    I have earmarked the OPI mini to be UUed this month which is I'm Not Really a Waitress. It actually looks like I have 2 X minis of this one and a full sized.

    Thank you Dolly84 for starting us off again.

    Target for me this month is 50 UU's and to not buy much. I say I don't need anything but will always find something I want. I will try to only make 1 lush order this month.

    I hope 50 is a typo! Or are you planning on having 1000 baths this month!

    2 UU good start to the month:

    M&S Shea hand butter 50ml- Wnba because this smelled horrible even though when opened it was in date. It smelled plasticky and horrible. I've had 2 M&S body butters that smelled off like this too. :-/ it was ok for moisturising really dry skin but the scent put me off. In the end I used it up on my feet instead.

    Charlie pink body spray- WBA but don't need to as got a load of sprays in stash. I like this scent.

    1 GA also, lush rub rub rub scrub 130g I am a kind sister and my brother wanted it so I let him have it as it amused me somewhat. He borrowed my bigger pot in the shower today and commented that it was a lovely face scrub. I did explain its not really a face scrub as such it's more for your body and it's a bit perfumed for the face ( and a bit girly scented generally) but he says he rather likes the smell of it and his face has never felt softer :rotfl: so whatever makes him happy I personally don't use it on my face. i have told him I will get him some bits from lush for his birthday they must do bits for men :rotfl:.

    So I repainted my nails (both hands and feet) last night with I'm Nit Really a Waitress. Did TA one of the minis as hardly any product was getting onto my brush. Think I'll have to stop buying these as I'm finding they can't be fully used up. With the Bubble Bath one I was storing it upside down in the hope that all the product would land on the brush but it seems there is a certain amount that clings to the bottle.
