Wow! Some lists ..... I'm lucky to own shower gel, toothpaste and mouthwash .... makes me think that my user name should have been 'smelly' ....

Thank you for starting us off again Maddiemay.

I only focus on UUs as I will always have INs ( which I am trying not to have too many)

January total was 75
February total was 62

This month my target is to use up 55 products ( I do use up a lot of single use items which makes my total high). Broken down it looks something like:
15-20 sheet masks
10 bath bombs
4 bubble bars
7 skincare items ( have quite a few with only a few uses in them including 4 serum/ treatments, a face cream, toner, face wash and a couple of 5 ml samples)
4 haircare products
2 scrubs
3 body lotion type products ( 2 nearly finished)
1-2 dry shampoo
1 perfume
4-5 shower gels/ jellies/ bubble bath ( this month focus is on using up jellies, have 4 in bathroom. Which I won't finish all but focus on these)
1 soap maybe 2

Oh and 2 UUs today - 1 x Biore nose strip and 1 x Biore face strip

Another UU : sachet of L'Occitane Divine oil. This is lovely.

Two UUs this morning:

Sanctuary Shower Gel 75ml: Used to love this but I've gone off the scent now.

S&G Vitamin C Facial Wash 30ml: This was nice enough and didn't dry my skin out like last time.

Another UU. When I finished my Avoplex oil and threw away the LE Superbalm I thought I had a tin of Burts Bees hand salve left however it was a Lush Charity pot filled with hand cream. I have UUed this up. Don't know what type of hand cream it was as the label had pretty much come off. Anyway it was really greasy and I'm glad it's UU.

I don't have anything designated as cuticle care however I have decanted some Elemis Evening Blooms oil into an empty Clinique eye cream jar and am using this. I put it in the freezer to set on Sunday night though and it is still not set.

Whilst applying my make up this morning I noticed I have hit pan (the size of a pin !!!!!) in my Benefit Lemon Aid. Not concerned that I'll have to buy this in March as this product lasts ages even when there is only product around the rim of the pot.

Thanks for the new thread Maddiemay!
I'm back again this month. Thinking about doing a PP this month. I haven't before but I've got a few things in mind I want to get finished. I will have to think further!

Couple of little UUs last night.
1. Mini Vichy Purete Thermale Cleansing Milk. WMBA. This was from a beauty box. It was fine. Didn't sting my eyes, got makeup off.
2. Mini Clinique Moisture Surge. WMBA. I got this in the British Beauty Blogger Clinique Latest in Beauty box. It's the only thing out of it that I really like. Just not sure I think it's worth Clinique prices.


I've also been rotating my palettes weekly. I know I'm never going to finish an entire palette so I've decided to make sure they all get used evenly. This week is L'Oreal La Palette Nude Rose.

Quick question, has anyone used Rosehip oil? My skin is a nightmare at the moment and I've been reading good things about the Trilogy Rosehip oil but it's about £16 and I wonder if it's worth it. TIA!

Just got one IN to declare, mum got me some west lab Epsom salts for the bath they might help with my leg cramps/sciatica.

I'm going to add a body lotion to my pp list that is spluttering, it's one I only use with the perfume but I think I might focus on this perfume this month and get the lotion finished. The perfume is only 1/4 full too it was one I only use for "best" as it was expensive and I love it (Roberto cavalli) but it's starting to turn a funny colour and I'm worried the lovely smell will change if I don't get it used. No good having expensive perfume if it goes off before its used.
