Boring UU today
- Sure Women Invisible Aqua Antiperspirant Deodorant - 250ml: Have a replacement in the stash
A few INS....
I went to the Pure Seoul K Beauty shop in London for the first time yesterday and it was literal heaven!!! I was VERY restrained I think though, and very proud of myself for only leaving with a few items, because I wanted to buy the WHOLE SHOP. My hands felt sooooooooooo soft after trying everything out!- COSRX - Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence: I love my snail mucin for plumping and soothing, and I have missed it in my routine. I have one that's past expiry that I am using up on my body (won't be long till its done actually), but want one back in my life for my face.
- Calendula Complete Cleansing Oil (200ml): I am not loving using just straight oil for cleansing, it doesn't rinse well, so I will save that for facial oil treatment rather than cleansing. Ingredients in this one look nice, and I used it last night- it rinsed away lovely- v pleased with it so far!
- Midnight Blue Calming Sheet Mask: Thought I'd try this one, I like their blue calming cream and that hasn't irritated my skin before so giving this a go.
- Free sample- Hanskin Hyaluron Moisture Cream: I will probably use this on my body rather than face
- Sanex Zero Shower Gel (dry skin): Current one is v low, so this is a replacement

Hi, wondered if I may join? Used to browse the forums YEARS ago but rarely posted. Still recognise a cpl of names tho...... VALM, I'm sure last time I read regularly you had a daughter doing GCSE's? Funny how things pop into your head when you see an old username 😁
Couldn't remember my login details so have made a new account as I have SO MUCH STUFF that I need to use up...... no more buying unless something is used up first!
Going to read over a few of the previous mths to familiarise myself with the lingo again ( PP/ IWBA etc) then post a list of items that need to be used up first.
Hoping that the current habit of opening a product on a whim when I've already got something suitable on the go will finally be put to bed, though I'm not altogether that hopeful as I'm terrible for this, and that this thread will help keep me focused.

Two UU A Johnson's baby shampoo re-purposed into the hand wash bottle and a Green People Make Up Remover. It was a very inefficient make up remover but made an excellent face wash and I will miss it for that. Have a drunk elephant bar to use up now (they last ages, have very little plastic wrapping and last ages so no face wash purchases for this year!)Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!1 -
