Thanks @VALM! Did you watch Vikings in the end? I've heard that's good! And well worth the initial payout for TBS cleansing butters as it's saved you in the long run!

uuEve of St Agnes Hydrating Facial Silk - this is gorgeous and has a lovely scent, plastic free packaging too. I have another pot which I will save for the warmer weather as I need something a bit richer in winter. WBADebt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

More uu'sAvon Planet Spa Herbal Steam Bath 200ml - this is a body cream with cedar and eucalyptus, although I doubt it actually has natural ingredients in it, it smells good though and my skin feels soft the next day. Avon stopped doing these ages ago, I bought a couple of pots on sale a loooooong time ago and this was the last one.LyonsLeaf Beauty Balm - I use this as a balm cleanser, it can also be used as a moisturiser, this was a small jar and I have replaced it with the full size and I have one other full size in the stash.Debt Free and now a saver, conscious consumer, low waste lifestyler

I have UU'ed a box of Nip+fab Glycolic Night Pads. I do love these and bought quite a few of them a while ago, when there was a deal. I have some daily pads to use next.
I also UU'ed another bottle of Beauty Pie SPF. I am down to one bottle now and will order more.

Used up my No7 Hot Cloth cleanser and L'Occitane Cherry Blossom shower gel, both of which I love and have more in stocks, have a few other items I need to UU first though.
I tried one of the coconut shampoo bars from £land and I have to say I'm impressed as to how soft it left my long, coloured hair without using a separate conditioner, think I will take that on holiday with me.
