So sorry to hear about Red Trudij
I thought I had graduated from deodorants then this weekend I moved in with BF and from his bag of bathroom stuff emerged a whole load of my deodorants. Huuuummmmmm so back to being nowhere near graduating on anything!
Also an IN: Mitchum deodorant. I bought this before the aforementioned happened. And a little annoyed as this broke my 2 months of no spending. But it was definitely needed before the discovery!0 -
I'm so sorry to hear about Red, Trudji. At least you know you did the best for her that you could.
Parisian - Love the haul! How is the Nuxe lip balm? I've seen so many bloggers mention it after Lisa Eldridge said it was her fave and I am so tempted to get it.Emergency Fund - £8572.39 / £10,000 :: Mortgage OP 2025 - £LISA 24/25 - £3200 / £4000 :: NSD 2025 - 2 / 150 :: Books Read: 1 / 52 :: Decluttering - 4 / 1000Engaged 9th December 2010 :: Married 29th October 2015 :: Bought a House 13th January 20170 -
UU: Lush Magic Mushroom Bubble Bar.
I brought this all the way back in February *cringe*0 -
An IN for me today, not unnecessary though so guilt-free! Tresemme Heat Defence Styling Spray 300ml - saw this in HB for £3 and needed something similar having completely ran out. My local Boots doesn't seem to stock Toni & Guy heat protection spray which I was looking for yesterday. I've used the Tresemme version before and like it and it was cheaper so good all round!0

Another UU for me: Elle MacPherson Bare body butter 50ml.
This was part of a present from the christmas before last! The product sinks in beautifully and doesn't leave me feeling greasy like other body butters can do....but unfortunately I don't love the smell! I have a couple more Elle MacPherson products to use up in the stash.
On to the next. Feel like I'm cheating using all the mini's but it really does keep the momentum flowing!0 -

Back to report the UU. After all the disasters with expensive/not the cheapest foam hair colours last year, (John Frieda, Clairol Foam) I swore to go cheap. Needless to say, I've had no problems since.
So Wilkinson's 'Simply Colour' in Medium Brown. No conditioner, useless gloves (used the old John Frieda ones instead) and a tube to squeeze into a bottle and shake, then snip the top off. Massage into hair and leave for 30 mins. Took me back to using the same methods 25 years ago.
It worked perfectly. No really strong ammonia smell, though it was detectable. I used lashings of conditioner rinsing clear afterwards and all is well today. My hair is the colour I hoped for, the greys are masquerading as light browns, and all is well.
WIBA? At £1.09 a throw, I should say so.Erma Bombeck, American writer: "If I had my life to live over again... I would have burned the pink candle, sculptured like a rose, that melted in storage." Don't keep things 'for best' - that day never comes. Use them and enjoy them now.0 -
Trudij, so sorry to hear about Red, hugs to you and Grape.
I have 2 UU from last week (and now my UU are more than my ins for the month, phew)
Avon Perceive body spray - WMBA, I am certainly not in the market for any more fragrance at the moment but this was a nice light fragrance for work.
Body Shop Hemp hand cream - probably WNBA as I much prefer L'Occitane shea hand cream so would just buy that instead. I still have another hemp hand cream in the stash but I am going to use something different for a change first.
Have some splutterers on the go but not sure if I'll get through them this month. At least they will be easy UU for next month!No more buying unnecessary toiletries 2018
35 UU / 13 unnecessary ins0
