    Finished lancome tester foundation. I can't justify buying it when I have a tonne of stuff to use up. Hopefully one or two use ups before Aug

    Progress in the right direction!

    I haven't had any meaningful UUs this month but managed to sell a couple of things.

    I popped into TK Maxx today and bought a Bum Booster by Skinny Tan and some bath salts. Both were reduced so paid £7 in total. I also went to the zero waste shop to refill my shower gels. I have 2 full bottles now.

    A few UU's and in's this month

    UU:
    - Garnier Olia hair dye. WDBA - HG, use it a lot :)
    - Ultrasun face 30ml. WDBA - if at the right price. Works, lasts well, and is also a good matt base for makeup
    - Clinique smart repair night mini. WMB - nice, though not quite a HG. Got in a bonus time, would happily use again if I got it.
    - John Frieda Blonde hightlighing shampoo. WDBA - HG. Leaves hair clean, bright, shiny. No issues.
    - Clinique take the day off mini. WDBA - love this, always nice in a bonus time.
    - Estee Lauder Revitalising Supreme+ Creme mini. WMB - lovely texture, very pleasant. Not sure it's a HG though.
    - footner foot peel. WDBA - looooove the effect of these. Use about 3 times a year.

    TA:
    - hair creme, can't remember which brand. Made my hair a bit dry and fluffy

    Ins:
    - footner foot peel (used immediately)
    - 3 x Olia hair dye. Bought as a pack from Amazon for the same as 2 from the supermarket. i used them all the time, so nice little saving.
    - Tigi Dumb Blonde tween - large shampoo and conditioner. Bought on Prime day for same price I normally pay for just the conditioner. Already using the shampoo.

    I'm now completely out of night cream! Which should now help get rid of the normal moisturisers too :D

    I'm in again and my PP list for July is:

    A. Florence Super Serum 10ml
    [STRIKE]Dr Jart Ceramidin Liquid 30ml [/STRIKE]
    Eve Lom Gel Balm Cleanser 30ml

    My updated PP list. Some of the items on my list I've not used this month because it's been too clammy and sticky so I haven't want to put too much on my skin as it would have sweated off.

    My scores for the month:

    UUs - 15
    INs - 7
    GAs - 1
    TAs - 4
    OUTs - 0


    The thread for August is now up as well :)

    INs from the QVC Survey Offer, I did think about whether I needed this but the whole box cost less than the RRP of the Elemis toner, which I will definitely use, the others are nice extras :money:

    Elemis Soothing Apricot Toner 200ml
    Molton Brown Jasmine & Sun Rose Bath & Shower Gel 100ml
    OPI Nail Lacquer 15ml - You're the shade that I want!
    Percy & Reed No Fuss Fabulousness Dry Shampoo 150ml
    Perfect Formula Pink Gel Coat 5ml
    Prai Ageless Throat & D!colletage Cream 15ml
    SBC Collagen Micellar Cleanser 100ml
    Skinsense Anti-Ageing Leave-On Mask 25ml
    The Ordinary Hyaluronic Acid 2% + Vitamin B5 30ml
    Tweak’d Rare Treasures Wild Apricot Cleanser 100ml
    Ultrasun Lip Protection SPF 30 4.8g

    UUs
    Elizabeth Arden Visible Difference Hydragel Cream 75ml - Nice texture but it did nothing at all for my skin, not worth the price even at half price.
    Lancôme Hydra Intense Mask 100ml - WNB but I never have, it just comes with the free gifts!
    Nivea Roll-on deodorant 50ml - Pearl & Beauty - WDBA, I love the Nivea roll-ons and this is my favourite subtype.
