    I have a uu and a TA

    UU - L'oreal Perfect Slim Eyeliner Pen - I used this quite a bit but I don't suit liquid eyeliner and left it so it has now dried up.

    TA - Soap & Glory Supercat Liquid Eyeliner - this was used a few times and is still OK but I won't use it for the reason above.

    Both of these were GWP's as I know I don't like them and don't buy, hopefully I won't get anymore.

    Oh goodness how is it mid June already??

    4 use ups to declare .
    Swartzkoph (sp) crystal shine hair oil WNBA..trying to not use silicones on hair..was greasy too.

    Philip kinsley hair tonic WNBA. Didn't do much tbh

    Aragan oil hair mask from poundland (although you can get themelsewhere dearer!) WNBA because it didn't do much more than the normal same brand hair conditioner!

    Garnier face cream cant recall name comes in small pink pot for night time , wba Was thinnish so more of a day time creme for my dry skin. Again from poundland.

    Have run out of showergel so onto soaps (which is what I want a more simple basic life..less chemicals) Weather I resist the smell of showergel is another thing, especially as there are so many yummy smells out there at the mo..Mint choc chip. Lemon cheesecake ..sigh!

    Have a good week all x

    Hi ladies - an update from me, with a bit of progress on my PP list for June.

    UU:
    - DHC Deep Cleasing oil, mini. WNBA. Nice, and I like cleasing with oil, but it's no better than just mixing up my own blend.
    - Clinique Take the Day off mini. WBA. My fave eye makeup remover :)
    - Beaver professional Hydro Nutritive Series Shampoo, mini. WNB. nice rich creamy lather, but didn't seem to do anything special for my hair. Hard to tell with shampoo unless it's a full size bottle I can try over time though.

    So list now looks like this:
    - Organic Surge radiance recovery night cream
    [STRIKE]- Dr Organic Royal Jelly eye serum
    - Clinique take the day off 30ml
    - DHC cleansing oil mini[/STRIKE]
    - Clinique Clarifying lotion (200ml)
    - Clinique all about eyes mini
    - monu illuminating primer
    - [STRIKE]2[/STRIKE] 1 mini perfumes (I have various)
    - Cowshed cow pat hand cream
    - Toni&Guy Nourish reconstruction mask
    - at least 2 lush bath bombs/bubble bars
    - Elemis frangipanoi monoi body oil, large size
    - ogx coconut milk hair serum
    - bathhouse pink fizz cocktail lip balm

    It's a start! I'm unlikely to clear the list, some things are going very slowly...

    Nails - painted my nails earlier this week with ciate speed dial, and Seche Vite. Loved the colour, and it lasted really well!
    Repainting tonight with Opi liquid sand in The Impossible, over a peel off base coat, as a glittery treat for London shopping tomorrow :) I'll use a gloss top coat instead of leaving the sand matte finish though.

    Evening all

    Definately back on the wagon and a few UU's to report

    YSL Black Opium eau de parfum 1.5ml - WMBA as I liked this and was nice as an evening fragrance but do prefer my Coco.
    YSL Touche Eclat 2.5ml - WNBA, this was quite old and got very gloopy towards the end. This used to be a HG for me but am now looking for a cruelty free version.
    Urban Decay original eyeshadow primer card sample - WBA but have a couple of other samples to use first.
    Barry M extra volume black mascara 7ml - WNBA not impressed with this mascara, didn't think it did too much on my lashes and seemed to dry up quickly.
    Toni & Guy extreme hold hairspray 250ml - WMBA but its hairspray and in my opinion is no different to the boots one I normally use that is much cheaper
    Toni & Guy stick it up gum 90ml - WNBA did an okay job but didn't hold a style for very long and I have fairly short hair.

    GMAT
    Lost my way for far too long but now back on board to lead a more simplistic lifestyle

    Mar PP - UU 24 (£279.46), TA 2 (£ 13.99) IN 12 (£89.81)
    Apr PP - UU 27 (£324.94), TA 3 (£38.50) IN 53 (£216.65), GA 6 (£40.97)
    May PP - UU 0 (0.00), TA 0 (0.00), IN 0 (0.00), GA 0 (0.00)

    UU

    Just4Mums Nourishing Stretch Mark Cream 150ml - I don't know how effective this is on stretch marks as I don't have any yet but I bought it because I like the ingredients in it - shea butter and rosehip oil. I've used this as a body moisturiser and I liked it as it had a thicker consistency like body butter. It was cheap as well, got it in Savers. I would probably buy this again if I saw it and needed a body lotion.
    Montagne Jeunesse Cucumber & Apple Reviving Masque 6ml - I used this up this morning and one sachet lasted me for two uses. I thought this was a very good mask and good at clearing up oily and acne prone skin.WDBA.

    I've been running around a lot this week so I haven't been able to prioritise using up products as much as I ought to but I'm getting there. I can see that I have several products close to use up so I hope that they will give in soon.

    As we are in the last few days of the 7 by summer challenge does anyone fancy doing a 7 by autumn one? I'm going to think about my 7 items and post a list later. First day of autumn seems to be 22nd September so 3 months to finish 7 items.

    I'll be in thanks dolly. Not so sure about finishing items but just a challenge to keep make up items in rotation to UU. So far I can think of :-

    Smashbix Full Exposure pallette. My oldest. Would like to hit pan on one colour.

    Benefit Dallas powder. Already hit pan.

    Burts Bees Rhubarb lip shimmer. Feel the need to finish one lip balm. This probably has the least product in it.

    Benefit Lemon Aid. Will roll this over to UU as there is sizeable pan.

    Rimmel Lasting Finish foundation. Probably half a bottle left but am tempted to either start using the Bare Minerals one I adopted from Emma or even buy another foundation.

    Will choose a fragrance to add.

    Will put OPI Pirouette my Whistle back into a challenge. I saw it in my little display of lacquers last night and remembered I should be using it.

    Repainted my nails last night and am wearing China Glaze Red Satin. Nice red. Not dissimilar to a lot of reds that I own. Worth keeping in readiness of the Apocalypse I suppose.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

  • May have a UU sooner than I would have thought...

    Does it count when others in the house use your things without asking you?! :mad: :rotfl:
