            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.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

            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 today0

            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
 2 - Benefit Watts Up Highlighter sample 2.5g. - Prefer Powder highlighter
 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 - almost0

            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?Weight Loss - Start (21st September 2016) 13st 10lbs, Current 10st 10lb (20th August 2017) :cool: :j

            Another UU from my 5 by Spring UU TBS Strawberry Hand Cream 30ml - WBA really nice and smells like chewits/fruitella.

            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 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.0

 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!0
