Two UU this morning, Percy and Reed shampoo and conditioner. Seemed quite nice, was a sample. I'm pretty wedded to my Aveda so unlikely to buy.

A bottle of santizer- it was lingering in the car for ages. I am not using up a great deal but at least have limited purchases.5

In again for the last month, thanks for the new thread.
I'm prioritising using up my samples as Boots have changed their recycling rules, just as I predicted. I guess it was costing them too much in points.
Uus:
Neal Yard's Sensitive Replenish + Balance moisturiser sample - WNB, too watery for my skin and smells funny.
Neal Yard's Restore + Smooth serum sample - WNB, nothing special.3 -
A few INs today:
Lush Snow Fairy Shower Gel 250g
Lush Yog Nog Shower Gel 275g
Lush Sleepy Soap 100g
Lush Snow Fairy Roll Bubble Bar
A few treats for myself

Thank you and I'm in too. Hope all doing well!
Bought the Liz Earle Star Gift today and 2 x No7 foundation and 1 x Hot Cloth Cleanser to use £10 voucher.
They will be used and this is the first time I purchased something from Boots after about 9 months.
I sold 6 travel size products and will be sending out tomorrow and have UU'ed a bottle of contact lens solution recently.ally.5 -
