    Thanks for the new thread :) I'm in this month too :P

    I have one UU , Clarins Tonic Bath & Shower Concentrate. GWP and really liked it. The packaing isn't the best though and very difficult to get the last bit out. Not sure if I'd buy it again due to price.

    1 IN, Murad blemish cleanser. I had a complimentary facial today and I already own the serum from the range, so bought this one too as I don't have a blemish cleanser at the moment.

    There will be a collection at work, at the end of this month for Smartworks.org. They are asking unopened skincare/make-up too and I will see what I can part with and donate.

    I've had a clear out and got ridden of two products:

    Nip+Fab Kale Protecting Shot
    Embryolisse Lait-Creme Moussant


    I can't use these anymore and I'm allowing myself on two TAs this month. I just can't physically use these products up :/

    Edit:

    I have three TAs and one OUT:

    TAs:
    Nip+Fab Kale Protecting Shot
    Avon Planet Spa Thai Lotus Flower Face Mask
    DHC Velvet Skin Coat sample


    I actually opened the DHC Velvet Skin Coat sample to see what a makeup primer is like, I don't wear makeup so I wouldn't use it. Very silicone rich, so I would avoid it if you can't use silicones.

    And one OUT:

    Embryolisse Lait-Creme Moussant This is going to a relative. I mentioned having a clear out of toiletries and skincare and she said she would like anything I'm getting rid of. Good job I hadn't put it in the bin straight away.

    First UU for a while, and it was a LHJ...
    L'Oreal Age Perfect Toner for Mature Skin. I reviewed this NBI in November 2015, so I'd had it a good while.

    WIB? Yes, it's very cost-effective compared with wipes, when used with cotton wool pads. It lasted ages, even when I made a real concerted effort to use it.
    I have some Aveeno baby cleansing milk to replace it, that will definitely rule out having to buy wipes this month as well.

    I've made a vow to use more lipstick. I have some lovely colours just sat in my bag and storage.

    TA of a So! lip balm pot. It looked and felt just like pink Vaseline. Horrible. I was avoiding using it, so it's pointless keeping it.
    Sticking with Burt's Bees and Carmex - for probably the next year, even with using it 3-4 x daily.

    Hi everyone, thanks for the thread Deleted_User!

    I have had a flurry of UUs to report:
    Lush Twilight shower gel - WBA I wasn't sure about the scent at first, as it's very wheaty but it grew on me and was very relaxing.
    Elemental herbology harmonising cleanser - WMBA this is like a liquid version of Emma Hardie and although EH is more expensive I think it last better and is better value, it goes further so next time I will buy this again once others UU.
    - Shaving gel I buy whatever of this

    Having a tough time still facing revenge eviction or a huge increase in rent so having to find a new flat and still working too much, in today to cover illness :(

    asajj - I have used a few of the Clinique anti blemish solutions. I have combination skin that gets ever so slighly oily down the centre, nothing much just a bit of shine by the end of the day, I get hormonal break outs on my chin but my problem area is my cheeks and temples which get really congested. I find this product helps with the congestion, doesn't dry my skin out but doesn't do anything for existing breakouts. HTH.

    I have a uu

    Urban Decay Primer Potion
    - this one was just a mini size but still lasted ages, WBA.

  • I have been so busy for the last two weeks and running on exhausted. I even feel asleep with my make up on. Total embarrassment. I have not finished much but have made inroads on what i have. I have bought nothing new except spf spray. But stuck in a moment of nothing finishing.
