    Hello. I have had a few UU this month:

    Fuzzy Duck Mistletoe and Mulberry Balancing body wash. Was a xmas gift. The scent wasn't very strong and it didn't lather very well either.
    1 mini Lavender bath bomb in shape of a duck and a Lemon one too(lol): Xmas gift. Nice smell and had a moisturising effect on my skin in the bath.
    Strawberry Bath bomb. Xmas gift.
    Lush glitter bath bomb. Xmas gift. I love Lush stuff but there is glitter everywhere and it took two days to wash off (lol).
    Dove Lemon Roll on deodorant. WBA. I like these but has others to use up first before repurchase.
    Passion body spray. WBA and have done so. I keep it in my handbag for work.

    7 UU out of 46 and 1 IN :)

    Atelier Cologne Figuier Ardent. 4ml. Nope. Husband liked it on me but it didn!!!8217;t do it for me. I!!!8217;ll stick to their citrus scents.

    Herbacin Kamille hand cream. 20ml. A go to. Leaves your hands soft but not greasy or sticky. Hands stay soft after a wash.

    Had to buy nail files today due to a broken nail while out. Can!!!8217;t stand having a broken nail snagging constantly

    Really don't like Almond fragrance.

    UU : Soap and Glory Clean on Me 500ml. Have had baths with this since Friday.
    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!

    Skin Iceland hydro cool firming eye gels. One pair. Think I got these in a beauty box.

    Feels cool while on. Looks a bit firmer, less puffy.

    Might buy for before a wedding or something important

    Seconding the Dentyl - especially the enamel restore one.

    Where do you get this from? I'm struggling to even get the standard mint one these days....

    I have that Maybelline polish, I have quite a few and really like the formula.

    This one has one of my favourite type of brushes - easy to paint my nails. Unfortunately, GelSetter left the finish a bit "bubbly" so took the paint off this morning.

    Superdrug and Boots both have it, in Central London.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get on with Listerine. Older readers may recall Ultrabrite toothpaste, which burned like nothing else before or since, well it did me. I blame my smoking older brother and sister's insistence on my mother buying this for their pearlies for all the fillings I got as a kid, there was no way I could brush my teeth for two minutes with that stuff.

    I've just ordered a mix your own face mask kit as a freebie, and kinda wish I hadn't, the last one was a huge let down. We'll see.

    I honestly feel like the Listerine made my teeth more sensitive than they are :/ The Ultradex one is alright, but it claims to help get rid of bad breath, but it doesn't take the edge off when I eat anything with garlic :/

    One UU tonight:

    Paula's Choice Pore Clarifying Charcoal Gel Mask sample WMBA. This was a weird and fun mask. It goes on smooth, leave for 10-15 minutes, and it's dried. When you apply water to rinse it off, it starts to lather gently as you rub to remove it. It was nice and fun, haha. I think there would have to be a good offer on for me to buy this, but if someone bought it for me, I would use it :)
