    One UU tonight:

    Simple KTS Refreshing Facial Wash Gel 150ml WNB. Too drying on my face so I used it up as a hand wash.

    Evening all

    Few more UUs to declare and a couple of INs that were a gift.

    UUs
    10) Elemis pro-radiance illuminting flash blm 50ml - wba this smells lovely and moisturise my skin well in both winter and summer.
    11) Daisy eau so fresh shower gel 75ml - wba but will wait until that certain time of year when they do sets and get another one then. Lovely light day fragrance.
    12) Urban Decay melt down makeup remover 73.9ml - wmba, when first using, this didn't always remove my make up very well but recently has been working really well and removing all makeup. Smells okay and easy enough to use. Quite expensive for a makeup remover.
    13) Clarins - double serum sachet - sample too small to make a decision, will see if I can get a larger sample.
    14) Urban Decay naked skin foundation shade 5.0 sample - too dark and like the last sample feel like I need something a little more full coverage.

    Also my usual toothpaste, deodorant and dental floss.

    INs
    Jo Malone mimosa & cardamon cologne.
    Clarins after sun gel.

    Hope everyone feels much better soon.

    Some larger UUs, yay!

    - Boots essentials nail polish remover. WBA - HG. Cheap and just works.
    - John Frieda Sheer Blonde shampoo (not sure which one, decanted into a pump bottle!). WBA - love all the Sheer Blonde shampoos.
    - Nuxe Huile Prodigeuse (30ml). WMBA - have had a few bottles, have some more. Not sure would pay full price, but do like it, and always seems to be a beauty box or on offer somewhere.
    - Boots essentials cucumber face wipes. WDBA - cheap and cheerful. I don't use face wipes often, and never notice any difference in them, so might as well stick with these :)
    - Neal & Wolf Velvet Nourishing Hair Oil. WMB - got this in some box a long time ago. Nice, but not quite HG. Would recommend it though - easy to run through hair, and always left it soft and shiny. And lasted aaaages!
    - Champneys Citrus Blush enlivening body lotion (50ml). WNB - but it's really nice! There are just quite a few others I prefer, so it's not top of the list.

    So PP list is advancing :)
    June PP
    - [STRIKE]Neal & Wolf Hair Oil (carry over from May)[/STRIKE]
    - [STRIKE]Garnier Summer body lotion (carry over from May)[/STRIKE]
    - Carrefour lip balm (carry over from May)
    - Nivea hand lotion (carry over from May)
    - [STRIKE]Champneys body lotion[/STRIKE]
    - Max Factor Mascara

    And my 5 by summer list
    - Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation
    - Erno Laszlo face cream
    - Kedma eye cream (using on decolletage)
    - [STRIKE]Ark face scrub[/STRIKE]
    - Soap and Glory Micellar water

    A few INs as well, but all necessary:
    - Garnier summer body lotion - a replacement for the one I finished a few days ago, cheap from Amazon. In dark this time - as I'll mix it with the many body lotions I still have :)
    - Boots essentials cucumber face wipes - replacement for above, bought on the way to an overnight stay, and opened last night.
    - Mini nivea deodorant, mini batiste, mini shampoo - again, all 3 used travelling last night, and all needed for a festival coming up as well.

    Benefit They're Real Tinted Lash Primer (mini) I bought this to get free delivery, but i have a friend who swears by this and i had wanted this for a while.

    I've seen mixed opinions on this - but I really like it. I'd recommend leaving it a few minutes to dry before putting mascara on top though - otherwise I don't think it does so much.
    UU number three of June:
    Nivea Soft. WBA. Love this as a body lotion but have loads left to use before I buy more.

    Ah I loooooove this - if I'm skiing in winter I always use this as my main moisturiser, or really any time my skin has had a reaction or got too dry. It just sinks in so well, is very calming and moisturing, and so cheap!

    So far i'm loving it! I like the They're real mascara but it always smudges so i use Rollerlash instead. By using this i get the best of both!

    One little UU:

    Lush Charity Pot 10g WMBA. I bought this when i had a stinking cold and my nose was sore. Used it once and ignored it for months so just smothered myself in it last night, a bit too greasy for me.

    Another UU from last night:

    Lierac Blemish Correction Regulating Gel sample WMB. It helped reduce a spot on my neck, but I'm not acne prone so I wouldn't have much use for this. And it is a bit too perfumed, so might cause problems in the future.

    UU Body Shop Mango Body Whip - nice product, but I don't like fruity smells.

    UU Garnier Moisture Bomb Moisturiser - worst moisturiser I have ever used. It is supposed to be "super hydrating' - ha ha ha...

    TA Diesel Fuel for Life perfume - no idea where I got this. I have been using it as air freshener, but I am completely sick of the smell so it has got to go.

    I have UUed two more items from my PP list:-

    Essie Gel Setter Top Coat - WBA. Shame I can never get fully to the end of a bottle. I know it's not just me but it is now a very gloopy mess with fibres dripping off the brush. Need to forage in Emma's room for the bottle of OPI Brilliance that I gave her for now.

    NARS lip gloss in peach. This was part of a gift set a couple of Christmases ago. Nice consistency. May invest in more. Do have three more from the set still though.

    [STRIKE] Kind Natured shampoo[/STRIKE]
    Kind Natured conditioner
    Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lo-Fi blush
    Benefit Goofproof eyebrow pencil
    Maybelline Colour Tattoo in Creme de Nude
    [STRIKE]Essie Gel Setter Top Coat[/STRIKE]
    Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser
    [STRIKE]Boots Extracts Peppermint Body Butter[/STRIKE]
    L'occitane conditioner
    Avon Senses hand wash
    Liz Earle Jasmine & Osmenthus Cleanse & Polish
    [STRIKE] Nars Peach lip gloss - I have taken the stopper out of this[/STRIKE]

    As well, I have UUed a 50ml tub of Soap & Glory Righteous Butter. WDBA. Lovely stuff. I have one tub of Soap & Glory Sugar Crush left and then will have to use a Soap & Glory gradual tanner and my Tea Tree lotin until my Avon order comes.

    Have also ordered a 400ml bottle of Elemis Balancing Lime Blossom Cleanser from a FB group for the price of the 200ml so pleased with that.

    My Elemis Pro Collagen Marine Cream tub will be finished tomorrow too.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
