My last few UUs of the month!

9. L'Oreal Studio Pro Lock It Fixing Hairspray (75ml) - WDBA, love this stuff. Have a huge bottle of it left though to use up first.

10. Lynx Black Body Wash (50ml) - WNBA, I don't like the scent. Unfortunately I still have another bottle *sigh*

11. Aussie Colour Mate Shampoo (300ml) - One from my original PP list! WMBA.

12. Arran Aromatics After the Rain Shampoo (30ml) - WBA, really nice scent and not too heavy.

Hope everyone is well. Only just remembered to put up my UUs for the month.
Pen and ink shampoo 30ml - wnb was nice for a hotel freebie (and sulfate free so great!) but others better.
Salvatorre ferragamo Signorina 10ml - wnb not my type
Salvatorre ferragamo emozione 5ml- wnb not my type
Ysl black opium edp 50ml- wdba i love this one
My burberry black 2ml - wdba
Dsquared want 15ml - wnb nice enough though
Mac upward lash mascara- wnba but will happily keep if in a gift set(already have another from xmas gifts)
Hourglass gel eyeliner obsidian- wnba got one more to use up. These arent as good as they once were- keep crumbling and smudging.
Estee lauder perfectly clean 40ml- wba i have another small one to use and full size and looking forward to that.

Definitely been a perfume month for me rhis month! Enjoying at least one part of the stash looking a little emptier!

Two INs to report:

Aquafresh Complete Care Whitening toothpaste
Simple KTS Refreshing Facial Wash Gel

Both were on offer in Wilko, and there needed as backups.

Hi ladies (and any fellas!) I hope you're all good.

I've been a bit MIA, have had a tough few weeks and my mental health took a bit of a nose dive so I haven't felt up to posting. Also been being a bit spendy which is not ideal, as well as also eating way too much junk!

However I've tried to keep a rough mental note of my ins and outs, been a fair few in both directions.

Ins:
Laura Mercier Handcream (did not need this, but trying not to beat myself up as I was feeling very low and it was a nice treat. It will be useful too as the only other handcreams I have in stash (two I think) are large tubes or pots that don't really fit in bags or pockets as easily.)
L'Or!al Miss Manga mascara - needed to replace one nearly UU I had to chuck, probably my HG mascara
L'Or!al fake lash double ended mascara - did not need but there was a two for £12 offer and I thought I'd try a new one
Bag of bath salts

Outs
Susannah Kauffman Oil for the Senses Bath Oil - PWNB as so expensive however this was the last one in a set of three minis I got for Christmas and this was by far the nicest and was actually quite lovely
Can't remember the brand but I think the mascara was called million lashes or false slashes came in a gold bottle - WNBA too gloopy and thick and wasn't a fan of the brush felt a bit too elaborate and large
Kypris Serum - can't remember the name right now. WNBA as wasn't worth the price point and also smelt a bit weird, kind of like instant chicken noodles. On the hunt still for a HG serum!
Sample sizes of perfume, oil cleanser, facial oil nothing I couldn't live with out or didn't already own full size

I've nearly finished quite a few other things and I'm going to really try to tackle samples and work out which moisturiser and serum I want to try next.

Not expecting anything to change overnight so the Scores on the doors January. IN 8, UU 8, TA 1, GA 0. Would have been better without the hair care purchases, but I have been a little fed up with my hair for a while and it did not cost very much:money:

I have a GA

Revlon Just Bitten Matte Balm Stain in Shamless - lovely colour but not right on me so gave to DD as she loves a dark lip colour.

The last report for January, 2 UUs
Neutrogena Foot Cream: Loved this. It was a very old one, don't even remember where I got it from. WMBA if found for a reasonable price.

Sample size: Clarins Decolette lotion. I liked this although a lot of Clarins stuff feel to me having the same texture & smell. Not sure if buy this in full size.

Forgot to put in my remaining INs for this month....arghh...

7. Urban Decay Perversion Mascara (travel size) - kind of justifiable, as my current mascara is on its last legs.

8-17. Molton Brown Signature Scent Mini Global Body Wash Collection (30ml x 10) - definitely not justifiable!

19. Neutrogena T-Gel Shampoo (250ml)

20. Pro:voke Touch of Silver Brightening Shampoo (200ml)


So I guess this month I'm scoring -8 on the UU/IN scale. For February I'm going to try to buy absolutely nothing at all, as I now have backups in every category and shouldn't need to spend anything. Hopefully I'll be in credit by the end of next month!

One sample UU:

Paula's Choice Calm Redness Relief Toner WNB. It don't think this will do much but I shall wait and see.

One more UU for the month - No 7 Day Cream. Does the job, but I feel I need to find something a bit more serious now I'm spotting my first wrinkles!

A few more INs
Lacura Caviar Day Cream and Night Cream - looked these up online and saw some really good reviews, so thought I'd give them a go! And for £6.99 each you can't complain!
I also got 1 x moisturiser sample from a magazine, and then 3 x hair care samples through the post - that I don't remember asking for, but in to the stash they go!

20 Outs and 10 ins, so at least it's a minus!
