    UU

    19. Nice and Easy Conditioner. Not sure where all these sample sachets are coming from....I hope that was the last one.
  • UU – Lush Snow Angel bath melt.

    I've just been accepted to test a shampoo and conditioner, so there will be two more INs soon. Like I said before, I just can't turn down a freebie!
    No more goo hoarding!

  • Another couple of UUs
    Another lippy, I've just scraped the last out of with a brush so packing tube binned and a bottle of Angel shower gel used I have another one of these in the stash it was a gwp years ago and I'd been saving it for best and when I got this one out to use the bottle cracked all down one side as it had gone so brittle. Luckily I noticed so have had it lying on the good side so I could use it up with minimal waste. I'll get the other out soon to use before that dies in storage.

    Two UUs

    Crabtree and Evelyn Caribbean Island Wild Flowers hand cream - one from my Christmas INs. Nice scent, different, but no need to buy more hand cream ... got about 8 more in the stash, all from Christmas! :D

    Claudia First Base lip balm (from M&S) - another Christmas IN. Loved this, doesn't smell of much but when it goes on the lips it smells and tastes really minty. Nice consistency, not too sticky. Don't think I've managed to UU a lip balm pot before!

    Another UU : Absolution eye makeup remover. Was very lovely product but don't think I'd spend so much on this. Have a Darphin one to pull from my stash and then will need to purchase an eye makeup remover.
    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!

  • Catherine/ Kate thank you for reminding me about the meteorites- I left the contouring pallet down and returned to them (I heard that contouring was aging and I agree totally). I was so happy with the result. I forgot how much I adore this product.
    Half of the six before spring are used. Of the three remaining products- slow progress is being made. I am wondering if they will be finished by spring 2017!
    Small goals before the end of the month or Easter are use up Trilogy moisturizer- there is a quarter of the jar left. It is fine no issues- does what it says on the tin.
    Urban decay eye primer- I’m not sure how great it is as I like a more sheer eye make-up appearance.
    The gold eyeshadow is hard to wear in the daytime as it’s a bit of a disco colour- I’m trying to tone it down by using a white base or bootycall from the naked palette. (I have the palette for 8 months and only a dip in 2 shadows- I use it constantly)
    Finished an impulse spray and shampoo. WNBA.
    Scarily, I’m already half way through the micellar water- I go through 400ml garniers like a hot knife through butter. I adore it.

    Just 1 UU tonight - a Superdrug cheap version of the Biore nose strips. I really rate the Biore ones, this Superdrug one was disappointing so WDNBA. Left a weird film on my nose, and didn't even really do the job.

    Couple of sachets UU at swimming tonight, not big Uu's but better than nothing. Out rather than in :)

    Avon avocado & almond shampoo sachet- WBA as full size (already in stash though) glad I have as liked the smell and it did an ok job. Look forward to using full size.

    (Unknown brand) face wash/scrub sachet- can't buy as don't know what this was it didn't say the brand on it, originally I pulled it off a magazine page that had the advertisement on :( WBA if knew as this had a nice fruity smell quite liked it.

    Eta sundaysgirl - you probably already have something, but if not have you tried a protectacast cover for your arm? I've used the leg ones successfully many times in the past as I'm forever having ops/dressings/casts and I really rate them. They are great if you can't get a limb wet or if it is uncomfortable to get a limb wet. Mine have never leaked and you can go swimming or bath with them and they stay water tight so no worry of wounds getting wet or anything on them that could cause infection. I love mine, as I can't stand not getting a shower everyday. The other thing that might be useful to you is there are some really good completely waterproof dressings out there, I was given some by hospital after spinal surgery for my first showers to keep my scar clean and dry as I think they have to be kept as dry as possible while they heal fully, especially if it's irritating them. Think it was the tegaderm ones I was given. Dr may be able to prescribe them for you.

    UU

    The Body Shop Frosted Cranberry Body Butter 200ml - This wasn't actually on my list of things to use up - just been using it in the mornings as I really love the smell and consistency. The smell lingered for at least a couple of hours after I applied it. This is a definite HG product for me. WDBA.
    Burt's Bees Coconut Foot Cream 20g - I got this as part of a gift set. I thought this cream was absolutely lovely on my feet and I would definitely get it full size. WDBA.

    UU's
    42) dolls mixture shower gel in rhubarb and custard WMBA I liked the scent of this but am happy to finally ( I think ) to have used them all up.

    43) playdoze bubble bar WNBA I used to really like this many years ago but it did not seem the same this time round. Have 4 more to use.

    44) something kisses bubble bar WNBA had this bubble bar for years and it smells too much of cinnamon for me.

    45) shoot for the stars bath bomb WBA a favourite.

    I have been very naughty and ordered lots of sheet masks. It seems to be my new favourite things to buy. I did resist ordering from lush as I wanted something else more which in theory will be released in the kitchen at some point. I do realise that I don't need as much stuff as I have and some areas I have improved but there is still so much first her to go.
