    First Anniversary First Post I've been Money Tipped!
    Well this is a slow month for me. Only 3 UUs so far. I've got two products which will be UUs soon. The sunscreen on my PP list and my hand cream at work. Both should be finished in the next few days. Though I've only bought one thing this month. The other INs were bought at the end of last month.

    Though in other news, I've recently started having driving lessons. Oh my god it's terrifying but exhilarating at the same time :rotfl:

    A few UU to report from May:

    Nuxe Moisturiser. WNBA. This was a sachet but I had a full size before that separated so it put me off.

    Aveda Rosemary Mint Shower Gel. WBA. Lovely fragrance.

    L'occitane shampoo. WNBA. Makes my hair a bit dry.

    Elemis conditioner. WNBA. This was a hotel freebie but didn't do much for me.

    Fresh black tea moisturiser. WNBA. Nice cream but left my face very shiny.

    One IN:

    Jo Malone English Oak and Hazelnut. Quite different but fancied a wee treat.

    uu


    Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Shower Gel 500ml - loved the scent of this.


    Crabtree & Evelyn Nantucket Briar Body Lotion 500ml - lovely strong scent and very nice lotion.


    Clinique Moisture Surge Intense 15ml - I've used the normal version of this many times but this is the first time using the intense, it was very nice.

    That's sad, some of my first makeup was from Seventeen. Having said that, brands like Revolution and Collection 2000 are much better quality for a very similar price so I don't suppose i'll miss it.

    UUs:
    Hotel shampoo x2
    Champneys sheet mask. First sheet mask I've ever used. Turns out I don't like them, not one bit! Nine more in the box!

    I’ve never tried it, I was looking for budget buys and the reviews were good so hopefully these items are ok. I’ll try Revolution and Collection 2000 next time, thanks!

    I've been using Revolution blushes and they are really good. Eyeshadows are not too bad as well.
