It's been a slow but busy month so only a few UU to report. However I've managed to not buy any toiletries. I can't say the same about makeup however.

UU
Herbal Essences Life's Beachy Conditioner 400ml - WDBA. I've always got on well with Herbal Essences conditioners and can get them at a good price. Lots of conditioner in stash still to use up.

Olivia Shower Gel 60ml (using as hand wash) - A hotel freebie. I found the scent a bit masculine and it was a bit drying on my skin so WNB. Have replaced with a Baylis & Harding shower gel mini to use as hand wash.

An unexpected UU this morning of dry shampoo:D

200ml Batiste original dry shampoo replacement already bought.

VALM

27 Boots Extracts Mango Body Wash feel the same way as I do about the butter. I cut this tube open and ran the remainder through my bath water.

I think I'll be able to finish a pack of cotton wool pads and another 50ml body butter before the end of the month. I'm then planning to bring out my Rituals kit.

I'll be getting my first Senses Club product to test next month, a shampoo and conditioner. Do you know what brand/type it is or is it blind testing? I have oily hair and wouldn't want to use something not for oily hair.

Can anyone advise on where you can sell used make up and skincare online? I looked at the Reddit Make Up Exchange SSteevo19 suggested but I think there is a rule that you have to be a active Reddit user to post?

OUTs:
Vitabiotics – Perfectil Plus Hair supplements, Exp May 2017 – about 1/4 left, too potent for my stomach, large chalky tablets. WNBA.
Biore – Charcoal Pore Minimiser scrub – 92ml – about 1/5 left. Feels slightly irritating, think it strips my skin, persisted long enough with this. WNBA.

INs:
Loreal Miss Baby Roll Mega Volume Mascara - was planning to do my make up before work yesterday but left make up bag at home. Really didn't feel like having a make up free day so purchased this, I'll just add it to my pile of 8 opened mascaras fail. I used a pressed powder I had in my bag, and it revealed dry skin patches everywhere I didn't even know I had. I think this is why I only use powder for blotting / maybe the Biore charcoal scrub was stripping my skin like I suspected.
I made an online order. I know my very dry skin needs oil and have missed using natural products. Trying a brand I found while browsing online, a Mr&Mrs duo from Bath - Natural Spa Factory.
Natural Spa Factory - Illuminate Dry Body Oil - 100ml - 52% off
Natural Spa Factory - Green Tea and Coconut Oil Body Polish - 300g - 57% off
Natural Spa Factory - Pearl and Gold Facial Polish - 50ml - 77% off
There could be lots of reasons why these are discounted so heavily but I am hopeful I will be impressed.

I hope to have some more UU's at the end of the long weekend as I have time to indulge and test!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that. You have to have at least 50 karma points I think, just to prove your not a time wasting or a scammer.

The only other place I can think of is Instagram, if you use it, a lot of skincare addicts swap or sell products on their Instagram pages.

Thanks Ssteevo19, I don't use instagram either ha! Maybe Gumtree. I'm going to have a google..

Two INs to report:

Pixi Glow Tonic 100ml
REN Rosa Centifolia Cleansing Gel 50ml

I've been really bad this month. I am on a strict no buy next month. I will use what I've got. I don't know why I've bought so much this month.

I can't use my previous HG cleanser anymore, it's too harsh on my skin and the dry air in the warehouse I work in is drying my skin and my eyes. The REN one seems to has more gentler ingredients.

Today wasn't a particularly great day at work for me, but I'm holiday for a week now, so all is good.

Hey guys!

Another UU: Sensodyne Pronamel again.
