    UU morrocan oil shampoo (tester size). WNBA. No way. Its a nice smell but I think the oil dries my hair out more so won't be buying that either and the shampoo/ conditioner from the range wasn't exciting enough to make me want to spend more on them. I don't shampoo my hair often (I mainly C/O was with a shampoo when needed) so feel it should be a sensory experience.

    2 small UU's for me today:

    1 x pack of Morrisons Baby Wipes - used as makeup remover, loved these as they are quite big.
    1 x sachet of Loreal De Maq Expert Milk to Toner Make Up Remover - I've had this in my stash for years probably! But I did quite like it, not sure if they still make it though! Left my skin feeling soft, but was a bit of a faff to put on with fingers and then take off with cotton pads.

    I'm going away with work this week Mon to Thurs so expect a few small UU's from me later in the week as I take sachets from my stash to use up on these trips. I will have one IN later as need dry shampoo.

    UU - Simple spotless wipes sample pack - WIBA Actually I thought they were pretty good so if they were on offer I may consider.

    Got a few splutterers so thats good!

    An IN to report - the freebie nails Inc polishes with the NOTW - nice bright colours!

    2 more UU's today and 1 IN:

    UU's - 1 x Batiste Coloured Dry Shampoo (Brown) - WIBA? Yep, loved the colour cos I'm dark, but didn't get many applications out of it.
    - 1 x Sure Girl Tropical Deoderant - WIBA? Maybe, this was an emergency buy last year as needed handbag sized one for a holiday.

    IN - 1 x Batiste Tropical Dry Shampoo to replace the one I'd UU! They didn't have any coloured one in my Home Bargains today.

    Also got cotton buds and a towelling wrap to dry hair too but they don't count!

    Anyone tried out the superdrug dry shampoo? I bought one the other day because batiste was more expensive. It seems to work ok but I don't like how it smells like hairspray when I put it on. The scent (blue one) is quite nice once the hairspray smell's gone. Not tested it on really greasy hair yet though.

    Hey all.

    Two UU for me: Mini pack of Nivea Essentials wipes- WIBA? I like the smell of these, did a good enough job, possibly. Mini Impulse Goddess body spray. WIBA? No, don't use body sprays that often enough to buy again.

    One splutterer: No7 Radiance revealed exfoliator.

    No more INs! Tried my new No7 bath soak tonight-lovely stuff! I'm going to try to make a new list of things I must use up this month, worked quite well last month.

    had a mooch around town today with my mum so unfortunately some ins
    Bought two nail polishes, No7 Totally Teal and Vivid Violet, I've used the green one and i think it looks ok. I'm terrible with nail polishes and usually hate dark ones but i thought i'd give them a go.
    I also picked up some No7 Radiance Revealed Exfoliator which i love.
    I did also get the free gift but i'm a bit miffed with it as the catch on the zip is broken and i hadn't noticed, i was going to use the free gift as a pressy for someone. Guess i'll try and make a posh beaded thing to hide the fact that it's broken, grrrr.

    One UU today - No7 face wipes, got 3 packs left, but i probably wouldn't buy again as the Tesco's ones are just as good and a darn sight cheaper. though i have to admit i did pick up some from the pound shop to give a go, 2 for £1 so hopefully they'll be fine.

    piccie of nails if you're interested. please excuse the fat, ugly excema ridden hands, I'm also useless at applying nail polish.
