    One UU tonight:

    Sensodyne Repair & Protect Toothpaste 75ml WDBA and have. A really nice toothpaste that helps my sensitive teeth and it doesn't contain SLS which makes my mouth burn. I'm going to use the Regenerate sample first before I open my back up tube of this.

    I love this toothpaste too. It's my favourite of all the Sensodyne ones.

    I have sensitive teeth and find that Sensodyne actually makes no difference, I use Oral B Pro-Expert and find that's really good, it takes a LOT of the edge off!

    I've also found sensitive mouthwashes to be no good, I use Dentyl now, the only one I've found that doesn't make me wince!

    I can't use Oral B toothpastes, they make the inside of my mouth shed :eek: And I prefer Sensodyne as it has no SLS in it

    Hi all! Not sure if anyone will remember me (I recognise some names) but I used to follow the challenge. I hope you are all well! Have been away for a while as lost my motivation with new job (been there a year already, time flies!), a crazy lab puppy and have had surgery. Still have a crazy amount of toiletries so need to get myself back on track and using up now I'm well enough to shower etc again!

    Little list of things in progress to use up:

    1. Lush amiphilitron shampoo 250g
    2. Lush veganese conditioner 250g
    3. Lush bubbly shower gel 250g
    4. Lush beautiful shower gel 250g
    5. Lush santas belly shower jelly 100g
    6. Lush supertramp shower gel 100g
    7. Morrisons total care sensitive Toothpaste
    8. Sleep in rollers sleep with me argan oil Hair mask
    9. Dentimint cool mint Mouthwash
    10. Lush sympathy for the skin body lotion
    11. Sanctuary intensive heel balm
    12. Mum dry effect roll on deodorant
    13. Sanex 7 in 1 protection spray deodorant
    14. Primark toffee Apple eau de toilette
    15. Super tarts wonderful life body scrub

    20. Super tarts candy bag body lotion
    21. OPI avojuice hand & body lotion jasmine 30ml
    22. Superdrug deep action blackhead clearing scrub
    23. Avon advance techniques 2 in 1 anti dandruff shampoo/conditioner
    24. Lush papa Noel face wash jelly
    25. Lush curly wurly coconut shampoo
    26. Lush d'fluff strawberry shaving soap
    27. B&BW twisted peppermint deep cleansing hand soap
    28. Lush sugar plum fairy lip scrub
    29. Palmolive soap

    Ok it's a big list haha!

    I'm not sure on the exact names of some so will update the list tomorrow :)
    The good news is I've not added to my stash the past year other than to replace essentials such as mouthwash. I've stopped bath bombs as I can no longer use my bath much. But still have an awful lot to work through so thought I'd join in again and challenge myself to actively use up more again!

    Great to see you again Gemzie, hope the job is going well, can't believe it is a year either. I'm still plodding along too, but trying to be systematic in using up products, and trying to buy as little as possible, not managing a no buy, but doing much better.

    Welcome back Gemzie!

    1 UU - Clinique Fresh Pressed Renewing Powder Cleanser with Vitamin C

    I was suspicious of this but I'm amazed at the results. There are 28 individual sachets to use each morning so you get one month's supply in one box. It is however expensive and I don't really like the extra packaging.
    My skin is brighter and less pigmented, although I must say it wasn't really much at first place.I have a half used Vitamin C cleanser from Murad. I am going to UU it first.
    I've re-ordered Clinique one last night as Caroline Hirons had a 10% off code. Once arrived, I will declare the INs.

    Hello Gemzie, good to see you back. I've been sent some Ameliorate 'exfoliating body lotion' to review, could be interesting,I've never had anything like this before. It contains AHAs, so I think the idea is for people to use it now, to get rid of winter skin dryness and bumps, ready for exposure in the summer.
    You'd possibly expect it to be a thick lotion verging on a cream, but it's not, although presented in a tube, it's as runny as most baby lotions.
    Something different to try, anyway.
    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.
