    Hi all. I was away a bit and only UU'ed a couple of samples.
    I purchased Origins Original Skin Retexturising Mask Rose With Clay and Ginzing Peel Off Mask from the airport. These were almost half price of the UK rrp so couldn't resist.
    I'm going to try and declutter a bit next month. Listing some items on Vinted and other websites and I'm hoping to sell few things including toiletries.

    UU:

    Yves Rocher Lily of the Valley body lotion 250ml. WBA, nice, not too heavy like some Lily of the Valley scents can be.

    StripTease Lip Gloss. Full size. ModelCo, came in a beauty box. It looked pretty lurid in the tube but went on very sheer. Tasted sort of fruity. Nice thing about the packaging was a mirror on the side of the tube.

    Givenchy Prisms Blush. It was about one inch square and part of a tower cube bought in a duty free. I liked it and would spend the money on it, if I ever get through the blush mountain in my stash. Not glittery and just nice.

    Estee Lauder GWP size moisturizer. Daywear. Did the job had an SPF. Have had the full size in the past.

    Things are going down. Daily use makes things disappear, lol. But there is still an eyeshadow that has hit pan and is never going to end.

    I’m going to post my May totals because I can’t see me finishing anything else today or tomorrow with the exception of the Lorac Pro shadow. So here goes :-

    23 UUs
    2 TA

    16 INs including the TSV set of 6 which has still not arrived but I’m hoping will be here today or tomorrow. With the exception of this kit they were all direct replacements.

    Next month I think I will need Night cream, hand cream and maybe body lotion although Emma is due home next weekend for the Summer which will see an influx of toiletries.

    I spoke too soon. My UU has increased by 1. My Bath and Body Works handcream in French Lavender is gone. This was lovely. The candle I bought recently has been finished too. Think I’ll put in another order for 2 of each.

    Bought a handcream from Sainsburys last night : My Skin Matters tube. First impression is that it’s ok but considering it contains Shea butter has a thin consistency and is not as nourishing as the B&BW ones.

    My TSV is not going to arrive. My INs then are 11.
    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!

    Started May with 133, ended with 136. Im OK-ish with this though as 3 items were purchased to enter a competition, a couple were sample freebies and I stocked up on clearance mascara. Didnt do great on my By Summer list but liked the focus it gave.

    One OUT today:

    Tigi Bed Head Colour Goddess Oil Infused Conditioner 200ml

    I'm sending it back to FeelUnique for a refund. There was no ingredients list on their website, so I thought I would be fine with this, but it's got mineral oil in it and I can't use anything with mineral oil in it.

    My scores for the month are:

    UUs - 15
    INs - 18
    TAs - 3
    GAs - 1
    OUTs - 1

    I bet you all think that I stalk this forum!! Three more UUs since I posted:-


    Lorac Pro Linen eyeshadow from the mini matte pallette.



    YSL Babydoll mascara. I was hanging on to using this so that I could open the Mally mascara but it's not to be so will open new YSL one tomorrow.


    Creightons Anti Frizz conditioner. I used this to shave my legs this morning as I was too lazy to get back out to the shower to retireve my Lush Dirty cream from the stash. There was only a little left once I'd cut the tube open anyway. This was lovely. My only quibble would be that I used it up very quickly. Seemed to need to use a lot on each application. Looking forward to trying the Mane and Tail one.


    I have placed an order for 2 x Bath and Body Works hand creams and 2 x candles because I'm feeling like a petulant child as I didn't get my make up order from QVC. Judge me if you will !!


    See you all in June.
