I'll be carrying on with my 7 by summer still have 6 left as only one UU in April, which was OPI Miss Piggy's big Number mini (have a very similar shade in a full size).
1 - UU
2 - OPI Cement the Deal Mini
3 - Urban Decay Super-Saturated High Gloss Lip Colour in Glinda. This is a lovely lippy in a pencil, unfortunately they don't do these anymore. Its only a little stub now, and I love it but have too many lip items. - Its getting very difficult to sharpen now, but determined not to waste any of it.
4 - Benefit Coralista Blusher (from the cheeky sweet spot palette), has already hit pan. Have way too many blushers at present. - Have been using every day but still going strong
5 - Urban Decay Factory Eye shadow (from Naked 3 Palette), has already hit pan, but not using this shade very often now.
6 - Urban Decay Brightening and Tightening primer potion - Have a different primer I like better. - Only using this for work at the moment as much prefer the replacement, definately feels like there isn't much left now.
7 - Urban Decay Baked Cowboy Eye shadow from the Shadow box, again have already hit pan, but haven't used this one in ages.0 -
Thank you weareghosts for the new thread!

I used Photo bucket for my upload. Yes, the ads are annoying, but it's just a means to an end. I believe you can do it from flickr too, if that's any better for you.Elizabeth

Thanks weareghosts for starting the May tread.
Maddie have a nice holiday- had a giggle over the body cream on the hair. It is something I nearly did. I wrap an elastic band around a conditioner bottle so I can feel which is the shampoo. It works.
Getting there slowly- I hope the next few months will treat you better.
Elizabeth- rather impressed over how you have really hit pan on the pallettes a total achievement.
Gemma enjoy the break- hope the may weather is really sunny for the three weeks
Evilaquid- getting rid of the travel sizes will free up so much space.
Tolteca that is some old polish, I thought I used polish up slowly.
I still have a load of the six by summer remaining
No.7 eye pencil (about 1 and half inch left)
Lancome foundation
Lancome highlighter powder (using the rims)
Clinique turnaround concentrate (quarter left).
I have a micelluar water garnier to use up with a quarter of a bottle left. It will be gone soon.
I have a load of neostratra samples to use up and the skin is looking tired (well I am tired) so these will be ploughed through.
I have a Clinique lipstick with a small amount left- this has to be targeted.0 -
Thank you savingfortomorrow, i hope the weather stays nice too, i have a christening to attend on my first day off!0

Count me in! Last month was terrible. Every product I was using seemed to be refilling itself when I wasn't looking! This month I will be working on my body products as my skin has that post-winter look.0
