Hi
Another UU to report, I am on a roll.

Aloe vera gel WIBA? yes, once my other one is used up. I do have a plant but it isnt established enough yet to use willy nilly.

morning all.

Haven't posted in a week and have managed a lot of UU (though am now onto full new bottles of things so probably wont have any UU for ages now!)

UU: Lee stafford Shampoo and conditioner for hair that wont grow - WIBA? yes if on offer. Not sure it made my hair grow but was a really nice shampoo and conditioner. onto my last full sized shampoo and conditioner now though I do have a few travel sized ones to use up too.

UU: clynol color save hair spray - WIBA? nope, nothing special for the money

UU: clynol solor save leave in conditioner - WIBA? yes if I could get it on offer as it was lovely and light.

UU: Dior spray on foundation - WIBA? not sure, it was lovely coverage and stayed on really well but I found it very difficult to not get it in my hair!

UU: TBS mango body butter - WIBA? yes but only when I have used up teh other 3 in my stash - these really are good value for money as they last ages!

UU: 3/4 samples of various things!

UU: dove deodrant - WIBA? yes and have a couple in my stash from when they were last on offer!

So lots of UU this last week but fear it will eb a while before I have any more to report!

I need to report in to the naughty step. I forgot I was supposed to be avoiding Sainsbury's and their half price haircare offer. Ended up in there on Sun to get food shopping for the week and, well, you know the rest.

Bought the John Frieda Volume shampoo and conditioner and the Brunette shampoo and conditioner, so that's 4 ins for me. I feel a bit guilty as I have literally years worth (prob about 3!) of shampoo and conditioner in the stash, but not much JF and I do love the stuff, and I so rarely see it on offer... ah well, too late now anyway!

I am now avoiding all other toiletry shops until I actually NEED to buy something!!

Afternoon all, have been very bad and not posted on here since August. Have had far too many IN'S, but had quite a few UU's:

Pantene Ice Shampoo (400 ml) - This took ages to use up, but I did quite like it. Very good deal when on offer - I would buy again.

Nivea Essential Care Lip Balm - The original flavour/scent, and I think this one does the job better than many of the others - I would buy again.

Avon Clearskin Clarifying Pads X 2 - Lost count how may of these I have got through, they are just fab - I will always buy these.

Calvin Klein In 2U bodywash - Came free with perfume which I love, but overpriced by themselves - would not buy seperately.

Superdrug Dry Shampoo - Tried this as I get through loads of Batiste, its just not as good - would not buy again.

Botanics Luxurious Bath Elixir - Smells lush but dont often soak in bath - so would probably not buy again.

Avon Clearskin Correcting Lotion - Cant explain what a difference this has made to my skin, its rich enough moisturiser for thesummer but layer it under cetaphil in the winter - will definitely buy again.

Botanics Eye Make Up Remover - Fab fab product - will definitely buy again and again.

Carex Sensitive Hand wash X 2 - Didnt like these, they dried my handds out - would not buy again.

Soap&Glory The Daily Smooth Body Butter - Love this, makes my skin lovely and smooth, smells fab - would buy again.

Avon Anew lash Transforming Serum - Put this on lashes and sparse eyebrows, has made a real difference, dont buy it at full price from Avon, get it on ebay for a quarter of the price - would definitely buy again.

Olay Total Effects Heat Exfoliator - Too harsh for my face but lovely on the body - would definitely buy again (especially with £5 voucher).

Nivea Soft Moisturising Cream - Cheap as chips, and suits my skin on my face - will buy again.

Dermalogica Ultracalming Cleanser - lovely product but too pricey - will not buy again (unless feeling very flush!)

Pantene Ice Shine Shampoo - ok product not great though - probably wont buy again.

Sarah Jessica Parker Lovely perfume (50ml) - had this for ages, nice delicate scent - may well buy again.

Boots nail varnish remover - cheapest in the shops, and does the job great - will definitely buy again.

Soap& Glory Butter Up Cream - quite nice cream, not their best - probably would not buy again.

Palmers lipbalm - think this was chocolate flavour, but was not pleasant, couldnt wait for it to finish - would not buy again.

Batiste Diva Dry Shampoo - great product, nice scent - would buy again.

Make Up Forever Sens'Eyes Make Up Remover - not as goos as the Botanics and far too expensive - would not buy again.

Tesco Shave Foam - really cheap, and doesnt dry up the skin on my legs - would buy again.

Philosophy Pure Grace Perfume - this was a gift and loved it. Not normally what I would choose but it smells amazing, so clean and fresh - will definitely buy again.

Nars Sheer Glow foundation - didnt get on with this to begin with, but was sad to see it all finished. Lovely glowy foundation but too expensive at £29 - may buy again.

Two OUTs for me:

Body Shop Rainforest Moisture Conditioner - WBA as it's lovely and moisturising and smells absolutely beautiful, and isn't too expensive either. The only downside was that the bottle was a bit stiff and difficult to squeeze sometimes but I think that's the nature of small bottles and it would probably be less difficult if I got the bigger size.
DKNY Be Delicious EDP - WBA as it smelt lovely, very crisp and fresh so a lovely autumnal scent. That said the bottle design looks great but is really annoying for getting the last bits out of.

I do however have four INs:

Simple Kind To Eyes Eye Make Up Corrector Pen
Lush Vanishing Cream moisturiser
Lush The Smell of Weather Turning perfume (which I am mildly obsessed with)
Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout shampoo

The Vanishing Cream and CSS are things I'm running out of though, and I am notoriously cack-handed at doing my own eye make-up so the corrector pen is a must-have for me. I freely admit I can't justify the perfume but it smells so amazing that I don't care

One OUT..Pure Revitalising Toner

and one IN..Boots Cosmetic Super Soft Pleat

Oh my. It's been a while since I've been on here and even longer since I last did NOT buy toiletries. :eek: I did really well until the summer, when I spent birthday money on toiletries and then got the bug again. :cool: I had forgotten all about this group until I came across my 'toiletries log book' which sadly is very out of date.

I have well and truly fallen off the wagon, but herewith announce my intention to get back on again IMMEDIATELY!
Wish me luck!
