  • Final few UU:

    The Bodyshop Shea Body Butter 200ml WBA. This took me ages to use as i'm so lazy with moisturising. If i'm ever in need any time soon i'd get this again though.
    Soap and Glory Clean on me Shower Gel 75ml WBA. Another day, another soap and glory mini - must not buy so many gift sets in the sales this year!
    Black Diamond Black Peel off Mask sachet WMBA. This came in my glossybox and i used it straight away. I'll see how my skin feels in the morning.

    Ins - I signed up for Glossybox again, it was half price for the first month with two extra itemsL

    111 Skin Space Defence Bright Eye Lift Gel
    Sleek Power Plump Lip Crayon in Notorious Nude Excited to try this, definitely something i'd buy
    Eness Cosmetics Argan Oil Hand Cream I need to repurpose some hand creams as foot creams the amount i have in stash.
    Batiste Heat and Shine Spray I'm just glad this wasn't dry shampoo!
    Manna Cosmetics Sheer Glo illuminator Will give this a go but oily skin and illuminators don't really go!
    Beauty Pro Black Diamond Mask Already used
    And the two extras:
    Model Co Contour Stick I've been looking at the Clinique one so really excited to try this.
    thisworks In transit camera close up Apparently a mask, moisturiser and primer in one?!

    Also bought The Ordinary Salicylic Acid 2% Solution to hopefully clear my pores.
    Will post my final count and PP list in next months thread.

    See you in July Thread
  • Morning all

    For final UUs from yesterday and the month of June. I also have a few INs :(.

    28) Marc Jacobs Daisy eau so fresh edt 75ml - WBA I like this scent for the daytime although it's not the longest of lasting. Will look to purchase towards the end of the years but I have other perfumes to use first.
    29) Lancome visionnaire advanced skin corrector 5ml - WNB this was okay but didn't notice anything special about my skin after using.
    30) Primark oval cosmetic pads x100 - WBA these are just as good as the boots ones and much cheaper. They do what they are designed for.
    31) Foot detox patches x2 - WNBA. Have plenty more to use but not sure if they actually do anything apart from turning the pad black. If after a decent usage I do think they are in fact doing some good I may change my mind and repurchase.

    INs
    Primark oval cosmetic pads x100 - 4 packs
    Collection 7 day nail varnish in purplicious
    Collection 7 day nail varnish in teal
    Collection 2 in 1 top and base coat - for the last 3/4 weeks I have stopped biting my nails so thought if I started painting them it would help. Cheap varnishes just in case I start nibbling again.
    Elegant touch cuticle pusher and nail cleaner
    Boots nail toe separators
    Body Shop mediterranean sea salt scrub
    Body Shop fan brush
    Boots no 7 retractable lip brush
    Boots no 7precision eye liner brush
    Boots no 7 gwp extreme waterproof mascara, stay perfect amazing eye pencil, high shine lip gloss, protect and perfect intense advanced facial sun protection spf15

    Not the best as thats 17 items just in this one shop.

    Best I try and do as well next month in using as many products as possible.

    I had one last minute IN 250ml Charles Worthington Everyday Gentle Micellar Shampoo 3/33

    So the scores on the doors for June are IN 3/33, GA 0/5, TA 0/4, UU 17/60.

    I need to stay strong and continue not buying very much, I seem to have had an expensive few months (lots of holidays:D) and want to have a lean few months on all fronts - needing to buy some GF products and general price increases mean my food shopping bill is scary:(

    Had some June UU I haven't been able to add yet (was down with the cold!):

    Wella Silvikrin Hairspray 75ml
    - Used this up partly as a make-up fixing spray but have also been doing more with my hair, and therefore needing more hairspray. WDBA as a hairspray but have enough in the stash. Will also get a proper fixing spray for my make-up.

    Nivea Pearl & Beauty Roll-on Deodorant 50ml - I love Nivea deodorants. WDBA but got a few odd deodorants in the stash to get through first.

    Sass Cleanse Me Purifying Cleanser 100ml
    - Got this on clearance in Boots. Have replaced with a new intimate cleanser.

    Aussie Colour Mate Conditioner 75ml - I'm surprised that I used up this whole bottle. Took this on holiday with me. Good conditioner but next time would take one of their hot weather conditioners to the Med. WDBA.

    New Look Pure Touch Eau de Parfum 10ml
    - Sadly this broke in my handbag and I had to throw it away while I was on holiday. At least I'd used up half of it so it was good while it lasted and was only a couple of quid in the sale.

    John Frieda Frizz Ease Forever Smooth Anti-Frizz Primer sample - I've had this sample before from a magazine and it was really effective on my hair. Have so many products so won't purchase yet but I'm considering buying some in the future.

    I also used up an eyeliner pencil (added this to my separate subtotal). It's been a good month. There were a few INs - mainly travel minis for going on holiday. Roll on July!

    UU: Superdrug Cotton Wool roll - Bought in error. Complete waste of money as it is so messy to use.

    Have hit pan this morning on my Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Lo-Fi blush (using as bronzer)

    Hopefully these items will be UU this week:-

    Sanex deodorant - feels very light and is not applying as wetly as before.

    L'Occitane 10ml shea hand cream

    Boots No 7 face wipes - about three left

    M&S 75ml lavender shower gel. Tube feels light

    Australian body care tea tree body lotion - not pumping anymore. Have turned bottle upside down.

    L'Occitane shampoo.

    I rotate my perfumes and this week have pulled out my bottle of Paco Rabanne Olympea which does not have much left in it. I'll be sad to use it up and will definitely purchase a bottle from duty free when I go away to US.

    Repainted my nails at weekend and am wearing Nails INc Piccadilly Circus. I think this was the first Nails Inc lacquer that I acquired (probably a magazine freebie). It's a lovely colour. Will keep it.
