You realise I'm now trying to think if there is ANYTHING I might be able to finish inside three days now! :rotfl: Maybe the Micellar water (which turned out to be Nivea rather than whichever make I said it was) - the plan is when I've used that to get out the Clinique micellar gel that I'm none too keen on (it was a full-size freebie) and use that, I think. Not a great incentive to use something, know that it's replacement isn't brilliant!

I do have a deodorant that's only got a few days left in it but I don't have any more spray ones in the stash - debating about trying to use the roll-on that I've had kicking about for a while rather than going straight to buy a replacement spray though - just feels a bit chilly for this time of year, if you know what I mean! :rotfl:

Yes it looks like the gauntlet has been thrown down.

I’m using a micellar s gel by SBC at the moment that I don’t particularly like. It smells too soapy. I think this is full sized but probably only 50ml. Got it in a beauty bundle.

Ok, so my final list & the post for the month. I have sold a perfume and a body lotion so 2 more out.
I might need to buy foundation next month. I went to Turkey last week for couple of back and came back with A LOT OF soaps. I will not refill shower gels for a bit but use soaps I think.

I have couple of shampoos in my shower that are not good for my hair at all. I will work through them next month and repurpose as shower gel, make up brush cleaner etc.

So sad that Elemis have discontinued my favourite cleanser. I managed to find a 400ml bottle online last night at a very good price but when that's gone I fear there will be no more.



So, if anyone has an oily t zone and has a really good non-foaming cleanser they can recommend let me know. Any budget.

Three UUs today:

Sensodyne Repair & Protect Whitening Toothpaste 75ml WMBA but we'll see. I do like this one, but after using Colgate Total for a few months, my sensitivity has been a lot less.

Maui Moisture Agave Shampoo 385ml WDBA and have done. My hair feels so nice when I use this. And it doesn't irritate my scalp

Maui Moisture Agave Conditioner 385ml WDBA and have done. My hair feels so smooth after using this.

VALM my absolute HG of cleansers of all time is the Boots No 7 Gel to oil one - no idea what skin type it's intended for I'm afraid but I'd class myself as combination I think and I love it. Beautifully soothing to use as well as you just massage it onto dry skin and it gradually over a couple of minutes turns from the more "solid" gel to the lovely oil. Smells nice too. Then rinse off with water - doesn't leave ANY residue at all.

Eeek sstevo19 you've reminded me that I probably need to nip to £land for toothpaste. Pretty sure I don't have a spare and I'm half way through the current one - although I *might* use up some of the mini tubes that are kicking about the place before buying another full sized one.

Some final UU for January for me. I feel like I've made a good start with the UU despite there being lots of sample sachets!

18. Arran Aromatics aloe vera soap
19. Lush snowcake snow chunk
20. Lush citrus scented soap chunk (I can't remember the name)
21. & 22. Mixa soothing body lotion sample sachets
23. L'oreal skin perfection sample sachet
24. & 25. Bumble and Bumble surf shampoo and conditioner sample sachets
26. & 27. Bumble and Bumble thickening shampoo and conditioner sample sachets

The Bumble and Bumble surf shampoo was just lovely. I'd like to buy more of this but I looked online and the cheapest I can find is £18 a bottle (that's with a 20% discount). I'm not sure I can justify this much! Maybe as a treat when the stash is under control.

One last IN:
A Scottish Fine Soaps bear shaped soap found in a CS!

Final tally: UU: 27. IN: 3.

I was tidying and found a very old foundation and threw it away (Loreal Infallible). This has high coverage and I did like it when my skin wasn't great but I don't buy it anymore.

Am going to add the Lacura glycolic pads to this month’s numbers as there is only one left.

So

UU 14 out of all them only one was deluxe sized.

Outs 4 sold items

INS 2 - Gym for your skin serum which I planned and OPI mini set

I saved £13.50 in my virtual bank from which I have deducted the cost of the two INs leaving £5 in the bank

Next month will already be IN heavy as I have pending orders - Colourpop make up, Elemis cleanser, Korea’s body butter and I’ve just been notified of an auto delivery for ABC skinwash.
