I've decided that I'll report as and when I UU them so that it's going to be weeks before I publish any spoilers.

Good idea, I'll do that

Ok, so two more little UUs:
- Shiseido Ultimune power infusing concentrate 10ml sample. WNB - fine but nothing special
- sisley Black rose cream mask 10ml. WNB - again, perfectly nice, but didn't wow me.

And now all my ins over the past few weeks, not including the advent calendar :eek:

Clinique Superpowder Double Face Powder - HG, and my current one is almost done
Clinique rinse-off foaming cleanser - HG
Clinique Clarifying lotion no3 - HG
I bought my 3 HG clinique things on a special advent offer at the start of the month, so got a whole bunch of little freebies (I wait for this offer each year, and only buy my HG stuff then)

So freebies (with purchases):
Clinique Take the Day off 30ml x2
Moisture surge intense 7ml x2
pep-start eye cream 3ml x2
clinique smart custom repair eye-treatment 5ml x2
pep-start hydroblur moisturiser sachet
Cinique for men charcoal face wash 30ml
and a clinique pop oil full size!

Other ins from various places:
- Urban Decay DeSlick makeup setting spray - bought on rare 30% off sale
- Vichy Idealia life serum mini (free sample)
- Nivea invisible deodorant mini - to replace the not-at-all-effective Aldi one
- Burts Bees lip balm (needed desperately at the time!)
- Doctor Kimoto foot peel socks (2 pairs)
- Clinique pep-start hydrorush moisturiser (full size) - bought at an airport with remaining currency I had to use (Czech Koruna)
- Roger&Gallet Gingembre Rouge fragranced water (I love this, been wanting to buy it for ages, then found it half price at M&S!)
- and a little L'Occitance gift from my boss with mini hand cream, shower gel, and bath cube

Oooops :o I'll have to be very good next year, and start using this stuff up! My bathroom cabinet now looks quite full again - although still not as bad as it used to!

UU Dove Colour Care Shampoo not that exciting. Looking down my list I dont think I need anything in the sales but I'm sure I will buy some bits:D

[STRIKE]1. Simple night cream (not much left!)[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]2. Soap and Glory face mask and peel[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]3. Body Shop Frosted Plum body scrub[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]4. Colgate whitening toothpaste[/STRIKE]
5. Body Shop wild rose hand soap
6. Carmex mint lipbalm

1 more thing off my PP - Colgate whitening toothpaste. It does an ok job, but will be sticking to my sensitive stuff moving forward!

Lush Yog Log shower smoothie - It smelt delicious but it really dried out my skin, so WNBA

And a TA - Body Shop Tea Tree spot treatment, it's been open for years, went to use it this afternoon and it smelt a bit funky so I thought I'd just chuck it!

One UU to report:

Omorovicza night cream (mini GWP size jar) WNB as can't afford to but was very nice!! I have a half used full size night cream I need to power on with now.

2 more things for my UU list

5ml REN Micro polish cleanser 7/96
10ml Clarins gentle toner/exfoliator 8/97

It would be great to achieve the 100 UU for the year:D, I think that there are 2 that will happen, will have to cast around for number 100, might just manage an oil cleanser.

1 GA, added to my best friends Christmas present:-
50ml Elizabeth Arden 8 hour body cream. 1/4

Happy Christmas everyone and safe travelling for those that have to make long journeys.:D

I have two uu's

Kerastase Smoothing Taming Milk 50ml - this is for use with heat but I don't use heat on my hair so I just used it on towel dried hair. Nice but nothing special WNBA.

L'oreal Professional Absolut Repair Lipidium Shampoo - lovely and thick and felt luxurious but I've used things that work better for my curls so WNBA.

So this year officially sucks. It feels like everything has gone wrong for a lot of people this year.
I was really proud, I resisted buying anything new, I have started to realize that it will not make me feel better. I did buy junk food as I can’t be really good.
2017’- priorities need to change’- friends and family first, employment second. Living to work has failed me and now a big lesson has been learnt. A contract was not extended and a project wound up. It feels terrible as so much effort and energy account for nothing. A lot of my friends are going through bad luck also right now and it feels like this year has been so difficult.
Lost a lipstick. It was nice but I will replace it when I get a new contract.

used up toothpaste

Lush Christingle
Lush Shoot For The Stars
Lush So White
Lush Butterbear
Lush Santa's Postbox

Realising that new things won't necessarily make you feel better is a huge step so well done for that. I think I am starting to turn that corner myself too.

I'm sorry to hear things have or are rubbish at the moment, I think I get the gist of your post and I feel disappointed for you.

I don't want to throw out cliches but there is likely something better around the corner and maybe you needed to leave something behind to get there.

Take care, I hope you can relax a bit.

I have an TA rest of a sample of a Clinique foaming cleanser. I saw above it was someone's HG but it isn't right for my skin so I've ditched it part way through trialling.
Have a handcream that is basically UU too.

Going to get my sister to paint my nails for me tomorrow she is really good with nails so looking forward to it!
