybelline Colour Drama lipstick in Berry Much.
The Orange Tree set of Orange Blossom & Neroli 50ml tubs of body lotion, bath soak, hand lotion and body scrub.
Elemis Marine Dream kit containing 106g Pro-Collagen Cleansing Balm, 10ml Pro-Radiance Illuminating Eye Balm, 100ml Pro-Collagen Marine Cream, 100ml Pro-Collagen Oxygenating Night Cream, 2 sachets of Hydra Gel eye masks
M&S Natures Ingredients Cocoa Butter hand wash and hand lotion
Lush Christingle 225g tub
L'Occitane kit containing 4 x 8ml pots of Pivoine Sublime, Light Comforting Cream, Precious Cream & Devine Cream
15ml Nuxe Moisturising cream
Chanel lipgloss no 447

Today I went to the Trafford Centre however it was horrendous and we didn't stay long. Bought :-

2 x Elemis Lime Blossom Cleanser. I needed a replacement and hung on until Christmas in case I was gifted a bottle. Anyway Debenhams has a GWP on any 2 products purchased so I bought 2 of them and got a bag containing 15ml Oxygenating night cream, 15ml Gentle Rose Exfoliator, 30ml Pro-Radiance Cleanser, 50ml Frangipani body lotion and 4ml Pro-Radiance Illuminating eye balm. I was given a Debenhams gift card to the value of £35 so I only spent £10.

Yankee Candle Fireside Treats medium candle - half price at Clintons. Bought some individual Christmas cards and tissue paper at half price too.

Went into Boots but it was mobbed and uncomfortable so left.

Emma was working this afternoon so called into the Boots on the retail park she works on and got:-

Yankee Candle large Sparkling Snow candle at half price
Cotton Wool pads x2 packs
Shower puff
Boots Baby shampoo.

The last three were necessary. Got the baby shampoo to wash all my make up brushes.

I had intended getting a Real Techniques sponge but they had none. Liking the Tarte foundation but think I'm applying too much with the brush. Will look for one of these again.

Called into Sainsburys and also picked up some Venus razor blades (needed) and 2 x 200ml Mandara Spa body butters (Ylang Ylang and coconut and Mango and Coconut). Were reduced to £3.50 each.

No intention to buy anything else. Have decided though that 2016 will be the year that I get ruthless with UUing TAing lip and nail products.

A few ins from Christmas, and sales today. Wanted lush snow fairy as I can't afford it normally as can't justify the price for a shower gel and they had none left in store, and the website is down although I suspect it was out of stock anyway. Gutted :-( last years sales were much better. I'm now waiting for the bomb cosmetics sale to stock up on bath blasters for the year. body shop sale is a bit meh this year I thought. The sales earlier in the year where the butters went down to silly prices like 3 quid ish were a lot better.

Anyway, some ins:

Ghost perfume and body lotion
Boots extracts: spiced apple body wash, body lotion, body scrub. Satsuma body wash, body. Lotion, body scrub.
Soap and glory hand wash and hand lotion (which came with a reed diffuser)
Joules body butter, body lotion, body wash
Soap and glory clean on me shower gel, hand food, righteous butter

One UU

Le Couvent Des Minimes Rose and Berries Hand Cream - came in a LIB box, quite nice, sweet scent and sunk in well. I got a lot of hand creams for Xmas though so WNB ... I'll have to list the INs later :)

I looked at the Lush website earlier and it was conked out, just looked again and they're now doing a queuing system. I'm number 131439 and there are 11427 in front of me :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :eek:
Think I'll ditch the Lush sale!

MrsRogers

You have all inspired me to do a stock take ready for Jan. Stash is out of control.

Currently restraining myself from buying more in the sales!

Whoa :O Okay so go easy on me please! (it's way more than I actually ever imagined when I went back to make a list of it all). It turns out I've acquired 58 individual items in the past month. I'm off to make a list of my PP for the next month or so. *shocked face*

lucia22

I have a box now full of products for PP for the next month or so (I assume this will go in a new thread so I won't list here). Tomorrow I'm going to go through my handbags and make sure I have products in there to use up.
