Welcome back @kadison - missed the g and ml part the first time I read your stash post and was thinking about how big your house must have to be to store all of that! 🤣

Thank you and yes, especially the 7710 bottles of shower gel, they'd better be minis!

@Clutterbug07 Have you tried the Garnier Micellar water with the yellow lid?  I hated the blue one but love the yellow one which also has an oil layer in it but for some reason is better?  They do a mini-travel size as well that you can often find online if you want to try it before you invest in the big size.

Few more UU's to report:

Lush Bingo Starr Soap: bought this from the Liverpool store and it's their Ice blue soap but re-branded as part of the Beatle's collection.  Liked it.  Have replaced with the soap that came out of the Power block ballistic I used a couple of weeks ago.

SKIN1004 Madagascan Centella SPF 50+: I really liked this, it's almost like a serum in consistency.  Would only really wear it on a day to day basis and if I'm travelling or going to be out in the sun all day in summer then I'd switch to something else.  But overall very nice, worked well for my skin.  Have 2 more in the stash so have replaced like for like.

The windows are in and the bathrooms usable until a plasterer arrives so back to using up the stash.

UU Sample pot Algenist Blue Algae Vitamin C Brightening Serum.  Really wanted to like this, there wasn't enough for the 10 days needed to see results but I actually didn't like the smell to that is a big no.

UU Sea Magik 3 Seaweed Scalp Mud.  This is a love. WBA.  I started using when I had a dry itchy scalp and it really helped, my hair felt softer and more bouncer when I used it.   Not buying again as a I have a cupboard of conditioners and need to address the fact my hair is falling out so have some products to help with that to use next but keeping this one on the list to buy again if I ever run out of the stash!

UU Spieza Organics daily radiance facial cleansing balm.  A lot like the Eve Lom Cleanser but cheaper and so much better for the skin and the environment.  This is another WBA for me but I'm going to try out other stuff in the stash and use that up first (I have some cheaper products to try out but I love this so much tit is going to be hard to beat).

ruby_eskimo thanks, I think I will try that one next time then!

UU

• Pampers babywipes- Coconut Pure Protection: Has a clippy opening so they don't dry out. Already bought again

INS

• Pampers babywipes- Coconut Pure Protection: x 2
  
• Soltan Once Age Defence 8hr protect SPF 50- 50ml: replacement
  
• Faith in Nature body wash Grapefruit & Orange 300ml:  This smells delicious.  Replacement for TBS one that ran out last month.
  
• OGX Apple Cider Vinegar Shampoo 385ml:  Been curious about this one for a while, and I cannot afford to repurchase the fancy Kerastase right now (running low) what with all the money going out on the new house!

My updated PP List is

Carried forward 

Percy & Reed serum

Be Well shower gel DONE

The Inkey List Retinol serum 

Skinsense Retinol serum 

Into The Night shower gel

Added

Aussie shampoo bar

The Inkey list Niacinamide 

Q&A Grapefruit cleanser 

Eucerin eye cream 

MAC Primer 

Added mini Urban decay all nighter setting spray to replace the Be Well shower gel.  DONE

If i had used this prior to having tried a full sized I would not have been impressed. The nozzle on this one dispebsed way too much product and my face felt very wet on use.

Im adding a Chloe Nomade sample to my list. 

The Grapefruit cleanser and Niacinimide will be done this week.

Another few UU's from the weekend:

Corsodyl Daily Defence Mouthwash: have to use this, it's ok, wish it wasn't so expensive.  Have replaced with another one in the stash.  Usually buy in pairs because Boots has offers when you buy 2.

Lush Spongebob Ballistic: Am I a big Spongebob fan? No.  Did I love the scent?  Yes.  Pineapple and zingy is the only way I can describe this and it was amazing.  WBA and would love a shower gel or body lotion in this scent.

Bobbi Brown Cleansing Oil mini: really liked using this when I travelled as it rinsed clean without having to use a flannel if I forgot to bring one.  Might explore cleansing oils again once I've worked through my balms as forgot how much I liked using them.

i think my primer will be finished next.

in my last post I spoke about an Urban Decay sample sized All Nighter setting spray. Went into my stash to replace this and pulled out a Bare Minerals one instead (mini). This is beautiful. New HG setting spray I think.
