    Used up a small pot of mango and nectarine body butter sent to trial. It was lovely. Unfortunately the second pot is nowhere near as nice. This is the first comparative trial I've done where there has been a really marked difference. Pot 2 has too strong a scent for BB, doesn't want to rub in and then leaves a sticky residue. Looking at the label it doesn't even have nectarine in the list of ingredients.

    Another UU - Superdrug Moriccan bath, but used as shower gel. Nice smell, so WBA if it was the 19p I paid for it!!! :D
    Life is a coin, you can spend it anyway you wish, but you can only spend it once.
    Go as far as you can see, and when you get there you'll see further.

    I just realised, I haven't been tracking my ins and outs over the past few days. Naughty me!!

    UUs
    Oral-B Pro Expert toothpaste: WIBA? Maybe. No real preference with toothpaste. I bought these 342 and declared them as ins. Now I've finished the last one, so somebody else must have finished 2 so declaring them as 3 outs ;) Onto a Colgate Pro Sensitive or something. Brother's friend is fairly high up the ladder at Colgate, and gave my brother & other friends a bunch of toothpaste he had in his car boot :rotfl: :rotfl:

    INs
    Aquafresh Ultimate toothpaste: Free sample received earlier in the month that I forgot to declare :o
    Orly polishes x 3 (ordered in September): Platinum, Petit Four, Buried Treasure
    Orly Instant Artist Starter Kit (claiming this as a late Eid present from my Dad. He gave me some cash, I bought this with some of it ;))
    Boots Trial Face Cleanser for Dry Skin

    NIL ;)
    Lash Serum to test: Received yesterday, given straight to my sister to test :)

    Orly Platinum

    Orly Platinum with Purple Design (very very crude design, but I enjoyed trying it out!)

    OK

    Out -

    Lush 'Grass' Showergel - been using it to wash my makeup brushes with as I'm not a fan of the smell (WNBA)
    Lush - Sacred Truth facemask WBA as I've got 5 empty black pots to return, so it will be free!

    In

    Superdrug Tea Tree/Peppermint Moisturiser - paid for with points!
  • Good to hear you're OK mingle

    I have been flying through the fragrances this week, with 4 perfume UU, I'm not sure how I managed to have them all finish at the same time, won't have any more for ages now!

    Stella McCartney Sheer full size - WBA, am very disappointed it has finished! Nice and light fragrance for wearing to work.

    Hugo Boss Deep Red sample vial - have a nearly full bottle in my stash so no need to purchase

    Clinique Happy Heart sample vial - WBA, I much prefer this to Happy which they always give away in the GWP

    Avon Extraordinary body spray - WNBA, not keen on this which is unfortunate since I have another body spray, a nearly full bottle of perfume, the shower gel and body lotion to plough my way through :eek:. That will teach me to buy the full sets when you can't smell them first!!

    Have a good evening everyone!
    No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
    35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins

    I had been getting fed up with no UU so broke into my sachets so
    UU - Dove body cream sachet - was nice and creamy but not sure it suits my skin
    UU- sanex body wash - was ok but prefer waitrose baby stuff

    Hoping to start nail varnish buying :o- i had hypnotherapy to help me stop biting my nails - fingers crossed - after 1 day it seems to be working!
    £400,000 starting Jan 2020 current end date Aug 2041 I would love the end date to be 2027 but will aim first for 2037.
    1% target £4000 so far £20 paid

    Hi ladies!

    2 UU for me:
    TBS Rainforest Radiance conditioner mini (60ml) WIBA? Yes, its good stuff, leaves my hair lovely and soft, but you do need to use a tad extra.
    Nivea Calm and Care deodorant mini (35ml) WIBA? Possibly, smelled nice and was handy for travelling and my swimming bag.

    1 IN (my Avon order from Sept):
    Avon Damage Repair 3D Rescue. So far its left my hair softer than it has been recently, i'm impressed already.

    I have also been bad :( I have a big TBS order coming!!

    I would have a BS order coming, but it wont register that I have ticked the box saying I agree to their terms and conditions !!! Got fed up with it the 6th time I pressed to go to the final page and it bounced back saying I needed to tick the box.....

    3 ins, though I dont need to declare any I dont think, went to the boots thing tonight - mum bought some things, and I got the rosemary and witch hazel face mask sachet, the strawberry face mask sachet and the mango and papya hair sachet.... plan to use them soon though - and I dont have any of them anyway, so dont need to go near the naughty step :)
    My simple moisturiser is spluttering too - so hopefully anotehr UU before next month
