    Hi all,
    4 UU for me today

    BS Passionfruit shower gel- WIBA? Yes, when in the sale, it's yummy. On to an OS golden pineapple one now.

    Dove Silk glow shower cream- WIBA? Yes, probably, OH likes it too.

    Boots Essentials Cucumber wipes. WIBA? I have another 4 packets still in the stash. They do the job. Another packet is ready to be opened.

    Neutogena pure glow summer boost moisturiser. WIBA? No, probably not, didn't work on my face for some odd reason, finished it up on my legs, has turned them a lovely brown colour, so not bad when it works!! On to using the rest of a Clinique self sun now.

    One IN:
    400ml HE smooth and soft conditioner, my favourite at the moment, half price in Boots, and I had a 25% coupon from the ACM! so it was only 86p! yay
    (Have another 2 coupons left...I might be back, they last to the 9th, as does the half price HE offer).

    I know its late but I'm in for August too!

    Ive fallen off thw waggon too but not as badly as usual. Ive got lots of products on the go so may have a lot of UUs all together later this month!

    Just bought a LUSH solid perfume for my DD (does that count as toiletries for me?? Im sure I will end up stealing it back from her when she gets bored with it :))

    Im really trying hard but just not getting any UUs. It makes me realise I have about 5 years worth of shower gel to use up!!

    Been trying really hard to resist all the body shop 50% offers recently. Keep trying to convince myself that its not a bargain if I dont NEED it but its hard............resist.......resist!
  • I know I'm late too but I'm in!

    I've got 4 uu:
    Superdrug morocan shower gel - wba did the job
    Boots Sensitive Cleansing Wipes - wba once i've finished my other 7 packets :D
    Schwarzkopf Gliss Repair Conditioner - wnba
    No.7 Night Cream - wba

    Hi, forgot to mention my UU today when I posted before. My huge tub of S&G Righteous Butter has now gone. WBA although there are other body butters that I like as well.
    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!

    Hi ladies,

    Happy belated birthday to Fiasco & Flirtini.

    Hugs to all those having a rough time!

    August has got off to a bad start on the toiletry front......

    Couldn't resist the BS 50% off code plus 25% cashback through quidco so have made a few purchases. Will declare when I collect them from England later this month.

    And yesterday I had a shopping trip to Germany after the Euro hit another record and have 2 INs:

    Balea Eye make-up remover
    Aldi night cream

    Both HG items and have none in my stash, so justifiable puchases.

    Have a nice evening! :wave:

    I am on the naughty step tonight as well. I have just bought a subscription of 12 issues of Woman & Home for £24.99 in order to get a full size schampoo and conditioner from LE and their hot cloth cleanser. I am in London next weekend and had planned to pop into the LE shop there and buy these products anyway so buying this subscription I am getting the products for free so I feel this is a bargain.

    On the otherhand I haven't bought any toiletries since mid June so I have been pretty good.

    Have a nice weekend everyone.
