    I have some ins and outs to report today! In my defence the ins were essentials as I'm half way through the ones I have on the go and none to replace, so stocked up whilst I was in a supermarket.

    In:
    Asda protect cool mint mouthwash
    Asda pro hygiene cool white mouthwash
    Colgate sensitive sensifoam multi protection toothpaste
    Sensodyne repair & protect daily toothpaste

    Outs:

    I have some outs as Ive sent a swap box and a RAOK (random act of kindness) to some people on Facebook on some groups I go on. Thought I'd send some stuff on to make these two people smile. One will be so surprised to receive sonething she's been wanting for ages as she has no idea she has one on the way to her :D and the other lovely person has done a swap with me for a jelly and bath bomb she wanted but I've put some extra bits in for her too :)

    So I have a load of outs!

    Body shop pink grapefruit mini shower gel
    4 x hello kitty mini bath fizzers
    Body ship satsuma shimmer lip balm
    Body shop strawberry lip balm
    2 x Montagne jeunesse face masks (1 Dead Sea mud 1 passion peel off)
    Lush American pie jelly (RAOK)
    Lush big calm jelly (swapped)
    Lush rose jam mini
    2 x mini pink heart soaps
    2 x tea tree foot mask sachets
    Avon red rose & peach whipped body souffl! 75ml
    Boots extracts strawberry body butter 50ml
    Bath & body works life's a beach pocketbac
    Bath & body works I love glitter pocketbac
    Lush butter bear bath bomb
    Lush Phuket bath bomb

    I really hope they like their goodies :)

    Also gave a little gift to another friend which was a lush frog prince as I have a few stashed and she loves frogs :)

    And then another friend has had a fall and hurt her foot and is on crutches in plaster, so to cheer her up I'm taking round some wine and a mini bottle of lush snow fairy :)

    So lots of outs this month and hoping I've made some people smile :)

    X 24 out of stash so I'm going to count them as UUs!

    A very nice list of items there. I absolutely love the Colour Tattoos I own. Which 2 are you hoping to finish?

    Very kind of you.

    This reminded me that I had a GA this week too. It was a workmate's birthday on Monday. I bought her a scarf and popped a Boots Royal Jelly handcream into the gift bag too.

    My updates:-

    UUs
    Avon Advance Techniques Ultimate Volume Conditioner 250ml - WMBA
    Johnson's Extra Dry Baby Powder 425g - Would love to find more of this, it has been discontinued and I only have 6 bottles left now :o
    Soap & Glory Scrub 'em and leave 'em body scrub 300ml - WNBA, nowhere near scrubby enough to make a difference to my legs!
    Molton Brown Shower Gel 300ml - Suma Ginseng - WNBA, it was great to use but the lingering scent was too masculine.
    Boots No7 Intense Body Serum 200ml - WBA
    Clarins Moisture-Rich Body Lotion 100ml - WNBA, didn't like the smell!

    SOLD
    Lancôme Hydra Zen Moisturising Cream SPF15 50ml
    L'Occitane Neroli & Orchidee Body Lotion 50ml
    L'Occitane Neroli & Orchidee EDT 7.5ml
    L'Occitane Neroli & Orchidee Perfumed Soap 125g

    I can't believe it, I have actually UUed an eyeshadow. I got the Benefit World's Natural Eyes Kit for Christmas and have UUed Pinky Swear from this. I'm not sure I've mentioned but I am long sighted so when doing my make up I can't see things close up too well. I actually thought that the shadow itself had become discoloured but I looked at this at first with my glasses on and noticed I had hit pan. What's left of the product around the pan is hard baked and I hardly got any to come off this morning so I'm considering it done! WNBA. I have Pink Mauve colour in my Lorac Pro Matte pallette that is similar. Down to 79 eyeshadows woohoo.

    Well done VALM. Just 79 years to go and they will all be gone :rotfl:
    I use one palette or combination of singles for a month at a time and there is barely any noticeable difference at the end of the month, powder products just last and last.

  • UUs for the month
    Carex mild and sensitive bath soak 500ml - WNBA bit boring for me.
    Imperial leather foamy banana shower cream - WBA and already have another one. This is lovely.
    Nivea soft moisturising cream 200ml - WBA this is my go to when I need something plain.
    Avon footworks deodorising foot powder 75g - WNBA ended up throwing it away as it smelt vile.
    Rightguard roll on deodorant 50ml - WMBA it did the job.
    Sure sport strength deodorant stick 45ml - WNBA smelt horrible, didn't end up finishing it, just threw it away.
    Radox coconut shower crème 250 ml - WMBA it was ok but there are others I prefer.

    Will update my stash list as have a few INs on the way when I've unpacked my Avon delivery for today and will post it when I get a chance along with my PP list for July :D

    Hello every one on a wet and cold morning:(

    No INs to report for my birthday last week (thank goodness), but may use my 15% birthday discount from Cult Beauty to purchase Aurelia Cell Repair Night Oil and have some birthday money to put towards it too:D

    The last bits and bobs for June:-
    IN
    Blanx Whitening toothpaste 2/48
    I have liked this in the past, and the discussion a few posts back reminded me that I cannot use my whitening trays ATM have a stiff and painful jaw:(

    UU
    200ml The White Company Seville body lotion. 11/47

    Congrats on using up an eye shadow, I'm hoping to have one done in the next month (or so), but this could be a bit optimistic. I have quite a few that have hit pan now, so hopefully a few will start going soon.
