    I'm in for March too. Thanks for the new thread!

    Two UUs and one TA yesterday:
    Vichy Aqualia Thermale serum, HG but trying a Superdrug one for a bit
    Max Factor mascara, time to change it
    Rimmel Colourstay mascara (the one that is supposed to dye lashes over time). Smudge central!!! TA!

    Would like to reach 10UUs for March, I have a couple of items nearly there.

    ideally there will be no ins for me this month . . . we'll see . . . I'm down to my last mascara, but spending Boots points doesn't count, right?

    It still counts as an in if you spend your Boots points, it is just a freebie in.

    Caroline Hirons posted at the beginning of February saying they were launching in Boots on March 5th and some people on Reddit have already spotted it in their local Boots store. I hope it's good, a lot of people rave about it, but it's like £20 on Amazon and eBay so I never wanted to buy it. I'll post my thoughts when I start using it :)

    I will look forward to your thoughts on this, it is unlikely that my small branch of Boots will stock it and I have too much other product to use before I can allow myself to order it in:rotfl::o

    The Boots near work won't stock it either. I have 2 x LE C&P left but always happy to try other evening cleansers as long as they aren't foaming Ines as they dry my skin out.

    I have hit pan on another shadow from my Lorac Pro Matte palette. It's called Bare and is a pale pink. Have pulled out another pink shadow to pair with it along with using my MAC shadow that I want to pan.

    Have cut my primer and Tea Tree lotion containers open.

    INs

    Radox coconut bath cream

    Batiste 2in1 dry shampo & conditioner - 4p on clearance from my local Superdrug!!! Last one on the shelf.

    I don’t count everyday toothpaste Superdrug had OralB on clearance for 70p so got 2!

    I feel like this is a public service announcement - Superdrug cotton fresh deo (the blue one) has a male fragrance but it is for women :-/

    xUu : Time Bomb Hand to Hand Combat hand cream. WDBA. I've used this as body lotion today as I have a massive dry spot on my breast bone and down my legs and feet. The Soap and Glory Whipped Clean is not nourishing enough. It did make that pffft sound this morning though so hopefully it's nearing the end.

    Have pulled out a small tube of L'Occitane hand cream and then I'll only have a tib of Cuccio hand cream left.

    I hope the Boots on the retail park where I work stock it. I may do a click and collect to pick up when I go to work next week. I'm definitely going to get the cleanser, possibly the hand cream and maybe the moisturising lotion. Caroline Hirons said they're launching with 5 or 6 items to begin with and then 7 more items are to follow soon after. I hope they bring their Cerave PM moisturiser over here as I would like to try it again. And their Salicylic Acid Cleanser and Lotion look good. I think this is the skincare addict side of me coming out :rotfl:

    Hello everyone. Thank you for the new thread sstevo19.

    I was planning to do some decluttering but ended up binge watching Big Little Lies - amazing show. However, I have some UUs to report:

    Merumaya Retinol Surfacing Treatment     - I love this and have another one to UU. I am not using it at the moment though as weather is really cold and my skin feels dry already.

    Merumaya Iconic Youth Serum - I liked this but not sure if it was really iconic. Perhaps my skin is already in good standing for my age? WMBA but I have other stuff to UU first.

    Merumaya Luxury Facial Wash - I like this face wash. It really helped my skin with adult acne although eventually, it wasn't as effective. I will re-order at some point. I might go through some half used washes first.

    A small pot of Borghese's Fango Delicato Active Mud for Delicate Dry Skin - Came with LF beauty box. It felt nice. Not drying but I think it is discontinued.

    I think my stash is again under control on certain items. I don't feel like buying much anyway. I want to use some of my make-up stash by the end of this year. I will try to commit using some eyeshadows - my work face could do with some color.
    ally.
