    I have a uu

    Philosophy Pumpkin Icing Shower Gel 500ml - WNBA I prefer the Pumpkin Pie one. Have replaced it with a Gingerbread Cookie one the same size - I have loads of these 500ml bottles and they are taking up a big chunk of space but they last and last.

    morning all, hope everyone had a great weekend.

    Couple of UU for me
    UU: dove deodorant - WBA and already started on one from my stash
    UU: Elemis pro collagen cleaning balm - my HG love love love it.

    Thanks VALM I have taken your advice on cleansers and started on the soap and glory peaches and clean from my stash and am going to sell the other Elemis one I an not keen on (having used a sample) and out the money towards getting my HG once this cleanser is done.

    An unexpected UU:

    La Roche Posay Thermal Spring Water WMBA. It was good, but this would definitely be more of a cooling spray in summer.

    It's very dreary here today, raining and miserable. I'm going to stay in the house today since I don't need to go out at all later on today

    I had a UU last night Nuxe Huile Prodigieuse 30ml, I'm calling this my Body lotion UU for the 5 by spring as it was used mainly as body lotion (also tried as a hair treatment as well). WNBA not really keen on Oils. Have started a Lush Sleepy body lotion as a replacement.


    My 5 by spring list update.
    1 - Any eyeshaddow - have lots that have hit pan
    2 - a tube of hand cream - have a few open ones - should have a UU shortly only a few more uses left in my TBS Strawberry handcream
    3 - a lip balm again I have a few open - 2 of them are nearly finished
    4 - My Snow Lush Castle soap - Love it but want to use my Molton Brown had wash
    5 - UU - A Travel sized Body Lotion - NUXE Huile Prodigieuse 30ml

    I still have the following carry over from 7 by Autumn - 3 left now.

    1 - Benefit Fake up Concealer Full sized - Hate this

    6- Urban Decay Eye Shadows, 50/50 from Naked on the run palette just remaining round the edges and in the corners

    Plus 1 item left from 5 by Christmas.

    2 - Urban Decay one & Done - not yet finished - almost
  • I notice in the first post that people use Shower Gel as handwash - is this as good as handwash?

    I often get given shower gels for occasions (some i've had for 5 years!) - usually Lynx (i'm Male btw) and I always feel bad about getting rid of it, but I don't use Lynx.

    Is it really any good as handwash?

    I love these shower gels too. Can't remember now which pumpkin variety I preferred. I have a Fresh Cream in my stash.

    19 Murad Clarifying Toner new HG and have replacement bottle. I decanted the last one into a pump bottle though so that I wasn't applying too much each time. Love how this makes my skin feel and look.

    I put 6 items for sale on FB QVSell yesterday and have had a message about one already.

    I often use shower gel as a handwash. I don't like really runny shower gels in the shower so I will often re-purpose those. It works absolutely fine.

    I was spring cleaning today and found four Philosophy shower gels in the back of a cupboard. I am glad to have them, but it makes me think my stash is still out of control if I forgot I had four enormous bottles of shower gel!
