    Two UUs this evening:

    Klairs Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil 3ml sample WDB as a full size. This is lovely. Very effective in removing my SPF and the day's grime.

    I’m From Honey Mask 3ml sample WDB as full size. This is a nourishing mask that helps nourish my skin. Lovely texture as well.
  • UUs:

    Mitchum shower fresh anti-perspirant - WBA, more in stash.

    Nip and fab kale serum shot - WMBA, nice scent but not sure if it's moisturising enough for my skin. Have another in the stash

    Lidl dentalux sensitive plus mint toothpaste - WNBA, cheaper version of oral b pro-expert toothpaste but too thin and watery.

    A few more UU to report

    50ml English Weather Cream 6/10
    15ml Clarins Restorative Day Cream 7/11
    50g Emma Hardie Moringa Cleansing Balm 8/12 I love this, but it is too expensive nowadays, better that I spend the dosh on serum/oils/moisturiser I think.

    An in today that will not go on the spreadsheet is a syringe of bleach for my tooth whitening trays, bought at dentist after clean and polish.

    I used to use the Moringa cleansing balm but the price is crazy, I can get the full set of essential products from Liz Earle for £2 more than a pot of that.

    One UU this morning:

    Paula’s Choice Skin Recovery Enriched Calming Toner 190ml WDBA and have done. Love this toner, I use it every morning and it helps keep my skin protected from dry air at work.

    Rituals Tai Chi Foaming Shower Gel 200ml - this is a really nice product it is just very hard to hold the large can and press the awkward nozzle. I have two more cans in different scents in the stash and WBA but not at full price.


    Those nozzles are so annoying. Nearly get RSI using them.

  • I have my first UU to report since joining the forum! Both are everyday items so I hadn't counted them in my 'PP' list, but I still feel a sense of accomplishment :)

    They are:
    Soap and Glory The Righteous Butter 3-in-1 Creamy Shower Gel - I have about 50 shower gels to get through, this was nice but WNBA because it was so thick I felt like I wasted a lot of it

    Hada labo Skin Institute Gokujun premium hyaluronic solution - this is HG for me, the third bottle I've got through (and they last for ages). I recommend it to everyone I know as the best hyaluronic product - much better that TO in my experience (and cheaper for the amount you get). The 'premium' is also better than the normal Gokujun lotion, although that's good too. I already have another in my stash ready to go. I've never seen this in the shops in the UK but you can get it on Amazon for about £9 or buy it all over Asia - I stock up when in transit on trips home to Australia.

    My Look Fantastic Order arrived yesterday bar the free lipstick. I’ve emailed them and they are sending it. Everything bar a bottle of ABC Body Lotion has gone into the stash.

    I am going to TA another nail colour. I was wearing it yesterday and felt meh about it so it’s going (OPI Thanks So Muchness. It was Emma’s to begin with. I much prefer An Affair in Red Square for a foiled shimmery Red. This one is more pink in colour.

    Question for you all, I'm getting married in a few months and I'd love to have nice nails rather than needing to get fake ones put on, mine are very weak and can peel or break very easily....is OPI Nail Envy the product of choice for you all or is there a better alternative?
