Couple of uu to report:

Dove nourishing oil care hair treatment mask- WBA this does the job really well, smells great and is the perfect consistency. Loved using this one.

Dove pomegranate and lemon verbena roll on deodorant- WBA nice scent and does the job really well.

Only one UU so far this month and it's my HG shampoo Louise Galvin volumising. None left in the stock pile so will have to buy some when out. Have used a Silkin? PF, SLS free one instead. It's a huge bottle inherited from mum. It was okay to use but it doesn't offer any colour protection for me and I paid too much for my highlights not to look after them.

Couple of UUs.
4. L'Oreal Skin Perfection Advanced Correcting Serum WDNBA. I'd used about two thirds of this then forgotten about it for a while so I got it out to UU. I didnt like it at all. I'd forgotten how bad it smells. If I use it in the morning, my foundation looks awful and slides around my face but it's not nourishing enough to use at night. Ended up finishing it up on my arms.
5. Ikea 'Lugga' Candle. This was a green one, from the picture on the label I'm guessing it was meant to be wild flowers. WBA. Nice, fresh floral scent and I really like the jars they come in so I always wash them out to keep.

Also one GA. his morning I pulled out a palette I hadn't used for ages to see what it was like. It's the I Heart Makeup I Heart Passion palette. I think I got this as a GWP. My makeup looks fine but it took a lot more work and time than it should have with these shadows. Given how many I have it seems silly to waste time using something that takes so much effort when I know I have a friend who will be happy with it.

Got a couple of mascaras that are nearly done and maybe one or two more uses out of a hair deep conditioner. Also nearly finished the Benefit brow pencil that came free with a mag last month. It's gone down really quick and I haven't even used it every day. I don't think the full size at full price would be very good value.

Hope everyone's enjoying their weekend!

I'm always put off when hair care says 'oil'. Does this one weigh your hair down at all Gemzie?

I threw away my LOC Champagne eye crayon today. Got it free from Birchbox and never been fully satisfied with it. It seems like it has needed to be sharpened on every use or else became scratchy. Tried to sharpen it today and it got stuck in the sharpener. Pulled it out to find the pencil was hollow. Not upset as it was free and colour was not amazing or dissimilar from any other in my collection. WDNBA.

Have been into Manchester clothes shopping for holiday and have not looked at and beauty products. I am thinking of getting the Laura Geller Gilded Honey highlighter though.

Some IN's to report...

It's my birthday and despite me saying I didn't need any toiletries I still got the new set of shower milks from Original Source - Sweet Apple and Vanilla, Cherry and Almond, Lime and Coconut, and Green Banana and Bamboo, as well as some Lush bath bombs, Ickle Baby Bot, Butterball, Tisty-Tosty, and Think Pink and the moisturizers Skin Drink and Magical Moringa and I haven't even touched my Neal's Yard gift set from Christmas yet. Just as well really, just been made redundant and will be busy job hunting come Monday morning, I will be keeping the purse strings tight for now, so nice to have some goodies to look forward to using.

Shandyclover - I hope that you have been having a great birthday, some lovely gifts. Sorry to learn about the redundancy, in my 46 years in work I had been made redundant (well my job had) 7 times and it is always horrid, for me something always turned up, often better and I hope that the same will happen for you.:D

UU a bottle of shampoo.

I've also put the stuff that's nearly empty in my bathroom so I use that first!

Thanks Fixx, thought I would start on here with a high, I'm on a month of not opening any new products until I've UU what I have open. Its great to see space starting to appear everywhere, then I'm going to limit myself to maybe 2 bottle of everything open at a time, otherwise I have too many around and nothing gets used

2 more UUs from my PP list for August

[STRIKE]Original Source Lime Shower Gel 250ml (1/3 left)[/STRIKE] – WNBA Smelt like Limeade, luckily it didn’t leave a smell afterwards!!!

[STRIKE]Sure Motionsense Bright Bouquet Anti-perspirant Compressed 75ml (Getting Lighter)[/STRIKE] – WMBA if on offer, Nice Smell but not too overpowering

[FONT=&quot]Thats now 8 from my 46 :T:j[/FONT]

Couple more UUs this evening that I wasn't expecting.
6. Murad Rapid Collagen Infusion mini. This was from a beauty box or advent calendar. I really liked this but just looked up that it is £65 for 30ml so probably WNB.
7. No7 Quick Thinking Cleansing Wipes. WBA whenever I have one of those No7 vouchers they give out from time to time. They're very thick, soft and don't dry out but I can't bring myself to pay £7 full price for wipes.

Welcome Vicky_1610 and Matody! And Happy Birthday Shandyclover!
