A UU Ghost sweetheart moisturiser. Probably wouldn't buy again, was part of a set I got for my Birthday last year. The perfume is a little sweet but seems to work quite well on me.Debt free and busy treating myself:)
No more toiletries/make up until I've used what I've got stashed since Jan 2011, graduated October 2012. Restocked Dec 13..damn those sales0 -
UU Clinique liquid facial soap - the freebie one with the mag! I have quite an oily t zone but this stuff is very drying. It makes my face feel so tight, it's like having an instant facelift! Lol I had to slather on moisturiser to make my face feel normal.0

Nearly bought that lovely purple nv today, £1.99 from the Hub in Stafford and it's in a bigger bottle but I was just too tight with my money after spending £9 on getting my boots re heeled. Does anyone know if that's expensive?
I've just had new soles rebuilt on my worn out shoes, cost me £20 and worth every penny as the tops still look virtually unworn. £9 was very reasonable and a lot cheaper than new boots!Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again...

Hi AT - great name by the way. We are going there for Emma's birthday on 28 July. Can't wait to try 13 - is this a foaming wash? I have same skin type as you and find the foaming ones very stripping. At the moment I'm using a Weleda one which is lovely but TBH is doing the same as a Tesco one I tried ages ago. Next on my to be tried pile is a TBS Aloe one.
No UUs or INs to declare although I do need to go and buy cotton wool pads today.
Painted my nails last night and am now wearing OPI Guy Meets Galvaston.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!

I've had a successful shower this morning on the uu front: John Frieda Brilliant Brunette Volumising Shampoo WIBA? Yes, this is my HG shampoo. Also, a 300 ml tub of Cyclax Apricot Facial Scrub (by appointment to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II!). WIBA? Yes, this only costs 99p from Bodycare and I use it as a body scrub as it is too scrubby for me as a face wash, although it may not be scrubby enough for some of you as a body scrub. I have got body scrubs to use first that have come with gift sets though.0

Another OUT for me this morning: Lush Breath of Fresh Air toner. WBA as it's nice and refreshing and good at getting rid of those last traces of make-up/cleanser, but I've got a big bottle in the stash so will focus on getting that used now."A mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone, if it is to keep its edge." - Tyrion LannisterMarried my best friend 1st November 2014Loose = the opposite of tight (eg "These trousers feel a little loose")Lose = the opposite of find/gain (eg "I'm going to lose weight this year")0

A couple off uu that i forgot to post yesterday,
Sanctuary spa bath soak - lovely, creamy and bubbly and the little 75ml bottle lasts quite a while, have another this size in the stash so no need to buy again just yet.
Sanctuary spa body lotion - this is the stuff that sets you on fire, only does this after a bath when skin is more sensitive but still it can be a bit alarming, have another in the stash so may save for winter, would be lovely when its -10.The devil makes works for idle hands0 -
BUT! Cherry range is being discontinued!! Only to appear at sale times.
Glad I've stocked up
Noooooooo!!! :eek:I like their cherry stuff - darn it - do I stock up or just pray mine have some in next time I need some?
After moaning the other day that it was going to be ages until I have some UU's I unexpectedly had three yesterday :T
BS Spiced Vanilla Showergel: WIBA? :rotfl::rotfl: I still have 4 in stash and one open
Sanctuary Warming Face Mask: WIBA? Definately - apart from the fact I love the 'magic' of itit really makes my face lovely and soft after use. I have an S&G one in use now.
Avon Cherry Hair Balm (Conditioner): WIBA? Yes - I have one in statsh and one on order. Lovely stuff :cool:
