    Another UU for me : Happy Hair Days Glossing Shampoo. WBA although not yet. Have another full one to use and some Ojon shampoos.
    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!

  • Just popping in to declare some OUTs - Lush Japanese Aid Soap and Dove Invisible Dry Deodorant. Also some unintentional INS - Simple Rich Moisturiser (my mam gave this to me when I was at home as she doesn't use it) and a belated birthday present from my brother's girlfriend: some bath salts, a body butter and a body scrub. The brand is called Whispers - not come across it before.

    UU's for me
    Lush Banana Soap - WIBA? No! It smells nice but it's horrible and I prefer the honey one
    Simple face wash - WIBA? Yes, it's my HG and I have two bottles left :D

    Minerva - 80 outs in a month! Is that a typo or are you the UU queen of this challenge?!

    First my UUs:

    BS Japanese Cherry Blossom shower gel 60ml. Have a full size in my stash, very nice product with a long lasting scent.

    Lidl liquid soap. A good buy, but liquid soap is liquid soap, not bothered where it comes from. Have rather a lot of bars of soap to use up now...

    And my INs, courtesy of Aldi's weekly offers (well, if you're going to fail, you may as well do it well!):
    3x Greek olive oil soap in lavender
    Ombia under eye roll on (already tried this, very refreshing)

    We're having a mini heatwave here at the mo. When I got in from work last night at 11.30pm, it was a whopping 25C outside :eek:

    Have a good evening all!

    Afternoon Gorgeous Ones! :wave:Another couple of UUs for me:

    UU James Brown Colour Enhancing Shampoo for chemically treated hair250ml WIBA? YESI like how light it is, how easily it rinses out, and how pretty my colour looks lately

    UU James Brown Colour Enhancing Conditioner for chemically treated hair 250ml WIBA? YES This is a really light weight conditioner that rinses out easily and leaves my hair all swingy and shiny.

    I've got loads of things on their last splutters this month.

    Hope it's all going well for you. I've joined up to the Swap group but haven't done anything about it besides pop up and say Hi. I will do though.

    Love to all. :heartpuls:heartpuls:heartpuls

    Another couple of UU from me:

    Lush Bathos bubble bar - WIBA? Not really, think it's discontinued anyway!

    Lush Softy ballistic - WIBA? Nope, trying to be good and not buy any more Lush stuff unless it's for a treat. Plus I don't like the scent anyway.

    Got a few splutters going on, which should be almost gone by the end of the week.

    Oh and a couple of in's....

    - a new bourjois foundation, which I seem to be going through pretty quickly already
    - a new bourjois lipgloss because I just liked the colour (hides in shame)
    - L'Oreal exfotonic which is my HG scrub for my upper arms as I have KP and this has acids in it that help to get rid of the bumps.

    Going to try and list some things on ebay this weekend that I want to get rid of. Don't know how successful I'm going to be but there are a few good things in there like Laura Mercier Tinted moisturiser and Bobbi Brown things that I'm not going to wear.


    oooh interesting - i have KP and just use an ordinary scrub at the moment and it doesnt really do much

    (edit - where do you get it from? i cant find it on boots or superdrug sites?)

    jealous of everyones use ups - i seem to have never ending toiletries lol

    Thanks trudji :D

    Had a huge carton delivered today with 4 boxes of 'Nature's Path Gorilla Munch Cereal' in it :eek: I knew I'd entered a competition but thought it was for one box :rotfl: I only eat cereal about once a week - this will last me a year :rotfl:

    Little Dog's eye has taken a turn for the worse :( Back to the vets tomorrow and I'm dreading it. I'm going to do some research this afternoon on Canine Eye Removal just to let myself know what happens :(

    No In's, UU's or anything for me today :( Still on target for a few before the end of the week though :p

    Hugs to all :cool:

    I sometimes see it instore with Boots, usually around this time of year. But its cheaper from cheapsmells at the moment (plus you can get cashback through topcashback) Oh and it pops up on amazon too as well. It is very VERY scrubby so you only need a teeny bit at a time. It's too precious to me to use all over my body, but it would probably be excellent all over!
