2 UU to report:

Lush r&b hair treatment sample- WBA as full size. This small sample lasted me ages as you only need a very small amount. Love the scent of this and it works well on my hair. Makes it heavy and feels odd when first used but my hair is left lovely and soft the next day. Definitely going to buy a full size of this next time I'm in town.

Burts bees honey & grapeseed hand cream 20ml- WMBA brought this home to finish (was work sleep in one) as it needed cutting open. This did the job well but the consistency had gone all funny (not sure why). Still worked ok though and had an odd smell but it did grow on me and ended up liking it. May get this one again but got plenty to use up first.

ETA another UU just now:

TBS Shea lip butter- WBA but I fancy a change of flavour now! This lasted for ages so worth the pennies! Does the job well ( although I keep these to use at night as they turn your lips white if you need to use a lot). I liked the flavour of this one it was a sweet/nutty taste. I imagine I will get another of this flavour in future. Replaced it with TBS mango lip butter.

I am a lip balm hoarder too, I have about 6, I see them on offer and have to buy them, I must admit the ones I buy are always on offer so I don't know why I keep buying them. I think I have tried every lip balm under the sun because they either make my lips even dryer or I find myself allergic to them. I use a SPF lip balm from boots in summer which is ok and a natural lip balm in winter. I just have to use up all the others and then will only buy the 2 in future.

All of my toiletries at the moment are spluttering away I snipped the top of my hand cream and am now getting the dredges out which will probably be UU in a couple of days. My deodorant is also spluttering away.

No INs today

I have another TA

Une Skin Glow Pencil - I think this is the right name, it is a pinky/white pencil but I'm not keen and it is an odd shape so very hard to sharpen.

Hello all!

I will have an update later including a possible IN, the Avon gradual tan I bought is yellow on my fair skin and has coloured only patches, so later I'm going to exfoliate again (very thoroughly) and apply some of whatever I buy when I'm out!

On the topic of lip balm taking ages to finish, Ive always underestimated how long things last. It takes ages to use up most things, hence why I don't need a big stock of lip balm, handcreme, face masks etc as they really do last ages. I've got enough body lotion for the next two years at the rate I'm using it!

I think that's been an important lesson I've learned while doing these challenges!

INs
3 lush bath bombs present from some students.

2 bottles of perfume that I mixed from perfume alcohol and fragrance oil.

UU's
55) lush beautiful shower gel 100g WNBA okay but not my preferred scent.

56) Urban Veda soothing and hydrating toner WNBA too highly fragranced for me.

57) Belif Aqua bomb cream WNBA quite a light lotion but seemed to take ages to sink in.

58) Malie coenzyme Q10 sheet mask WNBA prefer others.

Polling stations closed 12 minutes ago, I hope everyone on here voted and got their voice heard (those in the UK/Gibraltar only of course!) :money:

Lush group order came (a few weeks worth :eek: ) so I have some ins to report:

Lush line shower smoothie
Lush emporer of ice cream buttercream
Lush back for breakfast shower gel 250g
Lush b electro shower gel 250g
Lush black pearl shower gel 250g
Lush iced wine shower jelly 240g
Lush Phuket bath bomb
Lush fox in flowers bath bomb
Lush flying saucers bubble bar? X 2
Lush vanilla dee lite body lotion 250g

X11 in and I'm off to the naughty step again

I have some other bits to declare too from last week which I packed away in box as I was going to work when I get a chance will declare the rest.

On the bright side I have many things a-spluttering at the moment - shower gel, body scrub, talc, body cream, body lotion and hair mask. Should be able to get some more UU before the month ends.

I'm also planning a parcel I'm sending as a nice surprise to someone and have a few little bits from my stash that I was thinking of - they like lush rose jam for example so will definitely be getting one of my 100g Rose jams in the parcel, possibly one of my pocketbacs that I haven't opened and possibly one of my rose jam bubbleroons if I can dig them out. We are selling the house and expecting to move in a few months time so a lot of stuff is boxed up and stacked up now and finding stuff is a nightmare. I know where the shower gel is I'm just hoping I can find the bubbleroon! Would be nice to send a matching little set and those will be a couple of little outs, will declare when I have sent the parcel.

A few movements shall we say and one IN.

UU: Benefit Eyebright. I bought the Benefit mini pot with this on one half and Boing concealer on the other. When I swiped it to apply yesterday morning I found that that was the last application as there was fairly clear pan underneath. WNBA as the consistency was too thick. I'm planning on getting the NYX version with a wand and doe foot applicator.

UU/TA : Clinique High Lengths mascara. WNBA. The brush is too big and I did suffer smudging quite a bit. This was a GWP size. Have replaced it with a full size Soap and Glory one. I say TA as it was getting clumpy.

TA: Essie Goid to Go top coat. Have repainted my nails this morning using OPI A Definite Moust Have. Gorgeous coral colour. Have TA the top coat as I can't get enough product on the brush any more.

Lost : Avon Glimmerstick eyebrow pencil. It was in my pot one day gone the next and Emma denies all knowledge of taking it. Which leads to the IN.

Strictly speaking I don't need more eyebrow products because I have some powder but sometimes this is too fiddly and I just want to use a pencil and go. I tried using an UD eyeliner. The colour was darker than the Glimmerstick but it made my brows feel oily. So I picked up a copy of Elle with the free Benefit Goifproof eyebrow pencil and it does what it says on the tin. The angled applicator makes it really easy to apply. Not sure I would pay full price for it. The one I have is .11g and the mag was £4.10. QVC are selling full size .34g for £14. The colour I have is 6 and QVC say this is deep. I don't think it's that dark though. Worth trying the small size.
