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.

Is that the cream one? I've tried the Photoderm Max Aquafluide the other day, it was good. I'm currently using the La Roche Posay Anthelios XL Ultra Light Fluid as my daily SPF but it does sting my skin some days, but other days, like today, it's been fine

The Photoderm Spot SPF50 Creme was lovely, no irritation for me, and no irritated eyes. I find if I use the La Roche Posay one too close to my eyes, it runs into my eyes and stings them.

UUs
SK-II - Facial Treatment Gentle Cleanser mini 20g (GWP, have another)
Espa - Nourishing Shower Cream mini 15ml (part of gift set, has a very aromatherapy scent)
Simple - eye make up remover mini 50ml (I'm allergic to this weirdly! OHs HG so she UU it)
Angel Muse - one use sample

I've been a little AWOL - was off at Glastonbury, and then catching up with work (and trying to repair my dried out hair and skin :eek:). A few UUs though, yay!

- Tigi Dumb Blonde purple toning shampoo. WDBA - already have Best purple shampoo there is. 400ml bottle lasts almost a year too, as you don't need much, or to use it very frequently.
- pur correcting primer Illuminate & Glow. WDNB - did nothing, not a fan.
- alpha-H liquid gold. WB - I know some people aren't a fan, but I find this very good for toning my skin overnight, and helping reduce hyper pigmentation. Came in a beauty box, and I've another somewhere.
- pack of Lacura cotton wool pads. WBA - cheap and cheerful. Just opened a second.
- Maybelline the colossal volume smoky eyes mascara. WDBA - one of the best mascaras I've used. No clumps, nicely exaggerated lashes.
- Thalgo Silicium concentrate 2ml sample. WPNB - seemed ok, sank in well, but wasn't anything special.
- Shay & Blue Atropa Belladonna perfume spray 10ml. WNB - just not a fan of the fragrance. Used up as a laundry spray on drying clothes.

I get the eye problem with most facial sunscreens I have tried even when they are supposed to be for sensitive people. The Photoderm Max is a cream, although I would call it more of a fluid. It is a tiny bit shiny, but no worse than many sunscreens and once I put some powder on it was fine. I can't work out quite what the difference is between the Spot and the Max, except one is more for people with age spots, but it otherwise seems the same. The prices are certainly pretty good compared to comparable products.

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!

I agree with you about the Bourjois So Laque nail polishes, they do chip instantly.

I repainted my nails on Wednesday with OPI I don't give a Rotterdam, and it chipped straight away even with Essie Good to Go on top, I patched it up last night and it has chipped again. Last week I wore an Essie polish with the same top coat for 5 days with no chips.

My final uu for June

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish 30ml - lots of these in the stash, I do like it but it doesn't remove eye makeup anywhere near as well as oil.

Glamglow Supermud Clearing Treatment - this was a small tube which came with a full size of the tingle mud. I would happily use again but prefer the tingle one.

One last UU for June:

Bioderma Sensibio Anti-Redness Care sample WPNBA. This was a bit meh, moisturising, but a bit meh.

I'll count up my UUs and INs for this month and post them in a few minutes.

sstevo19

My scores for the month:

UUs - 20
TAs - 3
INs - 27 (If counting the PC samples grouped together) or 39 (If counting the PC samples individually)

I'm going to try my hardest not to buy anything next month. The only thing I need to repurchase is my shampoo and conditioner, as I'm nearing the end of it. Other than that, I don't need to repurchase anything. I'm going to focus on UU any open items, I'm going to see what's been open the longest and start on finishing them.

The thread for July is now up
