    Another UU : LUSH King of Skin. Another of Emma's abandoned items. WDBA. Don't like the concept of putting body lotion on in shower. Was nice and moisturising though.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    UU
    Soap & Glory The Daily Smooth Body Butter 50ml - This was great and lasted longer than I thought. It was a bit difficult to get the last of the product out but I managed to use all of it. Loved the scent. WDBA but got lots of body lotion in the stash. Have replaced this with an Avon strawberry body lotion.

    I too am in need of a pamper so I'm glad to have the whole of next week off work!

  • I have a couple of UUs

    Sample of aromatherapy associates relax bath/shower oil. I used this in the shower, I must admit to not being sure about the scent at first but it did make me feel super relaxed. However money would have to be no object to buy I think- I don't think you'd get hundreds of uses and a full bottle is very expensive! Might try to make my own using some of my essential oils...

    TBS camomile eye makeup remover. WNBA felt overly oily and hard to wipe off.

    Any recommendations for eye makeup removers?
  • 1 UU, Hada Labi Gokujyun super hyaluronic acid lotion. WBA. Really like this, is nice and hydrating. I have a few serums in my stash which I would like to use up first, but if I really miss it I will purchase again, but would prefer to wait until I'm out of everything else.
    No more goo hoarding!

    If you like aromatherapy things have a look at Tisserand, they are lovely and much more affordable.

    I have a uu

    Elemis Lime & Ginger Hand & Body Wash 250ml - this is lovely but too expensive to consider buying again.

    Hi :hello: I have bought the Loccitane one. First time I have ever got one so I'm hoping I'm not disappointed, thought I would treat myself as I have already finished buying presents.

    On another note, has anyone used Yves Rocher and what do you think of it? I keep getting emails and the bits look lovely but wondering if it is a false economy. Thankyou

    I used to buy from them and enjoyed the products, although some of them seem to be a lot more expensive than they were when I shopped with them. I might treat myself when I get through my stash. I notice that French YouTubers seem to always have Yves Rocher in their hauls (and rave about them) so I assume they are a well-regarded brand over there.

    I seem to be using things up pretty quickly recently which I'm really pleased about. I've got through another mini bottle I had on holiday with me.

    UU
    OGX Nourishing Coconut Milk Conditioner 88.7ml - I really liked this - wonderful scent and really softening on my hair. This is definitely one of the best I've used. It lasted a while as well even for a small amount. WDBA but got an OGX larger sized bottle in the stash.
