  • Hi All

    I'm still waiting for my first UU!  I thought my MUDMASKY mask was finished until I cut the tube open and found probably another 3 days worth in there, just shows what we waste if we don't cut the tubes.

    Hi all

    Sorry for not posting before now. I have completed my review of what I have and my PP list is at follows:

    • Colgate Cavity Protection Toothpaste 75ml
    • Batiste Original Dry Shampoo 200ml
    • Hugo Boss Deep Red Perfume 90ml
    • No7 Beautiful Skin Eye Make Up Remover 100ml
    • No7 Beautiful Skin Radiant Exfoliator 75ml
    • Gillette Satin Care Shave Gel 200ml
    • Pantene Smooth & Sleek Conditioner 75ml
    The toothpaste should be used up tomorrow. Everything else will be carried over to next month.

    Re the “7 by Christmas” list, can I just put items that I want to focus on using more regularly as the ones above are the only ones I expect to complete at the moment?

    B x

    ETA I bought a few items yesterday from Boots, I’ll list them later when I can retrieve the receipt.
  • Evening all,

    Nice to see some oldies and newbies!

    UU:

    Boots beauty vitamins - WMBA, one more in stash

    Ins:

    Green pharmacy hair elixir
    Green pharmacy anti-wrinkle nourishing cream
    Klorane gentle oak milk dry shampoo
    Poundland vaseline

    Think that will be all for the rest of the month. LHJs will carry over.
  • Yeay, my first UU!

    Body Stories Sleep Bath Oil, this was part of set given to me by DD along with a spray and an oil for pulse points, really nice, left skin really soft, not sure it really aided my sleeping though :disappointed:

    £1 deposited in savings pot :smiley:

    Welcome to new joiners and returners. 

    I have GA 3 hair products on Olio as I now wear extensions and don't really get a chance to use them.

  • Hi All

    Another UU last night MUDMASKY Sleep repair mask 15ml.  I really liked this, smelled nice, went on easily and I think has improved my skin, would buy in the future but currently have several other items to use up so will resist the temptation!

    Another £1 in my pot :smile:

    uu

    Philosophy Amazing Grace Body Lotion 480ml - I think they describe this as Firming Body Emulsion - yeah right.  Nice enough, not hugely moisturising, I prefer the whipped body creams they do.

    October PP List

    Philosophy Amazing Grace Body Lotion 498ml - b/f from September
    Philosophy Raspberry Sorbet Shower Gel 100ml
    Philosophy Living Grace Shower Gel 240ml
    Avon Cherish EDP
    Clearasil Soap Bar - this was DD's but it broke her out, I don't know where she bought it as it seems to be mainly on ebay.  I'm using it as facial soap and rather like it.
    Avon Pomegranate & Peony Bubble Bath 1L



    My 7 by Christmas list
    1.  Revolution Foundation Stick - b/f from last challenge
    2. Soap & Glory dark brown eyeshadow from a quad
    3. Stila Eyeshadow in a dark matt pink/brown (this is a tiny pan taken from a palette) - b/f from last challenge
    4. Brillo lipgloss in a pale coral colour - keep this in the car to use
    5. Smashbox Full Exposure Mascara mini - b/f from last challenge
    6. Model Co Cream Blush - would like to hit pan on this - b/f from last challenge
    7. Smiths Rosebud Salve - b/f from last challenge


    My updated lists.  The raspberry shower gel is almost done but will probably roll over now, the Avon perfume has a lot left in it, the Avon bubble bath has just one use left but I've been having Epsom salt baths so haven't used it.

    The foundation stick hasn't much left, I've no chance with the S&G eyeshadow, the Stila eyeshadow should be done by Christmas but I will be sorry to see it go, such a lovely colour.  I think the Brillo lipgloss is drying out my lips so I may have to get rid of that and the other one I have in a different colour (these were passed on to me), the mascara is still going strong as is the blush which I will never hit pan on, should finish the salve though.

    This thread has really made me laugh and also realise I’m not alone and need to join you all for November! 
    After being full of cold, sore throat etc for 2 weeks I treated myself to the m&s advent calendar! I have so much stuff already that I really didn’t need it but so many nice things inside and the only things I won’t use are 2 eyeliners but having 2 daughters they get one each. I also bought a Latest in Beauty box in their last sale and am still working through all of this. 
    So tonight I have used up a shampoo and conditioner sample and a face mask and some hair oil and thrown away some old make-up and plan to paint my toenails. So a good start but I have so much!
    l also have a cera ve face wash that made the skin round my eyes so dry that I stopped using it, after reading the posts I realised I can just use the rest as handwash, thanks for the tip👍
    I then need to put together a PP list for November onwards.
    I never used to buy all this stuff until COVID lockdown!
    Entering a few comps here and there 2020 seems my best year for wins so far:- iphone xs, limited edition whiskey, Masha and the Bear toys, newborn baby stuff, 3 x books, 12 months membership to diet app, bottle of syrup, Baby Shark singing puppet, children’s book, Nasty vegan shake x 2 packs.
