Two UUs to report:

Maui Moisture Hibiscus Water Shampoo 385ml - WDBA and have done. This shampoo is really nice and it doesn't irritate my scalp. And it smells wonderful.

Maui Moisture Hibiscus Water Conditioner 385ml - WDBA and have done. Same as above for this.

Hi everyone! Thank you for the new thread.

I have lost track of everything including my UUs as so much going on and I'm struggling to keep up.

I have sold 2 Clinique minis, a mirror and a make up bag and two other items have bids on it.

I have UU'ed Estee Lauder Take It Away Make Up Cleansing Lotion (Travel Size). This was a GWP and it is really gentle and effective however I wouldn't go out of my way to buy it as I do double cleanse and also am concerned about the plastic waste.

I tidied up my stash and I still have too many products so the focus will be selling or using them over the next few months.

Hope you're all enjoying the lovely weather. I haven't been as active as I've had a crazy summer dealing with potential redundancy during peak work activity. Luckily, I've managed to keep my job on a 2-year fixed contract, which will kinda help me to focus on achieving my financial and professional goals. I haven't been buying as much as I used to and most products are now lhjs, so pleased with that. 

Sorry to hear about your job and I'm in the same boat. Trying to secure an internal role at the moment but if not my last day will be 29th of October, very unsettling. 

VALM - I'm not a big fan of Hoola, it also looks muddy on me.

UU V05 Post Gym Refresh Spray 

I have good experience with V05 products and this one is no exception. Planning to repurchase.

Dirty Works Peppermint Foot Butter - WNBA, nice scent but as far as moisturisation goes it isn't anything special, it is really just a peppermint scented lotion, glad to have finally used it.

L'oreal Lipstick in Sweet Berry - this was a really lovely colour but I found it just wore off too quickly as it is very glossy, I kept it in the car to use as a lipbalm in the end.

5 x lip scrubs from Give me cosmetics

That's good news.  As you say, you can now plan a little. xx

Thinking of you at this difficult time.  I have been made redundant twice and it's so stressful. 

If you think Hoola is muddy you should see the Bare Minerals Faux Tan bronzer I'm working on now.  Wow, it takes some blending!

I went to TK Maxx last weekend and ended up with two new lip lacquers by Milk Makeup - £3.99 each - as well as two lovely candles.  I don't usually fess up to candles on here but wanted to mention them as they are really nice.  One is by DW Home - fragrance Pumpkin Spice and the other is by Sand & Fog - Autumn Wreath.

Three UUs to report:

Heliocare 360 Gel Oil Free SPF50 50ml - WDBA and already have done. This is a really nice SPF and it doesn't break me out and I can barely feel it once I've applied it. A bit pricey but it will be worth it

The Body Shop Aloe Calming Cream Cleanser 250ml - WDBA and already have done. This is nice and simple and my skin seems to like it. Replaced with my back up  

Oral B Satin Tape 25m - WDBA and have done. An essential.

Thank you VALM - it is stressful and sad but hoping to get another role quickly, soon. I'm lucky than most as I get a decent package and I will embrace that.

I have sold a Scottish Fine Soaps gift set and The Body Shop Drops of Youth Bouncy Sleeping Mask on eBay. Now it is a good time to sell these as people are shopping for Christmas gifts.

It also helps me to declutter and focus on what I actually would use.
