    Couple uu to report:

    Primark argan oil facial wipes- WBA did the job fine and a good price.

    TBS vitamin E body butter 200ml- WBA this has a really nice pleasant smell. Sinks in quickly and is a lovely consustency too - nice and thick. Moisturises really well.

    Bath & body works I love Bling pocketbac- WBA but these are discontinued now (although i have another in stash). This has a lovely berry smell and leaves glitter on your hands which was a novelty for me particularly at work �� these are so handy and dont dry your hands out as much as other brands. I always have a pocketbac on my keys. Will look for another to replace this.

    I have some uu's

    WOW Sheet Mask - this is the first sheet mask I've ever used and I found it very slippery to get on (it was in two sections), I found this made my skin feel itchy when it was on, not super itchy but I really just wanted to take it off. No noticeable effects when I removed it or this morning and at £20 per mask I WNBA. Luckily mine came in a beauty box.

    Imperial Leather Foamburst Green Tea & Jasmine - WBA

    Fashion on the Ration 28/66
  • Wilko skin therapy cotton pads
    2x Simple eye makeup remover pads
    3x Wilko functional face wipes
    No. 7 soft and soothed toner - UU while following my normal routine this morning.
    Simple purifying cleansing lotion - UU same as above.
    Nivea express hydration primer - TA. Binned this as it had been open for ages anyway and I just couldn't see me using it all up before it went bad.
    FCUK for her
    [STRIKE]Impulse vanilla kisses - This feels very light now so expecting it to be UU this month - More than likely only enough to spray myself all over then this one will be finished. Hoping to UU while getting ready for work in the morning[/STRIKE] - UU. As expected, finished it off this morning while getting ready for work.
    Rimmel BB cream - TA. Been open for ages and started smelling funny. I had to start shaking it to mix it up before application.
    Avon colourtrend black eyeliner - TA. Only ever used this once and it's been open for around 3 months now. Wouldn't risk it at all with eye makeup.
    Avon supershock black mascara - TA. Same as above.
    Ciate glitterball mini - GA. The colour of this(well, the clear with tiny purple glitter!) just isn't me at all.
    Gillette shave foam - This is starting to feel light so hoping to see the back of this soon!
    Dove firming lotion - TA
    2x Dove shower cream - TA
    Adidas firming shower gel
    Carmex lip balm with SPF - TA. Binned as I put some on my lips and within about 10 minutes it had all balled up on my lips and I thought "that's not right!"
  • I don't think I'm going to finish anything else this month now so I'm sorting out my list of items I want to UU to post in the new thread for next month! :D

    A UU for me : Vidal Sassoon conditioner. I think when all my conditioner stash has gone I will invest in some.
    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!

    When something forms balls its usually reacting to another product on your skin, I've never had this with Carmex, did you have something else on your lips?
    The issue is usually the SPF reacting, I believe.

  • No. Carmex was all i was using.

    Strange though as the open pot symbol had "3M" inside it, and i opened it up about a year ago, so that could be part of it perhaps.

    2 more UUs :-

    Pixi Glow Tonic. WBA. Payday tomorrow so will look for a good deal. Someone on fb was selling some but practically only took off the cost of postage. What's everyone's feelings on this? If I'm selling something on even if it's new and unused I consider the product to b e devalued and a I'm to sell it for a third or even half off depending on how I have obtained the item is if it's part of a GWP I aim to let someone have it at half price so it is a bargain for them. I don't see the point in paying someone the "street" value as it were for something that they could have already used.

    Nuxe Crene Protegeneuse- WNBA. Git this from MRM ar Xmas. I don't think I like creams that have a balmy texture.

  • Hi All.

    A few UU's to report.

    Imperial Leather Fruit salad SG. WDBA. This was not only cheap but also smelt amazing. Will buy again when the SG stash is reduced.

    Radox muscle therapy. WDBA. Another cheap and cheerful UU. Smells herby and is great after a hard day at work. Replaced with Radox feel pampered.

    Balance me radiance face mask. WNBA. This was a freebie from a magazine. Was okay but was trying to be a face mask and a face scrub.

    Some IN's to report.
    Intuition blades.
    Avon heaven harmony SG.
    Avon dark orchid and raspberry Bubble bath
    Avon French Lilac bubble bath
    Avon chocolate and orange bubble bath
    Avon Pomegranate and peony bubble bath.

    Still some IN's to report on but will do that later in the week.

    The Avon bubble baths are really nice and I always try the new and different flavours.

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend.

    No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales
