    Work has been crazy, but I’ve worked out a PP list and items for the xmas challenge to try and keep focussed.

    PP:
    - Conditioner - a bottle that has been made up with the remains for 4 others :p
    - Aldi Lacura night eye cream
    - Lacura face serum
    - Elemis Frangipani Monoi body oil
    - Murad eye mask sample size
    - Lancome Hydrazen day cream
    - Colour Wow dream coat spray – mini size

    7 by xmas:
    - Large bottle of John Frieda Sheer Blonde shampoo
    - Garnier summer body lotion
    - Clinique foaming face wash
    - Clinique Beyond Perfecting foundation
    - Origins eye cream
    - Elemis cleansing cream
    - Any 2 face masks (slightly cheating here, but I always have a few on the go at once, and really need to finish some!)

    A couple of UUs to report:
    - Elvive dream lengths shampoo – WNBA. It’s fine, but not any better than Sheer Blonde shampoos which I have plenty of in the cupboard, and after that I want to move to solid shampoo
    - Clinique Pep-Start™ HydroBlur Moisturizer – I was very pleasantly surprised by this. Sank in well, had a lovely slightly mousse texture, kept my skin nicely balanced, and had a really nice matte finish. I have another mini to use, but would look seriously at buying this…

    And 2 ins:
    - Clinique Beyond Perfecting foundation – as I’ll need to rebuy in a month or two, so got it with the (very rare!) £10 discount at John Lewis
    - Elemis frangipani monoi body balm – from QVSell group. I looooove this, but won’t pay full price, so grabbed it when someone was selling one :cool:

    Two UUs this evening:

    Primark x Alex Steinherr Maximum Moisture Supreme Sheet Mask WNBA. This was odd, I couldn't stand the feel of this material on my face. Very odd.

    The Body Shop Camomile Cleansing Butter 90ml WDBA and have. This is my HG first cleanser. A good product at a decent price :)

    Oooh, a few things off the PP list last night and this morning! The others will be harder...
    - L'Oreal Elvive dream lengths conditioner, plus the contents of 2 air dye conditioner tubes, and the ends of a travel bottle thrown in :P. The dream lenghts conditioner was fine, but not as good as my HG.
    - Lacura face serum. WNBA - ok, good value, but I think it's made my skin a bit drier and tighter. Def not a HG.
    - Colour Wow dream coat (small 50ml bottle). WMB - I like this! It sprays and coats hair well, and my hair really does seem to stay smoother and shinier in all conditions. (I've another mini bottle in stash too ;))

    One UU tonight:

    Cosrx BHA Blackhead Power Liquid sample WB as a full size. This was nice. Not as drying as the Paula's Choice one I have that can sometimes dry me out.

    1 UU - Estee Lauder The Illuminator Primer. I loved this and it lasted long. Not bad value for the price. Gives a nice glow, keeps my double wear light in place. WMBA.

    Hello all, not kept up with the thread for a few months but been keeping track of my UU!

    Few ins first
    3x molton brown mini bottles I took from my parent's house for travelling, only 30ml so perfect size!
    BS banana conditioner, not desperate for a new conditioner but I remembered this being very moisturising
    BS face mask sample freeby when I bought the conditioner

    UU
    2x MB mini shower gels, these are good and the fragrance lasts but I don't think I can justify the price for some bubbles to wash down the plughole, also I have about 20 SG under my bathroom sink :eek:
    Nivea satin radiance body lotion, I think this was the oldest toiletry in my stash, probably about 12 years old :rotfl: Thankfully Nivea pumped it full of preservatives and it hadn't gone off despite being open for a decade
    Benefit Dandelion blush - I UU a full sized blush!!! Possibly for the first time ever :T
    Clinique turnaround cream sample
    BS raspberry SG 250ml
    M&S Verbena body spray, lovely and citrusy for summer
    Benefit benetint mini
    Lush honey I washed the kids soap sample
    Conditioner, possibly L'Or!al, that I decanted into a smaller bottle when I moved last summer

    Not too many unnecessary ins but I do need to go to SD to stock up on skincare so I may be tempted!
    No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
    35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins

    Two TAs this afternoon:

    Soltan Protect & Moisturise Mini Spray SPF50+ 75ml
    Soltan Protect & Moisturise Lotion SPF50+ 200ml


    I won't use them up before they go bad so I've had to TA. I feel bad but I'm not going to be able to use them on my body until like April/May when it gets warmer.

    They don't go bad the SPF just decreases to half the original that's all.
