Thank you for the new thread
First UU of the month is Origins Original Skin Renewal Serum 50ml. I bought this from reduced to clear shelf a while back and love using it. Not sure about paying full price though as it felt like any other serum on my skin after using. WMBA at some point.
TA - Origins Anti-Aging Facial Wash 30ml. This has been open for a long time and was from an LF beauty box. It has an odd smell so I think it has gone off.ally.0 -

Confession time:o I have been guilty of "having to buy" special offers and things that others have loved, I have had a few years of feeling pretty poorly and having to be at home rather than out and about and treated myself to nice things as a compensation:( At last treatments have kicked in and I want to sort out my home and stop relying on buying things for a boost. Cue my creating a spread sheet and finding that I have 117 items of toiletries (excluding bath and body, hair care and dental).
So onwards and downwards, from now on I have a real number to work to, when things are stored in various locations it has been easy to not register just how much I have. No judgement being made of other's stashes, this is just to motivate me through the long winter to come.
I have a morning to myself, a pampering session is on the cards:D:DThe best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. (Abraham Lincoln)0 -
