Yes, I have UUed the Liz Earle Skin Repair Light. We went out last night so I gave my face a quick swipe with a face wipe which does dry my skin out so I put lashings of this on. I also took it down my neck and d!collet! (which I generally neglect to do). I also applied some to my arms too. I was determined it would go this month.i think the oldest moisturiser I have in my stash now is the Vichy night cream I got as GWP in the US last October.

Am going to repainting my nails. Following on red theme am going to wear OPI An Affair in Red Square.

Have totter up my totals and am impressed by my OUTs.

UU: 21 including 8 from my PP list.
TA: 5 including 2 from my PP list
OUT : 4 items sold on eBay

So 30 items gone

INs 24

OK 10 of those were Unecessary. They were :-
Maybelline push up drama mascara
Maybelline Creme de Nude Colour Tattoo
OPI Amore at the Grand Canal
Essential Touch stick on nails
Benefit They're Real Mascara
Cynthia Rowley eyeliner
Parlour detangling spray
Nuxe oil
Kureshi foot cream
Sleek lip liner

Items 5-9 in the list came in the Birchbox. I've only considered them unnecessary as I would not have purchased these items at this time myself as I have similar products in my stash.

Other INs purchased and not strictly necessary at this time are those bought to stockpile for Emma:-
Hawaiian Tropic sun cream
Sanctuary Spa hand wash
Soap and Glory body wash
Blister pack X 2
Mitchum deodorant X 2

All were reduced and I would have bought them at some point in the future anyway.

"Necessary" INs:-
Vidal Sassoon hair colour
Maybelline concealer
Rimmel stay matte powder
L'Occitane verbena hand wash
Boots nail polish remover

All reduced/on offer/cheap alternatives.

3 faves of the month:-
Maybelline Creme de Nude colour tattoo
OPI Amore at the Grand a Canal
Mac Mehr lipstick

3 fails of the month:-
The Orange Tree body scrub
Maybelline push up drama mascara
Elemis evening blooms oil

I've decided I'm going to TA the Maybelline mascara as its just as bad as the mascara I swapped it for. Have others in stash.

Am going to TA Sephora by OPI Dear Duary as there is not much product left and application quality is hit and miss.

Also have another free IN to declare. Emma has swapped another MAC lippie with me for my other Bite Beuty crayon. I found these quite hard in texture and difficult to apply however she likes them. I now also have MAC Brave.

See you all later when I will have more INs from my trip to the Trafford Centre.

Very slow month for UUs.

UUs:

Superdrug Self-heating Chocolate & Orange face mask: WIBA? Maybe, heats up really well but not sure whether I like the jaffa cake smell it produces.

Superdrug Dead Sea face mask: WNBA, don't feel it made much of a difference.

Rice & Jasmine milk soap: WBA, fantastic soap that doesn't dry the skin. Unfortunately, I bought it in Thailand and I cant find it it the UK.

Ins:

3 x Superdrug face drugs
Boots Soltan sun spray (ha! : Rotfl:)

Last INs for April:D

Revitalash Lash conditioner 1ml 12/34
Revitalash Lash primer 3ml13/35
Revitalash Lash mascara Raven 3ml 14/36

So the scores on the doors for April are:-

IN 14 total for year 36
UU 10 total for year 33
GA 0 total for year 10
TA 0 total for year 2.
+ 28 nail polishes GA not included in challenge.

I am hoping that May will not involve so many purchases, but there may be a holiday treat or 3:D I hope to have time to do a PP list before I go away, but if not will keep a note on ins and outs.

Is it really May tomorrow ?! :eek:

I think I have used 18/19 items on pp list which isn't bad, the medicated talcum powder (unless it magically vanishes tonight) will be a carry over to next month.

I have a snow fairy massage bar that (sob ) may o my have one use left in it so if I can get that gone tonight might be Aprils final UU it not I'll be Mays first one!

VALM you mentioning nail polish has reminded me I must paint mine today, I'm not at work now until tues night shift yay, so I have 3 and a bit days to enjoy whatever I put on today. I have too many polishes and too little time to wear them!! I do miss office working where I could wear different ones everyday, not allowed to wear them in care homes

maddie - sorry to hear about your health issues but hopefully you can move forward with treatment now.

Hi lDies. Surprisingly I have one further UU as well as the planned INs:-

UU : Jack Wills Hope Cove body butter. This was gorgeous. I have a tube of the lotion also so WNBA yet. Would use again in the future. Shopped my stash and found I only have 4 full sized body lotions left, I have 2 X Mandarin Spa body butters, 1 500ml L'Occitane Shea lotion and the ABC Tea Tree one. Have some travel sized ones that I want to save for travel. Have pulled out a small Orange Tree body lotion and a Mandana Spa body butter. Also pulled out a Vichy night cream and a Clinique mascara.

So INs:

Both MRM and I got the L'Occitane free gift so I have a Divine face cream (2 of this size stashed now), shampoo, hand cream and yet another Verbena shower gel.

With the voucher I bought a bottle of Violette and Rose de Mai perfume as planned. There was an offer of a free shower gel but this would have voided the discount so I didn't get this.

From LUSH I got a tub of Lemony Flutter for my cuticles (on recommendation from here), bar of Porridge soap (no body scrubs left) and free pot of Cupcake mask (took 5 jars back).

Bought Emma a new bottle of Urban Decay foundation and MRM treated her to one of the new highlighters in Sin which I swatched and it looked divine. Also got a sample size of Setting spray.

Did get some samples from L'Occitane too being the Divine mask which I'm looking forward to trying and another moisturiser.
