2 more UUs for me today!

Body Shop Vitamin E Face scrub - this has been hanging around FOREVER so I'm happy it's finished! I didn't feel like it actually exfoliate my skin, so WNBA.

Osmo hair mask - another one that's been hanging around for a while, I can't remember where I got it from, but it wasn't too bad! If I can remember where I got it from I WMBA.

Just popping on to report that the Vaseline Spray and Go has now finally gone lol! Thought I would get through it yesterday but after triple application everywhere it was still spraying. Had enough today to coat my whole body and now it's gone. Shopped in my stash and pulled out a Beauticology Gingerbread Girl body lotion.

Also shopped in my stash for a primer and pulled out a mini tube of Bare Minerals Prime Time. On first application it felt very siliconey. Will see how my make up fares over the day.

I love that phrase 'shopped in my stash'! I'm going to start saying that and hopefully it will make me feel like I've bought new things when I haven't!

One UU from the PP list

Lanolips Apple Lip Balm - Won in a comp, had wanted to try Lanolips for a while but couldn't justify the price. I like the lip balms, seemed sticky at first but when it makes contact with the lips it goes smoother. Am onto the Lemonaid one now.

Everything else is holding on ...

CH1979 - Welcome. It seems like you have lots of ideas to use up your stash already, however there is no way you can convince me to put body butter on my face - my skin would throw a hissy fit.

I have a couple of uu's

L'oreal Pro Keratin Conditioner 100ml - nice enough but not worth seeking out. WNBA

John Frieda Frizz Ease Serum - I don't see much benefit from this but will see for sure now it's gone. You're supposed to use one drop on soaking wet hair but there is not way one drop will distribute through my hair when it is totally wet so I used it mixed in with my hair oil on towel dried hair.

I repainted my nails last night with Essie Spin The Bottle topped with Essie Pinking Of You - they look sooooooooo pretty. I love Essie polish.

UU Molten brown gift size shower gel
GA Touch of silver shampoo to a colleague who is struggling financially
UU imperial leather shower gel (mixed with the molten brown)
TA body puff as it's very old

Dolly84 I have sensitive skin so Yep I know what you mean. I trial by 1st putting a tiny bit on an inconspicuous area that flares up and see if it's itchy or sore. My favourite alternative is cold cream or Nivea cream though.

Just googled these colours and I agree they must look beautiful!

another UU
Kiehls Argan Hair Pak - lasted such a long time but WNBA. It gives the same results as some of the cheaper masks I've used so its definitely not worth the money shame because I loved the smell of this!

I've only used 2 brands of diffuser: Yankee Candle and Sainsburys. The YC one lasted longer. Yankee Doodle have some on offer at £9.99 at the mo. I have just opened a Wax Lyrical one today that was reduced at our local garden centre but before Christmas.

Can I hijack your idea? Really stuck for good TV to watch cos everything I enjoy is on a break. Last TV I really enjoyed was Sons of Anarchy so looking for something gritty. TIA folks.

Yankee candle is a good shout – there’s a shop near me, so I can go in and check out the various scents before committing. I'm a bit picky

I've never found a reed diffuser yet that gives a good throw. They all smell nice for the first day and then you can never smell them again.

If you don't like candies what about a wax melter? Mum bought an electric plug in one from glade from Tesco half price last week and it smells really nice the throw is great and it's safer than a candle as no flame. And you can switch it on and off as you like. It is this one:http://www.airwick.co.uk/our-products/wax-melts/wax-melts-starter-kits/air-wick-wax-melts-starter-kit-summer-delights/ although I think it was £3.50 in store. And it smells really lovely. I've bought one too as its so good.

Eta sorry air wick not glade.

Oooh, I hadn't seen those wax melt things before, I’ll check them out. Is there any risk if I forget to turn it off though?

As a temporary fix I bought a cheap one with a nice smell at Aldi the other day while I was passing through, and decanted some of it into an old one so I could have one at either end of my kitchen/lounge area. That scent is now right through into the entrance hall and closest bedroom! Impressive performance.

I liked Sons of Anarchy too and I recently binge watched both series of Peaky Blinders. I loved it so much and can't wait for series 3. Currently watching Scandal off of Sky boxsets. Its by the same woman as Greys Anatomy but set in Washington DC political scene/ the White House. Lots of cliffhangers!

Sons of Anarchy is great! I'm way behind so have loads to catch up on. Peaky Blinders is definitely on my watch list too. What about Walking Dead if you haven’t seen that yet? Really good. And I'm just getting into 'The Man in the High Castle' which looks very promising – that’s on Amazon TV though.
