    One sample UU from this morning:

    Bioderma Photoderm Spot SPF50 Creme sample WBA. This was nice. It didn't irritate my skin at all, it did leave a white cast at first, but once it was rubbed in, it disappeared and I didn't look shiny. It's recommended for use on damaged skin and skin with scars, I have a few tiny scars on my face from spots. Definitely going to consider buying a tube of this in the future.

    Hello ladies!

    It has been a while, so I am back with more than one UU:

    Lady Gaga Fame EdT (30ml): WIBA? Yes - really nice. I tend to wait until it goes down a crazy amount in the Boots January sales but it's lovely. Have bought again and would do so again.

    TBS Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream: WIBA? Yup. I am quite lucky as I can get this at my local TBS outlet which gives a serious discount. It's pretty expensive full price, though.

    Tresemme shampoo: WIBA? HG product until something better comes along.
    Please call me 'Pickle'

    One UU this morning:

    Avon Energise Shower Gel 250ml WPNBA. This was nice, but the bottle I found it hard to open, so I won't buy it again.

    I have a uu

    Yardley Peony EDT 50ml
    - WNB, this was a competition prize and it smelt nice but once it dried I couldn't smell it at all.

    and a GA

    New cid Lip & Cheek Tint - this came in a beauty box I think, I believe the colour was strawberry, I have tried to use it loads of times but I don't like the texture on lips or cheeks or how bright it is. DD has taken it but if she doesn't like it will be a TA.

    I have been using their Photoderm Max SPF50+. It is the first sunscreen I have used that doesn't upset my sensitive skin or make my eyes itchy. I am going to check out the rest of their products when my moisturiser runs out.

    I have another uu

    Crabtree & Evelyn Citron Shower Gel 250ml - I liked this but not really enough to go out of my way to buy again.

    I have this and the body lotion next in line to use :D I do like a nice citrussy fragrance in summer!

    I finally managed some UU this week, I thought there would be nothing before the end of the month the rate I was going!

    14. Superdrug Deep Action Anti blemish gel - WBA, it is as effective as any other spot cream and only a couple of quid

    15. Superdrug Deep Action Spot Clearing body spritz - WPNBA, an acne spray for my back but it didn't make any difference

    16. Botanics All Bright Hydrating night cream - WBA, will actually finish this tonight but figured I may as well post it when I'm on here. Decent moisturiser and I think I bought it half price so it was only a few pounds. I really like the Botanics range on the whole

    I think that might be me done for the month :)

    A good month for UU:D

    Pack of Cutex Nail Polish Remover Wipes 16/59 Sadly no longer available, they were not oily like the little tubs of pads I used to buy.

    50ml Elemis Gentle Rose Exfoliator 17/60 WMBA if I need to stop using acid toners.

  • I have some more UU, hoping for a couple of more tomorrow!

    UU:
    No 7 Quick Thinking Wipes WDBA. I like these, have a few left from using vouchers and staff discount before i stopped working there.
    Stella McCartney Pop Sample WBA. I've had the full size of this perfume and i like it, but theres lots of others i want to try at the moment.
    Dove Maximum Protection Antiperspirant HG. WDBA.
    Benefit The Porefessional Mask WDNB. My friend gave me one of the sachets to try. Really disliked it, made my skin more oily the next day,

    One TA:

    Bourjois So Lacque Glossy Nail Varnish No9 Hated the way this applied and chipped almost instantly. My friend gave this to me after she didn't want it and now i know why!

    And a huge list of In's, naughty step for me!
    Charles Worthington Everyday Gentle Micellar Shampoo
    Charles Worthington Everyday Gentle Weightless Conditioner
    John Frieda Frizz Ease Moisture Barrier Hairspray Professional haircare was 3 for 2 at Boots.
    Garnier Skin Active Mositure Bomb Hydrating Mist SPF 30 This can be used over make up which was the main reason for purchasing.
    Dove Go Fresh Deodrant Spray Pear and Aloe Vera
    Nivea Pearl Deodrant (mini)
    Maybelline Fit Me Powder Bought a second for my handbag i like it so much!
    Revlon Colourstay Creme Eyeshadow 730 This is a beautiful champagne colour, very similar to the Maybelline colour tattoos.
    Essie S'il Vous Play Nail Polish I've been looking for this for about a month now. Superdrug also have 3 for 2 across make up and nail varnish...
    Sally Hansen Color Therapy Glow with the Flow It's rose gold, i'm a tad obsessed!

    Boots had loads in their clearance section too:
    Charles Worthington Moisture Seal Condtioner 250ml - £1.50
    Soap and Glory Rich and Foamous Body Wash 500ml - £1.65
    Soap and Glory Calm one, Calm All bubble bath 500ml - £1.50
    Sanctuary Spa 4 Day Moisture Body Oil Spray 125ml £1.85

    Genuine bargains and will all be used! I need to try extra hard with the UU and decluttering for July to compensate though!
