    Thanks for the new thread Dolly!

    I had 14 OUTs in May though most were TAs. Hoping for more progress in June. My aim for the year is to get my stash contained within 3 shoeboxes before Christmas. It is currently in 5 tightly packed ones under the spare room bed :rotfl:

    Time for some lists. First 7 by Summer, which has been a tough one:
    1. Nivea Cleanser (soooo close)
    2. Boots Mango Body Butter
    3. Prestige blusher in Pink (retired till I have winter skin again - too pale for now)
    4. Clinique mini lipstick in Nude Pop
    5. One eyeshadow from No 7 mini palette
    6. 17 gel effect nail varnish in Long Island
    [STRIKE]7. Aussie Miracle Moist shampoo[/STRIKE]

    Then June Project 10 Pan - most of these should be do-able and yes, some duplication with 7 by summer:
    1, Dove Fig & Pomegranate body wash
    2. Nivea Facial Cleanser
    3. Nivea roll on deodorant
    4. A hand cream - I have two with good progress
    5. Hit pan on an eyeshadow
    6. Rimmel Stay Matte foundation (this has felt like it had nothing in it since Feb, think we're getting close now)
    7. Vichy Aqualia Serum
    8. Givenchy Ange ou Demon - from one of those Boots Christmas perfume mini sets, planning to take it on holiday
    9. Boots Mango body butter
    10. No 7 Aftersun (will try not to burn but to use it anyway!)

    Good luck for June ladies!

    Thanks for starting us off, Dolly.
    A UU of Aldi Lacura wipes blue packet. WIBA? Yes, if the pink packet (mature skin) is out of stock again, as it often is.
    Can't remember if I mentioned my GA of a facecream without SPF to a friend who isn't bothered about SPF too much, for some reason.

    NBI of facecreams x 2 and an eye serum to review. 1 of the creams doesn't have SPF so may be heading out again as a GA. Will post links to reviews in due course.

    My current total is 229 down from 247. I've reached 102 UU for the year so far. I've also used up 20 products this month but had a few INs. Note that I haven't counted make-up, lip balms, perfumes and body sprays in my overall total yet (though they get counted as UU). I've simply decided to exclude make-up, perfume and styling products from my main total at the moment as those types of products take me far too long to use up and don't get used daily. Once my stash reduces, I will get a new total including more product types.

    UU 1 Soap and glory sexy motherpucker lipgloss in half naked 7ml

    This isn't technically empty but it's been open so long the texture of the gloss is now liquidy which tends to happen to these glosses. Used up as my car lipgloss (I always have to have something on my lips). Was fine, I enjoyed the tingle when it wasn't as old, and the colour is quite nice especially with the 90's makeup that is popular at the moment. WMBA

    Ok ladies, I'm back in, and have a PP list for June:

    - Organic Surge radiance recovery night cream
    - Dr Organic Royal Jelly eye serum
    - Clinique take the day off 30ml
    - DHC cleansing oil mini
    - Clinique Clarifying lotion (200ml)
    - Clinique all about eyes mini
    - monu illuminating primer
    - 2 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

    A few things in there are spluttering, others will be a bit/lot harder!

    And 1 UU to start the month:
    - Elemis Absolute lifting mask. WNBA, not sure it does anything. I suspect it's pretty old though, and I think it's also discontinued!

    I painted my nails yesterday with Opi Koala Bear-y to try and ignore the grey weather. Will have to do another coat this evening to finish them off.

    I had one of my fave colours on over the weekend - Ciate headliner. I've only got the mini though, and it's almost done! It's getting very thick and hard to get any on the brush :( I put a couple of drops of Seche Restore in to see if I can get another use of two over the next couple of months, but this could end up being the first nail polish I've actually used up in ages!

    I'm in again.
    Any of you Beauty Experts can recomend a face mask which can be cooled in the fridge. Only in an attempt to use a sample pot of redness balm which did nothing at room temperature I chilled it and it had visible results. Now I'm wondering it I can cool mask the veins back to where they should be.
