    No7 Protect and Perfect intense day cream - I used this on my neck and decolletage as it brought about an 'intense' reaction on my face. Lumps and bumps all over. Definitely WNBA.

    Dolly I had exactly the same problem with this! Had to take it back after a couple of uses and the reaction took quite some time to calm down and disappear.

    Another UU for me yesterday morning, Aussie Aussome Volume Shampoo - impressed to look back and see this was an April purchase (although it was the big 500ml size - still I probably used it around 4 times a week so not bad going). WBA but will have a change first - think I'll get the L'Oreal Everpure Colour Care and Volume shampoo and conditioner for hols.

    Also have a fair few splutterers and cut open tubes so hopefully more UU on their way shortly!
  • A UU Boots cucumber toner and an IN L'Occitane cherry blossom shower gel.

    Very proud of myself brought 2 gift sets and got another free and the shower gel and everything but the shower gel is going for all the bdays up coming:money:
    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 sales
  • Just popping in to report a UU and an IN,

    The UU is TBS Cocoa butter moisturising stick, it's a solid moisturiser, but i found quite difficult to use, especially when have of it is stuck in the mechanism after it's "finished" and you have to carve to get at :P WNBA for this reason, pity really it smelled really nice and was lovely when you actually got it on lol.

    The IN is the O2 frebbie from TBS, the shampoo and conditioner (2x60mil bottles each) and a detangling comb. Technically still no spend though hehehe

    *wanders off*

    I havea UU this week, Ren Hydra calm global protection day creme (magazine freebie),didn't think this was anything special so wont buy again.

    I have also been bad and got a purchase to declare, a gift set from elemis that I couldn't resist. Got 4 full size products for £49.50 (Body wash, shower cream, Tranquil body polish and Frangipani monoi body oil). I think the frangipani range smells gorgeous. One product will be a Christmas present.

    Not aiming to buy anything else this month.

    In order to help me with my toiletries-making project I bought a litre of Dr. Bronner's unscented soap (yes, Ruby Eskimo and friend - it is all your fault)! This should last AGES and will let me try to find/make an organic shampoo that works on me and shower gel etc.

    Hopefully, it will all be great!
    :D

    I can see a theme developing here! ;)

    No UU's to report but I did a mean home pedicure last night. I even went to work on the hard skin with this. It's a good job MrMRN was working late last night... the biproduct of my preened pieds would have ruined the illusion!!!

    I wonder if I'm making progress - went to the supermarket yesterday then had some time to pass before meeting someone so walked round a big shopping centre, through Boost and Poundland and bought NOTHING!!! :A
    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.
    Take time but don't waste time
