UU 13 Garnier ultimate blends shampoo the marvellous transformer dull dry hair 400ml - WNBA. It was fine but didn't feel like it cleaned my hair all that effectively. Don't know what possessed me to get one for dry hair as that definitely isn't me! I have another one to replace it with

That will probably be it for May but you never know

A couple more uu's

Aqueous Cream 500ml - I use this as foot cream, WBA but for now have replaced with a tuve of Heel Genious.

No7 Cleansing Water 200ml - WMBA, I only use this for cleaning makeup brushes (ones that have been used to apply oil based products), I have poured my bottle of S&G Micellar water into the spray bottle to use for the same purpose.

UU
TBS Strawberry Hand Cream 30ml. From advent calendar 2014. WNB – find the scent slightly odd, and not relaxing when I use hand creams at night! Have another in stash, that will go to the back of the long queue of hand creams to use up…
TBS Frosted Cranberry soap 40g. From advent calendar WNB as there are others I prefer.
Korres Citrus Showergel 50ml. From Tesco beauty advent 2014. WDNB felt too drying and the scent seemed quite 'masculine'.
Herbal Essences Clearly Naked Shine shampoo 200ml. WBA
Dove anti-perspirant roll on original 150ml WBA
Charles Worthington heat defence spray 50ml. WBA but full size seems very expensive compared to the Tresamme one I normally use!

INs
2x Simple Kind to Skin Protecting Moisture Cream SPF 30 50g. Bought to replace an almost empty No 7 Protect and Perfect day moisturiser, and it was BOGOF from Waitrose!
TBS Oils of Life Sleeping Cream sample

GA
L'Occitane Cooling Verbena hand cream gel 30ml. WDNBA even though it was a magazine freebie - gave me a rash all over my hands that took a week to clear up!

VALM

Another UU : 25ml Elemis PCMC. Have 2 more in stash I think.

Hello ladies,

My last bits and bobs for this month I think:

UU:
TBS satsuma shower gel 60ml from my travel/swimming bag. WBA? Not my personal favourite scent from TBS, but nice enough.

Champneys distant shores body butter 50ml. Yes another BB UU! I liked this, a nice consistency and scent. Many, many more to get through before I purchase BB again.

Some INs:
Nivea face wipes: not entirely unnecessary, I thought they might be handy whilst I'm in hospital soon. Half price in S'drug.
3x Imperial Leather shower creams courtesy of DH- I have an almond, a lavender and an eucalyptus. A very nice gift.

June will be month to really try and blast through products to get some UUs before I am off my feet in July, hoepfully with not too many INs. Although, I have just spotted the two Clinique freebies on the low spend board....

Ren hot cloth cleanser: WBA but already have another in my stash
Ren vita mineral moisturiser X 2: WBA lovely moisturiser
Odylique Rose toner: WBA but already have another in my stash
Elemis shower gel X 2: WNBA was a hotel freebie
Elemis shampoo: WNBA was a hotel freebie
Ren gel cleanser: WBA but fine for cleanser in my stash
Elemis conditioner WNBA was a hotel freebie
Steam Creme: WBA was a great after sun on holiday
Elemis hand Creme: WNBA didn't really like the fragrance
Green people serum: WNBA didn't really like the gel texture
Laura Mercier Tarte au Citron body Creme WNBA was too strong scent.

In: E45 spray body lotion. Good so far!

One last UU for May

57) Montagne Jeunesse tea tree peel-off mask - nothing special, but I might buy again.

I did not do as well as I hope this month, but I also did not buy much. I hope to make more progress next month.

Evening all.
I have far too many INs to report!

14. Maybelline Eye Eraser Concealer
15-16. Maybelline Colour Tattoos in On and On Bronze and Creme de Rose
17. Rimmel Scandaleyes Nude Kohl Pencil
18. Nspa Patchouli and Ylang Ylang Candle
19. Nspa Jojoba White Jasmine Candle
20. Nspa Eucalyptus and Sea Minerals Body Wash
21. Garnier Ultimate Blends Mythic Olive Body Lotion

The Nspa stuff was all reduced to clear at £1.50 each in Asda. Don't know if this is everywhere or just my local. Really pleased I managed to get the Maybelline stuff and the Rimmel Kohl as I have been trying to get these for ages and are always sold out. Got the concealer and one Tattoo on the 2 for £10 in Superdrug so that was a good deal. Then got the other Tattoo and the Kohl the following day.

Luckily I also have UUs!

25. Primark Madagascan Vanilla Candle WBA. Really good value. Not the strongest but nice scent.
26. The Body Shop Moringa Body Mist WBA
27. Rimmel Match Perfection Foundation WDBA. I don't know if I'd call this HG because it isn't perfect but I do keep rebuying it so it must be pretty close.
28. Lily Lolo Blondie Mineral Foundation sample. I just decanted this into my big pot so probably shouldn't count it as a UU but I'm going to anyway!

I've had a bit of a sort out at home after watching a lot of decluttering videos on YouTube. So I've TA 2 eyebrow gels and an eyeliner pencil. I've also GA 2 single eyeshadows, 1 duo eyeshadow, 2 foundations, 1 lipstick, 1 primer and 2 mini tanning products. There's no point them sitting in my drawer not being used so off they go!
This means my totals for the month are as follows:
IN 21
UU 28
TA 8
GA 11
Sold 0
I started 2016 with 542, end of last month was 490 and am now 464!
I know a lot of these were GA/TA but I'm still really pleased with this and feel that TA and GA is part of the same process.
Hope everyone has a had a less windy bank holiday than I've had here! See you in June!

Hello all.......

Please can I come back? Some people may remember I used to post regularly but life has been hectic and is going to stay so, unfortunately I've been 'rewarding' myself with Lancome due to the offer at Debenhams (and I may not have finished if I can find the last stocks of the eye cream they're apparently discontinuing ).

Oh, and I'm also an Avon rep now, a job so very dangerous for someone who loves their make-up, skincare etc!

I will be moving at some point in the next 6 months as well, so I need to get stocks down not up....will you help me stay on the wagon? :A
