    UU
    Nivea eye make up remover - wba - very gentle.
    Tesco baby wipes - everyday essential
    Lush so white - I like lush products, this one was ok, didn't really smell wintery but was nice enough.
    Skin wisdom youth protect eye treatment - wba - felt like it actually tightened a bit

    TA
    Boots hairspray- WBA - does what it says on the tin. Had to throw this away because I knocked it into the toilet - joys of being clumsy.

    In
    Johnsons Baby wipes. - everyday essential.

    Proberly more to come, I expect I've got "lost" stuff stashed away which I will come across, I think it's quite a collection for someone who never wore make up which explains why there's so much of it I suppose. I haven't included hair removal in the list such as razors, shaving gel, cream.
  • I've been so busy that haven't had a chance to check in. I hope everyone is doing well with their UU's.

    Here are my UU's so far (really tackling my lush stash):
    1. Lush - Ocean salt cleanser - wba
    2. Lush - Cup o coffee face mask - wmba
    3. Lush - pink fun - wmba
    4. Lush - green fun - wmba
    5. Lush - Breath of fresh air toner - wba
    6. Lush - fair trade honey shampoo - wba
    7. Lush - Dragons egg bath bomb - wba
    8. Lush - fizzbanger bath bomb - wba

    GA's:
    9. Illamasqua nail polish
    10. 40 perfume samples
    No buying toiletries challenge
    2015: 1348 UU's & GA's
    2016: 649
  • Another 2 UU today:

    TBS vitamin e nourishing night cream- WBA this lasted forever as a little really does go a long way, I used too much at first and ended up greasy but just a little was moisturising enough to leave my skin feeling soft and like velvet to the touch. It has a pleasant smell too. I've replaced it with the pink Garnier moisture match from my stash.

    Garnier fructis colour care shampoo- WBA my hair has felt a LOT softer since I started using this and it was a bargain in the pound shop. My hair seems to get on really well with this. I like the smell of it too. Definitely a re purchase when I run out of shampoos. Might try some of the other fructis ones when next in pound shop too. Replaced it with the Garnier ultimate blends honey that I've had in stash.

  • 3/5 finished on my PP and we're not even half way through the month. I've also uu'd another six tiny samples and little leftovers, and thrown away an eyebrow pencil that my gran bought me years ago - I feel guilty for not using it every time I see it, so why did I still have it in my life? She wouldn't care!

    [STRIKE]- Soap & Glory lime body scrub mini [/STRIKE]
    [STRIKE]- No 7 Sand eyeshadow, bought in 2007[/STRIKE] :j
    - Rimmel Stay Matte primer - I cut this open and there is TONS left :(
    [STRIKE]- Sanctuary Spa Heel Balm - nearly done [/STRIKE]
    - L'oreal extraordinary oil cream - just a scraping left!

    Look! I finished an eyeshadow!!!! I have been wearing this eyeshadow to work every day since April last year. How am I ever going to finish all the ones I have?

    Confession time: I have been lusting after the Guerlain Meteorites for months and since November have bought six other (bargain) highlighters as diversionary tactics. Yesterday (payday) I cracked and bought the Meteorites anyway (with a good discount code so could have been worse). Cross with myself! Better use and enjoy them when they come!

    To rdone, who ran out of shower gel . . . I am in awe. I have at least two years' supply.

    5 UU's today

    3. Tresemme shampoo 900ml. Enjoy using this and good value for money. Have another one on the go. This was one of those products where its nearly finished, but no one can be bothered attempting to get the last bit out as it was so huge.

    4. Loreal Creme Gloss conditioner. Love this and it was my last sample that I got with hair dye's. Even though my hair is shorter now I get alot of tangles etc. This was perfect in every way as it nourished and de stressed my hair.


    5. Makeup Gallery Pro Liquid Eyeliner in Black. Amazing quality, always getting compliments, last all day. I've been using it since August last year 6 days a week. I would really recommend it.

    6. Model Co Eyeliner Black. Loved this. Has product right down to the bottom. This also lasts all day and lasted me 7 months. Got it in a magazine which cost me £1. Not sure if its sold anymore but its on ebay for £14!

    and lastly my beloved...

    7. MUA LIP LAQUER in Dare. I CANNOT believe I've finished this I even took the stopper out. It has lasted me 7 months...but before I can buy it again I have 3 other lip Laquers in different colours. Still...a bit sad to see it go...

    I feel the same way about eyeshadow, it last for blooming ever.

    binbong - apparently the best thing for cleaning brushes is fairy liquid. I imagine it works really well on foundation brushes.
    Thanks, I haven't tried that. I tend to get on quite well with using shampoo. I had a Lush Rehab shampoo which felt like it completely stripped my hair so I've been using that. It leaves my brushes spotless!
