    Hello everyone, thank you for the new thread, and hope you are all well.

    I came back from a short trip and UU'ed a couple of minis during my time away; 2 x perfume samples, 1 travel size toothpaste, and 1 travel size Nip+Fab Glycolic Pads.

    I also sold a Victoria Beckham lipstick today and posted it. This was from the Cult Beauty advent calendar and I have too many nude lipsticks so decided to sell it.

    I also UU'ed a full size The Beauty Bay Vitamin C Moisturiser and Origins Refreshing Eye Creams. Both were nice enough to use but nothing extraordinary, may buy them again one day.

    I have finished a little pan of Stila eyeshadow in a champagne pink colour, it was taken from a little palette and I had it in one of the 7 by ........ challenges for quite a while.  Every last bit of it is now gone, it was lovely and I will miss it but I have a full size Benefit Creaseless Cream in rsvp which is similar, I also have UD sin in my Naked palette and a couple of other shadows which are along the same lines.

    Another uu

    Miaflora Kalahari Melon Seed Oil - this is for skin and hair but I just used it on my skin, I really liked this, no nasty chemicals just made my skin feel soft and smooth.

  • Hi All

    Hope you've all had good weekends.

    2 more UU's here, Clinique Take the Day Off cleansing balm which was lovely, really effective but not too greasy and a Radox bubble bath, £2 added to the tin.  Need to find another facial cleanser in the stash and the moisturiser I'm using at night is nearly all gone too (have cut the tub to get to the last of it).

    Have a great day

  • Hi All

    Well the UUs are coming thick and fast at the moment.  A tube of Aria hair conditioner and Pantene hair mask both emptied.  Also used up the last of my Rituals Hammam hot salt scrub, this is my favourite Rituals range, I absolutely love it as it takes me back to the Turkish baths!   £3 added to the pot.

    Have a good day

    Hi everyone,

    Happy Friday! 

    Not much movement with outs but will need to be careful that my stash doesn't increase because of the LHJs and new hair products. Really hope that I can use up at least one shampoo by the end of the year.


    UUs:

    Superdrug hair therapy pre-poo treatment - HG. 4 more in stash.

    Ins:

    Dark brown/red hair dye
    3 x beard balm - To use for hair, but will re-purpose for hands.
    Tigi behead wax stick - To tame flyaway edges
    2 x superdrug warm chocolate conditioner rinse

    uu

    MUR Foundation stick - this was passed on to me by DD, I used to really like these sticks but my skin has changed over the last few years and now it seems to be emphasising fine lines.  At least it didn't get wasted though and the tube will go in the makeup recycling thingy at Tesco.

    I don't know about you but I have a real love/hate relationship with nude lipsticks.  I once panned a mini Marc Jacobs one called Sonic Truth and I'm working on Jeffrey Starr's Christmas Cookied liquid lipstick.  With both I started off not liking them at all and then grew to really enjoy them.  Not enough to repurchase, though.

    I

    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!
