Gemzie121

Got a couple of uu to report:

TBS mango shower gel 60ml- WBA one of my HG gels, this smells lovely and is a nice consistency. Lathers up well and the scent lingers on the skin. Got more in stash in this scent.

Avon grapefruit & passionfruit 2 in 1 shampoo & conditioner- WBA did the job, had a lovely fruity scent and was a good consistency.

Some INs too:

Lush r&b hair moisturiser (large pot)
Lush yoga bath bomb
Lush pumice power x 2
Lush happy happy joy joy conditioning hair perfume 250g
Lush magic bomb
Lush down the rabbit hole bomb
Lush so white bomb
Lush rose bombshell bomb

Another UU yesterday: Lancer The Method Polish. Came in a Birchbox. WDNBA as its too expensive.

Repaintied my nails last night with another fave : OPI Off With Her Red.

Have had 2 use ups after a shower this morning:

UU
The Body Shop Ginger Anti-Dandruff Shampoo 400ml - This lasted me a good 2-3 months used once or twice a week. I got it from someone who didn't want it with less than a third left so if I had bought it full size, it would have lasted a very long time indeed. It's definitely value for money and I would certainly buy this again. However I will use up another couple of bottles of anti-dandruff shampoo I have in the stash.
Vaseline Intensive Care Advanced Repair Lotion 200ml - As the bottle said, this wasn't greasy and dried quickly after applying. It did make my skin soft although I prefer the results I get from Garnier body lotions. The packaging wasn't as good as other lotions and I had to shake the last bits out. WMBA.

I've now put out a few more almost empty body lotions/butters to use up and my body oil is using up slowly. Here's hoping for a few more use ups over the next week or so.

I've got a sample of the lancer on the go, really like it, but way too expensive to buy

Update on 7 by Autumn


1 - Benefit Fake up Concealer Full sized - This is really horrid so greasy can no longer bare to use it daily trying for once a week just to get rid
2 - Benefit Watts Up Highlighter sample 2.5g. - Stopped using this daily as have other things I prefer, trying for at least once a week to try and get rid.
3 - Urban Decay Scandal Lip Gloss mini 1.7ml. - The applicator is starting to feel rather dry, don't think it will last much longer.
4 - UU - Benefit Porefessional mini 7.5ml. - Have also UU a mini Lancôme primer (WNBA for either item), have another one in the stash may try using that up as well.
5 - OPI mini polishes - target changed to any of my OPI mini's. Using my most summery coloured mini's not much movement
6- Urban Decay Eye Shadows, I would like to UU at least one of the following all have hit pan already. 50/50 and Fix (from the Naked on the Run Palette), Baked Cowboy (from Shadow Box), and Minor Sin (single).50/50 is going down quickly currently being used as highlighter. Again, I think I'll change this to absolutely any eye shadow - need to reduce. - Eye shadows definitely going down another one hit pan recently, hopefully one will be gone soon.
7 - Crabtree & Evelyn Avocado, Olive & Basil Body Lotion 250ml. Has been open for ages still not UU as really bad at remembering to use body lotion. - Have used a couple of time this week, had to remove the pump as it failed, probably a good sign that its nearly done.


Definite progress being made, but no real UU yet.

Just a quick one while I'm thinking about it:

I have a huge spot on my chin Does anyone have any ideas how I can get it to go down or help it go away? It had the hugest whitehead on it this morning(TMI sorry!) and I popped it as it was so bad I just felt I couldn't go out with it like that and I had to go to work!

I dab a bit of tea tree oil neat on my spots before bed or before putting makeup on, it reduces mine. And it's cheap I paid £1.25 a bottle in wilko.

Hi all. I have been away at the seaside since last weekend.

I have one uu

Clinique Liquid Facial Soap Dry/Combination 30ml - this is very pleasant to use. I would happily use again if I receive it as a GWP and do have a slightly bigger tube in the stash.

2 UU;

LUSH The Comforter –WNB, don't really enjoy the scent
Soap & Glory Peaches and Clean – WNBA, ended up using it as a shaving cream as I think it broke me out.

Well, I WAS using up my items well due to a friend kindly letting me use their shower(what with our bathroom currently being out of commission until our useless landlady sorts it out) and now she's turned on me and moaned that I used up all her products(when I was taking my own) and always used hundreds of towels every time which she has to wash(again, bullsh!t) and I've hiked up her water bill or some nonsense...

Oh well. You win some, you lose some.

Update on the spot situation: After popping I just let it do it's own thing and it scabbed over and still felt massive. The scab has come of tonight and it feels literally half the size now so I don't feel so alien anymore Thanks to all who gave me tips

Used up a shampoo, but still have loads of the conditioner left:(, I have quite fine hair (luckily lots of it), but have to use conditioner very sparingly or it gets weighed down.

385ml OGX Coconut Water shampoo 5/62

Now to declare my INs, as my Laura Geller set has arrived.

Balance & Brighten Fair 1/58
Blush N Brighten Cherry Truffle 2/59
Lipstick Chocolate Raspberry 3/60
Lip Gloss Caf! Au Lait 4/61
6 shade eyeshadow palette Mocha 5/62

The lipstick is a teeny bit dark, but I think it will be fine during the winter months, very happy with the other colours:D
