    Another UU today and a TA.

    UU: Lush Cupcake face mask. WDBA although at the moment I have a huge tub of Mask of Magnaminty to start on.

    TA: OPI A Ruby for Rudolph. I applied this yesterday morning. It was feeling thick on applicaiton to begin with but a perservered and made a real mess. Brought it to work to touch up. Still looked a complete mess. So it's gone. I have a bottle of China Glaze Ruby Pumps which is similar so won't try to replace.

    Repainted my finger and toe nails last night and am wearing OPI Celestial is More on my fingers and OPI Casino Royale on my toes.
    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!

    I have some uu's

    Revlon Lip Butter in Pink Truffle - WNBA, this broke halfway through and I put it in a pot and applied with a lip brush which I find tedious. It is a lovely colour but I am fed up of it.

    Ren Ever Calm Day Cream 50ml - WBA, it is now called Hydra Calm I think, lovely Rose Geranium scent which so many Ren products have, didn't irritate my skin in any way and felt nicely moisturising.

    Only two ins for the whole month which I am very pleased about.

    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!
    By any chance is this the facebook group a lush group?

  • It's been a very slow month for me, two TAs a sanctuary foot butter and a tub of sanctuary body butter. Each pot was nearly gone but they have been open a while and smell funny. Everything else is spluttering on. One IN, aromatherapy associates muscle gel just got to wait for it to arrive.

    I had a bumper UU month in May so am just going to aim for 5 UU for June.

    Just over target with 6 UU for June :D

    Laura Mercier Tarte Au Citron Shower Gel WNBA, part of a gift set, nice enough but I wouldn't buy it.

    Tata Harper Serum WBA, noticed a huge difference in my skin with this, but it doesn't last very long so would be an expensive habit!

    Tata Harper Moisturiser WBA, again very good but very pricey.

    Scholl Foot Serum WNBA, was a freebie.

    Jo Malone Red Roses Perfume WBA, have another in the stash!

    Burts Bees Cherry Lip Balm WBA, have several stashed!

    Gemzie121- I might be a member of a few :)

    Last UU's
    72) lush golden wonder bath bomb WBA

    73) lush blue skies and fluffy white clouds bubble bar WBA still my favourite scent lush have ever done, would love the perfume but don't think it will ever be produced.

    74) lush comforter perfume WNBA smells exactly like the bubble bar but I don't find it a suitable fragrance for work. I think this one is about 5 years old.

    75) Bodyshop Japanese cherry blossom body butter WNBA I like the consistancy but found the fragrance too cloying.
