1 UU and the last of January I believe got2b Tame and Shine Oil. LHJ and it was ok.Not weighed my hair down. WMBA.ally.0

Two more UU for me today;
lush Big shampoo I absolutely love this salhampoo and I am happy that it’s used up as I have another pot of it from Christmas! Never found a shampoo that works for my fine, flat, prone to greasiness hair. I tend to use it once a week in between using my normal shampoos for a treat. Am saving the pot so I can trade a few in for a free face mask (eventually!)
Lush the olive branch shower gel this was part of a gift set for my last birthday. It smells ok, not overly in love with it although it did make my skin feel smooth.Debt-free wannabe since Jan 2018.
Total debt: was £39,220.58, now £6,977.550 -
Hello
The last UU's of January
Bodycare anti bac hand wipes. WBA. Very handy for in my handbag. Will be getting some more when I pop into town sometime.
A generic Strawberry 100ml shower gel from a gift set. Strong smell which was nice. Lathered well.
So far 17/62 and only 1 necessary In for January. Bring on February!When life throws you a curveball, learn to catch it and throw it back! Feb Grocery Challenge/£1000 -
Hi everyone and happy payday!
Here is my updated PP list. Those I didn’t finish will roll over to February but I think I underestimated the under eye cream, the Nivea hand cream and the primer. Bare Minerals skinlongevity serum has about another week left which I am happy about as it is brilliant and I will miss it. Glad you like it
January Project Pan
Bare Minerals face primer
Nivea Soft Face, Body, Hands (using as hand cream)
UU Outback blue Lush soap (it’s on its last legs) WBA
UU The Body Shop Coconut shower gel 500ml WMBA
UU Mark Hill Seven wonders hair spray WMBA
UU Alberto Balsam Blueberry shampoo WBA
UU Alberto Balsam Blueberry conditioner WBA
The Body Shop Vitamin E Eye cream think this may be a LHJ
Bare Minerals Skinlongevity vital power infusion serum (I LOVE THIS)
The Body Shop animal shape bath jellies - they are just so pointless, I will try again in February
UU The Body Shop Red Musk Eau de Toilette WNBA smell does not last
Gone already in January (updated)
UU- The Body Shop Green Tea Eau de Toilette - It was OK but the scent doesn't last WMBA
TA- The Body Shop Vitamin E lip balm - TA as was covered in sand but was quite old
GA - The Body Shop Green Tea Sorbet WNBA – These sorbets are rubbish. I feel terrible to give this away but life is too short for terrible products. I had to put another moisturiser on after this as it was so useless.
UU – 2 Lush bath bombs. Only another 9 to go.
UU- Lush Jasmine and Henna Fluff Ease – WBA. This is great for my hair every now and then.
UU – Boots cucumber eye makeup remover pads. WPBA.
UU – Victoria Secret scent crayon in Victoria. WNBA (but may buy the perfume). I loved the smell and it really suited me but the stick was a lie. It only had the scent in a balm at the top of the stick. Went to twist the bottom to push more scent out and that was it. Just the tip was the actual scented balm (if that makes sense). What a waste of money.0 -

We have a new thread for Feb - here's the link.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0

Last UU for the month,
Two more from my PP-
Elemis skin bliss capsules x 14 WMBA- these were nice to use especially the pink ones as they smelt of turkish delight! Perfect dosage size and ideal for travel. Have another pack of 14 in the stash.
Right guard deodorant pink- WBA did what it was supposed to do.
UU- Lacura cotton wool pads- WMBA, good budget buy, they come in twin packs but usually I prefer larger sized cotton wool pads. Replaced with another pack of the same.
UU- Kerastase elixer ultime oil 50ml- WBA,
This lasted well, good for detangling and adding shine to hair.
Totals for jan: UU 10
TA 1
IN 14 (mostly minis from boots xmas gift sets)
I have 3 items left from my PP that I will carry over to feb, see you over there:)0
